Reviews for Oblivion and GRAW have been outstanding. Reviews for Blazing Angels have been generally crappy.

Yeah, I've seen those. But I trust you guys and your first hand knowledge more than some f4gg0t from GameSpy.

Oblivion is a great way to waste a few hundred hours of your time.

I'm about to get Ghost Recon today. It looks amazing.

Blazing Angels is a good game if you're into dogfighting, but it looks a little hokey to me.

Isn't Oblivion an RP game?

Last time I played one of those was FF VII, on PS1. After a while it got tedious, but this game sounds different.

Went with Oblivion. Having a little bit of a hard time hitting shit with my spells and arrows, but the sword seems to work fine. I'm still in the dungeon following Cpt. Picard around. I haven't died or anything yet, but those big rats kind of put a hurting on me when I tried to hit them with my stupid fire spell. Stupid magic. I also need to put a bunch of stuff down so that I can pick more stuff up. I'm wondering if I really need to be carrying around all this rat meat.

I'd have gone with Blazin Angels before Oblivion.

I've been hooked on NCAA 2k6 lately. That and my nephew keeps kicking the crap out of everyone... except me. I think he is sick of Mookie for for three from the '88 team. I think he has tried every Kentucky team on the game now against me. Eventualy he is going to brake down and use UNLV '90 to kick my ass.

Have any of you played Major League Baseball 2K6? I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I'm thinking about getting this game. The reviews have been ok, but it seems to be the only choice for the 360 this year. I'm torn.

I wasn't very impressed when I played it.

Thanks. if anyone here has delta force we can play on line. Or we could all meet and play another game.

Funny thing is I spent 6 years in the Army and yet I can't keep some 14 year old from sticking a knife up my ass.
