So how was AC3. Looking at Black Flag has me pretty excited and I haven't played a game in the series since II.

Some people disagree but gameplay-wise it's the best imo. Running through trees and the new ways to assassinate people and the new stealth elements and the action set-pieces and the ship levels, it's all wonderful. The story is incredibly uneven and has some major issues though.

The ship stuff is what i'm most interested in.

Should I pick up Mortal Kombat or Red Dead Redemption

IF you've never played RDR, pick it up. It is seriously one of the best games of this generation.

RDR easily. I recommended getting the GOTY edition so you get Undead Nightmare.

Sony provides warrenty for a year when you buy a new PS3. http://us.playstation.com/support/warranties/ps3/index.htm

Well its $15 on Xbox Live and even when factoring in the $10 for Undead nightmare its about $3-$5 cheaper than anywhere else I've seen.

I'd probably love Red Dead Redemption if I was younger. It's like the Cowboy game I used to want back then. Can't say I'd really care about it now, though. The very thought of playing a game like RDR nearly puts me to sleep.

Spec Ops: The Line is this weeks PS+ game in the US. I have have been wanting to check this game out.

I got red dead this year, actually kind of cool. For 20$ you cant go wrong

I really need to give Read Dead Redemption a go. I'm not a big fan of, well... much anything "western," but I still think that I'd really enjoy it nonetheless. I've played a bit of it's online multiplayer, but not the main campaign.

I wasn't a fan of the multiplayer but LOVED the campaign. I played the whole thing through twice and it's pretty long if you are like me and do everything there is to do. I can spend an hour or two just hunting wildlife. I love the look of the game the sky at night and the water in certain spots is just awesome.

In other news I finished Spec Ops: The Line and really enjoyed it.

Rogue Warrior is amazing. Truly a classic. I consider it art.

Hurry up and finish downloading Ni No Kuni. Jeez.

The Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC was great. It's easily the best DLC available for the game.

It took me all night to download Ni No Kuni!

It's a huge download. Definitely been worth it though. Its something special.

It's also one of the very few games that doesn't stop getting better.

That's what I like to hear!

So. Um. That God of War Ascension game thing!

Is most disappointing game this generation!

Hooray for a complete lack of progress!
