Gina loves the smurfs!!

Jimmie, I didn't even know there was an Alan Wake American Nightmare. I also loved Alan Wake. I played all the DLC and enjoyed it quite a bit.

Only thing is it was so good, I couldn't play it at night because I would get scared. Hahahaha. I will have to check out the XBLA new Alan Wake!

I think BF3 is definitely worth cracking open if you're kind of slowing down on Arkham City.  From the few times I played it Ryan-BBY's house, the online multiplayer was enjoyable and a little more of a relaxed pace than MW3.  I felt like you could actually be tactical and have it pay off without getting out-skilled by some crazy run-n-gunner.  Just my thoughts!

I haven't played many FPS games since the original Unreal Tournament, but sometimes being a "crazy run-n-gunner" can make a game much more enjoyable.

gpete, I've often wondered about UFC 3. I heard it's really good but I just can't picture myself getting it. Any comments on what's good or what's not?

Mafia II was pretty good, except in my opinion, the DLC sucked. Good thing that came free with my copy!!

Jesus, not to be a MW snob, but don't worry, you haven't missed much with BF3. You might remember a thread I posted about it and nothing about BF3 wowed me in any way to want to play it. And I played BF2 and had some decent fun. I'm over the Battlefield series and quite frankly could care less if they continue to release games that attempt to rival CoD. If they keep releasing games, then they are no better than CoD. At least CoD admits and knows it's ridiculous.

And that is my opinion on BF3 - 100% opinion.

I like things about both CoD and BF3.

BF3 had mountable pods for guns. It's stupid to see the mouser with bipod and it not be used in MW3.

BF3 had collapsable buildings. Awesome for campers that have those lightning reflexes, but are too much of a pansy to get out of a rotating hiding spot.

Besides that it was a forgettable game. Alright but forgettable. MW3 isn't the greatest either. It's recycled maps, so unless you didn't play previous it's old news. The new maps are pretty good though, to bad very few people have the maps. They need to release them on the markets.

UFC 3 is very similar to the first 2... not much new except the additon of the PRIDE fights, new submission mini game and expanded roster. The roster still could have been better, since some where included who retired in the last few months and others are missing (possible future DLC). If you are a UFC fan, its a game you would get, if you are a video game fighting fan, Tekken or Mortal Kombat, you can skip it. I wrote a review under the product under the PS3 version.

Mafia II, I agree was good, not great though. I did like the time and enviornment change for the different time periods, with the cars, snow and radio. I didn't like that it didn't feel as open as other game like Grand Theft and Saint's Row series.

I usually rent games since I have limited cash and lots of time ut of work for the past year).

As far sports games, which I'm a huge fan, I would say I'm still playing NBA 2k12. Great basketball game one of the best I ever play and I go back to Bird vs Dr.J years.
