I agree with most of the stuff you say though, but I think its probably a personal preference type of thing. I can't wait to try out Farcry 2. Also Motorstorm 2 got lost in the mail, so I have to wait another week, but I should have Dead Space and COD 5 soon, maybe tomorrow.

The game was severely overrated. SEVERELY. Josh just got me a copy of the Lost videogame that came out a couple years ago, and I have to say I'm more excited to play that than I ever was to boot up Prince to run along the same wall 600 times. Just to see what convoluted things ign (I will never capitalize that shit) had to say about prince, I went on there last night. It was nominated for 360 game of the year!!! It's pretty frustrating to see my personal favorite game in years (Gears of War 2) sitting in the rejects' pile next to that turd. Woof.

Only have til tomorrow though, so I don't know how far I'll get. Might just try to get some more achievements in it if possible. ALSO, Far Cry 2 is spectacular. Great graphics. Great missions. Great voice acting. Great weapons. Incredible weathering effects. Plus starting a wildfire is maybe the best thing ever. I’ll try my best to get through it.

I also absolutely HATED those plates. They do vary..there are 4 types, but the flying ones and the running ones are really crappy (you unlock a new one each time you activate one of the 4 plates at the temple). If you can, try and finish it, I found my impressions of the game changed alot once I finished the game. I don't know if you have confronted all of the 4 subbosses yet..my favorite one is the Hunter though.

It's really starting to piss me off. The voice acting gets so damn repetitive, and the little 15 seconds cutscenes you activate by clicking on the bitch are so retarded. Plus the entire game is pretty much just climbing or running on the same 4 textures. And those plate things? Do they act differently? And the fact that you can't die makes the game so unexciting because there aren't risks for anything. Same deal for Fable 2. I mean, don't get me wrong, running along the ceiling for the first time is pretty sweet. But when I had to do it for the 7th time in 3 minutes, it becomes a nuisance. This is a game that I would've rather just played for an hour in Best Buy and been done with it. I retract my previous statements regarding how much I like this game.
