what are they both like mate?

sin and punishment 2 is a fantastic game, it's short but it's got a lot of replay value (2 player mode, online leaderboards and it's hard as fuck) . alan wake however is a strange game in my opinion. the gameplay's sort of a mix between heavy rain and resident evil 4 and the story feels like a tv program with each chapter acting as an episode. so far it's an ok game but i hope it gets better later on in the game.

Finished (at about 5am) GTA Lost and Dammed,very short but enjoyable,loved the last mission,now about to dive into the ballad of gay Tony,on PS3.

Just been making my way (well trying) through Skate 1 and 2 to get ready for 3 but it aint been easy my thumbs are in agony. But i love these games, so much to do and the online functions are awesome. Can be very frustrating at times and you need alot of patience too as things dont always go your own way but yet so much fun.

at least u had the sense to play them in the rite order L&tD
is short and to be honest isnt as much fun as BoGT which seems to have a much more balanced mission ethic. 7/10 L&tD, 8/10 BoGT.

other games im playing atm.
Assassin's creed II:
8/10 doesn't look as nice as the original but has better mission structure.

just cause 2:
8.5/10 didnt like it at first but its grown on me over the last 2 weeks.

merto 2033:
7/10 was to be the benchmark for dx11 gfx but falls somewhat short due to parallel console development, with some distinctly dodgey hit registry, and very little in the way of noticeable dx11 features but a huge drain on system resources.

battlefield bad company 2:
9/10 falling to 8/10 due to buggy updates, started as a great team based shooter but the devs decided to listen to the public and in doing so watered down the original concept to create an almost unplayable mess, and the 4 players needed b4 you can score killed off a lot of small game servers. gfx wise little to tell the difference between dx9 and dx11 except system resource usage.

silent hunter 5 8/10:
a very much mar-mite game you will either love it or hate it. ww2 sub sim. nice gfx adequate sound but can be difficult to get a handle on for the new player.

split second:
7.5/10 some nice ideas in this arcade mayhem racer. but little or no challange 1s you start leveling up. the rubber band racing is a must but does mean less skill is needed.
the trap system is somewhat predictable and often to easy to avoid.

warhammer dawn of war 2 chaos rising:
7.5/10 more of the same if you like the dawn of war 2 series(wich if you like it isnt a bad thing), adequate sound and gfx, but lack of base building in an rts is a big turn off for most rts fans.

i'm currently playing prince of persia the forgotten sands

i'm currently playing no more heroes 2
