Uncharted 3. A heavenly game, like UC2 was.

Killing people all over the globe in Modern Warfare 3.
Traveling the skies and the land in Skyward Sword (and not suffering with the controllers at all, I'd like to add).
Running errands for crazy scientists' brains-in-a-jar in Fallout: New Vegas' Old World Blues.
That is all.

Every single review of Skyward Sword I've read so far has unremittingly praised the motion controls as being fluid and incredible, and showing that when used right, they can be a truly amazing way to play. Unfortunately my Wii CPU is on the blink, and it's too old to have motionPlus, so when I do get around to buying Skyward Sword, it'll be a pretty expensive purchase! :p

I'm not playing anything. I took a week off and traveled, did some photography and read two novels. And now I face a staggering cliff of gaming possibilities. Skyrim, Ico/Shadow Pack, Diablo 3 beta, Blackwell Series, and Alice 2. I'm just glad I resisted buying Batman AC or Serious Sam BFE.

Still working GTA 4. I re-played and beat the original Earthsiege games, but the mouse won't work in Starsiege which is a bit of a bummer. I also beat GTA 4's original campaign and am now hopping back and forth between both of the episodes. Haven't got that far into Tony yet, but the missions so far have been delightfully crazy, and have a lot more variety than the repetitive "go to location X, have shootout, go home" missions of the base game. L&D also manages to be entertaining in spite of how massively it screws up biker culture ( no territory rocker and wearing the colors in cars....seriously?). The bikes were fun before but the improved handling, new bikes, and new weapons make them an absolute blast to use.
Plus I've got a nice collection of "no fucking way" videos, including one where Niko survives jumping out of a helicopter at near-max altitude and causing a motorcycle crash that propels Johnny to a landing about 2/3 of the way up the empire state building.
Also starting Psychonauts, and Its still amazing how much of a cut above that game is.
Rest of my agenda: I still can't try Skyrim due to the STEAM activation requirement, so I'm going to try to beat GTA 4, then beat the Baldur's Gate series. I've never managed to do it so far.

Makarov is dead. That is all.

What do you propose? That you should have to change clothes every time you're about to hop into a car? This is an instance I'm glad they sacrificed accuracy for more fluid gameplay.

Simple, he takes a half second to pull off his vest before sitting down.
Also, it looks like I will have a solution to play Skyrim. Pity its not a legit sale, but there simply is no way for me to use a "legit" copy of the game out here.

It'll take a bit longer than half a second man. Also when he gets out of the car he'll have to put it on again. Which is all fine and well until you get out of the car because it's on fire and people are shooting at you and then the character pauses for a few seconds to put on his west while the car is blowing up and people are shooting him to death and you'll have a lot of angry gamers fuming about Rockstar's idiotic design choices.
