A little bit early i know, but i just can't wait to get my hands on it. Basically thought we would need to have a thread where we can all discuss this game, i know plenty of us are getting it and in that sense we should have a place where we can talk about it.

Also useful if you find any secrets / collectables etc etc, but remember to use the SPOILER buttons - as some people may not be as far!

I have just uploaded all 50 Achievemtns in the cheats section so we can help each other with them or give assistance and guidance to getting them.

Would be good if we could also get people posting if they going online and fancy a match, the usual stuff but i figure a big game like this deserves some special attention.

Look forward to hearing your thought on the game and playing Online with you!

It's mostly because we still have a lot of sorting out papers and general work to do, plus she doesn't really see gaming in the same light as watching TV.

I maintain that gaming is better for you, especially if you're watching Eastenders!

Me and Black are about 1/2 way or 2/3 through the story i think, going through co-op to pick all achievements and it is loads more fun IMO.

If we can all get on Horde it would be a good laugh but if i see people drifitng about i will send the game invite

My gf was just laughing at me with the headset on, but she was on her laptop so she was happy enough

Tip 1: never tell your wife that you'll be on GOW2 for an hour. You know it's going to be way more than that :)

This is what I learnt from yesterday and may be the reason I'm not there tonight. We'll see what happens, but I don't want to push it!

Good Game last night everyone - so close to that 10th level lol, but were some funny moments.

To people who don't know;
Myself, pb, Black8704 and Simian all joined up and took on Horde in GoW2 - we are looking for one more person who would be up for the challenge. I will be on there again tonight, hopefully the others can make it on aswell for another few games!

Me, Black8704, pb and Simian, just need one more, if pete is about. I going to be on there tonight, if i see people are online i will send out the invite!

I have just found it takes a while to get into games online, maybe it is just because i was playing a peak times and it was very busy.

Horde loads fine and the story mode co-op is just brilliant, cant wait to get home and do more!

Not from the ones I've played. It took a while to find 5 players for my last game, but I guess it depends who is online and whether they're in the middle of a game already.
