"Renegade Ops" is freaking awesome. Anyone with even the remotest of interest in top-down, dual stick shooting action needs to play it ASAP.

I played through the whole single player campaign today in a marathon run, and between the various characters and vehicles, leveling / upgrading system, and arcade style multiplier-based score system, there is plenty of incentive to play it again and again and again.

So much explosive fun, all in a slick, top notch presentation. Gorgeous graphics, pitch-perfect controls for both land and air vehicles, and the hilariously over-the-top story and comic book cutscenes rock.

This is definitely one of the best games I've played from 2011.

Got some PS3 credit. What are a few essential DLC games? I'm a big fan of platformers and tower defense games, but am willing to try new things.

Flower is one of my favorite games ever. I highly recommend it.

Flower was amazing, and I've only played the demo.

Flower shmower. Unless the flower makes people's heads explode, I have no interest!!

I've been meaning to get Noby Noby Boy for a while. Might do that tonight actually.

I thought I would love Noby Noby Boy and I didn't care for it.

WTF?!

This game freaks me out. I stopped playing it when I reached the moon.

Finished Red Faction Armageddon. Its about half as awesome as Guerrilla. Unfortunate.

Holy shit. The character designs in the FF games just keep getting worse.

What in the FUCK is up with that shirt? Why would I ever want to play a character that looks like that?

Absolutely hilarious.

Man, I know some of their characters have been purposely androgynous, but I honestly can't tell you if that's supposed to be a girl or a boy.

I got, maybe 20% through it and put it down. You would think rampant destruction would be a lot more fun, but it wasn't.

I picked up Saint's Row The Third, and so far I'm loving it. If you liked the second, you'll probably like the third. I love the fighting combos. So much fun to attack random pedestrians and beat them silly. And, like the second, the soundtrack is, overall, much better than GTA's. The electronic and modern rock stations are favorites. They've even introduced me to a band (?) that I really like. "The Do."

Getting into Skylanders has been quite the profitable enterprise. I now own all the characters released but one and have spent over $300. Which you're probably saying is insane but I have been buying up extra rare ones while out driving for my job and selling them on ebay which has covered all the $300 I spent and also made me $200 extra profit.

Yeah, what is up with those pouches? Was Rob Liefeld in charge of designing the outfits?

Fuck you Gabe. Fuck you.

The exact same thing happened to me. The game was highly addictive and I set out to do everything. I got if I remember correctly about 95% total, but I did get 100% in all of the areas. There are just a lot of boxes outside of actual areas and running around the map looking for those boxes is basically impossible. Someday in the future I will play it on the hardest mode to try and get the last achievements I don't have.

Totally back into Dark Souls. :)

Got my main up to SL100. Just did an epic Anor Londo run with two summoned phantoms - we totally destroyed. And I've been spending lots of time fighting the Forest Bros. I'm definitely getting the hang of PVP now.

You are right. There are some boxes that don't really belong to any place on the map. Also, best game explosions ever!!

Man can you ever rack up the souls in PVP. Last night at one point I have over 500k. Crazy.
