    Since I have school in 3hrs. I can't say how well the game is yet cause I have yet to play. But seeing as how the PS3 version for Dante's Inferno gets a bunch of PS3 exclusive stuff, I'll enjoy it. Planning on beating Dante's first, so that I can take my time with Bioshock and really enjoy it.

    I need a damn phonograph to play my Bioshock 1 orchestral score vinyl, but totally worth it. For now, I'll listen to Bioshock 2 CD.

    I've logged about 4 hours in Bioshock 2 so far, and I love it. The action seems a lot more fast paced, mainly because you're constantly taking on 5 or 6 Splicers at one time, making it difficult despite how powerful you are. And Big Daddy battles, at least now, are easier than previously, at least with good strategy. I got smoked by my first Big Daddy battle, but in my 2nd one, I laid about 7 or 8 trap rivets that all hit him, I then used Winter Blast to freeze him repeatedly while drilling him or shotgunning him while he was frozen. I didn't even get touched.

    As it is though, the game is fantastic despite having such huge shoes to fill. I can tell I'm going to enjoy this one all the way through. The story is great, the action is far better now that you can duel wield plasmids and guns, and it's just a great game. Multiplayer is also fun, I should add.

    Bioshock 1 vs. Big Daddies.

    Proximity Mine the shit out of something that is explosive, then telekinesis that bitch over!

    Anyhow, I just logged 3 and a half hrs on Dante's Inferno, and thus far, I love it. It's a very dark tale, very gruesome, very disturbing, but you just can't help but keep watching and playing and wanting to find out more.

    Granted, for those of you who will play it, you WILL have a David Bowie moment. And if you get there, and you don't get the reference. Slap yourself.

    The more I play Bioshock 2, the more I like it. The story just gets better, the action is still incredibly fun, and Big Daddy and Big Sister battles get more entertaining as you get more powers and new ways to do things. I've also been able to dig my teeth in to about 5 hours of online and I can say that it's an absolute blast. It probably won't replace COD or Halo for you, but it's still fun and a great change of pace.

    Just finished Dante's Inferno.

    It felt like an awesome roller coaster ride, in that once the adrenaline starts, it hardly stops at all, except to load you up for a bigger drop, metaphorically. It was fun and straight out all action. And since I attended a Christian school for 2yrs of Junior High, I recognize alot of the Bible references, and just studying history in general, you'll recognize alot of the people in that game or know the reference. Pretty damn good. Now I'm gonna achievement hunt a little bit, cause with relative ease, I can get all but 1 achievement, not counting the big cheese (platinum for PS3).

    Now...Bioshock 2, HERE I COME!

    I've played almost 24-hours of Mass Effect 2 and SPOILER? I haven't even fully assembled my crew.

    The game is absolutely fantastic. The action is somehow addictive. I thought I would get bored of the constant run for cover and seemingly basic shooting system but with the addition of the powers it's superb.

    The character development is also a spectacle. The plot is sex and I haven't even finished the game.

    You won't fully assemble your crew until one of the final missions. Just make sure you do all the loyalty missions. For the most part, they're all really good and you get a great sense of the characters' past.

    Yeah, I'm covering everything. I have a good guy (main character) and when I get bored of him I switch to my evil guy. I try to advance more in the story with my main character and just play catch-up with the evil guy.

    I ended up being about 3/4 Paragon and 2/3 Renegade in my game. I tried hard to be one way or the other, but some things were hard to pass up, specifically lot of Renegade moments where you get to interrupt conversations or do something random. But I can't wait to play through the game again and actually pick a side instead of being so torn in between.

    Yeah, I've been pretty strict with my choices so far. I try not to do the interactive cut scenes if it adds Renegade points to my Paragon guy.

    I did basically every single one of those unless it was going to interfere with a loyalty mission and cause that person to not become loyal. Some of them are awesome. One of the scenes on Liara's planet, you kick some dude out a window after he gives your needed info, lol.

    Yup, that one was awesome as well. My personal favorite was on the mission to get Archangel (I won't say his real name for those who haven't played) and you stabbed the dude in the back that was fixing that ship. I thought that was pretty epic.

    I just finished Bioshock 2 today. Phenomenal game, the last few hours are incredibly intense and there's some crazy plot twists along the way. Definitely a must buy for any fan of video games.

    Dante's Inferno... What a joke. This game not only completely copies God of War, but it's based on some old ass poem from like fucking B.C. or some shit. THOUSANDS of years ago. Really? Come on. These guys who made this game not only lack creativity for their story, but for their gameplay as well. I felt like I was playing a shitty watered-down God of War game when I tried out the demo. Haha, for anyone that owns the game, have you ever just stood still and noticed that weirdo's pose? Trying to look all tough and shit? Hmm... Someone really admires Kratos.

    And what's up with all the tits? Are they really trying to impress us or something? Okay, maybe use it once, but for EVERY FUCKING FEMALE ENEMY? That's not cool. Worst of all, what's up with finishing off enemies the style that God of War has always had? Which is, pressing a certain button that appears on top of the battered enemy. Come on. Then you have Dante getting on top of this big ass bull thing and have you take full control of the bull to fight off your enemies. Hasn't Kratos done something similar like that with Titans? Wasn't Kratos shown doing that in a trailer a year before Dante's Inferno came out? I think so.

    LMFAO, I just couldn't help but post this. I got it straight out of YouTube. Some chick has a huge monster cock that moves around after coming out of her vagina.

    Honestly, I don't mind games that somewhat copy others. For example, games like Saints Row and True Crime to Grand Theft Auto. But this Dante's Inferno game was just straight up sad. This was just ridiculous.
