So Dark Messiah of Might and Magic turned out to be a big pile of repetitive poo.  I took advantage of Gamestop's seven-day return policy and figured I'd give this a try, since it was the same price used.  I want to like this game, but I'm forever getting stuck behind a corner or underneath a place the camera can't reach.  Instead of turning the wall invisible (or whatever) and letting me see myself through it, the devs decided that the better solution was completely blocking my vision.  The Simpsons Game, starrring this wall with Homer behind it.  It's making me miss Dark Messiah - at least I could see where I was going in that.  I like the way it faithfully recreates the look of The Simpsons, and some of the gags are pretty funny, but this camera scheme is just wretched.  I don't know what else I could trade it in for, though.

Camera system is wonky at times, but it's decent. PLAY THE MEDAL OF HONOR LEVEL

You know you can use that 7 day return policy to get cash back, right?

I just took Simpsons + The Darkness back and got COD4 GOTY for PS3.  A RL friend just got a PS3 + GTAIV + COD4 and wanted me to play with him, but I couldn't justify spending another $60 on the same game (already own it on 360), so I used the credit and paid the $15 difference.  Simpsons and Darkness were part of that B2G1 sale Gamestop ran last week, so I came out all right with the return.

I'll just Gamefly Simpsons.  I like parts of it and I can probably live with the camera playing through it once, but it does seem like more of a rental than an own.

Wow, I'm not trying to troll here, but I can definitely see the difference in graphics between the PS3 and 360 versions of COD4.  The up-close textures on PS3 are kinda janky, and overall it's fuzzier looking than the 360 version.  What happened there?

cod4 played on the strengths of both systems, textures are better on 360 but the AF is better on PS3, 360 stays @ 60fps more but the ps3 has much better smoke effects etc etc
