Oh yeah, Atlus has been ninja re-releasing the PS2 games every now and then.

Beat Space Channel 5 part 2 yesterday. It was pretty darn amazing. I love flashy over the top 60s style sexy fun.

Picked up Far Cry 3. It's a blast so far, though I've barely gotten into the meat of it yet. One thing you have to to is hunt animal skins to craft new equipment so you can hold more gear. Kind of like assassin's creed 3, except the predators are a great deal more dangerous, and the crafting is done in a menu wherever you are. Anyway, to get the final weapon holster you need shark skin... and weapons don't work in water... and you're crazy if you swim near a bull shark anyway. My jet ski worked pretty well, though. It'll be a new reality show on whatever The History Channel has become. Jet Ski Shark Hunters.

I'm putting in an official request. Would someone in the U.S. be kind enough to buy me Left 4 Dead 2 on steam so I can get the uncensored version. I'm only asking now because it's at a discount.

[ThePaul]

How did they censor it

[Fixxxer 117]

Blood and gore: Virtually no blood is found after killing the Infected and is impossible to remove any body parts from using weapons on them. Despite this, achievements for dismemberment were still included and can be awarded in the Australian version

Fire and Explosive Effects: Infected can no longer be set on fire and no damage is visible when hit with Explosive Ammo or the Pipe Bomb. Infected that the game registers as having been set on fire act in the same way as they would if on fire except that no fire is visible.

Bodies: After dying, the Infected disappear, often before they even hit the ground

Infected: The Riot Infected is removed from the game, because it "encourages violence against official authority". In the Australian version, the Riot Infected was eventually put back in with minor alterations to remove any connection to official authorities

Taken straight from the game wiki.

Yeah, I started looking it up as soon as I posted it. Also made sure it actually works that way. I'll hook you up, bro.

[Fixxxer 117]

Thanks, you're the best.

Aww... I was gonna make that Fixie's Christmas present. Oh well, I can always creep on his wish list again.

Anyway, I tried downloading L4D2 to play with friends last night, but that was highly unsuccessful. Instead, I played Valkyria Chronicles and was I ever impressed. Managing the units might become kind of a chore, but since each character that I could possibly recruit has their own unique design and backstory, I think it'll be fun. The different classes seem pretty cool and since I haven't gotten into a really big battle yet, I think I'll enjoy finding out how best to manage them now that I'm controlling a squad of 20 rather than a ragtag village patrol group. Also, the anti-tank troops are called lancers because their weapons are shaped like medieval lances.
Too awesome!

Hey guys, Been a while. Been busy, or otherwise predisposed to really post on the forum. Always check in every few days though to see what's up. Anyway, just wanted to share my Game of The Year list here. Spent several hours writing it this morning. So check it out if you want!
