Metal Gear Solid 4!
Solid Snake has now become "Old Snake" - wrinkles galore!
What a game! I have yet to complete it, but so far this game is all that I hoped it would be (graphically and gameplay-wise). The only thing that I find boring about the game are the sometimes super-long cut-scenes and cinematic sequences - not because it's visually boring, but because it has too much substance and back-story that I find hard to follow (since I really have not kept up with the story line since Metal Gear Solid 1). The game has interesting aspects - like being able to view flashbacks during the cut-scenes, being able to change your point of view to see what Snake's eyes see (also during the cut-scenes), and the hilarious "psyche" meter (which drains every time Snake's self-esteem takes a hit). I've also reached a part of the game where it momentarily allowed me to "flashback" to the actual Metal Gear Solid 1 gameplay (graphics, controls and all - it was cool) - but once I died in the level I chose to get back to MGS4 style gaming :-P
These are the B and B's - Beauty and the Beast Corps - they are level bosses that need to be killed in MGS4 - I've killed 3 out of the 4 - the last one will be the toughest - but they're all a bitch to kill - and I'm even playing "Liquid Easy" difficulty level! Sheesh!
Wow...first GTA 4, now MGS 4 - the games of 2008 have been kick-ass ^_^ I'm so glad I have a PS3!
What I'd really like to get into after this - Guitar Hero and Rock Band :-D Also, I saw a commercial on TV yesterday about some kind of similar music game for the Nintendo DS - it's like you attach buttons to the underside (key-presses), and use the touch screen and a guitar pick for strumming. Neat idea! I'd like to have a go at that.
So many fun gamey-things to do...so little time!
I wish Gameworks was still around - I miss air hockey :-( If anyone knows where we can play air hockey on island, let me know ;-D
I went to The Rally Point in Hagåtña with my coworkers to play Rock Band. It was awesome! At first I sucked, until I stopped trying so hard and just listened to the music. We played Weezer, Radiohead, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foo Fighters ... the music you can play in the game is really great. Haven't tried Guitar Hero though.

I've just finished MGS4 (an amazing game from start to finish, even with the boring parts :-P ) - so I need to find another game to play. I've got to check out Gamestop to see if they're still selling the PS3 Rock Band bundle (guitar, mic, and drums).
I know I read something in the paper a while back about that Rally Point place - I've just never gone there. Sounds like fun!
