Limit Break, Bulbasaur, Bad Voice Acting and Gay Mexicans

Phew. That was one long 6 weeks. Lost a lot of HP, but now ready to bounce back with 3 weeks of on/off nothing! So awesome! (Limit Break ftw)
All this freedom, however, leaves me with a conundrum: what to do with it?
Sure I can train, sure I'm hoping to go to an open beach party tomorrow, but there's weeks more to go, and I'm not nearly gay enough to write/read poetry.
That leaves me with one option: crack open a can of whoop-ass on the VG front.

I'll start off by discussing what is easily one of the most awesome games I've ever played to date: Red Dead Redemption (which from this point I'll call RDR for short). As soon as I started I became so immersed in this game, that I couldn't stop playing it, and when I finally did I couldn't stop thinking about it. I've already clocked up over 16 hours (that's a lot for me). The whole world, with it's attention to detail (even as far as weather and landscape), huge open area to explore, and stunning realism (especially voice acting) just never cease to amaze me. And the music's cool. Whether you love to track and hunt down bandits for bounties, go out and hunt wild animals, break horses or follow the interesting and original story path, this game will grip you like a horny 13-year-old grips his... Corn Flakes. Oh, and it has gay Mexicans, which just makes it even better.

I'll be switching feverishly between this, and the most awesomely fun game I've ever played: Just Cause 2. Seriously, this game is just FuckingAwesomeCrazy. 'Nuff said. (Beware the shit-awful plot, voice-acting and characters though. If you're looking for a game with depth, it's not this one).

Anyone who cares will also remember M and I bashing FFXIII. I still have it. I want to try to play it, but it's just so much of a chore to try to beat the Bulbasaur thing, that I may never touch it again, and just trade it in to get something new and much, much better when the time comes. Maybe Brink, maybe Crysis 2, maybe Crackdown 2... maybe even Halo Reach if I be bothered to wait that long.

Finally, to further solidify the Bulbasaur tag, I've dragged out my brother's and my old Pokemon Crystal game, with a Pokedex of 241 out of 251, with over 300 hours collectively put into it, in order that I can finish it sometime soon, and finally end a 6 (probably more) year struggle with an awesome, awesome game.

Stay tuned, adoring fans (and George),

P.S. Beware the Gay Mexicans!!
