Heh. I read it every day. I just stopped posting, because I didn't feel like saying anything.

BTW, I'm engaged now. To [livejournal.com profile] chellykins AKA Chelanna. Won't get married for another year and a half, because she's away on a missions trip to Eastern Europe!

Yes, Resistance has two player story co-op, and on top of all that, it's side-to-side, not top and bottom, so you get a much better view on a widescreen TV. The only weird thing is player two isn't part of the story. Just a mysterious black guy running around behind the hero, with all his weapons and powers.

My friends still come over and play the game.

The games most played on my system are:
Rock Band 2 (by faaaaar),

Fallout 3 (by myself and two others. I've racked up over 150 hours of play),

Resistance (which really made me wish number 2 was just the same game with more maps and a few new weapons),

The Simpsons Game (which is worth getting on any system, and has a very fun two player co-op story mode.)

Need For Speed: Carbon (with Tahmoh Penikett)

The Darkness (one player FPS with amazing voice acting and story, with stuff you'll never see in an FPS again. Super unique)

But by far the coolest thing I've got, you've probably got on your XBOX. The Orange Box has Half-Life action I haven't even beat yet, but Portal, I beat within 12 hours of owning it. And I still showed it to everybody I know.

I owned Call of Duty: World at War for a few minutes, before taking it back to the store and trading it in for half the price. I hated it that much. Haze, too. The worst game I've played on PS3.

I do, however, recommend a slightly retro game you can only get at Playstation Store. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo was very briefly available for the Sega Saturn, and is the coolest head-to-head competitive Tetris clone with chibi Street Fighters on the market today.

The other thing I recommend is that you go into your settings and find the thing about DVD upscaling, and the related stuff, and kick it up to maximum. You have no idea how high the quality goes on those things. I have a TV that's one step down from 1080P, and we can't always tell the difference between DVD and Blu-Ray.

But I own a lot of Blu-Rays.
