Mechwarrior Online is a big, massive yawn. Once you get over the cool factor of controlling what feels like a legit heavy mech... it has very little else going for it. There are two game modes, and they're almost identical. There are several robots, though quite honestly the only real difference is that they're broken up onto four weight classes. Weapons are of little variety, shooting things isn't much fun, and because you're piloting a big tub of fuck, you can't really dodge anything. You've got a chance if you're piloting the lightest mech to circle around enemies faster than they can turn to shoot you, but beyond that it's all about praying that nobody decides to target you. Like any other multiplayer game, as soon as someone has you in their sights or targets you, they get tunnel vision and there's little if anything you can do to shake them off in this game.

I think a good comparison is Team Fortress 2, but only if everyone was a Heavy and you can only walk around with your chaingun revving(which makes the heavy walk slow). It's really not much fun. I wish they'd make an Armored Core Online.

Just bought Crysis 2, and a 3D TV. Tomorrow should be fun.

So i have a PS3 and have the following games
WWE 13-Played and enjoy
Infamous 1-Played and enjoy
Infamous 2-Haven't played
Uncharted 1 and 2-haven't played
Ratchet and Clank-played and enjoy

Now with my tax return, I want to get a few games. UFC 3, Madden 11 or 12(don't need the newest one, not a huge football fan), and a third one, but I can't decide. I like open world games, and the first that came to mind was Skyrim, but i thought I read somewhere it had issues on the PS3. What do you guys recommend?

The only issue I'm aware of that Skyrim had on the PS3 was that the DLC was never getting released.

Though I think that's on the mend.

So there isn't any bugs or anything, it's just all the extra content isn't available?

As excited as I am for Dead Space 3 (even with the action-heavy emphasis tempering my expectations), I think it's the new Sly Cooper that I'm most looking forward to playing when I get home from work tomorrow. In addition to looking every bit as great as a new HD Sly Cooper game should, there's apparently some really cool PS3 to Vita connectivity stuff going on with it. And it kicks all different kinds of ass that you get a free copy of the Vita version with the PS3 game via the "cross buy" initiative, especially at only $40. When you combine that sort of stuff with what's going on with Playstation Plus, I think it's pretty clear that Sony's offering the best value to console gamers, by a rather considerable margin.
