It's ok for psychiatrists to prescribe all forms of mood enhancing drugs with a myriad of negative side effects when patients complain about the everyday stresses of life (anger, frustration, anxiety, depression, loneliness).
Not to mention they're essentially highly educated drug pushers for the big pharmaceutical companies nowadays.
But if people start finding non-prescription induced ways to enjoy themselves through videogames it must be akin to ta...
Obviously the author has never done any coke because I play a lot of games and used to due coke on weekends and they're nothing alike.

GOW3 offers a fair and fun platinum.
I like relatively easy to medium difficulty trophies that make me do things in the game that I never would have thought of doing.

I wish my girlfriend played videogames. She tries to make me happy but doesn't know how to control 3D worlds. In FPS games she just stared at the ground and spun in circles lol.
If you haven't played Red Dead Redemption there's a major spoiler in the article.
In fact there's spoilers for a lot of games.
All I know is that all these people saying they don't want new consoles for 3-5 years shouldn't EVER complain about graphics or having only 24 people in Battlefield etc.
This is what you want.
I'd love a new gen of consoles now.
Kinect has no games.
If a troll makes negative comment that is true is he still a troll?
Kinect has no games.
Reading about how great Battle3 is is about as satisfying as reading about some other guy gettinh a BJ.
I need to experience it in person myself!
That would be excellent.
