MGS4 really has that much replay value? I haven't played it, but I hear its good. But forever?? GTA IV which is fantastic, I beat and traded it in, once story is done its kinda boring. I played about 100 hours of Oblivion on the PC and that was it for me although I loved it.

Mine might be:

CoD4 (although I prefer keyb + mouse)
FIFA 08
Madden 09 (comes out in a couple weeks....I've decided that it counts)
Super Stardust HD

But then, I love sports games and playing multiplayer....

Finishing "The Days of the French Revolution", that story is truly insane, and they need to make a movie depicting its insanity. Next, I'm reading "The Iranians ..." (I like non-fiction)

I'm also reading the Hush Batman comics right now in between all the madness....

"Thing is, PC games don't sell massive amounts in short bursts like console games. A console game might sell 1 mil in a week. PC games sell over time. Not all gamers can play all the games straight away so they wait until they upgrade and then get it. But lots of developers expect PC games to sell as much as console games straight away and if they don't then they cry out: "OMG TEH PIRACY! PC GAMING IS DEAD! CONSOLES FTW!" and then cease all support for the PC.

While console games do sell more than PC games, most of them don't have as much longevity as PC games. People play them through once then some multiplayer and in 6 months it's totally forgotten. On the PC you have 10 year old games like Starcraft that are still played widely. All this sales, marketing and hype bullshit has mad developers forget that console market and the PC market is very different.

Get Super Stardust HD. Great game, plus trophies if you're into that. (You might find yourself getting into them if you're not already.)

I think it really makes you play the game in a different way, and perhaps makes the game more interesting. I can only speak to Super Stardust HD since it is the only game with trophies right now, but it really adds another layer of depth to the gameplay. This might not be difficult in a game like Stardust, so I'm interested to see what developers can do to more complex games.

Yeah I think you're right, although I do love to take the Akron Zips to the National Championship game.

Which one will you buy/play?
