Oh and if they just cut out the Animus stuff entirely I'd be even more interested~

Agreed with this, the main thing that bothers me about the AC games is that I keep having to play as Desmond and do things I don't understand for people I don't know, I just want to stay as the main character indefinitely. I haven't followed the Animus storyline in a single AC game so far.

@Pogo

Best news I've heard all day, I really enjoy the AC series and I love pirate themed stuff. Hopefully it's not all about the naval battles though, they were fun but I still want a regular pirate based AC adventure to go with them

Ah right no I never noticed that there were good areas to put it down in, I've just been throwing them out everywhere, don't think they made that too clear!

Puddy I think I'm also about half way through, and I'm finding that I have a few blueprints for what look like cool weapons but have nowhere near enough resources to build them (even though I collect all items and constantly send out my little scavenger bot). I tried dismantling my current weapons but they don't give me many parts back, am I doing something wrong or have you come across this? Maybe I just need to keep collecting as those weapons aren't meant to be available till later in the game?

Congrats Vivi, best of luck with it all

Looks great guys

Tried the zombies a little last night, I like the way in this and Black Ops it's always a case of everyone exploring and figuring out together what to do, like the moment we realised how to make turbines and what they were used for It's really difficult though, more so than previous zombies I reckon, I think it's all the fire everywhere, and the fact that you seem to go down much quicker when the zombies hit you.

Also, I don't know if it was a bug but at one point me and a friend were on the bus and suddenly got thrown out the doors and left in the fog where some little gollum things jumped onto our backs and attacked our faces. Was pretty funny, but I don't know how it happened.

Which bits did you work on Vivi?

Looks great guys, good job

I started playing it over the weekend, the reviews are right about the single player campaign, it seems a little rushed though it's enjoyable enough. The MP is where it's at with COD for me though, and I'm really enjoying this one so far. Not tried zombies yet.

New trailer featuring one of my levels and some art work by a bunch of very talented guys:

For me, Black Ops was the best COD (online) since Modern Warfare, I found MW3 quite disappointing with its cramped levels and spawning issues so went back to playing Blops, really looking forward to this one.

Quite glad I cancelled my pre-order

On my iphone there doesn't seem to be the option to go to the last page of a thread, you click on any thread and it takes you to the first page with the only options being 'previous' and 'next'. Could take a while to get to the end of the some of the threads that are hundreds of pages long Also Whilst clicking through pages I get a big black bar on the screen saying 'Loading' that follows me around and won't go away

Just been playing this tonight, first impressions were that all the textures were surprisingly low res (am playing it on 360 though, and haven't installed it to my HD yet so maybe that'll help). As for the game itself it seems pretty cool, I'm not too far into it but it seems like HL2 meets Thief meets Bioshock which is a good combo. I did find it really difficult to be stealthy on the first mission though, I tried but people kept spotting me or seeing me strangling their friends so I pretty much had to kill everyone on the level which was a shame. I expect you get equipment a bit further into the game that'll make things easier

Yeah Homeland is awesome I'm also watching the new series of Dexter and Boardwalk Empire, both quality shows

Erratic

I was on about 1943, not 1942.

Looper - Good, but not great, film

I thought it was the best film I've seen this year, seriously good

I got Armored Kill (probably the last BF3 content I'll get before I move onto Blops 2), and it's pretty good. The maps are quite enormous and the foresty one that ends in the snowy mountains is awesome. They did make some mistakes though I think - one is the gunship, which is something you can spawn in and keep firing from to obliterate anyone down below. Takes about 5 rockets to destroy it and it's pretty damn annoying, what's the point of the massive levels if you are getting spammed by something like that wherever you go? Also, bad thing number two is the tank superiority mode, it's just boring really. I thought the air superiority on 1943 was a bit of a throwaway mode, fun for about 20 mins and that's just because the planes were ok to fly, tanks though are slow and dull, all you do is constantly spawn, get in a tank, roll slowly over to the opposition base, get blown up by all their tanks and repeat It's a decent pack, would've rather have spent 800 on it than 1200 though (got it on 360)

I like Strike Back, I was confused at how much it changed between season 1 and 2 though. Season 1 was your typical UK army drama and suddenly in season 2 it was all about sex, violence and massive explosions, was a completely different show and pretty much Army of Two: The series. Still decent though.
