yep out on the 22nd. From what ive seen it looks funny as hell.

'by all accounts'?

Funny, all 3 reviews I've read say the online's actually pretty good and this is backed up by the IGN forum posts I've read.

new leisure suit larry?

It was clear from the s**tart that Vietcong would suck on consoles and not jus**t in a way that Soldier of Fortune 2 sucked, at leas**t that was excellent on LIVE, by all accounts Vietcong: Purple Haze is sh*t across the board.

A shame as Vietcong on the PC is excellent.

fable and the new leisure suit larry are the games im getting..really dont know if i should bother with fifa 2005,too much like last years plus PES4 will be out soon and is better.

Just been browsing the IGN boards seems like 80% of posters like the game and reckon the reviewer's portrayal of the game is way off. A wide range of opinions as to which games it's similar to: comparisons with GR, RTCW and Counter-Strike have been made.

Pehaps the company behind Shellshock's throwing a bit of money about?

Edit: They mention IGN's review has been edited as it originally referred to the game being 3rd peson in several places, nice one IGN trying to catch up with XBM in the 'pretend you've played a game stakes'. :D

Also they're ripping into Gamespot who marked it down for not having features the PC Version did and not judging it by how it is as a standalone game.

+ accusations of bribes yada yada yada

controvercial. :D

For the single player yes, but stuff that the online modes sound really good fun.

EDIT: "There is also a fair amount of replay value here with decent online modes, up to ten players, and a good chance of seeing more maps via download. There did tend to be some lag issues with our online games, but this may have been an isolated incident."

Good: varied online play :)

Bad: possibly laggy online play :(

Viet Cong's getting awful reviews.

Power Drome's looking iffy now as you can only race with 4 people online, Purple Haze and Men of Valor both look great for online fun and have scoreboards so I'll be picking them up, think CoD also has those options. Kindom Under Fire is looking very tasty too so it looks like I've another 4 definates.

FABLE FABLE FABLE FABLE!!!

Also getting morrowind GOTY for a tenner.

The next 3 months will go down as the greatest in gaming history!!!
