Some more footage would be nice. I can't see them changing the 'floaty' jumping style. I think the Advance games were similar.

I'm balancing on the 3 mill mark barely. Probably can't take a major barrage of deaths. Been playing Knoxx with 2 other mates and it is so rock hard on the 2nd playthrough. We just drive through the roads, sod fighting anything it's suicide.

The last I heard of Ep 3 it was set in the Antarctic and involved Aperature Science. I can't even remember how Ep 2 ended it was so long ago. Portal 2 would be very much appreciated too. Oh and Counter-strike.

That's quite interesting. Would they bring Shepard back to life...again?? I really don't see how unless some Collectors made off with him before the explosion, unlikely though. It'd take a lot of effort to do Shepards storyline and this unknown characters storyline as well. Jokers not really a combat person.

Sega Rally, Sega Megadrive Ultimate Collection, Devil May Cry 4 and Street Fighter 4. I know what you're going to say that some of them aren't shitty. The only decent one really was SFIV, but i'm not a fan of fighters so :p

I like the way we're assuming it'll be a happy ending , what if the reapers don't get beaten and just own everyone again...

Got this on Saturday, been playing it pretty solidly since. I'm enjoying it though I think it's a lot more action packed than the original. There are some great set pieces but the atmosphere seems to have taken a step back. Just doesn't seem to be many moments that have actually freaked me out. The stories pretty good though I miss Ryan. I basically started it on Hard and jesus it really is. Mainly because there's so little ammo and money around the place. I had to give up fighting the Big Daddies in one section simply because there was no point getting the little sister as i'd never have been able to defend her. That's something which I was concerned about when I first heard it and it has proven to be quite annoying at times. The online portion was fun but lag city. Shame really as it has a lot of potential. Overall not bad, considering I traded in 4 shitty games for it.

Yeh but the online is a bit of a farce and for a game, which is multi-player centric, it's a pretty bad oversight on the part of the developers. I do like it because i'm an out and out fanboy but if I wasn't I probably would be as unimpressed as most people. I'm still liking the single player, it's got a good atmosphere to it. The online is a really mixed bag. It hardly ever connects ranked matches and considering you can only get XP in those I doubt i'll ever unlock the skins/achievements. The player matches can be good but only if there's a small amount of people (around 8). Anymore and it's lag central. If they couldn't handle more than that why have it as an option? Unfortunately I don't think they even care about these issues, it's been out a week now with no fixes. Luckily Colonial Marines is in the hands of a more competent developer (Gearbox). Even though Borderlands does go a bit insane lagwise with 4 people, it's usually fine with 3 so i've a little more faith in them.

Oooh ok I stand corrected then. The DLC looks pretty good with the added bonus of being free. I wonder if there'll be more tank based missions other than these new ones. I was thinking to myself the other day about how the fight with the reapers is going to work. I mean it's doubtful all the battles will be on planets. If they're in space it'd be cool if there was a little strategy game involving the galaxy map. Like if you save a planet or something you have their fleet available to fight or whatever, just a thought. Perhaps too early to be thinking about that sort of thing? Maybe it'll just be that the side missions will be gaining the loyalty of/helping other species so that they can fight the reapers. You don't help them, they get wiped out and make your fight harder.

I don't really see the point in doing New Game Plus on ME2 anyway as you reach the level cap on the first playthrough. Unless you want to keep the face you created for your character I can't see a reason to unlike ME1.

I'd have to agree everything seems great apart from the jumping. It looks like he's in slight Zero Gravity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu4aiNPjupY

I think it's going to be a while before I go through this again. Next time I do though it'll be on Insanity and i'll be buggered if I miss the romance and everyone surviving achievements again.

I'd have to agree there. Especially with

Right i'm seriously getting annoyed now with the relationship and keeping everyone alive achievements. Just did another play through and no one wanted to pursue a relationship until the end. I spoke to Jacob all the damn time! What more do you want. What a goon. Also for some unknown reason Zaeed wasn't loyal even though I did his loyalty mission....what's that about? So yes, you guessed it, the fucker died. Good one.

I assumed the kid was the island. Who knows. I also thought he was talking about Jacob . Anyone else notice Kate's name wasn't on the wall. She wasn't mentioned at all yet there were way lesser characters on there.

Am I the only one who'll be starting up the Shooting Range, starting up the throwing knives challenge, blocking the door, and throwing endless knives into the helpless scientist?

I was right the first time then. I think they like to take the piss a bit to be honest. So many people quoting it was meant to be out in Winter and they pick the last possible date.

It's 10 years old Shorty! I fired it up on my N64 last night. Still kick ass in multiplayer luckily though I got owned doing the Perfect Agent missions. I'm going to go with 10th March for release date. Anyone else got any bets.

I agree, I love the music in this game. This was one of my faves, always reminded me of the beginning of Farscape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0vAI-V_UZI&feature=related

I think it's 4 player split-screen (which by the way you can go online with as well so that'd be 4 on one console vs. 4 on another console but this probably removes any bots) with bots, 8 player online. Co-op and Counter-op online/split-screen.

They've got until March 21st before Winter ends. So it could be 3rd, 10th or 17th. What's the betting it'll be the 17th.

Really? I watched the Ken Lobb walkthrough and all he said was that the buttons were mapped like they would be in CoD/Halo. It is dual analogue in the sense that the camera control has been mapped to an analogue stick but it's not true analogue as the N64 controller was 4 buttons. Saying that though it's probably exactly the same as a dual analogue game, which is probably what you meant. What I was trying to say is that turning speed, aiming sensitivity, none of that has/can be changed. Which is totally fine with me

Still playing this demo. Only one map but still enjoying running around as a Predator and stabbing people in the back.

There has been no touching up of the aiming controls apparently. All that's been done is button remapping and camera control to an analogue. So it'll still 'feel' like PD.

You're both wrong i'm afraid . Most of the weapons were available but only in single player. They also had to be unlocked. The way I remember it the PP7, Klobb, Soviet, DD44, AR33, RCP90, ZMG and D5K were the ones available. Maybe others but I can't remember. Rocket Launcher and the likes weren't in it.
