Its got Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars

Yeah, and that is a great game (from what I've read) but I meant more along the lines of an adventure RPG rather than a tactics based game.  I want to build up characters and grind and travel exotic lands!

We had Tales of the Abyss come out on the 3DS in 2011 (Australia and Europe). I haven't played it myself, but apparently it's solid. 

Fingers crossed for Paper Mario sooner rather than later.

I think the PSN outage goes under the category of Lawsuits. I for one don't blame Sony for that outage though, if any disappointment were to be handed out, I'd give it to the hackers behind the outage and the players reaction to it. Yes, Sony should have fessed up to the breach immediately, however the call for a lawsuit and failure to be upset with the real party behind the outage by the community was pretty disappointing in my opinion. *Note: I'm a PS3 and 360 owner so I live do use both systems.

Forgiven them? I don't think any sane person would have blamed them to begin with. Jeez, we live in the age of the shunned. It is sad to look around and see what is happening to some people. You make one mistake, and you will never, ever be allowed to live it down no matter what.

I hear some gamers still talk about the PSN outage and talk about all the "gamers" who had their money and credit card info stolen. So I say to them "What people? Where did you read that? From literally everything I read, nobody ever said that your crdit card information was stolen. They said is was a possibility, and you should be aware of it"

People took that and ran with it and suddenly it got blown out of proportion and turned into this giant heist that never actually happened. I haven't read a single thing about any notable amount of people having their credit card info stolen from the PSN hack. Sony got hacked, they fixed it and upped their security. This literally happens every single week to a huge corporation, but to gamers it feels much larger and more significant because it happened to a company they know very well, and use their products to play games on.

If I had a dime for everytime a Bank was hacked I'd have enough to buy my own Bank and call it Frosty Poo Bank.

I know it's a critical darling but honestly I don't think Shadows of the Damned was all that good.  People rave about the hilarious dick jokes, but I found them purile.  The Johnson character left a "me too" taste in my mouth so soon after Wheatley did it much better.  Texture pop-in was awful, the color palette was drab throughout, and the gameplay was pretty much RE4&5 only with a "darkness" mechanic that was more annoying than enjoyable... particularly with the repetitive goat braying and baby crying sound effects throughtout.  Even the Evil Dead reference, though commendable, led to multiple replays when your girlfiend caught up with you just because you didn't know where to run.  Just a thoroughly average game with too much elitist cred, and not enough consumer appeal.

I disagree. I found the game hysterical and an absolute blast form start to finish. The "dick jokes" were...handled...with a lot more care than, say, Duke Nukem Forever. The jokes weren't there to just shock you, they were there to make you laugh. And Johnson was great, a floating ex demon skull who can turn into a Motorcycle is pretty much the greatest thing gaming has ever offered.

I never saw and texture pop-in at all, and I usually notice pop-in instantly. And the color palette was what I loved most about the game. It was so colorful. Everywhere you went was filled with reds, blues, greens, yellows, purples, etc. The primary colors used made the whole game pop from start to finish.

I thought the darkness mechanic was fresh and interesting. It actually made you scared for your life, and the music and sound effects that play while inside the darkness are just downright terrifying. I was always looking forward to those parts throughout the entire game, since I know they would actually scare me and very, very, very few games scare me.

I also loved the 2D segements, which would have made a great game on their own. I don't have any complaints about the entire game. I laughed all the time, and had a blast. The game is colorful, gorgeous, and full of variety. The characters are interesting and fun to be around, and the combat is everything that made RE4 and RE5 great, with a whole bunch of modern touches like the abolity to move and shoot at the same time.

If I had one thing bad to say about Shadows of the Damned, it would be the ending, which I think could have been better.

I fully agree with this statement.  Red Faction: Guerilla was a ton of fun but needed some improvement.  Instead, we got Red Faction: Armageddon.  What a waste.
