2 New games!

I picked up Left 4 Dead despite the horrid crashes I got in the demo. And thankfully I haven't had a single crash. Runs great, no problems there.

But! The server selection and lobby system is very poor, often it doesn't find a server, or I join a server with a bad ping. Really disappointing from Valve, needed to really improve the server/lobby system so you could select from a list, view pings, view countries. This is just basic PC gaming mp. I did hear they are working on a way to integrate it, hoping for something ASAP.

When I get a good server and some good players I had some great fun. Pacing is great, the teamwork is natural. The maps are good fun, the randomness keeps it fresh. Played through the first campaign and died on the chopper landing pad :( Second one myself and biggest_loser got pummelled at the end heading for the boat pier because well I thought the boat was coming to the house....

Yeah well I'm still having fun, the witch is crazy, so is the tank. Can't wait for more weapons/maps.

COD: World at War was half suprising to me. Aside from some sections that felt a bit dry the majority of the campaign seemed better and more natural to me than COD 4. I haven't liked WW2 for a long time, but it's been a while since I've played one, and the thing I notice is that these old weapons are pretty damn accurate ;)

The end levels for USA and REDS were pretty fun, I enjoyed the russian campaign much more though, the music in particular I thought was very good. I also can't believe Gary Oldman voiced the Russian Sgt. The flamethrower was fun, very powerful. And they let you use it in bunkers a lot. For me I seemed to spend less time just waiting for x number of enemies to be killed and more time advancing when I saw a gap in the battle. BONZAI charges are never tiring. The sniper mission was better than COD 4's too.

One thing bothered me a bit was the "in your head" audio from your commanding officers, so he'd be 50m away but it would sound like he was in your head, so if for example he says "follow me" and you are busy stopping a bonzai charge you have no idea where he actually is immediately. On the other hand the number of times you are away from the boss would make directional audio very hard to get right.

After you finish the campaign you get the ZOMBIED NAZIS bonus level to play, crazy stuff :P

Finished Fallout 3, what a fantastic game. I recommend you avoid most of the main quests until you are tired of exploration. As the main quests are very short link together one after the other with few breaks, can be quite tedious and aren't that amazing. Some of the side quests are awesome and are mini stories in themselves.

I completed a review for it, I did make a lot of comparisons to Oblivion, so it might not be completely helpful unless you've played oblivion :P

Not long until I can try out GTA 4 and see what the fuss is about, looking forrward to it and the movie creation feature looks like fun. Not sure if the PC will get the DLC, I'm thinking yes since MS are pushing hard with it on GFW Live.

Anyway thats me, lots of games to play! Still have far cry 2 unfinished, not appealing to me as much as I was hoping I guess. Not going to pick up NFS Blundercover, because The_PC_Gamer says it sucks worse than ho street. :lol:
