Kinda like how I always think fighters can NOT possibly come out to Eye of the Tiger, but then someone walks out to it at least twice a year.

BI was RIDONCULOUS... That was such a great game. I missed out on some of the storyline because I missed voxaphones, but it was still immersive enough that the wife and I have still been debating it, along with others we know that have played it. We could probably do a "Spoilerific Bioshock Infinite Discussion Thread" and get all quantum meta physical/time travelly if enough folks play it.

Picked up Hitman: Absolution during the summer sale. Haven't touched a Hitman game in a long time, but this hooked me pretty fast... There is something ridiculously satisfying about the new "contracts" mode (where, say, I start a level, pick victims/targets I come accross, and try to kill them in a creative way and then post it for others to try). I call it "reverse Clue" where, instead of solving the "COL Mustard, in the conservatory, with the pipe wrench" of it, you are COMMITING the murder "disguised as a waiter, with a bust of Shakespeare, in a dark alley" or "via an accident" while "dressed as a chicken" and "without being seen."

Does nobody play Diablo 3 anymore? New patch coming soon looks promising.

Sadly I was never into Star Wars: Battlefront 2 because much like I judge a mexican restaurant by its carne asada burrito...if a Star Wars game doesn't have legit lightsaber action I can't fucks with it. This will change if Battlefront 3 comes to fruition. Lets just hope it gets green lit for next gen.

Could have sworn I played as Mace Windu in BF2, charging around slashing folks similar to the dudes in the vid. That may have been a cheat, though, as I seem to recall him auto-deflecting everything short of heavy cannon fire from walkers.
