Eh, I know what you mean about having it in your hand, but EGM specifically I was never really fond of. Their reviews always seemed so....wishywashy. Dunno. That';s just me though.
Well before I get to the main topic, lemme just say I rented Mirror's Edge finally and must admit I'm a little let down. They really had the potential for a lot more BAMF moments but fell really short in that department. It's immersive and I love the way the game feels but the demo was misleading to me. I don't like being on this leash but I still love the game, however painfully short it may be.
Also, finally saw 3:10 to Yuma. Good movie. Not great, but very good. Awesome acting with some bad plot holes kinda sums it up for me. Nice camerawork and amazing locations, to boot.
As for the big news, my lovely wife and I have been doing early Christmas gifts for each other. She got Wii Fit, as previously mentioned, and for some reason she decided to surprise me today with Rock Band 2! So now I have a music game for the first time ever, getting used to the instruments and whatnot. About mastered Drums on Easy and getting the hand of Guitar on Medium, and steadily progressing.
The best part of it all: She actually plays with me! We take turns on the different peripherals. Sometimes she sings, plays drums, and even guitar. I prefer the drums but have been playing the guitar to get better and to try and appreciate it more. All in all, awesome surprise and best of all we are playing together! It's great.
Duuude that's a lot of games! Been playing some GOW2 myself. Loved every minute of Fable II! As for L4D, definitely a rental but not sure about if I wanna buy or not.
Yea dude. I definitely love being able to feel like I'm playing a major role, not like I'm the whole story in a game. Noticed the same things while playing Gears. It felt huge!
