Haterz, My humour sense is too outta roof for u guys.

Just Beat The Bioshock Infinite. Despite grin's spoiler, the ending was superb. (Y)

SPoILER Alert
One of the best endings I've seen in recent years. Movie-sque like story telling also contributed to the experience. Multi Universe concept reminded me bit of FF xiii-2. But Bioshock left bit more room to ponder about what really happened . Booker is Comstock. Anna is his daughter. That's cool but wasn't too clear on how multi universe really works. I think I will read into that.

Back to Sleeping Dogs and 2K13 for now. Any recommendation for next game?

The original Bioshock blew me away, but Infinite was thoroughly enjoyable throughout. I fell for "would you kindly" but I saw this ending coming a mile away.

I played the original Bioshock for like couple days but didn't bother finishing it mostly because I was into other games back then. I remember it being visually pleasing in the beginning but didn't like how gloomy it made me feel playing entirely in rooms with no lightings. Then got into Fallout 3. So Bioshock to me was pretty much forgotten until now.

There's no online. And there was a regular version with no DLC and a Limited Edition that came with some DLC.

If you wait for May 29th you can get the Sleeping Dogs Complete Pack for $13 from Amazon.

Base game was pretty balanced as far as the challenge goes. I heard the DLC might make it easier. I never got the urge to spend any extra money on it for the little that the DLC's offered.

Sleeping Dog is free right now if you are a PSN subscriber. Even hard copy should be easy to find at about 20 bucks these days.

I beat this game couple days ago on PS3. I don't think you'd want this game any easier than already is.

PSN+ is too expensive. I'd rather pay the $4 or something like that when it comes on sale for PC.

I considered getting a PSN but decided not worth it. Free games are pretty cool but I don't like those micro transaction that I will be tempted to make because PSN users get discount. I just prefer hard copies.

I don't know about in the states but Sleeping Dogs have been in $20 price range at a lot of places in Canada. Like this Bestbuy. I picked mine up from Walmart about a month ago. And I'd definitely sell mine to you if I could. LoL.

Yeah, personally I wouldn't have picked it up for $30 neither now that I have played this game. But at $12, can't go wrong imo.

Still spending countless hours on Skyrim. The DLCs and some of the latest mods certainly make it worth playing again.

If you're into deep games that offer an immersive experience with a lot of replay value, it's quite easy to rack up the hours.

Exactly, and Skyrim is by far the most incredibly deep gaming existence I've ever had.

Try SkyRe and all the mods that go with it. It adjusts Skyrim to a much more difficult setting.
