About Me: Token Australian

I wasn't going to buy Red Dead Redemption after GTA IV disappointed and enraged me, but so far this is a superior game. But then, I did like GTA IV at first, too, so I'm purposefully taking my time with this one, not rushing through the missions, and hoping that if I don't over do it, I'll still enjoy it. I don't get much time to play games now, anyway, so my progress is mainly limited to weekends. I loved getting an achievement for placing a tied up woman on the railway tracks and waiting for the train to splatter her blood ever. I think I would have done that without an achievement... because I really am dastardly, and I did the appropriate "Mwahahahahahaha!" as it happened. It did take quite a bit of work, though.

But there's not much else to say about the game. It strips RPGs down to its very core. Battle/Development and Story. No more talking to NPCs. Pretty much every conversation in the game you're meant to have.

Bought a 250GB PS3 with Heavy Rain today.

So, I have a 360, PS3, Wii, PSP and DS... well, no DSi, which is the new thing at the moment. But an old chunky DS is enough for me.

Got past the Eden Prime bit and I'm enjoying it again, like I used to. Need to get me some achievements.

It was a good game, but Mass Effect 2 has improved on it so much that it's impossible to go back. This game needs a remake. Because it still has a fine story. It just needs ME2's combat.

Got glasses. My eyes must have been on the way out for quite some time. Lately, it's been getting even harder to read (both books and on the PC). So. Issue solved.

Sorry Venter. Guess it was my vision that was to blame last Team Tournament.
