First Post!

Hello there! So glad you're still with us. During the past four days I managed to get all kinds of gaming in; continuing with Fallout 3, building towards a castle in A Kingdom for Keflings, while also getting started with Condemned 2: Bloodshot. The first mission in Condemned 2 sets quite the tone, I'm guessing this is going to be a really messed up game. Since it's not the most recent game (and thus cheap), I don't even remember the reviews or know if this is supposed to be better, worse or about the same compared to the first game (which I really liked).
