The Return of Red

Sorry that it's been awhile since the last post. I haven't been able to catch my breath. I returned from Korea, partied every night at my house, moved to Berkeley, and finally school has just started. On top of this, Bioshock has taken over my life.

I can't express how long it's been since a game has satisfied me like this. Guitar Hero 2 was fun for sure but lacks depth, Forza 2 got old pretty fast after making my awesome Arcade Fire livery.But in the end, I was truly waiting for this (and Halo 3, of course). It's an atmospherically stunning game that has gameplay that doesn't get old one bit. System Shock 2 was incredible, but Bioshock is a definite step up and deserves every single 9-10 rating it received. Is there anything I need on the PS3 right now? No. I see nothing. My Xbox 360 is keeping my plenty satisfied.

There's been a lot of shuffling around in the HD wars and I feel like HD DVD finally has a chance to come back with Paramount/Dreamworks switching sides. Highdefdigest and AVS forums are usually flooded with depressing threads on the demise of HD DVD, but it's turned around. It's anyone's game now. Game on Siyu. Fuck Blu ray.
