But now I need another. NEED! I've got £30 that I can spend in HMV only, and there are a few more games out since my birthday. So which one?
Brothers In Arms
SC: Chaos Theory
That new Conker game
It's the extensive live mode that's going to rule.
Looks nice, in a strange, sweary way.
This time they're on the offensive. ;)
The good thing about the game is it's made of two games rolled into one, the original (from N64) platformer, it's been made even more explicit (and it was VERY explicit before!) and the graphics have been tweaked. Added to that is the new Shoot-'em-up part of the game that is full of Conker one liners and adult humour.
It has Xbox Live, Co-op and Multiplayer, all the usual stuff you'd expect from an Xbox release nowadays.
Splinter Cell is supposed to be very good and is relatively inexpensive but I'm not a huge stealth fan so I can't really 'sell it' to you.
Brothers In Arms is a very addictive game that I rented not so long ago. The visuals aren't amazing but it's a very enjoyable game. Reminds me of parts of Conflict : DS and Medal Of Honor (yank spelling). Twas good but not amazing.
If everyone else is something to go by your probably best off with Splinter Cell, but Conker is a bit different ...
Still great fun.
Either that or steal a copy of World of Warcraft from someone's out.
WoW > All.
Brothers in Arms is great as well, but really isn't on quite the same level that the new Splinter Cell is. All 3 parts -the single player, co-op and versus- are all excellent.
