Umm.\u00a0 I am not sure. I think I bought it because I fell victim to the hype.\u00a0 I like the idea of the creepy, supernatural story game,\u00a0 but I might have been a bit hasty in buying it.\u00a0 I have yet to take it out of the plastic, so I &#8216;could&#8217; take it back.\u00a0 Though more likely I will give it a spin this weekend.\u00a0 That is if I can take time away from stopping cattle rustlers and horse thieves.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time again for another addition of &#8220;What I&#8217;ve Been Playing&#8221;.\u00a0 This edition&#8217;s guests are Red Dead Redemption, World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons Online, and Alan Wake.\u00a0 Although Alan Wake probably won&#8217;t make it, since he is still wrapped in plastic.
