In my spare time, I've been doing a lot of the multiplayer Hunger Games Minecraft Mod. Most people are ridiculously stupid in chat, but the gameplay itself is really fun. :3

yeah, everything I've seen on prototype 2 makes it look like the only thing to play for is story cause there is no gamplay dynamics from the first one. I would buy it to play for the story but I'm not sure I'd be able to play through it completely, the fun factor would be low without anything different when it comes to the action.

It would be a different story if it were more leaning to the RPG genre cause there would be alot more cutscenes and what not but a game like this is played for the action, those elements weren't changed much if at all.

If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

A bit more playing and it's more apparent that the gameplay is similar but also different from the first one. The story is interesting with a twist I was not expecting and I'm curious to see how this 3-way power struggle rife with backstabs and sabotage work out. Will still need to get further in the storyline to get a feel of maxed-out Heller versus maxed-out Mercer but Heller doesn't seem to have the same type of movement maneuverability that Mercer has and one particular new technique, the Tendrils, I have been enjoying quite a bit. Granted I'm just borrowing it since I didn't feel like spending money on it at the moment but I'd recommend giving it a shot if you liked the first one when the price goes down a bit.

3/4 through ME3 now, want to finish it off so I can give Pandora's Tower on the wii a try since my mates tell me it's like a crossover between Zelda and Nier, which is recipe for win =)

Finished getting the Platinum in Mass Effect 3. Hated the fact that I could not skip through ANY of the dialogue in the last 20 minutes of the game on my Insanity run. Ended up playing Puzzle Quest whilst it went about it's business.

Been watching trailers and gameplay vids of PT since last year and I might cop the European version since I liked what I've seen, I'm a Zelda and Nier fan, and NOA has their thumbs up their asses to bring it stateside. Although I will admit the cutie's 2nd form grosses me out, I was eating a foot long sub while watching the first trailer and DID NOT see that coming (I went back to eating 2 minutes later, was very hungry that day).

TERA is the game I would be spending money on if I hadn't pre-ordered Diablo 3.

Totally forgot about D3. I do wonder what % of the game that beta was. I'm all about crawling some dungeons, but I don't really see the appeal of multiple playthroughs.
