So MadWorld got sent back after about 4 days, and Red Faction: Guerilla is on its way to me. MadWorld just didn't really do anything for me, I tried to lose myself in the brainless violence and art style, but it just became too repetitive after a few levels. Who knew jamming a street sign through someone's neck could get repetitive? Well I guess we can thank MadWorld for that, at least. Mass Effect completely dominated my time during the break between Gamefly shipments, and now I have a save game with my Paragon character that doesn't have the mistakes I made the first time through. (I'm making this spoiler-free, since I know at least one person who reads this hasn't seen that part of the game yet). I have another character started, but I don't know how far I'll take that, and now I've got a ton of Fallout 3 DLC to play.

With the new Broken Steel add-on, the game can continue after the "ending", and corrects a simple mistake that made the choice at the end seem arbitrary and stupid. Why go into a deadly irradiated room and die for the good of all, when you can send your hulking super-mutant follower in for you, considering he's completely resistant to radiation? Anyway, I started that yesterday and am now plowing through Operation Anchorage as well. It's nice to be back using my main character in Fallout, I wasn't that big of a fan of the new one I had started a while back. I am such a chronic restarter, I swear.

Also in gaming news, Machinarium is now up for pre-order. I'll have to consider it, the screens and video look excellent.

Hopefully more updates soon, I want to get back to writing here!
