Well to start, Top Spin is probably one of my most favourate sport games of all time now. You can really feel the energy in the game as opposed to other tennis games, mainly due to the great camera angles but also the easyness of the controlls and such making different shot types easy.

Defiance is also much more than I expected, I bought it thinking of it to be another Soul Reaver but it wasn't (Shame/Yeys) and I like how they've concetrated more on the action with puzzles included, some of which are mind boggling. Oh and Kain absolutely utterly pwns Raziel, never playing a Blood Omen games i'm going to look for BO2 for cheap seeing as walking around and throwing people about with my mind feels excellent.

And Turok, I thought the first level was actually quite good but now i'm riding some poxy flying bird and I have decided that the game will gather dust.

So yeah, I think it was a worthwhile swap from Juiced (great but short and repetitive) Spider-Man 2 (played to death) and Hitman Contracts (Annoyed as no matter how hard I try I get the urge to rip someone open with a kitchen knife and watch them fall off a roof or something, therefore losing all stealth).

Yup, I initially love Top Spin, but it got boring for me too. And especially when only one person out of 2 million Live owners actually plays the game seems a tad pointless and a little worrying.

Anyway, Xbox is boring me lately.

Edit: Also Oriental Rib, keep playing Turok! I actually really liked it!

I have Blood Omen 2. It's quite fun, but it's full of old contextual button pressing, old graphics and it's a little slow.

Blood Rayne was much better.

Ah well, I didn't pay for all 3 of the prior games so I havn't really lost out. I really, really, really am loving Defiance though the way the stories told and the combat/puzzle ratio is perfecto. Should hook up my DC and go through the original Sould Reaver and Blood Omen soon.

The flying sections are short in Turok. Get them out of the way and get back to the better FPS Stuff.

Have you owned Serious Sam yet?

Anyway they certainly saw you coming, you should have been able to swap Juiced for all 3 of those games without handing in Contracts and Spider-man 2. Even then those 3 games you got only add up to about 20 quid.

Anyone else would have walked out of there with 5/6 games.
