Just picked up God of War 3 today, yeah, one day after launch. Let's just say that me waking up at 4 p.m. yesterday didn't put me in the mood to go to the mall that day :P. Anyway, I haven't gotten that far in the game (just offed Helios, and quit after the save), but I would be rather suprised if I didn't slide the rating to a 10 after I beat it. Combine Uncharted 2's cinematic style with God of War's epic scenarios, and you get $60 more than well spent. Anyway, I think I'm getting old, because I can't keep up with the game at times (or maybe because I've been playing a lot of slow-paced games the past few months, Mass Effect, Dragon Age and some MMOs) :P. I got the Collector's Edition, and I have to say I'm very satisfied with it. The Pandora's Box feels sturdy enough for personal use, that secret compartment would be good for...well, I have no idea, but I guess it's good to have. The DLC I can't comment on, because I have to beat the game to try out. Bottom line, this is THE game that I will be glued to my console for a very long time, hopefully by the time I finish it Metro 2033 will be up and running on my computer (I'm predicting at least four days until I finish it).

Oh, and is it a bad sign when you buy someone bubble gum on request, and people think you're flirting with said co-worker? :?. Maybe it's because of the Powerade...didn't want to run just $0.60 on my card, so I tried to add it up so I don't seem laughably pathetic to the cashier (yeah, I basically live on my debit card :P). Oh, and happy St Patrick's Day, people! Can't tell you guys how many lame jokes I had to put up with all day that tied in with my name...word of advice, don't name your kids after holidays!
