Cryostasis

I finished Cryostasis today, it took rougly 7 hours I guess so I went pretty slow :P. I'm not really sure because I have no xfire tracking or steam tracking to tell me, I usually rely on them when it comes to game length nowadays. The game will come out in the US on the 21st of April I think. It's well worth checking out, I was quite impressed with it at times, but it ran pretty badly especially towards the end. Perhaps that signals an upgrade, but I think the problem was that it got progressively worse, at the start it ran fairly well on my machine

Combat wasn't exactly crysis shooter quality, but it was passable. Horror elements were pretty good, mental echoes were probably the standout along with the fantastic sound effects. If you are interested in knowing more check out my review

Fallout 3 Operation Anchorage was pretty disappointing, it basically took out all the good elements of fallout 3 (exploration, side quests, choice) It was a linear shooter, and fallout 3 is not a good linear shooter. You get some items at the end, but hardly worth it despite the small price tag.

I've just started The Pitt, and it seems to be a bit better, it feels like paradise falls side quest in Fallout 3, At least I'm not in a simulation with no pickups from dead bodies anymore. Too bad I can't take fawkes with me :(

I put my FEAR 2 review up on gamespot if you want to read it.

Max Payne 3 is coming, well all I can say is I hope they don't ruin one of my favourite franchises, I'll be waiting until I see some gameplay screenshots or some videos before I judge. I wonder if they will get the guy who did Max's voice back for this one, the writer and developers are gone so they have a rough road ahead.

The DiRT trailer was hot, but totally ambiguous and irrelevant to the game, hooray for silly marketing. Well it got me to post a link so +1 to sly marketing.

Need for Speed shift trailer makes it looks totally like GRID

I'm still playing left 4 dead, it's gotten beyond addiction stage (what stage is that? Death?) and I'm nearly up to 200 hours in xfire, talk about crazy given that I only play no mercy and blood harvest over and over. I just can't stop playing it.

Finally GTA 4 is my profile header image and since it's been a while since release it's time for something new, suggestions welcome!
