I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I did a search for it but didn't find anything.
I lol'ed.
EDIT: Dammit, some of it has been cut off.

So I managed to score Quantum of Solace early. I have to say I'm not disappointed. If Gears of War and Call of Duty 4 had a bastard lovechild, this game would be it.

As it is a Bond game, stealth is the best way to go. There are quicktime events for close-quarter takedowns. Dodge/disable security cameras or bring a platoon of elite guards down on you.

So I have to say, if you are a super fan of Bond AND the Call of Duty 4 engine AND the Gears of War cover system, you may just still want to rent this instead of buy. Multi is decent, but not extraordinary. Good for Achievement whoring, if that's your thing. The main story is short. A good game to save for the summer drought.

Casual's picks

Adorable Alert
Screw you guys, I love cute stuff.

The Ship Mondays
If I wasn't so utterly addicted to TF2, I would totally join you guys.

Rate it before you play it? You embarassed gamer!
Don't be a sheeptoid, basically.

Thoughts on Binonic Commando: RA from someone who never really "got" the original
It's ok to like the remake, and not the original. Just don't let the RetroForce GO! crew know where you live, ok?

Truly the GREATEST VIDEO GAME SONG EVAH! All the hiphop heads say "Hell Yeah!"
This song will never get old

Holy Shigeru! A Metroid fan's (wet) dream come true!
Gee, wonder how this made it into the picks section?

So I bought my 3 year old his first game for his B-Day. This is going to be awesome.
Quick story: I bought my nephew that Smart Cycle bike/videogame thing. He played with it for about five minutes, got bored, and played with the box from the Smart Cycle for the next five hours or so. I'm just sayin'

Instant Replay: leaderboards
Because I know how you feel Dexter. When you finally grab the top score in your Friends leaderboard, and the bastard sets some astronomically high score you'll never beat? And then you tell yourself stuff like, "well at least I'm better looking"? Yup, just like that.
