So we have Final Fantasy 13, Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain and many more.

What games are you currently enjoying, What you're enjoying, Where you are in the campaign, or the online why and what do you expect to get next.

Hopefully we'll get a good line of banter goimg here so we can discuss 2010 as we progress through waves of game releases.

Okay, So I bought mass effect 2 earlier in February, and I am loving it. I've had a break over the last week from playing it too much, but Im just before the Omega relay. I'm also getting Final fantasy 13 and maybe Bad Company 2. Not sure If I like FF13 as one or two of the old ones. I've played it for a few hours and it doesn't seem as complex, but hopefully It'll get better as the campaign progresses.

Bad Company 2

Campaign
In my opinion they seemed to have gone off track with the storyline. The first one was about their retirement fund - The gold which was in metal cases. But the new one was about a weapon of mass destruction which has a twist at the start of the storyline presenting it as what ended world war 2. Dont wanna give away the story but you can always guess the rest.

Charaters in the storyline have their own charaterstics like you'd expect with any person. The Enviroment is my favourite bit about the game. Hearing the echo's of gun fire throughout the map. Dust and debree flying everywhere and the graphics really do make it enjoyable.

I think the storyline is small however, seems like games have dropped from a 9 hour storyline to a 5 hour storyline in general this year.

Online
Enviroment is awesome as well as the atmosphere the game creates for itself. I like to get a few i know in my squad to ensure i wont be let down although the same cant be said everytime for your team. You either get a team that rape or a team which just dont even try to push... it really is pathetic pathetic on other people. :<

Knifing system is utter wank. Seriously it is messed up. You go to knife you go through them. If you go through them your magically looped back round to miss.
If a person comes to knife you they suddenly charge at you making them unstoppable. Even a building collapsing wont stop that unpreventable fate of your dog tags ended up on their HUD.

Map pack is due for release on the 30th of march really cant wait!

Absolute epic game, best game I've played for a very long time. But I didn't get the best ending. But the story, voice actors, choices. I love it.

I so wanna buy it, loved Mass Effect 1. But is the story worth playing more than once? Like the first I had multiple playthroughs is the story just as good?

- No spoilers please

[Apolloz]

Yes, all I can say is...BUY IT!

Fecking amazing. I didn't like the first 5 minutes, because there was a bit of a change with the Medi-gel and the interface, but let me tell you, the change is good! And the storyline... EPIC!

+ No mako driving, which is both good and bad.

[Apolloz]

Only bad thing is that the places you can explore are smaller and not as free to explore as in ME1

[Dynamic]

Yeah, My only problem with Mass Effect, is the fact that all the aliens are humanoid.
I know it's the same with everything to do with Sci-fi, but I suppose maybe you can't relate so much with an alien, alien. There may be an explanation later on, but for now it's just a niggle. The was they've described the biology of the craetures and aliens and the amount of depth they go into the background insane, a bit like Morrowind/ Oblivion with all the books. I haven't completed Mass Effect 2 yet, but I'm loving the collectors, and Harbringer, aaah.

Anyway, I may be getting FF13 tommorow, so I might have a post about my initial thoughts here.

[Milosevic]

[Dynamic]

Never played any Starvraft before, Is it like X3: TC type game?

[Pheonix]

The only real game I have played for ages is Heavy Rain, I've loved every minute of it. Before that was Godfather 2 haha thats kind of old now but still is a hell of a game, at the minute i'm looking forward to Mafia 2 and Diablo 3.

aw, I prefer the Space simulations. Freelancer was a really good one, I dont know why there isn't a sequel

[Dynamic]

Just to say, I've currently got Heavy Rain, Im going to do a write up tommorow, of how I think it is. Any of you guys played it?

Just played my first couple of hours, I really like the way you can do so many things. Plus, Phoenix how do you make right decisions, is it sometimes better to not press anything or what. I really liek this system, but It means you kinda dont know what to do, lol.

The graphics are really good, and the storyline is [so far] very good too. sony obviously had alot of involvement in this, because its a really well finished game, and its a relief to play something different from the usual first person shooters which are on the Consoles at the moment. Im pretty tired of most games reviewed above 8.0 being a first preson shooters.

But hey, also how long does the plot take to complete, is it a very long game?

[Dynamic]

well, FF13, I like the gameplay and the entire FF13 world BUT It lacks some of the things that FFX and below had. It's aesthetically brilliant, but there are no villages or exploration, its SOOOO linear, and you don't really get very much optional stuff to do. Square Enix massivelly disappointed me. When are they going to learn that they should take some hints from their past and they don't have to keep going "forward" because, IMO its taking them backward.
