Emmie,

I ignored Army Of Two for ages after hearing so many bad reports about it but when I actually played it I quite enjoyed it.What I would say about it is that its 'unique' control system takes a bit to get used to.But once you've got the hang of it its not too bad.I picked it up for buttons and sold it on for pretty much what I paid for it (about £6).Online its useless and no one ever plays it now anyway and the AI can be a bit 'special' at times,but its nowhere near as bad as some would have you believe IMO.

Oh yeah,should probably mention that its cheesey as hell with some of the worst voiceovers ever put in any video game,it shamelessly rips off Gears Of War at every possible opportunity and its just a little bit gay (come here Bro,I'll hold that for you,etc. etc. !).Other than that,its all good !.

Hope this helps ! :)

I haven't played many of these games, but I'd say get Assassin's Creed.

It's a good looking game, the gameplay is great, you get to ride a horse and it will give you a good comparison for when AC2 comes out (which is looking amazing).

Yes the gameplay gets repetitive after a while, but it doesn't stop it being a good game. And when you reach this point, you can just use the disc as a drinks coaster!

Going to wait for Lego Indy 2 as it has a great level editor and the new film too as well as all the other 3. Will get it on Wii so I can crack that Whip!

Army of Two - Terrible. Wouldn't even buy for £5

Afro Samurai - Quite fun but seems like it would get a bit samey

Assassins Creed - Love the game, but it does grate after a while, still trying to get time to finish it.

Ninja Gaiden - Very nice looking game but also very hard, pulled my hair out with some of the bosses and gave up after a while.

Too Human - Not played, but some say it's great and others can't stand it, real marmite game. Lots of text as well.

I heard about all the bugs in Wolfenstein and it put me off a bit. However, even though they're fixing them I think it will knock the price down a bit, so I'll wait and trade for it.

I did look at Wolfenstein but it did not really take my fancy, i seem to like Moden Warfare shooters, older ones do not interest me. Also loking to keep away from FPS wheer possible as when MW2 comes out i will be dominated by it lol.

Thanks for the recommend and i will give it another look on youtube.

Morning guys,hope everyone is good.

Have you played Wolfenstein Emmie ?.I really enjoyed that,single player campaign is as much fun as Batman IMO and it has a reasonable multiplayer (now they have fixed it and it actually works !).Although the 2 are totally different games,both are great fun.If you liked COD can't see why you wouldn't like that.Don't know if they have fixed the autosave glitch with it though,that is very annoying.I lost about 6 hours gameplay in total which wasn't good at all.The save game logo comes up but sometimes the game does not actually save !.Apparently there is a manual workaround for it by deleting the savepoints yourself which clears it or something ?.If you get it have search on the net,they may have fixed it now ?.Think I'm at the nearing the end of Batman I've enjoyed it,thats a good game as well.But once I have finished it can't see any replay value to it,won't play through it again.Should find out my moving date today so will have lots to be getting on with.Soon I won't have any time for games etc.but hopefully be sorted in time for Forza,Tekken and MW 2.If not,then I'll have to play them when I can get time.

EDIT : Thanks for info Butch.Hopefully going to catch District 9 with my mates this week.
