i got it a few months ago on PS3 for like £15 and just started playing it yesterday...it's pretty decent so far....pretty unique control system, etc.  the graphics aren't exactly groundbreaking, although it's done in a way that it doesn't matter.

i can't comment on the longevity, but it doesn't seem like one of those epic games that is gonna be 20-30 hours, more like a 6-7 hour game, that's if you go for the achievements and stuff

if you can get it cheaply (similar price to what i got on PS3) then i'd say go for it

I don't think its that great, it becomes very boring because it is the same thing over and over again, the wow effect of the game slowly fades away as the game goes on. So personally i don't really suggest it.

eh, I thought this much, from the looks of it it looks like it's all the same routine in the end... Although I saw it for a tenner so I think I'm gonna get it regardless... Think it's worth it for how cheap it is. Thanks ;d

Anyone watch / go to Microsoft's E3 conference yesterday?

I have to say, Project Natal looks really exciting. Left 4 Dead 2, Asassin's Creed 2 and Halo Reach look really awesome. Still a bit skeptical about L4D2 though since the only thing added, that we have been told so far, are new weapons, and new campaigns, which could just be made into DLC.

I have to agree that Project Natal looks great, seems that they have done a lot of work there and if it acts like it looks then it will be very impressive. I liked the look of MW2 as well, not much of a halo kid myself or AC2 and i thought L4D2 looked very dodge, Alan Wake and Splinter Cell looked alright though.

Who gives a shit, it's Valve, anything is amazing, they could make a "Suck My Penis" game and it'd sell

I saw just Natal part last night, it was ok....stupid companies trying to make me exercise.

Halo: Reach is going to be epic also (looking forward to ODST also).

For anyone who missed it Live, thanks to Volv for telling me, they are available here
