As for my YLOD I know what caused it. After putting the PS3 in standby mode and dusting it off, I rested the dust absorbing cloth over the PS3. Even though it was not being used, I woke to the YLOD. I removed the cloth, went to work and haven't had a problem with the PS3 since

visually it is the best PS3 game I have played (I have MGS4 but I refuse to play it until I beat MGS3). Like others my main problem is the storytelling. It is set up right but told alllll wrong. The idea of an alternate path taken in the 50's is really promising but is told poorly. I am about 8 missions in and I am already thinking it is all the same. Also there seems to be little pacing, what FPS gives you a tank like 3 missions into the game? It was just something you drive for like literally 3 minutes and then you are done with it. It would be better if there was a build up to the tank, some foreshadowing or some feeling of achievement for finally being able to drive a tank.

If you want a good story, try Half-Life. I really appreciate it now that I've played RFoM. I cared about the characters and enjoyed facing the enemies even though they aren't as smart as RFoM. RFoM just seems like shoot shoot shoot... follow some soldiers... shoot shoot shoot... cutscene... rinse and repeat

congrats. If you like sports, Madden seems like the way to go. This is shaping up to be yet another great football season and there is another patch coming out for some of the glitches and such as well.
