@Zoso ah cross-platform is every gamers dream but it just doesn’t seem to be any nearer to reality.

Splendid post; I’m still enjoying Champions, just dropping in and mostly playing solo for a bit here and there, I joined up with the Rock, Paper, Spandex guild, but don’t often bump into people of the right level (the drawback of just hopping in and out for the odd half hour). Borderlands looks really good, might well pick that up, but would be so much better with PC/XBox cross-platform play! DJ Hero doesn’t really look my thing, though might be a bit of a giggle, and I’ve got plenty of guitaring still to do in Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero 5 (plus Lego Rock Band and Band Hero out soon too!)

I’m with you on the gaming stance. I am not tied to an MMO sub. for a while now but have gone against my ‘no beta’ stance and signed up with the STO closed beta today. From seeing it at the Eurogamer Expo, I was impressed to want to give it a try but I may still not try it on release.

I get more out of the single-player element of most games now, than I do from the multiplayer but maybe Borderlands will change my opinion, now that I have a copy!

Hear hear! Oddly enough it’s a decision I have to reaffirm now and then. There’s always the insidious tendency to end up playing because others want/expect you to or because you think you should or because you’re paying your $15 a month so you’d better get your money’s worth… or whatever.

But at the end of the day, if it’s not fun then why bother logging on?
