Both games are excellent, but Just Cause 2 offers more bang for the buck. You have a huge map to explore, four large sets of missions, and tons of easter eggs to find. There's a lot to do aside from blowing up all locations, which itself will take quite some time. Conviction is worth playing, but 80% of the game revolves around co-op, so if you don't have a friend to play with either online or locally, then you're stuck with the single-player (which is pretty fun, but not as good as the co-op levels). I'd rent the game unless you can get it really cheap.


Mirror's Edge is fantastic. The freerunning is so amazing, and the presentation of the game is great (art style and soundtrack). There are time trials to do, as well. The story is weak, but it's no big deal. My only gripe is that the combat kinda svcks, and it becomes mandatory towards the end of the game (usually you can just avoid enemies or quickly take them out with a slide kick or a flying kick, but towards the end there's a lot of unavoidable gunplay). Still, it was one of the best games of 2008, and at the current price, you've got no reason not to pick it up. If you have a PC, get that version since I think it supports custom levels (mods).

Risk Factions is fun if you like Risk and want someone to play with or the computer. Bit cartoonish for my taste, but I don't mind.

Try the demo of Divinity II. I thought it was gutter trash.

What's Borderlands like? My friend wants me to buy it but I'm really not sure.

It's pretty fun to play with friends, especially if you all play with different classes. Playing it by yourself can get boring, but the four-player co-op is a blast and the game has some really funny dialog.

We have a Borderlands thread here you could check out. Go to my profile and look at my topics to find it, I'm too lazy to do it myself.

Playing it with friends: Weeks upon weeks of fun. Co-op is ridiculously fun and you could go through the story over and over again and not get bored.

Playing it by yourself: 2-3 weeks of fun and occasional boredom before you've done absolutely everything and the only thing left to do is look for guns. If you can't play co-op it will become very, very, very boring.

So, essentially, as long as you can play with your friend (and with the regulars in the Borderlands thread), it's totally worth it. By yourself, unless you can get it cheap, it isn't worth it.

Is Leliana's Song DLC for Dragon Age any good?

Somewhat short, but I found it a lot of fun. At what price would you have to buy it?

Its probabally around $5 now, buy it,for that much its definately worth it even if youdislike t, its great, and unique.


I just got JC2 anyway, was easy after seeing splinter cell 1 for ￡1.99 and SC DA for ￡4.99, got my SC fix.
Im just worried about after JC2, when theres nothing to blow up, because thats the main part of the game blowing [censored] up.


Reptative reptative reptative reptative reptative reptative, and so on.
Heres a breakdown of the game.
Kill skag/bandit, get gun, use new gun to kill skag/bandit, get new gun, use new gun to kill skag/bandit. Ocasiaonally you will have to have a quest to collect things.
But honestly I did like the artstyle and OST, and I may be biased because I had no friends to play it with. Also for all the hate I give it, part of me regrets selling it, but then I remember the repitition, uhh, so repetitive.

Is The Call of Cthulu good?

You could say the same about just about any shooter (or even any Hack 'n' Slash game too), but it doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. I personally had a great time playing Borderlands and would recommend it, although it might be worth waiting a while as there have been rumours of a GOTY edition which would likely include all the DLC.

Conviction is very different from the other SC games. It's got a lot more action and the stealth elements are less fleshed-out. As for Just Cause 2, don't be worried. It will take you a LONG time to blow everything up.

By the time a GoTY is released the game will be dead, brining me back to the boring, depressing SP game/playthroughs I hated, even thoug I admit zombie Island looks fun, but I could get a pre woned bordelands, then the 2 dlcs for another ￡10, then a few XBL points to get the last one, it costs roughly the same at that rate.

@ Kimera ot really, blowing things up was pretty quick, especially when I had the helicopter with the rockets and gatling, assassinated 2 colnels in the game and did about 3 locations, iin half an hour thats not bad, thats without upgrades too.

If you want to get 100% on every location, it will take awhile.

Battlefield bad company 2, now I played the demo and i tore me, i loved the huge maps, sniping was fun, scouting was fun, spotting targets, setting traps, it was an amazing thing, that let me play the stealthy style and I liked it, however, it was full of campers, I sniped most of the time, but didnt camp, and people didnt do anything all after the UAV, so what is the MP like ? How often will I be owned when I have crap guns everyone else has godly guns ?
And is it worth ￡30 and another ￡30 for XBL ? Do people here still play it ?

You can pick weapons from dead people, so salvage the best. (you loose them when you die)
But I don't find many hi-end weapons "godly".

Multiplayer is a lot of fun, I play PC version, and I see less and less campers every day.

I loved the demo but found the final product to be average. I'd wait for Medal of Honor or Halo: Reach. I think they're much better.

I'd recommend it, although you do occasionally get games where just about everyone is sniping, which can be a problem. For the most part though it's a very fun game, especially if you have friends to play with.

Thing is my friends havent played it in months, and usually when they do, they are with a guy I hate, so I dont go online with them.

Also any difference between getting it new and pre owned ? I remember EA is against pre owned games, and I think BC2 was effected somehow.

The EA Online Pass is only affecting sports games now. I wish EA would ditch that idea and just keep offering free DLC codes for games bought on or around launch day. That way no one is getting screwed, but more people are inclined to buy games new.

There is a VIP code you get with buying it new. Being a VIP gets you different gametypes on different maps.

So it's up to you.

Without the VIP code you're going to be down a couple of maps on each game type, so it's worth getting the game new if you can find it at a price you're willing to pay.

Just bought it, I have spent too much on games now this week, need to save up again. But I ordered BFBC2 new and 3 month XBL for ￡45 not bad.
Dose anyone from here still play it ? Do many people, all I hear about is MW2 and halo.

I still play it from time to time when my friend is about to play with me.

Is the game "Depths of Peril" any good? Seems like a combo between hack-and-slash and city management...
