I do feel it's time for a moments sobriety in this whole gamer points debacle.
We're in the busiest time of the year for games. We're inundated with excellent games and as DaveyP and I have said we've so many really good games on our shelf we can't justify buying Prince of Persia. Why Oh Why, and someone please answer this are some of my friends playing Space Chimps, cheating their way through GRAW (looking at you Haly) and then finally the nail in the coffin HSM3 Senior Year DANCE .. Nokkon! C'mon now, points are nice but when people are playing games for their points over anything else!

Who said anyone was playing games just for points?
 There's plenty of games that despite easy points, I can't bear to play as I'd rather have fun  X-Men being the perfect example.

It's on my rental list for the simple reason that I want it 1k'd so I can finally say I've done it. It wasn't the worst game I've played to be fair, but certainly not something I'd pay for looking back on it.

I bought LOST cheap for my and the mrs to play through together as we've both enjoyed the series and thought an adventure together would be fun. She turned to me after a couple of hours and said "This is awful" and she wasn't wrong. We finished it as it didn't take long (and I don't like uncompleted games on my profile) but I wouldn't wish this on anyone else. Heh, and it wasn't meant to be directed at you Haly; (sorry!) I saw Nokkon playing HSM3 and thought a new low had been reached but after trading messages I'm realising I'm just an old git!
