But not only that - But I also seem to have won a TAD...Yes, you guessed it! A T-Shirt a day! A one off day too im guessing...Printed with the Brute Force logo on the front and a large graphic of the main characters on the back, a T-Shirt was packaged with my game! I am now the ultimate game fashion guru. It smells a bit funny though...Like swimming pools, but I think thats the new ink. Im wearing it anyways though. Quite comfy ;)
I also got a free DVD - The Ultimate Halo Companion DVD. It has really old trailors of Halo for Mac from 1999 on it, some interviews, footage of deleted enamies (Including dinosuars...) and removed levels!
Its a great little package! The ultimate free gift bundle! So thanks SR - Now, everyone else who choose this as their TAD, lets all form a 'T-Shirt' club where only TAD winners can join...And watch the Halo DVD again and again just because we can!
Oh - And I have only played it for about 2 hours in multiplayer and about 20mins in single player but Brute Force is supurb! More than my very high expectations multiplayer wise, where you each control a team of 4 giving commands, in a strange deathmatch come team match! Brilliant! And the single player looks very good too. I will do a review soon when I play it a bit more.
So far...Brute Force=Fantastic. And the T-Shirt and DVD have made my day...

true, it depends, for me, on whether I'm stuck on a level because I'm not good enough at it, or because the games designers have created a level that is simply ridiculous
'the twins pursuit' level on enter the matrix instantly springs to mind

I do that too. If I lose a couple of times on a level I play another game and come back to the tough level later. Then again if a game grabs me it's usually 4 hours play minimum.
Beware!
Can't say I clean my bedroom though.
