It is a post-apocalyptic survival game where you play as a man trying to escort a teenager 15-20 years or so after a plague. It is made by the developers of the Uncharted series. You can check out a cool gameplay video here...

Not really an escort mission per se. She serves mostly as an AI partner like Alex in Half-Life.

I'm enjoying the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode in BL2 so far. God, I love this game.

Anyone see this yet?

I got that Battle Block Theater game too and just realized it has online modes. My son and I challenge you and your son to some arena games!

I like playing gamez. Still playing Battlefield 3 and NHL '12 after a year and a half. Civilization 4 takes up the rest of my time that I'm willing to devote to gaming.

I like having a couple games that I can dig into over a year or two instead of going through a ton of them.

Guacamelee is really fun. Challenging in an old school way.

Now I'm going to have to look that one up. Speaking of old school I had a lot of fun with Pacman DX a few years ago. Also Megaman 9 was a throwback, just like the nintendo games and it was hard as fuck. I couldn't even make it to a boss.
