I am still plodding away on that Jay. I feel somewhat let down by a game that has so many glitches and feels rushed. After years of development that shouldn't have happened. If it wasn't for the zombie aspect I'd of traded it in by now. I have completed it once and you get to start again with everything you've gained from the previous save. Good right? Kind of. The enemies are just the same level so playing again feels repetitive but twice as hard. I started playing with a different character (because of the whole complete 1 act with 4 characters achievement) but I have found myself slowly picking away at it as opposed to my rush-fuelled first attempt. I normally play through one game at a time but at the moment have several on the go and it is doing my head in. Edit. Jimbo, but isn't it the taking part that counts? . Unless my Uncle texts and asks me to play multiplayer I don't find myself going on it that much. It gets a little lonely sometimes when you're running around and not one person is communicating. Spoilsports. Ha.

I unfortunately haven't had the chance to play Dead Island yet. I really look forward to playing it though. As some of you may remember I'm a huge Halo fanboy. I was on a sponsored team and in Halo 2 competed in Columbus against Final Boss (if that means anything to anybody) in the first live MLG event. We got destroyed, but man was it an awesome experience. I've also been playing a lot of Space Marine lately, love that game. I play the Warhammer 40k table top game. Yes, I know I'm a huge nerd

Can't wait for the new Batman game. Heard great things about it. More villains in this one. And no, not Aston Villa fans! Bad guys!

You strike me as the Pacman, Pong type of guy. ;D Arkham City does look really good. Can I justify buying these games only to flog them when I leave though? Stupid regional games.

I've heard Arkham City is fantastic! Can't wait to play that as well. And jimbonda. Look up Walshy's Final Montage on youtube and watch it, he was the captain of Final Boss when I played them in Halo 2 and I still game with him occasionally he's still a beast, but not as good as he was back then. And yes, we did play full time. I almost failed 10th grade because I was so focused on making money off of Halo 2

The only game I played competitively, religiously, was Counter Strike: Source. Had a clan called mV (Morti Viventi) which started as a bit of fun between real life friends but then went competitive. We used to play in Enemydown and whatever various cups/ladders were spawned from that. Although we split years ago. The biggest mV game to date (split up almost immediately after we started, 10 or so months) was against eC*K (Elite Clan Killers) in the quarter final Open Cup, which went on for 2 hours and 50 minutes, with a total of 84 rounds and 100+ spectators. It made various gaming websites and discussion. www.gotfrag.com/css/forums/thread/210000/We had a player called 'Hughsy' play for us for a bit too, beast of a player but a bit of a cock at times when with other people he knew but alone he was a decent lad. Went on to play for some of the biggest teams in the world including Snipers Alley, AuxiliA, Reason, London Mint and Team UK. He is on a few YouTube videos. Oh I've made myself miss the game now

Not bad Deano, I've never gotten into PC games hardcore. I need a controller in my hands to really get into a game personally lol. But to each his own.

Yeah it really was, quickscoping is my favorite thing to do in MW2 and Call of Duty Black Ops. So much fun.

It frustrates me a lot actually (queue nerd rage) lol but it's so stupid it takes absolutely no skill. I'm going to not rant on it though, and just let it go
