I finally beat ms splosion man. Good lord that game was hard. I felt like I was playing some kind of torture technique. It was a significantly less fun than the first one.

Recently completed Alan Wake on Xbox 360, playing through it with a friend so I could get her all of the collectibles/trophies.

Highly underrated and really didn't get much pub, but a very worthy (and at times trippy) survival horror romp. Think "Silent Hill" as written by Stephen King.

I played about 1/2 of Alan Wake. I loved everything about it but the core gameplay which obviously is a huge problem. The gunplay was really repetitive and boring. I love what they were trying to do though. They nearly pulled off one of the best games of this generation.

Rockstar needs to release a patch that lets you do this on the X360 version.

Like don't waste your time less fun or controller tossing less fun? I loved the original and am tempted to snag this today.

It's really hard and sometimes cheap. It all depends how much you like a challenge. Personally I thought it was less fun but I did complete it.

I played through the first one on the mode where you have to ace the level or start it completely over. Methinks I may really enjoy Ms Splosion Man.

Pre-ordered Forza 4. Excited about the built in suspension geometry and tire data from Pirelli. Also, it looks like a beautiful game.
