I watched the video review for fallout 3 and just don't know if it is for me. I like that it seems like it would last longer then left 4 dead but I dunno.

Fallout 3 was a great game!

Playing Gears of War 2 right now...seems kinda lame compared with the first one...much easier.

Get Fallout 3 James. Left for Dead is no fun by yourself (awesome with three other guys), Resistance 2 was good, but Fallout was an experience. It drove me nuts with the bugginesss but it's a game with a ton to offer. Of course I could just tell you what i've told everyone else this year, skip all three and get Dead Space, still my fav game of the year

I didn't get as much this year game wise. Got a copy of IL2-Sturmovik for the PC and a copy of Mushroom Men on the wii. Haven't tried IL2 yet but MM is actually pretty good!

Just in case you don't know, you can use the nunchuck instead of the wheel ( I don't use the wheel at all), Mario Kart Wii is great!!

I also agree with virtualsmitty, Deadspace was great!!!

I know you can, but played it at best buy and liked the wheel. Eh, maybe I'll just make the GF use the wiimote and I'll take the wheel

Dead Space was a great game-played through twice for all the goodies...realized that I would have to play through 5 times to get the upgrade achievment.

Very True!!! There is something about starting over that is so much fun.

first impressions of fallout 3 are pretty good. Not very far into the game yet, but one thing I've noticed is you can get yourself in alot of trouble wandering around when you don't have very good guns. Haven't decided if I want to be a good or bad person yet, have only stole a few things so far

Found a good indie game while up in Syracuse this past weekend. Needed something to pass the time at night and my laptop has a suck ass video card. It's called Spelunky, it's a mad fun 8 bit platformer:

It's really very addicting!

Well last night I found out that my 360's dvd drive is BROKE!!! DAMN IT! It won't read any games and the UI on NXE just says "open tray". After doing some research on the net to find out a cause it looks like the dvd drive has failed. So now I need to wait to get a return box, and then wait even longer for them to send me back a replacement 360 or drive (not sure which they'll do) So I've now experienced the RROR and dvd failure issues that xbox 360's are known for!

But I love my 360!!!

I won't be gaming for a while.

I had to put Fallout 3 down for a while becuase I was playing it too much. I swithc to an xbox360 titles called Culdcept Saga..it is a CCG meets a board game...most of the battles take at least 1.5 hours..so much for less time playing games
