My thoughts: GTA IV is good (but I couldn’t play it past 20 hours for becoming monotonous), LPB is cute but boring, MGS4 is archaic, Bioshock is a good time, Brawl is fun but overrated (I’d rather play Mario Kart), Gears of War 2’s story makes me blush with embarrasment, I didn’t play Chrono Trigger, Braid is fun but overrated, World of Goo is tops (!), I didn’t play Fallout 3 but Jack gushes over it, Rock Band 2 is “fully awesome” (can you name the movie?), Chains of Olympus isn’t near as good as God of War 2, and I don’t play WoW. You?
