I haven't touched my 360 in months. Starcraft is a high quality game. I was never an RTS fan before either.

All I've been playing is Spore this summer. As an art teacher... I'd recommend it.

Lately, with Bioware's release of Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age.. I've been RPG satisfied. I've played through both twice and plan on playing the expansions.

I would still like to go back and try "the Witcher" and I can't believe I haven't played "Spore" or Fable 2 yet. Lots of options these days.

Since my life has been busier than normal and I'm in front of a computer a lot more.. I've turned to quick web browser based games and found them to be a lot of fun.

I'm playing a soccer manager at www.hattrick.org and an awesome american football sim at **** and I've been playing a lot of poker at www.pokerrpg.com.

These games don't require a ton of time and they are rewarding if you are intelligent and patient over a long period of time.

I have never been as excited about a gameplay feature as I am about Madden 10 online Franchise Mode. Franchise mode for sports games is notoriously easy. If you really want to you can always end up with a full team of all stars. Now, every trade and draft pick will be coveted. It is going to be a brutal competition. I've been waiting for this feature my entire life.

Watch this video if you're not completely sold.

go to that link to save pamela anderson from the evil KFC colonal Killer bloody chicken dudes. The wierd thing is you won't believe how good the game is.

... came at a perfect time. They just unleashed a new hero class called "bard". You get to wield an electric guitar and play guitarhero style on your keyboard in order to vanquish enemies. The best part was that it had me concerned for about 10 whole seconds. Then I realized what day it was and felt foolish. It's pretty convincing though. I bet this is a big stinker in gaming news. Especially if they don't dispell it. They're going to get a lot of unwanted e-mails from this. I hope it's worth it.

Since I'm on break from school and my brother is borrowing my 360.. I decided to try a MMORPG. I started messing around with Eve Online and it's really deep. It's one of these games that I can relax and play instead of having to constantly move to find the action. There is a lot of strategy/scheming involved in the development of your character.. your corporation.. and your alliance. Look me up online if you try it out. My name is "Latche". We can run some lvl 1 missions together or somepin.

Yeah, I've been behind in my art and school work so I let my brother take my 360 to his place for a while. We met at my parents house on Turkey Day to make the horrible handoff. Now I'm dying to try Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Rock Band, and just play some more Madden. He's tearing through Madden and playing Winning Eleven, but he really only plays on Fridays when he is off and his wife is at work. *CRACK* What's that I hear? A loud whipping sound? I find that I'm continually tempted to play my PC games again.. like Command & Conquer. I have a huge stump I pulled out of the woods of Alabama that I'm supposed to be making a chessboard out of. I'm just so freakin' lazy sometimes.

Today, 10-30-07, I logged on to find that none of the union forums are working. I have no idea what is going on. I'm pretty sure this isn't permanent, but it really makes you wonder if Gamespot plans to keep this function around forever.
