And furthermore, the transformation elements aren't novelties - they are required to survive in the game, and from what I've seen worked in really well. There was a part where a guy was in car mode, sped down a roadway to bridge the distance between enemies, transform into a robot to blast them, back to a car to speed to safety, then back to robot to finish the rest off. There are actual tactical elements to the transforming, which sounds pretty cool.

Apparently the multi-player is solid as well. IGN for one gave it a glowing review. Looked pretty cool.

The gameplay is actually closer to "Left 4 Dead".

Kind of like a blend of "Left 4 Dead" structure and "Gears of War" gameplay, except there's no reliance on cover.

The game is divided into 20 chapters, each lasting about an hour and each playable by up to three people. The first 10 chapters chronicle the Decepticons' side of the war, and the last 10 are the Autobots.

Plus, the story is actually really cool. And Hasbro acknowledges it as official Transformers canon.

In the very first chapter, you learn how Megatron got his tank powers, and how Starscream became one of Megatron's soldiers.

Played about an hour of Texas Hold'Em in RDR last night. Lost the bank, reloaded my last save, and had all my money back. Heehee...

When you play card games or liars dice, you only stand to lose the entry fee for the round. First time I played, I thought it was my whole bank roll.

No, it was my whole bank roll. I played recklessly and re-upped my chips a couple times. At one point I wanted my character to stand up and accuse another of cheating, but it wouldn't let me, so I just stood up and threatened him with my gun. Within seconds the other two players had their guns aimed at my head. That's when I walked away and reloaded my save. :D

I found out that you can make a gang ride into Armadillo if you attack the Top-Hatted thugs in the Salloon. Once you take out the gang, you get 100 points of honor. So much fun.

Weird, I tried recreating this last night, but it wouldn't happen. So strange that it seemed to work perfectly just a few nights ago...

Wow, that's ... very pretty. PC only, I take it?

One of the most impressive demonstrations at E3 2010 wasn't a game, and wasn't the 3DS (though that was pretty neat.) It was actually a little tech demo tucked away in the back of one of the halls that could completely change the way we see characters in games.

Picked up Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistance today for $20, both discs and no case. Good deal I think, considering it's apparently very rare compared to Snake Eater. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I also started a Goozex account today and put the following games on my "hold requests", which means eventually I can decide which games (typically older games are 100-300 credits) I want when I recieve credits for the games I trade in:

Resident Evil 4 (not in hold section - I want to try to pick this up soon)
Clock Tower 3
Deus Ex: The Conspiracy
Downhill Domination
Far Cry Instincts
Jade Empire (Limited Edition)
Jet Set Radio Future
Kingdom Hearts
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Raw Danger
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus
SSX 3
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

Thoughts on any of these games? Recommendations for PS3/Xbox 360/Xbox 360 compatible Xbox games/PS2 games?

Dead & Messed Up

Super Metroid. I've had you for over fifteen years. I've grown to love your hidden nooks, your secret crevices. The familiarity has only furthered how deeply I've explored you. Each time I come to you, I've been more thorough, pushing further and further inside you, as gentle as the first time I laid eyes on you.

But tonight, when I finally got 100% completion in under three hours, I straight-up FUCKED you.

BAM.

So I burned myself out on Red Dead Redemption after I completed the Mexican campaign. Is it worth completing?

I was getting a bit tired of it, but the Great Plains are pretty, and there are herd(s) of buffalo. And I hear there are grizzlies in the mountains.

These steam sales are incredible.... and devastating at the same time. :frustrated:
