Batman is getting ridiculously good reviews and is being heralded as the best Superhero game EVER. Pretty easy choice in my opinion (and I HATED the first Batman game because of how linear it was).

I personally didnt think RAGE was a huge disappointment. I actually thought it was quite fun, but it has one of the worst endings EVER!!!!!!! The Battlefield single player is very much so like COD but seemingly all shooters have that same element to them now, fast paced, alot of action, and then its over, and like he said no real reason to replay it over again.

I thought the first Batman was great, but was NOT a big fan of the combat system (mainly in the challenge stuff....it wasn't that much of a hindrance in the SP campaign). The 2nd one is bigger and better according to friends, so I'll get around to the 2nd one eventually. Too many other games to knock out beforehand and getting it cheaper down the road is a nice side perk. :)

The Pinball Arcade will be out for XBLA and PS3 early next year....features classic real-life pinball tables. Can't wait for this one.

If it doesn't have The Black Knight, it sucks.

So maybe you guys can help me out here,MW3 is just around the corner within 1 1/2 weeks.But I'm trying to decided if I should get either a razor gaming mouse or a wired Xbox 360 controller for it.With how fast MW is I'm not sure I can adapt to a mouse / keyboard style I dunno.My other concern is that would the 360 controller set up just like the console layout and movement etc. What would you guys do?

Razor gaming mouse or Xbox wired 360 controller ?

Thanks man!

I thought this was supposed to be easier than registering your console via the serial number? Now I have to download shit? :D

I did this a few hours ago. I know it says two or three days, but I'm secretly hoping it pops up way sooner than that. Also, a little heads up, once you download the program to your console, you HAVE to actually run it. I know a lot of people on the private forums were wondering why something wasn't working, and that's why. For me, I just selected run when the download complete notification popped up, so I didn't have the problem.

I came here to post just that. You do have to go to the games section and play/run the Beta Download. It now says 1-2 days, after I just finished the registration.

They could have made this a touch easier. Of course I am still trying to figure out what these private forums are that you are talking about. ;)

Even though it was announced that Ubisoft acquired Trials HD dev RedLynx, Trials Evolution will still be an indie title working with Microsoft, probably their last indie title.

Did not know they were aquired by Ubisoft. Well at least we get one more good game out of them. Then they will probably end up like Rainbow Studios after the THQ purchase. Tossing out rushed crappy motocross games with last gen visuals.

Just got Burgertime: World Tour ... not getting great reviews, but just from watching videos, I'll enjoy it.

13 months.

Well, there goes ever getting all the achievements for 2K11, since I pretty much have all the online achievements still to get, among others.

I was right about Burgertime: World Tour. I enjoyed it, got through half of the first world last night. If you're a fan of the arcade original, you'll like this one.

If anyone is interested in a Tower Defense game with significant Action RPG elements, you should definitely check out Dungeon Defenders. It's $15 on XBLA, PSN, or Steam and it's crazy addictive and I'm only playing by myself. The game has 4 player co-op.

There's lots of different upgrades for weapons and armor, there's pets to add to your arsenal, and there's plenty of upgrading to your character as well.

I'm tempted to get it.
