Anyone recommend Reach...maybe its a bit early? :)

Been playing Halo 3 again since the first time it came out.  After the spate of so called realistic war games lately, playing Halo 3 again is like a breath of fresh air compared to them as it's just so different and just so much fun. Reach is said to be the best Halo game since CE, and in some cases reviewers are saying it's even better than that. I'd buy it without even thinking about it. It won't be the last Halo game, though. Expect a Halo four to be made after this, because even though it's the last one to be made by it's creators, Bungie, MS still own the rights to the IP itself, so another developer will take over.

I never played 3...just played the old original on the first Xbox and then 2....fuc'ked a bout with ODST but it didn't get me at all!

BTW the first Halo is IMO the best out of them all....graphics were like nothing I ever seen before at that stage!
Reach looks beautiful though...... I'm on it tomorrow

Gotta finish dead space though...You played it Emy?

Halo 3 is one of the best online experiences I've ever had. Playing the campaign with a mate in co-op is second to none. It ws amazing. Nothing but pure fun. Going back to it after 3 years, and it's still brilliant fun and I'd recommend picking it up as it's dirt cheap. There's just nothing else like Halo out there.

I've not played Dead Space yet as I'm not much into actually playing consoles these days, but I hear it's very good. That's the thing about not picking games up on a regular basis - you get the gems for dirt cheap whenever you feel like picking up the pad again. There's the few exceptions that I'll pick up on day one or shortly afterwards, though. Reach is one of those, and Mass Effect 2 was the other so far this year. I've no doubt Reach is an amazing game, but Mass Effect 2 is without doubt the best game I've bought in the last decade and I wasn't even hyped or expecting much from it. Sometimes just going out and buying a title without too much expectation is the best thing to do.

Halo: Reach -  got it yesterday - doesnt really feel complete (probably due to everyone saying the third was the last and carrying on the franchise) but imo its head and shoulders above ODST. New weapons and all kinds plus a load of different equipment and abilities make for a lot more variation in gameplay. Online it has a lot of variety, I'd recommend it anyways

I just played Fifa 11, its an alright game, harder than the previous version in terms of passing and shooting, but the graphics looks the same and the personality details in players is awesome! Haven't tried be a goalkeeper mode yet.. but will do certainly.

Oh.. its not fast paced as it used to be too.

Seems good mate.

The passing is alot harder, you have to direct it alot more now.

The acceleration and sprint will take some getting used to because it all seems a bit slower to me at the moment.

Gerrard is now only 78 pace  :(

Poulsen is about 64 pace  :D

You can record your own chants, save your goals and upload a song to have for when yoru players come out i believe! (8)youll never walk alone(8)

Will take some getting used to now doubt, but looking good.

In all fairness though, the Happy Birthday thread has been here a while, and I like many others overlook it constantly !

BTW Happy Birthday Mick !
