The boyfriend started playing Turok for the Xbox360 last night. It's a beautiful game, but pretty mindless. Controls also seem a bit sketchy.

I'm pretty disinterested.

See, I'm being the good girlfriend by keeping him company and sitting beside him while he plays his little video game.

I can't wait for Condemned: Criminal Origins to come in.

i've stockpiled a bunch of good 360 games - but i cant for the life of me get interested in playing them ... i dont know if it's because it's summer or what - but i just cant sit in front of the xbox for 10 seconds.... other than the occasional tune on rock band - but even that bores me now.

i have no business being in this thread for a while ..


i miss Halo :(

I forget - Have you picked up Bioshock yet? I definitely recommend it. Kept me absolutely riveted.

And, honestly, Condemned 2: Bloodshot was pretty damn good, too.

I hear ya.

I've also got the newest of the newest in PS3 games and non of them, except for Metal Gear solid which i finished 2 weeks ago, speaks to me. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but first time i die or lose i turn of the console... Man, maybe i'm just not 16 anymore.. :(

Now i'm just here, doing what i do best. Poking people. hehe. :)

Is Condemned: Criminal Origins the first or the second?

i picked up Bioshock a while ago ... a friend at work has been raving about it - and from what he said i need a bit of time to invest in it.

here's the thing - Halo was perfect for me ..
it had frequent saving points - the story was linear - just run and shoot ... no thinking required ... I really liked the music and the visuals - and the vehicles ..

but most importantly ... the saving .. if i died i only lost a couple of minutes and i was back again.


these other games seem like too much time and effort is required - thats really not what i'm looking for .. i just want to run around - find cool stuff - not have to figure crap out - because i really dont want to invest any effort at all into any game.

i probably will check out Bioshock at some point ... maybe this winter .. hopefully i can stay interested for more than 5 minutes because none of these other games have grabbed me :

Assasins Creed
Fear
Quake IV
Prey
Gears of War
Clive Barker's Jericho
Dead Rising

a few others i cant remember ...

I get bored after 10 - 15 minutes.

If fear bored you, then it may not be for you. Bioshock is cerebral even if you are playing just run and gun.

see thats something i like when watching a movie or playing a book ...
i'm just not into it when playing a game ..

dunno why ..

or maybe i do ..


playing a game has always been my last choice for things to do ...
(i'm not putting down anyone who likes games - they just arent my thing)
so when i'm in that frame of mind .. i guess i just want to run around - see cool art (landscapes) and shoot crap .. i'm not interested in working at anything ..

If i was - i'd be doing something else ..

i guess that's the deal
