I've been doing the beta for a few months and im luke warm on it at the moment. def not a first day purchase.

I might try it out but I'm waiting for Diablo3. So in about 10 years I'll play it.

Bioshock 2 - Well done. But, I just couldn't get into another shooter at the moment.

Lost Planet 2 - Has some cool moments. I can see what the reviews were onto though. You end up fighting the controls quite a bit. Similar to Bioshock 2, tired of shooters.

Playing the most recent Prince of Persia. Seriously poor production. It's as if ubisoft farmed out the work to the lowest bidder. The play control is clunky, shallow and feels worse than the original xbox version. It's really pretty sad to see one of my favorite franchises get thrown out like a dead hooker.

Thanks for the tip. Removed it from my Q.

The Dragon Age 2 Trailer is out. I know it shows no actual game play, but if any of the cut scenes are as amazing as the trailer, this game will be amazing

Anyone picking up Halo: Reach today? I lost interest in the series after playing only part of Halo 2 so I have only seen 3 played by someone else and none of ODST. I only started looking into it a few days ago and I think the ability to edit multiplayer maps is going to be a huge thing to keep this game going.

I thought editing maps has been available since Halo 3?

[silverx2]

i never got into halo, i dont think im going to start either after not being great at COD with a controller.

im looking at civ 5 as the next potential purchase.

[Genesis F5]

We should all install the Battlefield 1942 demo again. We were all pretty good at that.

I thought editing maps has been available since Halo 3?

Shows exactly how little I know of the series since the first then . I just watched all the xbox live videos last night and the one on the multiplayer is what caught my eye. The editor is pretty nice from what I saw. They even have 2 of their maps available to load up and look how they built them and all the inner workings(even edit).

COD: Black OPS is what I really have my eye on as a next purchase but this might hold me over. Never got into Red Dead as much as I thought I would. I might give it another go since the trade in value is probably nothing...

[silverx2]

i can say with almost certainty that I wont be buying another COD game, at least not till i can use a keyboard and mouse

[silverx2]

another big reason why im not a fan of games that dont allow dedicated servers:

APB which came out this past june is officially closing up shop next month, less then 3 whole months from release and everyone that bought the game will not be able to ever play it again.

[WannaBe_80z]

I guess the next COD they are teaming up with some game server company to host games. Something like $.60/month for unranked matches for each player.

[silverx2]

So i bought Civ 5, i had checked out the system requirements and everything looked good so i pulled the trigger. Well it came out today and apparently when i read dual core, i misread that it said core 2 duo so my processor doesnt meet minimum requirements.

epic fail. gonna have to tweak settings when i get home to get it to work:-/

[silverx2]

so i got it working and sat down to play a little, then around 300 turns later i'm invading Germany and its 1 in the morning...

[jAQUAN]

Anyone heard of this minecraft.net game? My boss is heavily into it atm. Basically a dungeon crawler with legos. I might have to check it out.

[silverx2]

I played it but i guess I played it wrong. i got bored really really fast.

[jAQUAN]

Yeah I think you have to be into graph-porn to dig this type of game. I'm not a big fan of making sand castles no one can admire.
