Assassins special ability is a bit weak and kinda dull... The whole melee approach just doesnt really work either and isnt worth the effort. The sniper tree is ridiculously powerful though. Jack up the crit damage and he can just sit back doing insane damage.

I actually have an assassin and mechromancer that I play, love both but probably play the mechromancer more (Deathtrap is soooo badass!)... When I play 4 player with friends though I use the assassin. The damage is insane with sniper and shotguns. :cool:

You're totally right; I'll send out my Death Trap during a battle and he'll just flail around with his "special ability" ("special" being the operative word). ;)

Considering that this is a game where the Big Bads have bigger and bigger guns, melee is almost useless - I'm usually the Sniper Queen (I love shotguns too - heehee - Just got a corrosive sniper and a fire shotgun, both of which make me a very very happy girl), but I'll give him that advice. He just found a pretty sweet grenade mod, though, that twirls and spits fire when it hits the ground. He's kicking some ass with that.

Most satisfying thing in the game is sniping 'bots...

Which tree are you using? The Assassins ability gets pretty strong if you go the Cunning route and chuck Kunai which not only cause damage but elemental effects AND adds Marked for Death for extra damage not to mention your decoy exploding for shock damage.

Have played around with all the trees and to be fair the Cunning tree & Kunai are sweet and the Kunai ability does make the assassin ability alot stronger and more useful, but right now I have a crap load of points dumped into the sniper tree, which I totall love. ~28k damage purple jacobs sniper + The Bee is insane single shot damage and switch over to shotguns for bosses or up close.

Just got my collector's retail copy of the Walking Dead game so the next time my XBox fires up it'll be spinning that bad boy.

Just finished the first chapter and a half of it and I LOVE it. The gameplay is rudimentary point and click stuff (I recommend anybody used to adventure games at all use the minimal UI) but the story is really good and most of the voice acting is as well. Seems to be ramping up even quicker now, I'm excited. Oh, and Glenn.

^^ Sounds like I'm going to have to check that out.

The fiance got me Dead Island on the PS3 for Christmas; this is my first playthrough and it's pretty entertaining. Stunning graphics
