I recently picked up a PS3 in no small part so that I could play Killzone 2. I like K2, but the controls are terrible. I am not talking about the lag in movement or the "weight" given to the weapons that I have read many people complain about, I am talking about the controller mapping. What the hell? I HATE games that make you aim by pressing the right analog stick (I am looking at you too, Frontlines and Rainbow 6). In the heat of battle, I will invariably press the stick again when I fire the weapon, thus, taking the weapon out of aim mode and spraying bullets everywhere.

Holy crap is this game awesome.  I downloaded the demo a couple of weeks ago and played it 20-30 times, but it got more and more frustrating when the pre-set ending date of 1250AD would hit, especially as I was one move away from storming a capital city of a rival civ.  Well, with the release of the retail game, that issue is resolved.  However, ironically, I still feel the same, though less intense, feeling upon ending a game.  I played through a game on King difficulty and won a cultural victory, but I kind of hated to win as soon as I did.  I was in the process of crushing a Spanish city

Gatsu Godhand made me the amazing signature below. I know that anyone in the AoW forum or that ever goes to the Gears forum will see it a ton, but I thought I would share it with the rest of you.  The panther logo is from one of the decks of the skater Natas Kaupas (the original inspiration for my gamertag), but Gatsu was able to replace "Santa Monica Airlines" in the banner with "Art of War."  Once again, thank you Gatsu.

I have been meaning to post a few photos of my trip to Atlanta since I got back, but just haven't gotten around to it.  Most of the pictures that I took are really only meaningful to a lifelong Braves fan, but I thought that the following can give some insight into the trip.
