Real keen to check out Mafia II when I can afford to pick it up.

Yeh man that rules. Fuck some of it's tough!

Gonna have to check out The Saboteur seeing as it's available on PC sounds good.

I enjoyed Mafia II, but there are some things you should be aware of before spending your money on it.

Firstly, although it looks like an open world "sandbox" game, like GTA IV etc, it really isn't. It is in fact very linear. Sure, you can drive/walk around the city, but there is virtually nothing to do. Rob some shops, steal a car, kill some bystanders and get into police chases. That is about it. Really, it is meant to be played through in a linear, mission based way.

Secondly, it is quite short. Maybe 10 hours or less on the hardest difficulty?

You spend a lot of that time driving around. You often have a long drive to a mission, sometimes a short drive between sites, and then another long drive home. There is more driving than shoot outs.

Jimmy's Vendetta DLC adds quite a bit more play time, but they sting you another $13 USD for that.

It also requires a pretty beefy system if you want to play it on maximum settings on the PC.

I did enjoy the game - I liked the storyline which was very much a compendium of Mafia movie cliches. But I think it is probably not what everyone expects when they play it.

Haven't played the first one and only been playing this one for a couple of hours.

A little disappointed tho. Thought it was going to be a Gladiator vs. Resident Evil kind of game. But it's just your usual zombie survival story. And not a very good story so far. But the gameplay seems alright at least.

I like what I've played of it so far.The different combo weapons are really fun to play around with.Plus theres alot more to explore on this game the first.


But I've been playing Dead Rising 2, Halo Reach,and Rouge Warrior.


Chrono I've been thinking about getting Limbo for awhile now.Can you tell me a little more about it?

Sure, the weapons are fun.

But the game is quite repetitive. It's pretty much the same you do again and again. Out rescuing survivors in the city. And in between is the story. Sure, you can explore, but there's always the time limit, which sucks.

And also, the way you fight the zombies reminds me of God Of War and old Amiga Beat-em-up games such as Double Dragon. No creepy atmosphere, just kick ass action. Satisfying to some, disappointing to me.

Just finished "The Saboteur" (Seriously, play it motherfuckers)

Right now, when I'm not playing 2p on the Megadrive collection, I've been checking out Saints Row 2. Yknow, I wish GTA would take a page here and consider making some actual sequels - it's worked really well in this case. I'm enjoying it thus far and it's got a GREAT soundtrack. Still a bit arcadey in terms of driving and shooting but very fun, and the explosions look phenomenal. Cool how the storyline just continues, I look forward to seeing some familiar faces from the first.

Medal of Honor

The single player is alright I guess.Nothing really new about it.But the multiplayer is just god awful.It's very laggy and all people do is camp and snipe.Every map is made to snipe from one side to the other.
