Well, as we're talking about an X-box specific game, I thought I'd enquire about a PS3 specific game. Anyone heard much about MAG?

I've heard that it was pretty good from an inside source, but I have no real confirmation. I honestly don't know much about it myself.
There once was a poster called SoG
about as substantial as fog
he would gleefully beam
while the others did scream
as he fed them alive to the dogs

Inside source?

I've got my birthday soon (I expect a thread this year <_< ) and am thinking about what to get.

You played Dragon Age yet? I still endorse it as one of the best RPGs I've ever played.

Nope, but I may take that statement under advisement. It's in the midst of a fierce contest for my moneys though.

It's a brilliant game and one of the best RPGs ever. They story is wonderful and if you're a heartless bastard, you can cause a lot of chaos.

I liked it better, though Fallout 3 is a remarkably great game... but Dragon Age has that classic computer RPG feel that I always loved.

fallout 3 saddens me, if they shifted that map just a few miles east, you could go to my house. but sadly they chose to further west

also, in the point lookout expansion, if they had made that map the same size as teh original map, i think youd have been able to get to my college. but once again, they entice me, only to dash my hopes at the last.

So you are in Washington D.C.? I guess we all learn something new everyday.

Also maybe because they knew where your house and college was they decided not to put it in the game.

i think they just wanted to put as much wasted city as they could into their game, and PG county is all suburban, not really city-like

Unless you are in a zombie apocalypse or in a war where they get invaded. (Left 4 Dead/Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and Modern Warfare 2).

no, mine has 2 small windows and 2 doors in, one of which is strong enough that it might survive a zombie attack, but the door down from upstairs is hopeless
