  • Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

    I hear ya Rick, the first one was a messy game in so many ways.

    Sadly I'm not really in a position where I can talk about KL2, don't wanna say something that gets picked up by Google news alert and ends up causing problems.

    I'd love to talk all I want about it in great detail, but you guys know how it is with this kinda stuff. Soon though

    Oh and thanks Reno, its always nice to hear people that actually liked the first game. Its funny though, this time around, every time something from KL2 is posted on one of the larger gaming blogs, a lot of people come outta the woods and say how they had a real good time with the game.

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Teaser

    I had a really uplifting experience with the multiplayer the other day. After a few rounds of just endless dying and my team clearly not being up for the challenge, mainly because one guy on the other team kept spamming choppers and AC130s. So I decided to try a completely different approach on one of my classes from what I usually did. I took the FAL, added ACOG scope and silencer (with the Bling perk), added the Cold Blooded perk so that I can't be seen on radars, by airsupport or thermal, and then lastly added the Ninja perk so I'm not showing up on heatbeat sensors. The result was pretty sweet, altho it took more time than your usual run n' gun then I went from a 1/3 K/D ratio the last round to a 2/1 against more or less the same players, and it just went to prove that the majority of players navigate with the mini map rather than actually looking around.

    Definitely makes me wanna play the game some more now, been having a pretty uneven experience with it otherwise, generally dying more than I was used to in COD4 or in shooters in general :G.

  • Assassin's Creed 2

    Really digging it so far. It really takes its time with setting up the story but I like it. Its very slow paced with the story in the beginning, which is slightly frustrating when you just wanna check it out quickly at work, but its actually a quite nice change for once to have a game that doesn't rush itself too much

    Got the Villa now, so I guess I'm gonna be going on to Venice soon or something.

    Anyway, good stuff so far, but then again I actually liked AC1 sooooo

  • Assassin's Creed 2

    Played it for about half an hour. Like the first game it just takes ages to get to the good stuff, and by the time I got to the good stuff with the game giving you some actual control over things we had been playing it a bit too long and had to get back to work. Anyway, felt good and looked nice when you finally got inside the Animus, can't wait to get home and try it out for real.

    Oh and by the way, is that Nolan North again? (AKA Nathan Drake ) He's an awesome voice actor but he's seriously getting overused in games these days D:

  • Assassin's Creed 2

    Was sent today so I should be getting it tomorrow. Quite excited to try it out, I guess I'm in the minority but I really enjoyed AC1, and from what I've seen so far it seems that its better on all fronts.

    I also just need a palette cleanser, been playing way too many shooters lately between MW2, Borderlands and also L4D2

    Heh, just goes to show that you shouldn't put names on the books in games. Blank is the way to go!

    Btw, speaking of low res skyboxes, the

    skybox takes the price. Donno if its much better on PC, but on 360 the icebergs there were eyeopening low res, and it looked like they weren't part of the skybox image but rather piece of geometry in the scene. Just seemed like a weird place to let something like that slide, since I figure most people just took a few seconds to check out the view, at least I did

  • Left4Dead 2

    Aye played it a bit earlier with some guys at work. It's feels more or less the same, so its still good fun. Played the first campaign a bit, didn't finish it tho (Think we died by the safe house of the 2nd last level). Can't wait to try out some of the other chapters, altho the first one is nice and all then it does seem awfully close to the same feel that the airport in L4D1 had, at least the mall does. Most of the new special infected were really cool, altho the Spitter does seem kinda dry in imagination compared to the others. Also the chainsaw is sweet, even if the melee weapons felt kinda gimmicky in most situations.

    Anyway good so far, but then again I'm not really whining about Valve churning out this in one year, soooo

    Haha, had the game running so I couldn't resist checking if that was what actually happened if you shot him, would've been an awesome easter egg if it did

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Teaser

    Heh, even then you still die a lot on Quarry, died so many times on that map

    Can't imagine that IW thought it would be easier this way, and in that case its pretty naive to think that your system is robust enough that noone is gonna mess it up. Must be a pretty fucking shitty job to be cleaning up all the shit thats going on with the PC version.
