Anyone else looking forward to Saints Row: The Third?

Yup, tho I'll admit, I got into Saints Row pretty late.

Yeah, i really loved SR2 and how good it's character creator was, even letting you pick the voices. And SR3 seems to have even more options.

And i'm loving the gangs in the new one, like the Deckers.

Hey, I don't know if any of you guys know this. But My nephew popped in an old xbox console game I still have lying around and it worked. They must of upgraded it to play all the old game. I just started to replay Ultimate Spider-Man.

You are waaaayy behind.

Sony hacked again.

 

[Void.M]

Seriously?

 

[the watcher]

You are waaaayy behind.

Hey, give me a break. I'm not a huge gamer. And when I first got an Xbox 360 I tryed it and it didn't work. So I just gave up on it.

Metal Mario (from the 64 game) & Lakitu (the one with the camera on the cloud) will be playable characters in Mario Kart 7, and there'll be 32 courses!

Just beat Uncharted 3 after a touch of frustration. As poorly done as the firearms mechanics are, the story, pacing and characters, make it one if the best games I ever played. The ending was solid and has me looking forward to Golden Abyss.

 

[thee great one]

I picked up the limited edition of the Metal Gear Solid Collection today.

 

[Ice]

I'm on Chapter 6 for Uncharted 3 & am close to finishing the main story for Arkham City. The Freeze boss fight is likely my favorite & best one out of both Batman games.

 

[Drunken Pickle]

I just beat uncharted 3 on hard and now playing on crushing. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this one. My only gripe with it was the crouching didn't seem to always respond and my controller is relatively new.

After that I am so buying the mgs collection

I picked up the limited edition of the Metal Gear Solid Collection today.

I got mine too, what's neat is not only is there MGS 2, MGS 3 and Peacewalker, there's also the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. So if you have MGS 1 & 4, you can play the whole franchise in in-game continuity order.

American or jap metal gear 2?

I am so doing that. I have both the ps1 and twin snakes version of MGS.

 

[Ice]

I need to get MGS and I will do this too. Once I get the HD collection as well.

I'm not sure which version, my guess is the US version (isn't that the one that uses the modern character designs?). You access them from the Metal Gear Solid 3 start screen.

 

[Zombipanda]

I hate all you PS3 owners.

 

[Jaggyd]

I hate all you PS3 owners.

The HD Collection is available for the 360

 

[Zombipanda]

The HD Collection is available for the 360

But it doesn't come with MGS 1 or 4!

 

[Jaggyd]

We picked up Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 this weekend. Lego games are the best.

Assassin's Creed Revelations!

You know, I'm kinda mixed about the firearms. On the one hand, I know I'm a great marksman, especially in video games (remember boys, aim small miss small) but there were times when I couldn't hit the broad side of the barn. and then immediately after, three headshots in a row! Then I read an article where the devs stated they did it on purpose to add to the chaos of the story and environment. And going in knowing that, it makes sense and it creates this crazy awesome vibe like I'm stuck in a John Woo shootout. I heard the multiplayer mechanics handle differently but I have yet to play it.
