I need to buy that.

Played Conan for the 360, but I can't really get into it. The gameplay feels very clunky and the combat is not working for me.

I also got some other new games, one of which is 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. And after playing 3 levels I have to say that to my surprise that this game is pretty good. It's very arcade-y which I always like and it's very silly and over the top. Also the dialogues and one-liners are so awful, they become hilarious.

Has anyone played eternal sonata? I'm thinking of buying it.

Been playing Resistance 2. This game is awesome. Non stop actions.

Yeah, "Eternal Sonata" is really good if you're into that sort of thing.

I'm not a big JRPG fan, but I still enjoyed it mostly due to it's freaking divine beauty.

if you enjoyed the Guilty Gear games you'll feel right at home, i was never much of a GG enthusiast so my approach to BB was cautious, but i'm pretty happy with it. They share similar fight systems, but BB reminded me more of Capcom´s Darkstalkers, and i've found it more acessible than both.

check out IGN's overly enthusiastic review if you haven´t yet.

My only gripe is that character roster is kinda short (12) but to learn each one of them will take time, and their repective story modes are kinda extensive, with multiple alternative paths. It's almost safe to bet that Arc will release additional DLC charaters in the future, GG had several revisions.

I finished 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand a couple days ago. I kinda hated the game at the end and I'm happy I'm done with it.

Right now I'm playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I'm on the 5th mission I think and I like it so far, butr the combat isn't all that and the camera is horrible. Killing enemies with the lightsaber and force powers is a lot of fun though.

Finished The Force Unleashed. It's too bad the game is filled with bugs, glitches, horrible platforming and a terrible camera system, because this game sure has potential. Playing with the force powers and saber is just a lot of fun. And the game looks great too, it just sucks that it is so unpolished. I thought the story was a lot better than any of the movies of the new prequel trilogy.

So after finishing the Star Wars game I started a little bit on Afro Samurai. Played for about an hour. First impressions: the game looks amazing. I love the art style, it's sort of a cell-shaded style. Voice acting is great too so far. Combat is ok, except for the camera which is inverted and driving me crazy and I haven't found the option to change that yet.

Persona 3's been announced for the PSP (in Japan) with an optional alternate female protagonist (and matching bishonen Elizaboy) and some new features (such as full party control).

So gonna get this when it comes to the States.

They made it smaller (and now it's cheaper). Win.

The gloss is the worst part about the PS3 design so it's a smart decision in my book. It's almost impossible to keep dust and fingerprints off the damn thing.
