bioshock 2 launch trailer

The exploration and creepy-assed audio logs were what kept me playing until the end. I wasn't really bothered about the action. It's like Half Life: Episode 2 and that long finale where you just wander around the base for ages, the detonation, and closing nastiness was miles was better than that epic strider attack. Damn straight, sir, damn straight. It's like with The Saboteur, which I just finished t'other day, without giving anything away the final mission is purely about story and the characters and exacting revenge ... there's very little action to do, it's more about those aforementioned things, as well as atmosphere (of which there was tons in the finale, which naturally takes place at the Eiffel Tower, and features a haunting piano remix of "Feeling Good").

Been thinking about getting that. Saw a review on Playr the other morning and it rubs me up the right way. Like two teenage chicks fighting over my lightsaber.

Been thinking about getting that. Saw a review on Playr the other morning and it rubs me up the right way. Like two teenage chicks fighting over my lightsaber. Dirty bugger. It does have its rough edges, and needs polishing in certain respects. However, I had a lot of fun blowing up the hundreds (literally) of "freeplay targets", leaping across the rooftops of Nazi occupied Paris, and just generally being in that world. Other games have done these elements better, sure, but The Saboteur still provided me with 50 hours of fun times. I got it for £20 on a sale, and I think that was an idea price for it. If I'd paid £40 I'd have felt ripped off, but £20 was spot-on for me ... then again I am a cheap bastard.

Unless I absolutely gots to have it (Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, etc) then I don't mind waiting 6-10 months until it's half price. It's not the end of the world for me. And I think I'll pop in GameStation and have a ganders for Saboteur tomorrow or saturday.

Schweeeeet. And if you've got XBL, you can download a patch that takes the pasties off the dancing girls' nipples, and unlocks brothels (for hiding places) as well as a secret underground pleasure place with cheeky dances to watch ... ... I don't have XBL though ... but I do have YouTube. I rather enjoyed being Sean Devlin (the protagonist), and despite the rough edges and lack of polish in some respects, I really did quite enjoy it - which seems to be the common reaction the game has had.
