I missed that part~ also, the chavpanzee seems....well, remember the guff people gave Sing for having a gorilla gang? Maybe they should've saved that for this.

It makes me wonder if I ever want to actually finish Far Cry 2 when compy is running again. ..I really hope my saves still exist actually.

Modern Warfare is when I a tally started caring about Drab Brown Modern Realistic FPSes. Bad Company 2 was a nice surprise, too. Modern Warfare 2 was pretty good. Never got to play MW3. It never went on sale for less than like thirty bucks, that I can recall.

Be careful what you wish for with remakes. I wanted a remake of Final Fantasy 3 (the NES one) for ages, but they gave me the DS one which had...ugh...CHARACTERS and stuff. They changed the story so much. And introduced like two second load times on every screen transition, of which there are *many*.

I've never cared about Assassins Creed, and each new nearly annual game has just dunked my enthusiasm ever lower, especially as reports of all the bugs inevitably come out.

Well, a driving game with a story isn't a bad thing, by any means. It's just not what I personally would *prefer* from a racing game. :) I enjoyed what I played of Driver: San Franciso, for instance~

Also at old, old PS2 Spy Hunter. The one where you never leave the car. That was a friggin' BLAST.
