Cool, just added to the preorder list.

I got this too pretty much right after the demo finished. I enjoyed it a lot and have been since. It's very super metroid though I am finding that although I think i'm exploring I seem to end up going the way the game wants me too anyway. Hopefully i'll get to go back and explore everything before I finish it. Though the missile upgrade still eludes me

Shame I will own everyone at it though. Hey ho :P

Thing is though even if it's a standard shooter i'll still love it because I have a pulse rifle and I can shoot Aliens...Aliens and Predator have been my fav films since I was small and so i've been waiting for this for a looooong time. I think there's a pretty huge Aliens fan base too in the development community, you only have to look at the influences in so many games like Halo, Gears, Lost Planet, even CoD 4. To be honest very few FPS warrant a second play through in single player, it really is the multi-player i'm looking forward to most.

The horde mode sounds very awesome. I'm not liking every game jumping on the L4D bandwagon but considering the feature was in AvP1 they can be forgiven.

Reminds me a lot of Eternal Darkness mixed with RE1. Looks like an essential purchase.

They were in the DLC? I don't remember that, just the Bavarian. I know you help a squad of marines fight them off on one system. I always guessed they lived for a really long time, or were in hibernation or something.

I'm wondering if the Rachni queen I released is going to be an enemy or ally...assuming she's in the sequel. An army of Rachni would be handy.

He can hike it up as much as he wants no one's forcing us to buy it. At the end of the day they always drop £20 or so a month later anyway.

Would it have killed them to make it standard co-op too. Or are more people playing versus these days than they are co-op...

Yeh I just finished it, there wasn't much in the way of exploration and my armor got buggered so I was getting owned most of the time and just wanted to find the bitch who repairs it. Was pretty fun though and i'm hoping the alien weapons are kick ass against humans.

I would've preferred Garrus on the front or at least a Taurian. Wrex (or whoever that is) sucks. Who's the woman? Not the best boxart ever but this is my most anticipated game so i'll let it off. I'm praying that the level and quality of storytelling is on par with the first if not better.

Yep, I creamed.

Hmm well in answer to the question, no, I don't think it's been poor at all. I think some people may have too high expectations. I don't think any game ever will recreate the experiences I had with my N64/Megadrive. Mainly because a lot of the games back then provided like the 'first' experiences. First time playing a 3D adventure/shooter/racer etc. It's pretty damn unlikely anything will ever top these experiences although I still don't think a game needs to be completely revolutionary to be better than those I played in my youth. I have nearly equaled my collection of N64 games with my 360 titles. I consider the majority of my 360 games to be better than the N64 ones. So I guess this generation has been the best for me, I can see that just by looking at how much hours i've put into games like Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Halo, CnC, CoD etc. I've had just as many, if not more, awesome experiences with these games. Online especially being a major involvement in providing these as my friends have moved away in recent years. Also I think it's a little unfair to say every game is the same these days without actually playing them. Mass Effect and Fallout 3 are certainly unlike anything i've ever played anyway. I guess it's all down to opinion and personally I don't need a game to be groundbreaking in every conceivable way to keep me as entertained as the ones I played as a kid.

So, the Halo version of Animatrix then. Hmm, nah.

Meh, i'll just get it when it's a normal price. Not one of these people that bum it loads.

Looks like the return of the Mammoth MK2 (Probably 3 now) which was in Tiberian sun. I guess Nod are getting huge walkers of their own too. Any truce between Nod and GDI would never last anyway. I have a horrible feeling the Scrin will be back though i'd really rather have a new enemy. One which doesn't rain blue balls of crap on your base just outside range of all your anti-aircraft defense (before you say it I know you can send pitbulls but it's a pain in the ass and they always die). I can't remember what happened at the end of CnC 3 storywise. I really want the guy who did the music for Red Alert back too, Tiberian sun sound track was just made of win. In fact Tiberian sun as a game is just better than anything after it in my opinion :P

Same, took me ages to get some of them. This is where I read it I hope they're misinformed. http://www.xboxic.com/news/5495

Have been caining this on 360 since its release. Really loving it and it hasn't got boring yet. Though I just read on a website that they're resetting everyone's ranks and awards. I will be pretty pissed if they do as half the stuff I got as a fluke.

Please no Scrin, they pissed me off immensely.

Aye I downloaded it from Xbox.com to my Xbox. It was awesome to start with but now I can't get into any games.

So, when is it going to come up?

Gay I thought it was out tomorrow on XBLA...

Just watched the finale http://xbox360.qj.net/Left-4-Dead-2-Finale-gameplay-video-no-crossover-between-L4D-1-and-2-says-Lombardi/pg/49/aid/132723 it looks pretty good. Though the charger looks a bit crappy but then again so are all the others when they're out in the open. It's probably more of a close quarters special infected. Apparently there are going to be at least 3 or 4 more. Maybe the Screamer will come back in a different form.
