Retarded impossible to understand story - check.
Repetitive, non-expanding gameplay - check.
Annoying characters - check.
Detailed and massive world with nothing to do and nothing more than visual differences between cities - check.
Revealing the big twist right at the very start of the game - check.

It looks kind of like a sex toy, but it sounds like it'll have some cool features (including an arm strap so you don't throw it through your asspensive telly).

Playing Dragon Age Origins. It's really well written and has got pretty good production values. Obviously it owes a lot to Mass Effect, but the dialogue and exploration isn't nearly as ponderous as that game. And it rips off Tolkien and especially Jackson's movies at every turn. Seems to have a lot of depth though. :)

Thought I'd try out Final Fantasy 13 for a bit of nostalgia ( yes I really dug ff7-9)

A visual feast anyways so far.

You're braver than me. Those games just have too much Japanese rubbish for me to stomach.

I played a lot of that over summer when I was on holiday. It's an awesome game in its simplicity, especially when you get some good players around you.

Played more of Dragon Age today, the writing is really good, and the narrative is actually clear and emotionally engaging for a change. Some of the menus are a bit complicated, but you get on top of it after a while. I'll be including some discussion of the game in a new paper I'm writing.

So what do people think of Halo 3? I'm interested to see if there'll be a number 4, of course it won't be "Halo" but something with master chief. Apparently there'll be a new one coming out with the Xbox 720 in 2012, so... let the waiting begin.
