Running video games (and consoles) thread

FIFA 12 might be the most enjoyable franchise mode I've ever played. Just great from the youth player development to the way your team reacts and freaks out on you.

Chris Creamer (and ESPN) have some screenshots from MLB 12: The Show. And they're freaking awesome. Almost makes want to convert to PS3.

OK, got Arkham City and The Old Republic for Christmas. Has anyone else gotten SWTOR? Trying to decide which server I should join.

In my tour of old games, I just beat Uncharted 2 today (GameFly game). I'm on to Valkyria Chronicles, and then whatever game I get sent after that from GameFly. I imagine by that point, FF13-2 will be out.

Doubt they bring it to consoles. MMOs on consoles generally are disastrous.

Finally got Madden 12. I swear, it feels like EA switches the gameplay mechanics every year. Just the way the players move and all that jazz.

Maybe this is just a glitch on my end, but something caught my eye today while playing NCAA 12.

Where it lists a team's conference and national championships, it didn't have any SEC titles listed for Alabama -- even though I'm pretty sure the Tide won the title in 2009.

Anyone else notice this?

DC Universe actually did quite well on PS3 etc. But I think you're right about them not releasing it to the consoles.

You're right, I just read up on it. I remember on launch that lag made it unplayable to some folks. But like with Xbox, it already costs $50 a year for Live, adding a monthly fee for a game can be a turn off.

Ahhh, I'm so close to finally prestiging in MW3. For some reason it's taking longer than previous installments for me. Then again, all I play is TDM.

Haven't touched MW3 in weeks. Very disappointed in the installment, especially after MW2 was one of my favorite games of all time. Maybe I'm just over the war games...
