Finished Arkham Asylum a few days ago with 100% Riddler challenges solved (Nice touch with his apartment getting raided at the end).

Downloaded Arkham City and have sunk a few hours into it already, really enjoy the openness of it. Seems like there is plenty of side quests and good stuff packed into it, I enjoy the reoccurring characters and the rival super villain gangs fighting for supremacy.

I still have 150 guys from the 80's and 90's created in NHL 12. I'm thinking of starting up another fantasy season. I'm just trying to come up with a team. I'm thinking of going with,

Pavel Bure ......... Evgeni Malkin ....... Bob Probert
Jordan Eberle ..... Alyn McCauley ...... Steve Thomas
Matt Frattin ....... Brad Marchand ...... Ethan Moreau
Jim Cummins ..... Mike Angelidis ....... Brian McGrattan

Derian Hatcher ........... P.K. Subban
Darius Kasparaitis ...... Jake Gardiner
Cam Russell .............. Alexander Karpovtsev

Ron Hextall and Anders Lindback in net.

I'm really slow in getting news games. I'm playing the first Black Ops for PS3. I have not played zombies yet, that seems to be the biggest deal from the game. I find it strange that you "buy" stuff not earn them online like contracts, equipment and perks.

I remember way back in the day metriod's "samus" first female main character brought some contraversy. now the are the norm. and looking good too.

Black Ops 2 really isn't that good. Everything is so complicated to set up a class. The killstreaks are so high set that a normal person can't even get to them. My longest streak is 12 kills and that was hard to do.

The maps. Well they're really ****y. It's just the same stuff over and over again. And it seems like the quality and clearity has gone down. MW2 was clearer and just a better game over all. I miss the days of COD 4 when it was jus UAV, air strike and chopper. It was so simple but it was one of the best games they made, besides MW2.

Last thing, everyone plays the same. Silenced sub machine gun with a laser, or a semi auto shotgun. It's no fun when everyone is camping behind a corner or head glitching behind a box or something. If I wanted to play a game where everyone was camping, i'd play search and destroy all day. End rant.

You just described the entire CoD franchise.

Have you tried playing Battlefield 3?

This rant is why I stopped playing the COD franchise as a whole.

Rehashed, worse quality, predictable and disappointing changes when implemented.

I stopped, and thankfully, haven't decided to go back.

Battlefield 3 is still my go to for a first person shooter. I'll probably be hitting that up some point in the coming days as I wrap up AC 3.

I have no. Is it really that good? I've heard a lot off good things about it and how it's 100 times better than COD.

I will consider buying it because COD is getting boring and it's not fun like it use to be back in the day.

You summed it up quite nice. I was befuddled about how the classes are set up. There's a lot of stuff mixed in. The maps are giant. The "spy planes" are too plentiful, forced to use ghost perk. I have Battlefield Bad Company 2. I remember giving up quickly because of how different all the controls are. I was getting killed left and right due to lack of knowledge about BF. I may give it another try.

been playing nba 2k12 with my created player and finally coming to grips with the controls a little bit.My power forwad is averaging 13 points and 6.5 boards in his second year.Top game but there are so many controls it does my head in a bit.

Far cry 3 arrived today though and after chucking it in for a quick look,4 hours later i'm impressed.So far been bitten by a snake,crocodile,komodo dragon,bear and a white tiger.

Good shooter/explorer so far and pretty impressed

I like COD for the storyline, that's why I but it and have since the first one came out. I just got Medal of Honor's latest installment and I am super excited to play it.

Also got NHL 13 for Christmas because I refuse to pay money toward hockey products during a lockout. Curious to see how it plays.
