I haven't played it yet since it's a Xmas present & it's sitting in my stocking but does anyone have or read any reviews on Gran Turismo 5?

Anyone tried Kinect? I picked up Adventures and Sports for myself and Dance Central for my wife (okay, secretly I want to play it too). So far I've only tried Adventures which is surprisingly fun. There's a little lag and jankiness but for the most part it works really well. I like it a lot more than I was expecting. I bet it's a hoot in party situations.

Oh man, we played for hours last night. My arms hurt like hell and my stomach is sore from laughing. The girls took over w/Dance Central @ midnight and went till 5 AM. I never, ever enjoyed the Wii but can see myself grabbing a Kinect.

I was just at Gamestop after deciding I need a new game. Narrowed down my choices to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, FIFA 11, and NHL 11. Went with ACB in the end and haven't had a chance to pop it in and see whether I made a good choice, but does anyone play either of the other two? I may decide to pick up another one since I just can't get into Dead Rising 2.

I definitely like Assassin's Creed altho, im a fan of the series so I may be kind of biased. I do enjoy they have added much more for you to do in this game and hiring and training a team of assassin's is one of the cool new parts that have been added.

FIFA 11 is great if you're a soccer fan. It's incredibly realistic so if you don't enjoy the inner workings of soccer, you won't enjoy it.

Let me know if you get it, I need someone to play with on that game. All of my friends just play COD.

All I play is FIFA. It was 2010 until, I just got FIFA 11 this week.
It's awesome. Juventus all the way.

Playing online, everyone picks Real Madrid or Barcelona.

I usually play with Aston Villa or an MLS team. It's more of a challenge.

I play w/ Villa a bit. Young is tough. Real fast and can shoot.
I just started a new season w/ Fulham. Glad Dempsey finally got some love. An 80 overall.
They just don't have anyone like Krasic or Del Piero that can score from anywhere. Plus Juventus has Buffon to help w/ my defensive lapses.

Try playing with Athletico Madrid from the Spanish league. Diego Forlan from Uruguay has an unbelievable shot. I've made some circus shots with him.
