It's rumored there will be a GTA sale on the PSN next week. Rumored by who? Me. I read it on the official blog. They listed several game franchises that would go on sale soon. Borderlands was this week and all the BL games went one sale, so next week GTA should do the same.

Finished Bioshock Infinite on Tuesday. Man, that ending was all sorts of insane. The final revelation is one that I saw coming a few minutes ahead of time, but pretty much EVERYTHING before that spanned the spectrum of WTF.

I'm super jealous of PS3ers anyway, seeing as how Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories just released. If those are on sale (I think they are only $10 anyway), then that's a great deal.

Looking forward to playing it. Whole game looks pretty WTF. Are there alternate endings in this one?

Steam sale last year destroyed the impact of any sale ever now. I managed to pick up the whole series (1-4, vice city and san andreas) for £10. It was beautiful!

Ah, my list of games played recently... it's a biggie, I've played them all before.

Gears Of War 3 - Nothing beats chainsawing a dude in half and yelling at strangers online to relieve stress...
RB3 - This one was a given. Great game!
GH5 - Hate on the series all you want. This was a fantastic game, and the only one in the series I really enjoyed. I even liked the setlist, which was a huge downer for most fans.
Simcity - Buggy, difficult to play, fustrating, broken... Yet I'v managed to sink 40 hours into it...

And my list of games I need to start/finish.

Far Cry 3 - Pretty far in, but a lot to do.
Tomb Raider - It glitched. Can't proceed for now.
Hitman Absolution - Still in it's original packaging.
Bioshock 1/2 dual pack - Still in it's original packaging.
Ni No Kuni - Need free time to bust out some long play sessions.
Halo 4 - Has laid dormant on my shelf for the last few months...

Just finished Bioshock 1. Debating going and getting Infinite tomorrow on my day off.

You don't choose your own ending in this one, no.

Grabbed a few games from GameStop recently. They have a decent sale going on. 50% off select used games.

I got GH:WT. Boy is that game just terrible. I picked it up mostly for Hotel California. It's amazing how many features RB added and how GH just ignored them. And it's simple things too. I don't see how this game was even competition for RB2. I do have to say that I liked the addition of the open bass notes and the strum sustains (even if the latter can be awkward to hit).

I also picked up Power Gig. Holy cow. This game. First of all I love how they don't even acknowledge that the bass exists. I played through a bit of the story and wow is it bad. The notes coming down makes them harder to hit than they should be and tires out my eyes after 5 or so songs. My biggest complaint though is the lack of Wonderful Tonight. Why even bother with Eric Clapton if you aren't going to get Wonderful Tonight?

The other games I picked up were Brutal Legends, which I haven't had the chance to play yet, and America's Test Kitchen, which isn't really a game as much as a digital cookbook.

Just finished Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. 26ish hours. Not bad for $12.

I still don't know what the bad guys were trying to do. It seemed like they were trying to activate the Eclipse Tower and then after they do that it seems they are trying to get you to activate the Apollo Lens, which deactivates the Eclipse Tower. After you do that they just go "Oh! We lost!". I must have missed something.

Anyway, things I liked:
The definitions in the dialog. Most of the proper nouns in the text were clickable and told you what they are. Really useful for when you're only half paying attention and start losing track.
New summons are always good.
The back up party.
Having the map open at all times. Most every DS game has this anyway but I still like it.

This I didn't like:
Choosing an emotion every once in a while during a cutscene. They give 4 options and none of them ever make sense in the situations you're in. I always felt like I picked the wrong one.
The actual story, like I already said, didn't make much sense.
The very long winded dialog. They explain things sometime 3 times in the same cut scene. And so very often a character would be telling a story or something and another would pop up just to say something like "then what happened!". If you shut up they will tell you!
It was a bit easy. The only hard time I had was the final battle and that's only because it's a two parter and I had exhausted most of my summons by the time I got to the second part.

All in all though I really did enjoy it. But I only recommend it if you have played the first 2 games in the series. They reference them constantly.

Got Bioshock Infinite and am loving it so far. Even before the shooting started, I was blown away several times. Stoked to play more, especially since I hear there are several twists ahead.
