I always mimic aalfonso when he posts these things, mainly because I don't think to do them until I see one of his.

Brütal Legend. HELLS YES. Acres of land to cover in a big daddy roth style hotrod with heavy metal spewing from its MOUTH OF METAL stereo system. Exploration with item unlocks. Gorgeous, gorgeous heavy metal album cover evocative landscapes (I want wallpapers!). Top notch voice acting and writing, constantly wavering on the line of loving and respecting heavy metal music, and laughing at all it entails. I'm worried that the game may end up being short, so I'm pacing myself rather than trying to get through it. I want to spend time in this world, but I tend to drop a game as soon as I finish the main story.

GTA IV: My disc cracked and died, and while I followed up with official replacement channels I grew more and more obsessed with being able to play the yet-unfinished DLC, Lost and Damned. Now with so many of my friends playing Ballad of Gay Tony, I'm extra stoked that Weezie transpacifically flung a copy my way. I played some of each DLC this weekend. So far the side characters in Gay Tony seem like a return to some of the more sophomoric humor of earlier GTAs rather than the "I wish I was Martin Scorsese" feeling of IV.

The Beatles: Rock Band was out in full force during our Halloween party this weekend. Lots of fun singing, though one of my friends is a fantastic singer. She was killing my performances out of the gate and getting great scores even on Expert on her first playthrough.

Rock Band Unplugged: Still enjoying this though the track listing is stiflingly limited compared to even Rock Band 1.
