I haven't blogged in a while, but there's a good reason for it. I've had nothing to play as of recently. I've pretty much been waiting for the later part of October for the release of Fallout 3 and Fable 2 to consume the entirety of my life.
I've recently played Star Wars: Force Unleashed and mostly liked all 5-7 hours of gameplay. There were a lot of small bugs and clipping issues that didn't bother me, but could've definitely used some polish (not the hot dog looking thing). The story was cool considering you do set up the 4th movie hypothetically. I'll probably play it a couple more times to grab some more holocrons, but I'm not gonna play through it again to get the extra achievements.
I played Rock Band 2 with a couple friends and didn't play nearly enough of it to fully grasp how much more epic it is compared to the first one. Also, no fail mode is nice, but if the person that is going to fail can't hit a note to save her life, you've pretty much ruined the song already and it's no longer fun to listen to it.
BTW, retroforceGO! is great. Giant bombcast is great. Haven't listened to Podcastle or Podtoid for a long time, and I apologize for that. Maybe I'm just a consumer whore for podcasts.
The last "true" game I bought was Metal Gear Solid 4. I bought some games off the PSN store, but I kinda got bored of them. I'm glad my video gaming drought is finally over when I pick up Fable 2, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, and Guitar Hero: World Tour.
ehh there’s always this "quiet before the storm" around September, I fill those with PSN/XBL arcade games. Then for the last half of the year we get ambushed by games and im eating soup-in-a-cup just to get them all
Ah, for being cut off from new games you have a mighty high gamer score. My lack of new games to play comes from the fact I am a poor high school student. Woe is me.
No such thing as a video game drought for me. I'm constantly buying older games, trying to obtain every game of interest for every system that I have. I own so many games including many that I haven't played yet. I buy too many games...
I've been cut off from almost everything, only things I've been able to play in the past weeks are a couple of RB2 songs everynow and then (with or without friends), some DS harvest moon and sometimes I can manage to get a game or two of Multiwinia with Rockvillian.

I would post my thoughts but STRIFE stole the words right out of my mouth.
I've been playing the shit out of the first two fallouts in anticipation of the third.
