Mortenzen, a giveaway would be a great idea, actually...if I ever finish any of these games!

I finished Batman on X360; now I'm taking a deeper dive into it, exploring more, solving more Riddler thingies, etc on PC. And man, it looks SO MUCH BETTER on PC. I realize the 360 is a 4 year old machine, but holy moly, time has not been good to its graphics!

As for MW2 and DA:O, I love them both. Wow. MW2 has some seriously gut-wrenching missions, yeah, but it's simply amazing. Sure, it's twisted and disturbing, but so, I presume, is modern warfare. DA:O is tough, but I love RPGs and I love real, honest-to-god tactical games (most real-time "strategy" games are reflex and agility tests, not tactical or strategic in any way). DA:O is right up my ally.

It's kinda sad, in fact, that an RPG is providing the best tactical experience I've enjoyed since Dawn of War II. For me, about 90% of RTS games are SiNOs (Strategy in Name Only)!

Definitely finish Batman:AA. It's not as long as you think. The percentage meter isn't a true reflection of how long you have left to play. I was pretty surprised when the ending came, as I was expecting a bit more. In any case, that game is absolutely wonderful. It never felt repetitive or boring.

Tried Modern Warfare 2 for a little bit, but didn't.... get it. I dunno. Just not my thing any more.

Right now I'm about 4 hours into Dragon Age: Origins. The jury's still out on this one. I hope it gets better as right now the learning curve still seems pretty steep!
