    Definitely. The campaign is one of the best I've played in a shooter, comparable to games like Call of Duty 4, and apparently it has good online play. I've only played multiplayer at friends' houses, but it was a great game in local multiplayer 2. For that price it's a steal.

    Both are great games. I havn't played the expanisons, but if you're going to get one, get Broken Steel apparently, as you can keep playing after you beat the game and it raises the level cap. You probably should get both, then pick up the add-on discs for both (Not sure what Fallout's comes with, but I think that the Borderlands one comes with Zombie Island and either the Underdome or General Knoxx. Can't remember which).

    Btw, any way to skip the sex scene in Red Dead Redemption? That's the one thing that's really keeping me from playing this game, since it looks AWESOME, but as a family rule, no nudity/sex. So if there's any way to avoid or skip it, that'd be great.

    Yeah, that's the one thing keeping me from getting Red Dead Redemption too. :(
    I don't get why they push that on people so hard.

    Anyway- PoP: TFS is pretty dang sweet! I've played... 4ish hours and it's been a lot of fun! Everywhere has been complaining about combat, but it's been my favorite part so far.
    There's nothing like jumping on top of someone, stabbing them in the throat, jumping on someone else, hitting them to the ground, stabbing them, then kicking a big group of them off a cliff, then slamming a guy against the wall and stabbing him through the head.

    Basically, it's the coolest combat I have ever played in a T rated game. I feel freaking epic after playing it.

    As of now the platforming has been fun, but not very difficult. It'll kick up soon though... I hope.

    And in all the reviews ppl complained about graphics and the story, but neither are that bad!

    All in all, if you're a PoP fan, check it out for sure. :D

    I haven't found a sex scene yet, but I'm only 5 hours or so into the game (it says 9, but at least 3 of those were multiplayer). The language though can get pretty rough, and one of the missions involves saving a chick before she gets raped (stated implicitly, though), so yeah... Not really a family game.

    I asked my friend who beat the game and apparently there's a sex scene where it shows some nudity... Only thing really keeping me from the game. I have Chinatown Wars, and I've been playing Bioshock and Fallout 3, and overall I just really don't even care much for language anymore. As long as I'm not blasting the TV no one really gives a crap.

    If youh had to choose just 2 of these which would they be?
    (I'm a new PS3 owner and need help!)

    -Uncharted 2
    -God of War 2
    - Red Dead Redemption
    -Demon's Soul

    I also have a 360, which is why I am only buying exlcusives for the PS3 except for Red Dead which may be an exception.

    Please give me your opinions!

    I'm thinking Uncharted 2 and Red Dead also, due to Uncharted having multiplayer which will last longer probaly than GOW3.

    And I already picked up most the greatest hits exclusives including LBP. :p
    Just looking for 2 "newer" games.

    Watched some reviews/gameplay on MAG, wasn't really feeling it, also because it's only online, makes me a little hesitant.

    All very understandable decisions! and yes the multiplayer in Unchartered 2 is amazing, but it is with friends.

    Mag is a good game, but yeah the only online is scary. But its quite fun to pay 128 vs 128 battles :D

    I believe Uncharted 2 and Red Dead will be my final choice! God of War seems to be dropping at the moment so I'll wait for that, as for Mag, it may be a purchase but not as of yet.

    Thanks for your opinion!

    Looking for a good rpg for pc, I'm looking at The Elder scrolls 4: oblivion since I can get the game of the year edition for 20$. Any other good ones I should look at? It has to be t-rated so no fallout 3.

    I've been playing 3d dot game heroes lately. old school zelda fans should check this one out. it's for PS3, bargain priced.

    OOohhh... bummer, no Fallout 3. One of the best RPG's I've ever played... You can skip the language by hitting probably enter before they actually say the word by skimming the captions of what they say... The gore... well, just don't pick the bloody mess perk. Other than that, there's nothing bad about the game.

    And Oblivion is a great game. Definitely a good alternative to Fallout, although Fallout is MUCH better.

    The Bloody Mess perk took the fun out of it for me. No longer were decapitations a pleasant surprise.

    Yeah, but who needs decapitations when you can get the entire body to pretty much explode?

    I have a $25 Best Buy gift card.

    Are there are any good Teen rated xbox 360 games (including arcade) I can get for $30 or below? I kinda want to get Halo Wars or a point card for Castle Crashers or an iTunes gift card.

    Never knew you were restricted to Teen rated games, seeing as you play Modern Warfare 2 and Gears.

    Luckily, I've been playing T-rated games for a while, so I know some good ones:

    Lost Odyssey (only if you're into RPG's, if not it won't change your mind)
    Street Fighter IV
    Soul Calibur IV
    Alan Wake (although it's gotta be over $30 since it's new)
    Skate/Skate 2
    Any Guitar Hero/Rock Band game (providing you have the controls)
    Stuntman: Ignition
    Burnout Revenge
    Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

    Both Assassin's Creed 1 (2 had one unskippable scene in it) and Devil May Cry 4 were rated M, but there's nothing bad other than some blood in it. I'd let a 14/15 year old play it no prob.

    I think that's a good enough list.
