I've been playing that Braintraining thing for the last couple of weeks, it seriously rocks.

Yay for The Movies!

Though I'm surprised Ghost Recon picked up Game of the Year. I haven't really seen people excited about it, or even any mention of it being released.
And Oblivion didn't get a mention? Pah.

I've got Oblivion, it's good, but it's flaws and serious bugs destroy most of the fun sometimes.

Lego Star Wars & The Movies FTW!
I got the movies two days ago.

I stopped playing Oblivion when it became obvious that i'd have to run away from any fights to progress. I got to a certain point in the game, and it crashes without fail whenever i kill something.

I stopped playing Oblivion when this bug appeared that prevented me from walking. Just walking. I could jump and attack fine. Just couldn't walk anywhere.

I really gotta download the patch one of these days, I only put in 45 hours so far. :(

As for Ghost Recon winning... I never really paid much attention to it...

Yes, Oblivion crashes often, is buggy as hell, gets a corrupt save file sometimes (I have the legal version of it, don't get any ideas...), if you do a mistake you're stuck in it forever.

And the stupid battle system is crap whenever you have allies, because he/she always stands in front of you, making you hit he/she accidenly, which makes your allies get angry at you and killing you. This must've happened to me 6 times at least.

Sucks, because the game is really good. :(

Hmm, maybe I'll get my hands on Ghost Recon someday, looks nice.

EDIT: The problem of it crashing often IS NOT system specs: I've got a 7900GTKO video card,a decent AMD 3200+ processor, and 1gb RAM...

I've played Ghost Recon: AW before, but I didn't think it was any good. It seemed to me to be another of those one-man-army FPS games, but that you had a squad to control too.

I've only played the first Ghost Recon, and it certainly has a lot more strategy than your average FPS.

Ghost Recon is pretty much the only FPS I have a basic level of competence in.

Hmm, if it's as strategic as Swat 4 or more, I'm buying it!
