it was also predictably short. I think I enjoyed it more than the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, though.

Next up for me is The Sabotuer while waiting for God of War III.

I know it's old but I'm stoked to play HL2 again with The Orange Box. 99 achievements is crazy.

I'm a little late here but I'm absolutely enamored in FFXIII right now. It's insanely good. However this is coming from someone who has been waiting for this game for a really long time and is a HUGE fan of the entire series. YMMV, I suppose, but this game is amazing to me.

Back to 2k10: Catcher defense is worthless (Computer team steals at will) and I'm really sick of Molina hitting .250 with 3 soft groundouts/GIDPs to second per game, and I've decided I'd rather play GM than manager, so I'm looking to trade him. Anyone found a decent catcher who's available yet? Mauer seems to be untouchable without offering an even better player, I'm not crazy about McCann even if he is available. I can get Wieters, but he looks pretty unimpressive at a glance and I don't know how young players progress from year to year, so not sure if I should settle for him.

Also, anyone figure out how to get the Dodgers to give up Kershaw? Quantity trades work for players with ratings in the low 80s, but it seems once you get up around 87 they're unobtainable unless you're trading a better player or they have a big contract.

I'm digging FFXIII even though I'm 7 hours in...I think it has a better battle system than FFXII but I prefer FFX more.

Bad thing is you only have control of one person and can't swap out players...kinda lame, but kinda works so far.

More linear gameplay than FFXII but similar to FFX

Graphics are stunning
