Currently playing a cycling rotation of:

• Rock Band 3 vocals/bass
• Karaoke Revolution Encore 2 (any takers for boosting co-op Achievements? I'm not joking...)
• Band Hero vocals (same offer...)
• Le Saboteur: Mostly playing this. Elsewhere, my fascination with this game and willingness to continue playing it despite a couple disastrous game design decisions has been referred to as "Le Syndrome Stockholm avec Paris." Expect a full write-up to follow on the heels of the game's completion, or after I snap the disc in half.
  
• Pac-Man Championship Edition DX This game and its predecessor should be the focus of a ludology class. Goodness me, here is a 30 year old game with barely updated graphics, but the gameplay has been revised and adapted to expose the ungodly amount of depth available. Just remarkable. It makes me think back to the experience of developing Pac-Man World 20th Anniversary Edition, and just how badly we knew we were FAILING to include the important portions of the classic gameplay.
  
• UFC 2010 Undisputed, everything except online. Kind of stalled.
  
• Kinect Adventures
• Kinect Dance Central

Games to which I say "good-bye, good riddance." These are about to go to A-Too, a local game shop which has overseas (Western) games.

• WANTED: Weapons of Fate - Double-dutch duct-tape done with this. Didn't finish the collect-a-thon, I decided to take my sanity and go home. Also decided that I'm probably never buying Grin's Terminator game, just on prinicple.
• EA Sports MMA --- so, so done with this. I went from being fascinated with the fight system to being frustrated and angry with it. There are people who say it's better than UFC; I am painfully curious on from where they are drawing this assessment.

So, Le Saboteur is that evocative? Hmmm... aside from the fact that I've missed the non-Undead West so much that I can put up with Jack Marston, I'm in the market for something new... aside from L.A. Noire, of course.

Write it up!

Please?

You aren't interested in L.A. Noire?! I'm stunned!

[sdemory.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm more than interested. L.A. Noire is pretty much a given. It's not sandbox, though, and I need to have a walking around game in addition.

OK, got it. I was truly baffled.

Stay tuned for my longwinded ramblings on "Saboteur."
