The only PS 3 game I've played Little Big Planet but I LOVED it. Of course, it's the type of game my 14 year old nephew hates. (He likes shooting and sports.)

Em loves the Star Wars Lego game.

Ditto Emmett. He's played them all and Star Wars and Harry Potter are his fav Lego games. Light sabers and spells really lend themselves to the game play and the worlds are just fun to be in.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Suzi, outside of the shooter issue, what are your tolerances for language, non-gun violence, etc? Also, any particular games or genres of games that you know CJ likes, or that his friends are into?

I'll scan our shelves tonight (and more importantly, get S. to do so, as he has a freaky encyclopedic knowledge of EVERY GAME EVER MADE FOR ANY GENERATION OF PLAYSTATION, ISTG.)

Can anyone recommend good PS3 games? I don't like first person shooter or GTA type games.

Wait, aren't you the one that liked Cash & Guns ?

I get tired of quests in my hack and slash games. I'm just there to dismember the orcs and goblins at the end of the day, not have to think.

Gah. Work is eating me up, starting with my bottom.

Guh.

The status is NOT quo.

I get tired of quests in my hack and slash games. I'm just there to dismember the orcs and goblins at the end of the day, not have to think.

I'm the complete opposite. I love the quests! I get bored when all I'm doing is hacking and slashing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

From the "huh...really?" file:

This morning my doctor sent me an online message. I tried to reply online as well, but it turns out the organization she's with wants me to pay them $60 a year for the privilege.

Yeah,I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Thing that is currently making me smile: Blog post on the Dallas Observer's website about Dallas being the 19th gayest big city according to Richard Florida, and all the comments I've read so far are people showing up saying, "'Cmon! We are totally gayer than that!"
