Oh hell yeah! I'm alllll over that deal!
Been blazing through FPS games with gamefly. I like them but glad I don't pay full price. Had more but they were unavilable at the moment so they sent Dragon Age 2. First one kicked my ass so i have no business playin this one. Oh well.
Putting it in random video game talk until a better source crops up but...

We don't have a MLB 2K10 thread here, so I'll just toss this in here. I put MLB 2K10 in for the first time since July 13th last year. My very first game, a play now game of Philadelphia at Colorado, playing as the Rockies. The stat line from the game:
Going into the top of the 6th inning, there were a grand total of 5 hits combined by both teams. I managed to get six straight strikeouts between the 4th and 5th innings with Ubaldo Jimenez, while I also constantly struck out, popped out, and flied out during my time at the plate.
This game was so close and so difficult for either team to pull ahead, that it wasn't until Todd Helton hit a double in the bottom of the 7th inning before either team had actually managed to get past 2nd base all game, with Helton advancing Troy Tulowitzki over to 3rd from 1st.
Of course, with runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, I still managed to fuck it up, striking out with Chris Ianneta and then flying out to shallow center field with Ian Stewart, and then thinking I could manage to steal home just after the catch was made, got tagged out trying to scamper my ass back to 3rd.
Managed to recover with forcing two strikeouts and a ground out in the top of the 8th. Bottom of the 8th, struck out with Seth Smith, then brought Miguel Olivo in as a pinch hitter for Jimenez. First pitch, a fast ball right down the middle, smashed that bitch out of left field for a home run, the game winning score.
A couple shitty at bats with my last couple batters, then back to the field with Huston Street on the mound to force a ground out and two strike outs, and that's the ballgame. A 1-0 win in which Troy Tulowitzki and Miguel Olivo were the only players in the entire game, for either team, to ever get past second base.
Of the hits in the game, all four Philly hits were singles, with Shane Victorino being the only Philly to reach second base on a steal. Of the Rockies seven hits, five were singles, one double, and one home run. Overall, the Rockies batted .233, while the Philles were .133 at the plate.
It was quite the battle. Rockies pitchers ended the game with 15 strike outs, with Jimenez getting 13 strikeouts over 8 full innings, and then Street coming in to close things out in the 9th and adding two more strikeouts. Phillies pitchers managed to strike me out 7 times, all of them by Roy Halladay in 7 2/3 innings.
Playing MLB 2K10 for my first time in 358 days, that was one hell of a baseball game to start back up in the game with.
Just finished my second game in my Return to Baseball Tour on MLB 2K10. This time, I just completed a career game. For the first time ever, in my entire career on baseball games, from MLB The Show on PS2, to all of the games that I have owned/played in the 2K series, I have finally pitched my first ever perfect game. Of the 27 batters I faced, I struck out 18.
I'm sorry to say psuexv, that it was the Pirates who faced my feat of greatness.
4 hits allowed in 2 games, SP? Are you using some of JB's sliders?
The game isn't big enough for it's own thread but I just have to sing the praises of Enslaved some more. I absolutely LOVED it. It's the 2nd best game I've played for the first time, this year (Mass Effect 2 being the best). I found the Ninja Gaiden/God of War-like gameplay addicting but the best thing about the game is the "acting." Best acting in any game I've ever played, PERIOD. Even superior to Mass Effect. I'm not the type to get emotionally attached to characters but the driving force that kept me playing was the relationship between the 2 main characters. It's a simple adversaries-to-best friends-through-a-shared-traumatic-experience story but watching it unfold was wholly believable. If you haven't played it, seriously, check it out.

Yeah that's why I jumped on it when it was $25 not too long after release, I just haven't had the time to get to it yet. Too many games ahead of it.Originally Posted by souljahbill
Considering the fall line-up and the fact it can't be whored for an easy platinum, I doubt you'll get to.

Not all games I get are to whore them....actually there aren't too many games I get to just get the platinum....otherwise I'd have more than 9 plats
Well, when you need an NCAA 12 break, I recommend it wholeheartedly.Not all games I get are to whore them....actually there aren't too many games I get to just get the platinum....otherwise I'd have more than 9 plats

Uh, no. I don't need to play on the lowest difficulty settings, unlike JB.4 hits allowed in 2 games, SP? Are you using some of JB's sliders?
And my second game, besides being my first ever perfect game in my career of playing baseball video games, I was playing against the Pirates, so it's not really a shocker that they had little or no hits.
So my pitching is great, as I feel right at home and extremely comfortable with the analog stick for my pitching commands. It's my hitting that I suck ass at. I can't even begin to count how many times those fuckers threw a fastball literally right down the middle at me, and I swung very late (after the ball was already fucking past me!) because I'm still struggling at trying to get used to the pitch speeds and how soon I have to start swinging to hit the ball.

Auditorium HD is one beautiful puzzle game ...

Not bad... gives me the feeling of a bit of single-character Secret of Mana or something. If you end up trying it out, post your thoughts and I may check it out further.
I'm most likely going to end up buying it. It has some crazy replay value with a New Game+ feature and so many different weapons/upgrades to weapons that it's incredibly intriguing and with it being part of the Summer XBLA games thing, it's not gonna be expensive (but, also, unfortunately, limits you from being able to play it until there's a PC release)
So, I did buy Bastion and I've played a good two hours of it so far. The narration for this game is AMAZING. The story is definitely interesting, but slow moving and the combat is just pure joy. The beautiful thing is you can fully customize your difficulty through idols in shrines. More idols placed means it's more difficult but also means more money/experience.
If the game had item collecting (like Diablo), it would really put it over the top for XBLA games. As it is, I'll be playing the hell out of it for a while now (hoping it's fairly long in length, but don't know for sure about that).
I bought it. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet though. I saw a gameplay vid and what everyone was saying from my gaming friends on Google+ and definitely went out and got it.
