Glad I wasn't the only one... I'm surprised that I didn't read more reviews saying, "I was bored out of my mind." Redundant, I can deal with as long as it grabs my attention to begin with.

I started playing Mass Effect today... Aaaaaaaaaaaaand... Dunno. Surprisingly hasn't grabbed my attention, either. Maybe I'm just ADD when it comes to video games. But I'm disappointed at how slow it is.

Anyone play Mass Effect and feel the same way? Does it pick up?

I didn't like it at all.To much walking around here and here and doing this and that.I played it for maybe a half hour and that was it.

So it's not just me then. Geez. Two strikeouts in a row: Assassin's Creed and now Mass Effect.

Which is a shame because I thought that Bioshock was so ridiculously incredible and it really renewed my interest in video games.

What do you usually play, Freak? Any recs?

I'll give just about anything a try but I prefer shooters.I play Call of Duty 4 alot as well and Gears of War.The Condemned games are pretty good.

Oh and I loved Assassin's Creed.Massive world to explore and no limits to where you can go.

Assasin's Creed to me felt a mile long but about an inch thick... Huge world, but not much to do in it but kill soldiers with your limited means... I mean, you're in the central of a BAZARRE, for Christ's sake... Why can't you do dealings and barterings? Why can't you interact with the town's people more than just running into them or pushing them gently?

Then again, I didn't get too far into it, so maybe it picks up?

the side missions are totally boring, but the campaign get pretty exciting.

get Elder Scrolls Oblivion. by far the best game i've played on the 360, not to mention one of the best games i've played ever. its TEN miles long and TEN miles thick. I got in close to 300 hours before i beat it, but thats because i spend the majority of that doing the hundreds of side mission scattered throughout the game.

I have Oblivion on the PC. And it definitely is one of the best games out there....Just don't expect to have much of a life once you start playing it. :D

I thought Assassin's Creed was a fun game. I had it on a rental, I've just been waiting on the price to drop to play it any further. It reminded me a lot of the "Thief" series. Thief was a bit more straight-forward though.

Right now, I'm playing The Orange Box and Unreal Tournament. :)
