I'm about two hours into each- both are good and both are gorgeous games, but to my surprise F.E.A.R. 2 has entertained me more thus far.

Fear 2 is sick. It had me jumping and my heart pounding in some areas.

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2- I really like it. More tactics are involved than in most shooters, and you are still playing a first person shooter (compared to Full Spectrum Warrior, which was all tactics and no shooting). The storyline isn't bad, but it is a shooter, so it's really just telling you why you are killing everyone. The weapons are fairly accurate, as are the weapon attachments. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the both rank and A.C.E.S. challenges. Rank unlocks uniforms and armor, the A.C.E.S. challenges unlock weapons. I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5. It's just about the perfect shooter in my opinion.

I have been saying this all along about both RS: Vegas games. I'm glad that an expert agrees with me.

Men Of War reminded me a lot Commandos, expect with bloody awful voice acting. Good game if you can get past that, though.

I just bought Freedom Force and it's sequel Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich because they just appeared on steam. We're talking superhero action strategy RPG from Ken 'Bioshock' Levine, inspired by Jack Kirby. In short, EXACTLY MY KIND OF THING.



Yes, I love Steam, and I am unapologetic in my love. Speaking of which...

Steam have a crapton of sales on!

50% off:

All of Mumbo Jumbo's games (causal stuff).

Flock! I wasn't bowled over by the demo but, hey, it's sheep being chased by ufos!

Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut nice engine, shame about the game. It's fun as a medieval Batman simulator. You'll need a powerful PC, mind.

Splinter Cell I loved this game, back before they released one every 2 days.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent never played it, any good?

The Bone-Breaking Racing Package contains Trials 2 and Monster Trucks Nitro, which are a blast.





There's also the Unreal games pack and UT3 on it's own because of the UT3 free weekend, which you should join me and Hellbent on (Sunday, mostly).

you excited at all about the new cod / Modern Warfare 2?



I liked Rainbow, but the online play of CoD won me over. Every game just needs to copy the cod format.

1UP have a round up of E3 rumours here.

I'll cross my fingers for Episode 3 or Portal 2 and Pikmin 3 and hope that a new ps3 sku will push the price of the existing one down.

A lot of numbers in that post.

I wouldn't be surprised if Episode 3 was Portal 2.

There's E3Feed that basically trawls a load of news sites for the E3 keyword and aggregates it onto one page, if anyone's interested.

That's a fair point, they were clearly drawing them together. Nice link.

Can't believe E3 is right around the corner. Praying that a lot of new stuff will be unveiled that hopefully won't take 2-3 years to actually come out. That makes me both love and hate E3.

"Oooo a new sweet game... that I can play in 2012!"
