  RPGs and I

  Things aren't going well between me and RPGs, the last two I've played disappointed me with basically the same issue. They're both infested with bugs and glitches. The ones mentioned being The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind and now Dragon Age Origins, both are good games, but the glitches are drawing me away from them, I can't really decide which one's worse.
  
  Maybe Dragon Age is worse because the bugs and glitches aren't in-game, they actually don't let me play it, the screen keep closing when I reach battles and I have to keep restarting, it's frustrating, I've been trying to solve the problem with no success. I've installed all possible updates for the game and even windows and the problem continues, I never had problem even with Crysis. The bad news is that I already have 6 hours into the game, I wouldn't want to have to change for the Xbox 360 version now, but the problems are just getting worse and worse.
  
  Maybe developers shouldn't rush game launches, now I'm stuck with a game I can't play.

  Featured at GiantBomb!

  I've had a pleasant surprise recently, I logged in my GiantBomb account and found out that I had one of my reviews featured on the website. The review chosen was for Pro Evolution Soccer 2010. The picked reviews are shown in the first page for a few days, mine started at 24 December 2009 and soon will be replaced, but if you're quick enough you can still see me by going to Giant Bomb and scrolling down the page until it reaches the end.
