Dude, no At least in Penumbra you can kill the fucking things. In Amnesia you've got a sanity meter and you have no choice but to run away from your enemies. I haven't even started the game I'm so scared!

Amnesia put me to sleep. Must give Penumbra a go, see if that excites me anymore!

Did my goal for the weekend and beat Gears of War 3
Super excited for that. Afterwords I put in "Import Tuner Challenge" just to chill and race a bit. Can't decide what to play next...

- Restart Fable 2
- Restart Final Fantasy XIII
- Finish Perfect Dark
- Finish Banjo Kazooie
- Buy something new

Mass Effect 3 tomorrow, then I'm getting my ps2 so I can play through Final Fantasy 10 for it's anniversary, and Need For Speed Underground 2 for the nostalgia/chill-out racing fun.

On that note, can anyone recommend any racing games current gen that would be of the caliber of the above? I know Burnout is good, but I'm looking for a casual racing affair and I've yet to play anything as fun as NFSU2 that was in actual cars.

Import Tuner Challenge isn't too bad. If you ever played Tokyo Xtreme Racer series, it's made by the same people, and pretty much the same game. You can get it for pretty cheap used at Gamestop, but farely hard to find.

Burned myself out on a bunch of games, so just playing the hell out of FIFA 12.

So you wouldn't be interested in the Forza games? 'Cause you should.

I've not heard much about them, what are they like? Are they more arcadey or...?

John the Drummer: Not an easy game to find alright, but it is cheap, and my local Gamestop are buddies, so they're going to keep any copies that come in for me so I can have a look!

Thanks for the recommendations bros!

Forza is super realistic. They are fun once you get the hang of them.

Try playing the Dirt series. They are releastic with a arcady feel sometimes.

Forza are pretty realistic. Forza 3 has settings to make it feel more arcade-y and easier if you're not into that, but it's realistic in the sense that you do a "season" of different races on different race courses with cars that you buy and customize. Not arcade-y in the sense of Need For Speed.
