Got dragged down in the middle but it was a fantastic game.
It's easily up there, but my favorite must be Arkham Asylum, Mass Effect or Bioshock.

I never played through the mexico part, that shit just made me stop completely and haven't felt like going back to it since.
Liked MGS4 a lot, just can't go back to it at all. Tried but... No. Just no. I have already watched these 30 min cutscenes.
From the very opening up until just before you start meeting West Dickens, Seth, Irish (so the opening missions with McFarlane and the Marshal) its pretty much the best game ever made. Then Mexico lags, but the endgame goes back to best game ever made territory (when you meet Ross). Story wise that's my view.
Otherwise, its just an incredible atmosphere, environment, design, etc. I love the Old West though.
Fuck man, crossing the border into Mexico on your horse with that song playing is one of my favourite moments in gaming.

Yeah that was great. But it's in Mexico it suddenly gets really shitty.
And they could never, even put together, be as big a cockend as Hazard is on his own.
It's definitely got 'ending of the generation' locked up. I haven't received such a cathartic reaction from a game as when
John's son, or in fact I, avenged his death by killing the agent whilst he was fishing. And all his family too. Payback.
Is it just me or does Marin look like a blonde Messi haha?
Welcome to 2007.
Only 2 direct CL teams and one to play-off from the Serie A. (3 teams)
HOLY SHIT I thought two went to play off. Did Udinese come third last year?!
Wait hold on. Napoli, Udinese, Milan and Inter. That's four. Is it not four this year?

I've met and spoken to Paul Scholes, which was a complete and total dream come true since he's my favourite all time player. I also met and spoke to Mario Balotelli a few months ago.
Udinese was fourth last year.
Was 4 until now. Now Bundesliga will have 4 (3 direct, one playoffs) and Serie will have 3 (2 direct, one playoffs).
From bundesliga for next season: Dortmund, Bayern, Schalke 04... and Gladbach to playoffs.

I need to slim down so I can look as slick as Peo and Di Matteo do in the black suit, black tie ensemble.

You had an actual conversation with Balotelli?
RDR spoilers:
I felt like they should have had his old gang members feature a lot more, It felt like the last was barely shown at all.
Did anyone see this on Soccer AM on Saturday? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z_QTYxbNgs
Yeah, if more focus had been on Bill and Dutch rather than air time for the civil war, Seth and Irish and stuff, it would have been perfect. The first few hours when you're doing stuff on Bonnie's ranch, clearing out the camp with the Marshal... and then from when Williamson is killed and you go back to Blackwater and Dutch is robbing the bank etc. etc., that is literally the best game I've ever played. There's just a large part in the middle that stops it from being that.

Yep. In a restaurant called "Zouks". He loves it, is there at least one night a week. It's where he had that infamous rolling pin fight.
I only spoke to him very briefly, it was the weekend after he scored the goal with his shoulder. Told him I loved his goal and acted it out. He just laughed. Loads of people started to come up to meet him so he went outside to smoke a cig :lol
Lots of people run into Mario in Manchester, it seems he's always about.

BTW guys, not sure if it was posted here but Hazard has said tonight that he has decided he will play in England next year.
City will outbid everyone if they want him.

Not surprised, probably trying to find ways to get into the headlines.
I like Balotelli for the entertainment factor, but it annoys me that he has talent but doesn't seem to try hard(maybe it just seems like that to me)

Yeah I'm pretty sure he will head to City.

Yeah, I never really got all the vitriol aimed towards it either. I really need to get around to playing it one day. It's sitting on my shelf next to the HD Collection..
Congrats to Porto!
It just seems like he's playing up a bidding war.
That guy annoys me. You're making a mistake if you tell him PW was a good bit of campy/ridiculous fun, or suggest MGS2, in its absurdity was a great experience. His word is fact, his opinion is correct, and if you disagree, you are an idiot.
RDR is probably game of gen(it or Portal 2) and one of the best of all time.

I sense he is quite happy to play for one of several teams. Just City will offer both him and Lille the best financial package so it makes sense for him to end up there.
Onyewu, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Didn't do much for Newcastle.
:lol
I've only ever met Robbie Earle and Warren Barton. Just said hi to the former and proceeded to talk to Warren cos obviously he's a Newcastle legend. Nice guy. I think Robbie was annoyed I ignored him the whole time.
We'll know in less than 24 hours. Quite excited. If City win then I expect a baby boom around the country, well, apart from down south.
Like a boss. Both of you.

Significant knee injuries have kept him from playing a full season for a long time now. Always physical though and was doing quite well for Sporting recently(until another injury =\) if I recall from the Sporting supporters in this thread.
I'm so excited! With Newcastle & QPR losing this weekend, Tomorrow could decide it all.
List:
5. Arkham Asylum
4. Lost and the Damned
3. Metal Gear Solid 4 (yeah come at me
2. Dead Space
1. Hitman: Blood Money (technicallity it's a port but I played it on 360 and it is epic)
Honourable mentions: uncharted series, heavy rain, red dead, Arkham city, portal, l4d, gears of war series and tomb raider underworld (I really dug this)
Bonus Q: top 5 downloadable games?
Great to see the Hitman love. Quite right.
Anyway the correct list is (console games, no particular order)
Hitman : Bloody Money
Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 1
Just Cause 2
SkyRim
Saints Row 1
You are welcome

I want Yaya to do well, other than that, I will just enjoy the match. The importance of this game is huge(as important as our game against Madrid, it decided the league). Same situation here imo.
It's a title decider for United, but not for City. Even if City win they've still got a hell of a job on their hands beating Newcastle. And I can see QPR fighting for their life on the final weekend too.
I think the city team will be:
Hart, Richards, kompany, lescott, clichy, Barry, yaya, Nasri, Silva, Tevez, aguero.
United
Rafael, Evans, rio, evra, Valencia/nani, carrick, scholes, young, Rooney, welbeck.
Hopefully it's a good game, I can see us sitting back and countering. Predicting a 1-1 draw.

Same here. Great player but the price tag will be very high and we have plenty of players that play his position.
Shinji plz.
