Fallout = the bastard child of Oblivion, Bioshock, and something like Deus Ex. Especially the Oblivion part. Its quite obvious, playing the game, that this was built on the same exact framework that they used with oblivion. Even the item messages are the same. But its pretty fucking good. Tit would like this.

I'll give it a shot sometime. Would it be smrt to check out the first 2 games in the series first?

From everything I hear its not a prerequisite type of thing. I haven't.

I'd like to myself about the greatness of Blitz II. Having played through the entire campaign, now, I can say without reservation that it kicks ass. In one sequence you are playing for a prison team and your opponent's QB is a guy called QB'd by Mike Mexico. If you injure him, you get an achievement called Pit Bull's Revenge. Good times.

This looks pretty kickass even tho it's a baseball game. Too bad it's PS3 only. So does the 360 game suck compared to this?

The Show is supposed to be the best baseball game out there. The 2k games vary from year to year. I heard last year's sucked balls, but this year's is a lot better, just not as good as The Show.

Long but interesting read on the similarity between cocaine and video game addiction.

This makes me want to read more of Tom Bissell. His book coming out in June looks intriguing. http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Lives-Video ... 0307378705
