I still can't get enough of black ops, which is causing a backlog with red dead zombies and fable 3 waiting in the wings. Also need to get assassins creed brotherhood. dead space 2 is imminent. The new arkham is on the horizon and as mentioned Gears 3 is only just round the corner too and im sure I've forgotten 1 or 2 Phew!

Gears 3 isn't really "around the corner" though mate, it has no release date anymore apart from "holiday 2011", which probably means late November.

You should get on AC Brotherhood though, phenomenal game.

It's early days but I just cant get enough of Fight Night 4. Outstanding graphics and gameplay. It's the boxing sim I always dreamed of. Not loads of button whacking. If you dont have a good strategy and more importantly a good defence you get yer ass kicked.

[General Mannerheim]

Actually, after hitting prestige tonight it's suddenly a whole lot less fun! #blackops.

Might get stuck into summat else the morra?

[hisroyalgingerness]

woah there soldier. What changes at Prestige?

Fight Night Champion is out in a few months!

You lose all your guns, perks, killsteaks, money, load out classes, equipment etc - basically like starting again.

[hisroyalgingerness]

Oh well, that's something to aim for then

[General Mannerheim]

You don't have to take it, you can just stay on lvl 50 forever.

[hisroyalgingerness]

Is there an achievement for getting it?

[General Mannerheim]

Nope! You just get a prestigious logos/emblem when you rank up rather than the basic noob stripes. Pretty pointless, just a respect thing.

Just a feeling of wellbeing - deep down inside.

Gears of War 3 isn't out in April mate.

Not checked up on it for a while so didnt know it had changed. Sounds like a christmas release by the way they are talking. Bulletstorm is looking half decent which is from the Gears team i think.

Bulletstorm is tentatively pencilied in for the 25th of Feb, played a bit of it and it seems pretty cool.

The limited edition comes with a Gears of War 3 beta code too by the way.

Thanks for the heads up will purchase the limited edition.

[Choppers]

Dunno if it's cool to shamelessly self promote (though I didn't write the story) but there's a new Bulletstorm video available now : http://www.godisageek.com/2011/01/bulle ... s-trailer/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It made me chuckle anyway!

I hadn't switched my xbox on for over 6 months after getting it back from Germany, where it had been repaired at Microsoft's expense. Then the Mrs got me 'Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare' for Christmas, and I've been on it every night since. I haven't played the original RDR, so I don't know what I've missed, but this zombie version is fantastic.

Last nights challenge with the young uns was getting the Outfit demo to work

Whata load of shitting about that was - had to dig the component cable out

WTF

[General Mannerheim]

i bought AC Brotherhood. cant play it, everytime i put it on i just wish i was playing black ops instead! couldnt connect to live last night tho so played it for a bit but got bored quickly. this call of duty has ruined me.

[Choppers]

No accounting for taste there obviously, but I far prefer the team aspects of Bad Company 2, and the new addon Vietnam.

Love the way it really rewards team play.
