I guess...

For some reason that reminded me more of Duke Nukem than anything...

Yay!! Nice man from UPS has just placed my repaired 360 into my sweaty palm!

Just got to wait to get home tonight to play the damn thing!

Wow. That's a vague picture of Solid Snake if ever I saw one. You only have to wait a few more hours.

I'm starting to think that by the time I finish Fallout 3 I will have maxed out almost all of my stats. Currently they are all at 100 apart from barter, melee and unarmed. I still have 6 more level ups to go and need to play through Broken Steel.

The Pitt was far better than Operation Anchorage but was still a bit clumsy and small and didn't really make all that much sense. I'm hoping that Broken Steel will have been thought out a bit more.

If you ask me Broken Steel is the best of the three by a long shout. I thought Operation Anchorage was a bit too linear and arcadey and The Pitt was too small and claustrophobic. Although the auto-axe is the awesome.

It is indeed. I am now pumping all of my level-up points into melee weapons despite never using them before. The Mauler is now an integral part of my inventory. It seems to kill most things in one hit. After collecting all 100 steel ingots in The Pitt I have a whole locker full of awesome unique weapons and armors

Wait until you get the tesla cannon it's as awesome as it sounds.

One other thing, I've noticed that one of the level 30 perks puts all your SPECIAL stats at 9. So, if you were willing to level to 30 without getting any of the SPECIAL bobbleheads you could, in theory, bump all your stats up to a full 10.

That sounds quality, especially if its anything near as epic as the hellfire cannon. I noticed that perk but I've already got all of the bobbleheads so I can't do it unfortunately. Still, it doesn't make a massive difference I don't think but would be pretty cool.

I just cheated once I hit level 30 and reset all my stats to 10 through console commands.

No cheating for me as I'm on the 360.

Although, I am planning on getting to level 29 with evil karma and then using the "Here and Now" perk to quickly get the acheivement and then reloading to a save just before level 28, using the "set your karma to either neutral or good" at level 28 and then doing "Here and Now" again, twice. Cheeky little cheaty way of getting the acheivements.

This is apparantly a leaked trailer of the next Team ICO game. It looks like the right style and features the chain going doing a hole featured in the one screenshot that was released a while ago. It looks quite interesting.

[GundamGuy_UK]

They can decline it all they want, the art style is exactly the same and it has that chain from the teaser image as its opening shot.

Unless someone went to a lot of trouble to make an elaborate hoax, that's what their next game looks like.

I picked up Oblivion again for the first time in months and really wish I hadn't. I only intended to play on it for about an hour but ended up spending a lot longer than that finishing off the Thieves Guild quests. The ending was a little cheesy, I must say, but I enjoyed all of the sneaking and stealing leading up to it.

[zeden]

I was under the impression that the bit I've circled is Snakes face in profile. The bit on the right looks like a slightly retarded version of The Leader, at least in terms of the bulbous head.

Chris' link - Fallout 3 DLC coming to PS3

Two more bits of DLC too! With those on the horizon I think I'll wait till the Game of the Year edition comes out with all the DLC already on it before getting into any of the new stuff.

I don't see that.

Apparently there's a hand resting on Snake's forehead, and I can see that one.

[NiteFall]

Honestly, I don't think there's actually anything there and it's just over-excited fanboys trying to read meaning into something that has none.

[GundamGuy_UK]

I'm not excited in the least (Metal Gear Solid strolled firmly into the realms of stupidity a long time ago, 1 and 3 are the only good ones), and I see Snake clear as day.
