Absolutely stunningly epic! The best game I've played in the last 10 years and this gen so far. Alan Wake and Red Dead will have to be really special to beat it as GOTY. I've put almost 50 hours into it, and I've still a bit to go.

I dunno, I'm finding the missions a bit repetitive.  Walk into an arena.  Shoot things.  Walk into another arena.  Fight a boss.  The end...  Although it is a big improvement on ME1, in my opinion.

ME is all about the characters and the story as well as the world they inhabit. It's rare to play a game where you feel guilty about making a decision whether or not to let one of your squad members execute someone. It's just like reading a very good book, only you're actually in it making the choices. The same could be said for Final Fantasy 7 when it came out all those years ago.There's only been one story driven game since then that's had the same kind of character involvement, and that was Shenmue, that is until ME 1&2.

Its more creepy than the first, when the big sisters come after you its quite disturbing. Its also much harder than the original game IMO, I've had to harvest 2 little sisters to keep going, didnt harvest any last time.

The guy who writes this game series has to be one seriously sick puppy I think.  :Oo:

Have barely dipped my toe in Bioshock 2 yet as I'm thoroughly engrossed in Mass Effect 2 which is an awesome game.

I still have to finish Darksiders and Bayonetta (both great games) and I have Heavy Rain on pre-order, so I'll have my hands full until God of War 3 and Alan Wake drop.

Just completed ME2 and I'm absolutely gutted about it. Seriously. I just didn't want it to end having milked it for everything and putting almost 60 hours worth of time into it. I want more. Now. Stunning game! Seminal, even. I actually felt like aplauding when it was over. Sad, maybe, but better than any film I've seen in a long time. ME3 can't come quick enough, if only to see what Tali looks like under that visor.

that alan wake game seems genius and creepy.

i just hope they dont over hype it and it becomes another stupid point and shoot.

God of War III demo is out on PSN, played the Heavy Rain demo, thought it was good but not my sorta thing, it's a very good interactive movie and not really your typical 'game'.

Still loving COD:MW2 with my Astro A40's, can't stop playing domination, don't get as much joy from TDM anymore. :(

Frogger way too scary mate, even pacman used to freak me out, what exactly were those pills ???   :D


Just started playing Halo2, not impressed so far but then it is the game after Modern Warfare2 so a very tough act to follow.
