Well we got ODST, tried to play the campaign amd got the cannot read disc error. We did what the box said to do (clean disc and restart machine) but to no avail. We exchanged disc and had same problem. So I got on bungie.net and found out A LOT of people are having the same problem and that it even spread to their halo 3 disc. Since I didn't see a definitive answer about a fix on the forums we went and got our money back. IF/WHEN they get it fixed I guess we will get it. Was pretty excited about playing new campaign and getting new maps for H3, but now we are out both since maps are only available to ODST owners.

We did pick up DIRT 2 I guess in place of ODST, it's seems to be ok so far, although they really dumbed it down to almost an arcade game. I wish they hadn't done that. I think companies over think things and change way to much between games. They did the same for Marvel UA 2. Don't get me wrong I like the game, but I miss being able to pick from 4 different suits and pick my own powers, I think they focused too much on the somewhat new fusions. It's basically a changed special power. I also do miss picking up gear as well. The new team bonuses are nice but there are so many of them kind of overloaded. The story is pretty good though and it is a lot of fun other than the things I've mentioned, it's a pretty good follow-up.

I'm now excited for Forza 3 to come out..can't wait!

We picked up Call of Juarez BIB, it's pretty good. A good western so far, still trying to get the hang of the duel though lol been stuck on the 4th or 5th mission now with a tough hombre giving me fits. The online is pretty fun although I haven't found my niche with any particular character setup though. Haven't played it enough. WAW and Halo Wars are still taking up most of my online time. Into my 4th prestige on WAW now, I'm finding it a fun go through each time, trying to get on #10. Halo Wars has seen a big break-through for me as I am now wining 60-70% of the time now. I'm just under a million points away from getting to general now.

I did finish DIRT and came up 2 achievements short of getting all achievements for it. Both were online racing goals. I tried my best but just couldn't come through. The online was so much different from offline.

Right now we have Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and HALO 3: ODST on pre-order so I'm trying to make headway on all the other games we have right now. We've got the most games we've ever had at one time. Plus, there are so many new ones coming soon or just out we'd like to try: NCAA '10, Forza 3, GH 5, NHL '10, Dirt 2, FIFA '10, Alpha Protocol along with the two we've already pre-ordered.

Well since I've completed Quantum of Solace and nearly have Dirt completed, my attention has turned mostly to Halo Wars and Call of Duty WAW. QOS was a pretty fun game, I enjoyed it, I think GS rated it too low. I think they (GS) need to see great innovation in every game (usually in graphics) to give something a good rating. QOS was very enjoyable, not ground breaking but a fun game that was worth the $ spent. The campaign was good and also the multi player. I completed all achievements as well, some were tough but there were none really impossible. I've been playing COD WAW off and on since it came out, but I've been playing it much more and I'm now level 45 on my 4th go around on prestige. This time through I've been concentrating on using all the guns in the game and completing at least the first level of marksman on each as well as first level expert. I've found I like some of the rifles much more than I thought I would.

I love playing Halo Wars, very fun. Multi-player is fun, but I don't get to play often enough with the same partners and having matchmade partners can be frustrating. People quit or have no clue what they are doing way to often. So if you play HW send a FR to me if your also looking for a steady partner. I really only get to play weekdays though.

We've also picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance again ($10) we loved that game and got the itch to play it again. This time we've paired up all the characters and are playing through the whole game with each set. It doesn't take us long to get through the whole game (5-10 days) so we are working on play through #7 since we started again and are nearly halfway done with the 16 pairs. We are hoping MUA 2 will be just as fun as the first game.

I've also been dabbling with The Godfather, I've found it very interesting to play and glad I finally got it, I waited for the price to come down alot, just in case I didn't care for it. No reason to pay steep prices for all games hehe, no multiplayer really so don't have to worry about people not playing anymore. It was worth the $20 for me. I've also got Burnout Paradise sitting here, been waiting to finish up Dirt before I start another racing game. I'm sure I will come up two achievements short of getting all of achievements for Dirt now. The two online achievements, win a rally and win a hill climb. No matter what I do I am absolutely terrible racing online. I can't control the cars and since I can't change the cars settings it's pretty much hopeless. So once I get the 1000 mile and the world championship in the rally mode done I'll be trading it in.
