Bioshock is so sick. It's a little slow to start as they're kinda introducing you into the world of Rapture. But the story is sooooo good so far. Left 4 Dead is just multiplayer and gets old somewhat quickly (good rental/gamefly game). Batman is pretty fun from the slightly limited time I'd played it. I own Borderlands and it's def fun, but I got tired of it after I hit like level 35~ as it's just the same type of quests. It's best to play with a friend and/or online. Playing by yourself might result in broken controllers as it's a pretty tough game w/only one person and at some points even two people.

Bioshock is definitely the way to go if you want story.

Bioshock was pretty interesting. The first one is great for story, the second one's story sucked imo. They just needed an excuse to give you another game.

I would go for Arkham. The story is pretty good, it's Batman ldo. I ended up putting in the time to get every single extra just because it was a damn blast trying to find out how to reach all the secret areas.

I didn't care much for Fallout 3. I loved Oblivion, and I generally tent towards the medieval feel. Fallout 3's setting was just too grey for me to get in to much. And besides, Fallout 3/Oblivion aren't really STORY driven. It's more like you can do anything you want wherever you want, and if you want to follow the MAIN story line you can, but the game will end rather quickly. I sunk about 110 hours in to Oblivion and never even finished the main story line. You just advance the main story by about 5 hours and then the whole world opens up to you.

Saw a really scathing review of DC univ. online at gamespy. Are they still a relevant site in the gaming community?

When I played Bioshock I skipped every cut scene, then at the end I was wondering why I was [end spoilers kind of]

Spoiler:
beating some guy to death with a golf club


and I regretted it.

Easy game but really fun.

Gospy,

You should stick to games like Arkham. At least when you're beating up on the Joker at the end you won't be wondering why.

I already posted this on a video game forum but was hoping someone here might have experience with this.....

I was hoping someone could help me answer this question. I purchased Madden 2011 for Wii from the EA Store. They sent me a copy listed as Madden NFL (Bilingual) Wii. The information on the game case is in English and French. Is it standard to send bilingual copies?

The game is still in the packaging and I want to list it on Ebay. Can I be confident that the winner of the auction will be able to play in English only....the same version they would buy in stores in the US? Does anyone have any experience with bilingual Wii games?

FWIW...i typed in the upc on ebay and it's the same as the normal game.


Here is my chat log with EA LIVE chat....(still not 100% on it being like a normal copy)

"Hi, my name is BARTON. How may I help you?
xxxxxxx: Hi, I purchased a copy of Madden 11 for the Wii from EA. It's listed as a bilingual copy (english and french i think). will the game play like a normal copy bought from a store in the United States...or will every aspect of the game be displayed in both languages?
BARTON: In the game you will be able to play in both language, if you wish to play in English then you can play.
xxxxxxx: Ok...so they could play it in English only...just like a normal copy for the United States?
xxxxxxx: That's my only question
BARTON: Okay
BARTON: Thank you for contacting us at Electronic Arts today.
BARTON: Bye and take care.

BARTON: Have a wonderful day."

Yep. All packaging in Canada requires that it be written in both languages. The game itself will be english.

Just to be clear, are you asking if the game will play in both languages AT THE SAME TIME? ( That's what I get from your chat log )

Does anyone want to gamble on Madden 11 and/or NBA 2k11? I just like to gamble. My record in Madden online is like 27/30 or something bad.

I cannot justify my fishiness without coming off sort of like a douchebag. I play poker for a living, do quite well, and just like to bet money on competitive stuff when I'm bored. All of my poker playing friends who play these games have PS3 sadly.

Yes...

I live in the United States and have never seen a game listed as "bilingual" on my shipping receipt (from Electronic Arts). I am selling the game on ebay and was concerned that the menus would be displayed in both languages at the same time.

Who in the world would make a game that displays two languages at the same time?

Do you think Canadians are some kind of freaks that need two languages to understand something?

Here in Europe we get 5 or 7 language games. Imagine Reading menus 7 times

Anyway, to answer your question: you get a selection screen before the main menu and you can choose the language you want.

Besides that, Stephen Toulouse, director of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live, has been tweeting in response to the incident. Twice in response to two different inquiries, he said: "I confirmed that achievements were illegitimately modified on the account and contacted the customer directly w/ specifics." In response to the fact that the player was autistic, he tweeted: "We had no idea [he was autistic]. I won't be providing any more detail, the only person who gets the proof is the mom." He also stated that "We confirmed there were cheated achievements and gave the parent the details. This wasnt a "he played too good" situation at all."

Just providing this info to give at least part of the "other side of the story".
Seems fair from MS, kid shouldn't get a free pass just cause he's autistic

When I was in Kosovo my squad had a serbian translator. He was pretty cool.

I tried to learn a bunch from him so I know a few things.

I also know a bit of Albanian.

The whole thing was a joke about the time I was called a "romanian" instead of roman.

I know 3 languages perfectly ( german, italian and english ) and I'm very "meh" in french and latin. As an italian, I also understand basic spanish, but suck at speaking it.
