There's no reason to buy the Ico Collection if you already have a working PS2 with Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

They're both outstanding games, they're works of art that should be experienced by everyone. But because my PS2 still works, I'm not wasting any time or money on the Ico Collection.

I'd much rather spend my money on a game that I haven't played yet.

i totally agree here. It's not like the improvements to each game are going to really affect how the game is played.

I don't think any one character in Uncharted is annoying but I really found Elena annoying when ever she repeated the same thing over and over again. It was most likely because I couldn't do the platforming well for that section, but everyone has had to have heard Elena say "I think I see a rope down there" at least 5 times in Uncharted 2.

When I kept falling because I didn't reach at the right time, that phrase really got on my nerves.

I liked the characters in U1 and U2 but they are really getting on my nerves now. They are so extremely 1 dimensional. Drake has his stupid wise ass comments, Elena calls him on it and tries to be sassy and cool, Sully has his beligerant almost drunken comments. Like an uncle no one wants to talk to. And judging by what I've seen so far for U3 nothing has changed. They will probably say stupid stuff like "this journey is a lot darker for drake and push him to his limits" like they always say for characters that have run their course. As much as I think the games are good its not because of the characters. They are far too cliched

I loved the first two Uncharted games but I completely agree here. I hope in Uncharted 3 something crazy happens that shatters the cliche and changes Drake completely. If they killed off Sully, I think that'd be a great point for Drake to start changing into a more serious character.

Navi without a doubt. Also, Ashley from Resident Evil 4.

The theater was packed when I went to see it yesterday. The movie was awesome too.

Wow I had no idea about the stadiums. I've met much the same dilemma, trying to train my Pokemon. I've got Emboar, Seismitoad, Druddigon, Bisharp, Zekrom, and Zweilous (trying to evolve him into Hydreigon at the moment) and I'm trying to get them up to par with the Pokemon Champion's team, all up to level 70. Probably should have started with Oshawott and replaced Emboar with a stronger Fire type.

The last time I was amazed by a game is probably when I got to Mexico in Red Dead Redemption and you're riding into the sunset with that song playing. I was just amazed by the game up to that point and knew so much more was to come in a new land. Just an amazing feeling.

The first time I was ever amazed by a game this gen though would be Assassin's Creed. When you are first approaching Jerusalem or whatever city you have to go to first and you crest that hill to see the city spread out beneath you.

I feel that way all the time and it drives me nuts. I still haven't gotten around to playing like ten games, they're just stacked up. I just get into a good book or I have to work or I find another game to play, and some games just never get finished.

1. Red Dead Redemption (probably my favorite single player experience of all time and the multiplayer is excellent)

2. Fallout 3

3. Rift

I'm just really digging massive games where there is tons to do at the moment. Maybe that'll change but for right now I'm loving huge open world games.

There's so many possibilities. GTA V, a new Red Dead, Manhunt 3, LA Noire 2. I'm going to have to go with a new Red Dead, though I have no idea how they're going to top the last one.

Out of those three, probably Skyrim. I'm probably not getting MW3 so that's out of the question, and BF3 is going to be sweet but I've been looking forward to Skyrim for way too long.
