The Long Dark Xbox-less Fall.

I'm going on month number three without a working Xbox 360, which is typically my console of choice. While I wait for the opportunity to pick up a 250Gb 360s bundle I've been catching up on the PS3. I think it's safe to say that I'm far past the Metal Gear Solid 4 hype going into it over two years later and I feel that without those rose colors glasses the game is failing to live up to its reputation, at least at the four hour mark. Red Faction: Guerrilla I found for $10 and if you can appreciate taking down a whole fortress with nothing but a sledgehammer and the sweat off your brow, it would be a steal at twice the price. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 I purchased in a pack that includes the Onslaught maps and Battlefield: 1943. If you haven't played B:BC2, I can't suggest it enough. The single player campaign is fantastical but not absurd and overcomplicated, the characters are some of the most charming ever in an action game and the multiplayer is second only to Halo in my house.

I still haven't taken photos of the upgraded PC as I'm trying to figure out where our camera is. Hopefully those will be up soon. After the upgrade to a Radeon HD5770, I've been running Fallout: New Vegas with Ultra settings, 4xFSAA and 16xAnisotrophic Filtering all silky smooth. If you're looking for a big boost in PC gaming power I highly recommend the 5770.
