      <description><![CDATA[<p>
	Just started two games, on the PC - Metro 2033 and Saints Row the Third.</p>
<p>
	Purchased these as part of the recent THQ Humble Bundle.</p>
<p>
	Haven't played Metro 2033 past the first cut scene yet, but the first couple of SR3&nbsp;missions are a real blast - well recommended!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>
	Playing L.A. Noire at the moment. &nbsp;Only have a few missions to go.</p>
<p>
	Overall an enjoyable game. &nbsp;It isn't as engrossing as the GTA series, but is fun in its own right.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>
	Minor pause from playing Saints Row 2.</p>
<p>
	Currently playing the Battlefield 3 beta, on Xbox 360.&nbsp; Thus far I have played about 2 hours on the beta map, Operation Metro.</p>
<p>
	Thoughts of the game thus far:</p>
<ol>
	<li>
		Eye candy and attention to detail is excellent.&nbsp; Watching another players red-dot sign wander around the screen is brilliant.</li>
	<li>
		Only four solider classes is OK.</li>
	<li>
		Overall player movement in the game feels less fluid than Battlefield 2.</li>
	<li>
		Prone is excellent, although it allows for copious camping.</li>
	<li>
		Being able to vault over obstacles is handy, but can cause combat issues as the animation sequence takes some time (as it would in real life).&nbsp; I think this detracts a little bit from game play.</li>
</ol>
<p>
	I'll give it a few more hours and might also download the PC beta in order to help with a final decision - purchase the game on Xbox 360 or PC...</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>
	Although I have a large backlog of games that I have bought but not yet played, I am currently playing through Saints Row 2.</p>
<p>
	Decided to play this as I felt like playing a GTA style game, but have already completed GTA IV.</p>
<p>
	Thus far I am enjoying it, although I am only in the early stages of the game.&nbsp; As many reviews have said, it is similar to the GTA series but has it's own differences, some good and others bad.&nbsp; Numerous places in the game so far have suffered with series FPS issues, with a number of times the frame rate dropping down into very low numbers, which is a bit disappointing considering that the Xbox 360 has been around for quite a while now.</p>
