It probably doesn't help that I don't have a next-gen console, but I finally went back and finished Ratchet & Clank, and I've also been playing FFXII.

It actually bothers me that I don't like it………..I should like it………….it's my style of game and I bet I'd have a ton of fun playing it.

Alright……I'm going to rent it……….if I can get into it, I'll buy. I owe it to myself to give it a good test before I pass it up, because as you said, everyone's lovin it.

That's too bad, Russ. And by the looks of it, you're about the only one who was disappointed by the inFamous demo. It's currently scoring an 87 average from publications, and 94 from readers on Metacritic. I'm actually on my way out to pick it up now. Been a while since I've played a sandbox game, GTAIV was the last I believe, but I didn't enjoy it all that much. Crackdown was crazy fun, and inFamous is like that but with Sith lightning and force push!

Hey Matt,

While I usually agree with you…….I must disagree with your twitter about inFAMOUS.

I actually hated the demo…..I found it to be something I've seen before.

This really sucks because I was so pumped for it. It just seems like the pedestrians and buildings are all the same……..and the baddies don't change much either.

I will say, I loved climbing and jumping around……..but overall I think I'll pass.

I really hate when a game comes out that you've been waiting for and it turns from a "purchase" to a "no thanks". It's like getting dumped.

I have The Last Remnant, but I've yet to start it. I've heard so many bad things about it that I'm a bit worried. Having said that, most people were telling me Infinite Undiscovery is abysmal, but I'm really enjoying it! I'm also waiting for Tales of Vesperia. 360 is doing well for giving us some good JRPGs.

As JRPG lover I have to say Infinite Undiscovery is a breath of fresh air, much better than The Last Remnant.

Waiting for Star Ocean: The Last Hope and Tales of Vesperia!

I've been quite grateful for the slump, Now I am off work for a few months with the little fella, I won't be buying any games and I have finally started to sit down and go through my old games.

Just finished the main quest on Fallout 3, picked up most of the cheevos in skate and have started skate 2.

Must get back into GRID that game is fun!

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I recently started playing online with other people for the trophies but found I end up getting so frustrated because of the incredible LAG that it's not worth it!

I'm experiencing a mega gaming slump right now, and I'm putting it down to nothing exciting being released (with the exception of Resi 5, but I keep missing the dude I'm playing co-op with).

So I've started playing Infinite Undiscovery, a JRPG which was released last year. I know, I know, not your cuppa, so I won't talk about it But I have to say, the lack of games lately has had me itching to revisit Mass Effect to begin my third playthrough. Unfortunately I've been banging on about that game so much that a friend is desperate to borrow it. So bring on Mass Effect 2!

Oh, and Left 4 Dead is always one I'll happily return to.
