Wait what? Shields? How was is different then any other game with regenerative health that encourages you to sit behind a wall for seven seconds? You know like cod. Or borderlands. Because they beep very loudly when they're gone. Oh wait, in MW2 your guy breathes really hard after taking a few bullets. So whatever.

I thought Dummy-en loved the riot shield. My life is a lie.

Well, I didn't like it years ago when played halo/halo 2 at a buddy's house. It made it difficult to get kills against much more skilled players and get into the game.... which could be a good thing for a whole bunch of highly skilled players I guess but it sucked for me...a newbie. More recently I've obviously fallen in love with low TTK.
The difference between shield and CoD bloody screen should be pretty obvious...it is an extension of TTK.

Health is low in Halo. Shields are High. Therefore, in this case, I hate shields.

Yeah, I think Borderlands/ ME are exceptions to the rule simply because I like my RPG enemies with some meat on their bones before I take them down.

Health is low in Halo. Shields are High. Therefore, in this case, I hate shields. Health = Shields. Not in the way you're thinking I'm thinking about it, maybe. Health is a catch-all term for all hit-points. I'd call the mechanic itself not 'health' but 'vitality' or whatever to differentiate it.

I actually like games with relatively high health. It becomes a game of aiming skill or intelligent attrition.
But it wouldn't make sense if FPS games did it.

What? There are plenty of shooters with high health. *Arcade styled FPS games. I feel like cod would've been a lot more enjoyable (for me) if everyone had double the health they do currently with any 1 shot rifles being neck/head/chest one shots only. And pump action shotguns do 50% more damage.

XBox 360 had a week of "ultimate sales", and I picked up the following impressive list of titles:
The Orange Box: $4.99 Portal 2: $9.89 Skyrim: $9.99 Red Dead Redemption: $7.99 Batman: Arkham City: $4.99 Fallout 3: $4.99
That's 10 games (Orange Box has 5 games in it) with ~$45.
If you own an XBox One or XBox 360, you should follow Major Nelson on Twitter for deals like these.

PSN Flash Sale with games for $1. I tossed down a buck for Gotham City Imposters, which looked like it might be fun - if anyone else is interested in partying up and giving it a whirl, let me know.

A game is cheaper outside of the US than inside the US?? I think the Microsoft XBL prices sometimes don't factor in the exchange rate so I could pay £10 for something while you pay $10. I think that happened with Skyrim but I'm not sure. It does suck though.
