After about an hour of downloading and installing, I finally got my hands on some good ol’ torso ripping and sword cleaving action. I fired up the PS3 so I could download the Mortal Kombat demo. The past week was a light gaming week for me. "Andre look! Big Show is right ahead." "If he is, he will be dead." Colefacekilla I have wanted a difficult baseball game, and finally have it. The challenge of the game is what really keeps bringing me back. The game rewards you for specific tasks on top of getting hits, driving in runs, etc. Trying to get out of the minors and into the majors is a grind. Most of my time is being spent in the career mode. I also have been playing an unhealthy amount of Major League Baseball 2K11. The tease for Gears 3 at the end was amazing! I can’t wait for the finale. I love the sense of urgency Gears creates as the game progresses. Hands-down, riding the Brumak at the end of the game was the highlight of the series thus far.
