Star Trek Online will be the first MMO i've played since Uru: Ages Beyond Myst.

Yes, I realise how sad that is.
You know what's even sadder? I've never played an MMO. Nor have any intentions to.

I recently played Bioshock and thought it was really good (but I haven't finished it) so I might get Bioshock 2.. I'm undecided though, I don't like the idea of playing as a Big Daddy

No bargain round up for Bioshock 2?

$78 at kmart, $68ish at zavi.com (today only?) or Jbs 3 for 1 seem to be the deals of the moment.

Looks like this month is the start of lots of awesome games that will make it hard for me to not break my 1 game a fortnight rule.


Bioshock 2 and AvP will have to wait a while as Heavy Rain is my next purchase.

For those who care, Star Trek Online has been released early - I just picked mine up.

I've never played an MMO either and I don't particularly plan on playing one either.
