No, I'm going to resist. I have FF13 coming out in less than a week. My exam is done in mid may. I'll still be in the mood for baseball after that so I can wait to buy this game. I don't need another time suck away from studying.

I can hold out 2 months, I can do it.

Manipulating women...now THAT's hard. Probably because most woman have no clue what they like.

baseball games get dull IMO because the season is so long and it's not like you can use shorter quarters like in football to make games go quicker

seasons in baseball are 162 games of 9 innings, bleh
You can usually simulate games if you're ok not going 162-0. Achievements, IIRC, required you to play at least 15 without simulating.

2k does suck, in general, though.

Heh, I understand. I don't play many games, but I'm itching for FFXIII. However, I think I'll wait for my bonus in six weeks or so before I buy a PS3 and FFXIII (isn't it supposed to be better quality? (and I can use this as my excuse to get a PS3; my wife just rolls her eyes when I want to get ANOTHER console to go with my XBox, Wii, and PS2 ).

Except mine's in April.... I haven't played all that many games over the past year or so, but FF XIII will be the exception, no doubt.
