Sorry about missing the MotD yesterday. Too much food and a long day of shopping wore us out.
I managed to get a new graphics card, a Geforce GTX 275. The bad news is that my current power supply is so weak that the PC does not even want to boot, so now I need to look for a more powerful PSU. The joys of upgrading. Luckily, the Black Friday sales continue online on Cyber Monday, so I should be able to hunt down a good deal on that as well.
Namco Bandai's God Eater looks like an attempt to piggyback on the success of Capcom's Monster Hunter in Japan, as the action rpg has replaced dinosaurs with gods and demons sent down to purify Earth. Featuring plenty of customization options and not only includes a solo mode but also 4 player co-op.
