Finished Yakuza 3 (PS3) about a week ago. FANTASTIC in every sense of the word. Loved the story and characters (new and old). Fun combat, lots of entertaining sidequests and the minigames were enjoyable. Not even the edited content in the US version made the game any less epic and fun. I'm looking forward to finishing up the various sidequests in Premium Mode later. I hope Sega localizes the 4th game. I love this world. GET IT!

Also finished Alan Wake (360) last night. Awesome story and great combat. The world is really atmospheric and creepy. Personally, I didn't find the game scary at all. There are some jump scares but no dread, imo. I guess after playing through games like Bioshock and Dead Space, I'm immune to the dread factor in Wake. There are also lots of funny moments that break the tension which I appreciated. This is a really well written game and the voice acting is SUPERB. The graphics had some issues like tearing and pop-in, but it didn't ruin the mood of the game at all. The lighting effects are really well done and I loved the art design of Bright Falls. I also found the audio for the game in general to be excellent. Great use of surround and lots of awesome effects. Make sure to turn up the volume cuz the default sound is a lil low. Anyways, MUST PLAY!

Also played a few hours of Red Dead Redemption (360). I've only done some missions but it's been pretty good. The voice acting is top notch and all the characters behave really realistically. The shooting is tight, unlike past GTA open-world games. The world has a lot of ambient noises and effects that will keep you immersed. I don't like the save system or some of the other mechanics like sprinting/running but I'll deal with it. Fun game so far, will try out the multi soon. Btw, John Marston is a very cool character. Recommended.

Also, new pick-ups!

The following are components for my video project I'm planning to work on.
