So, it's been eerily quiet here on the games division and I can only take some of the blame. Brendan's getting married, Susan and I have been smoking GTA IV like it's crack (sorry Dad... too soon?), and I don't think that Matt has an excuse. Mass Effect? That was sooo 4 months ago.
Early thoughts on GTA IV - Everyone and their mother will tell you how awesome GTA IV is and I agree but I did want to mention a few things that I dislike so far. No spoilers here. And please don't hate me.
1) Walking - the walking movement is a little weird. With such a great game why is turning around so hard? I keep turning into the railways and doors. Oh, and how hard is it to go up a ladder? Turns out it's pretty hard.
2) Driving. It's really hard. It took me a while to beat the first race which made me very angry!
3) The map. I use it often but I have to go through a few steps to get to it. In Bully, created by Rockstar, your map can be easily brought up by pressing the select button. Also, zooming in on the map is annoyingly slow. Anyone else?
4) Failing a mission - I do like when you fail you can go to again quickly but why do so many mission start out with you driving 5 minutes to get to the main story. When you fail you have to re-drive and re-drive. Small complaint.Now, I know I am complaining about a great game but I thought I would just bring it up. Happy gaming and let's go with the posts!

I live in a continuous time flux: I'm 4 months behind on everything.
My fake excuse for not writing involves exciting hookers, exotic locals, and copious drug use!
My real excuse is a laborious independent study program I've chosen to shackle myself with.
You choose the excuse that works best for you!
I'm interactive, like a game!
That's fine. I would have also accepted
1) DLC "Bringing Down the Sky"
2) I'm preggers
3) I died
