Has anyone got Age of Conan yet?

My initial an current reaction is meh. Other than the unique attack system, it feels very much done before.

Thats the impression I've gotten from most of the reviews I've seen as well.

you know, it was fun for awhile. but like the others i got bored after like 20 or 30 hours. there really isn't that much to do on your own other then drive around, when you aren't working on the story

and the guys voice really annoyed me. heres a tuff russian killer, and he sounds like yakoff smirnoff

Aren't there a ton of seperate achievements to go after?

Stunt jumps, shooting birds (i've heard), crap to look for?

yeah there is, but i get bored with those

i don't know, i haven't played it in a month or two, and i don't miss it

but i'm pretty sure i'm in the minority, so i wouldn't let me discourage you too much

i just bought fifa 08, i'll be wasting my weekend playing that

Grand Theft Auto 4 has been great. Took a little to get used to some changes but am into it now. Working the prostitutes then killing them to get my money back. Killed three Hasidic gentlemen, took their money and escaped a 5 star police onslaught, punks, couldn't handle me in the GTO on the getaway.

On a seperate note, finally got the Wii and the Wii Fit today. Pretty cool. Shit, wife even knocked me out in the boxing..was throwin' her a beatin' and then laid up to let her get some in and she put me away. That's the last time I lay light. It's 1988 Mike Tyson on her next time out. Playing around with the sports pack, hell, you get a nice little workout in the living room. Haven't cracked open the Fit board yet, gotta feeling it'll make you asscrack-sweaty in no time.

If I remember correctly you could kill strippers in Duke Nukem? But I think they turned out to be aliens anyway. Damn its been a long time since Duke.

Its about damned time this game came out. I've been beating the pavement outside Best Buy for weeks. Sega's ad guy is a master at baiting you into buying things.....is that enough?

I got one of these xbox360 things. Is there anything I should know about it? Does it do any cool tricks?

I mean other than sounding like a jet plane about to fire down the runway for lift-off. No way this thing lasts 3 years sounding like this.

[Zool]

Make it blow up Skinner. MS extended the warranty on all 360's to like 2 years. Cook that thing and get one of the new released ones. They are about 1/2 the volume and run much cooler.

Did anyboby play Red Alert 2? Red Alert 3 is coming out later this year and I am stoked about it.

Should be about 2 years. StarCraft is still about a year out.
