Loved Fallout 3 but will wait until New Vegas has had some patches to fix some of the plethora of bugs and quirks present at launch, it will probably drop a few quid in price in the sales before Christmas too.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is being made by Criterion (Burnout devs) this year, demo is out already and pretty decent.

Given how much time I sunk into MW2, Black Ops is probably a no-brainer as loads of folk I know will buy it too.

Beginning to think GT5 doesn’t exist!

I play World of Warcraft (best. game. Ever) CoD:MW2, Fallout3, FIFA, Football manager, and a few others.

Cannot wait till Blizzard give a name on their 4th game, announcement will most likely be at BlizzCon 2012 or 2013

Anyone else think that MW2 was over hyped and under playable?  I still play the original Modern Warfare online but don’t like the feel of MW2 at all.

Or is it just me???

Incidentally, the last football game I played was PES2009 which was, TBH, rubbish.  Has there been a quantum leap since or are both PES/FIFA along the same sort of lines?

yeah I also thought cod 4 was better just much simpler, but I prefer halo reach way more so much fun.

I love FIFA never liked pes, I think the general feeling from reviews is that FIFA beat pes this year

I really find Halo Reach frustrating, not playing with a team and having to play Elite Slayer, which is absolutely awful.

I for one like Elite Slayer quite alot. Game modes like infection really remind me of timesplitters which is obviously a great thing. And yes it’s slightly frustrating but then when you get a killing streak or overkill which makes it worthwhile. Halo is not as frustrating as getting gunned down by a chopper gunner everytime you respawn or getting noob tubed or commando tactical knifed in my opionion

I am on xbox (scoop05333) if anyone wants to add me and i play mostly halo reach, fifa 11 and madden 11. Obv Black ops is pre ordered. I also play a fair amount of Starcraft II (Plat) so if anyone wants some gives hit me up. I used to play WoW and loved it but quit 2 years ago but might give the new expansion another go.

MW2 was a god awful game, go play COD 4 if you want a decent game.

With New Vegas, Fable and FM to play, I won’t be touching CoDBlOps for now. Didn’t the developer for this CoD also make World at War? Or were Treyarch involved with MW2 too?

To be honest, I don’t have a clue. I’m very much a casual gamer, except when it comes to FM which I’m playing right now in fact (still playing FM2007 as Woking…). It’s my birthday in a couple of weeks though so always become a little more interested in what’s out during this time of year to ask for as a present…

I enjoyed the last couple of CoD:MW games, but wasn’t too fussed by World At War, although the Russian sniper level was superb. Was wondering if anyone had got their hands on it yet to provide the first thoughts.

Treyarch made WaW, yeah. Infinity Ward (MW1 + 2) don’t exist anymore, which is one of the reasons MW2 didn’t get fixed.

Why don’t they exist anymore? Quite strange they don’t exist as I thought the MW games were HUUUUUGE money spinners?! Or did they not get a fair cut of the takings?

Cheap plug here I know but if anyone is into any ‘competitive’ gaming, visit www.consolegaming.eu

Forums arent as active as they used to be but the COD section will be alive and kicking, ladders/tournaments will be flowing and active in the early weeks.

As far as I remember, Activision fired them. I can’t remember why, though. Coincidentally, it was after IW had finished producing all of the Map Packs which Activision could sell. They’ve also done this kind of stuff before like with Neversoft and the Guitar Hero guys.

Next month I will buy two games that I won’t open till Xmas day the three I have the running are COD BO, Force Unleashed 2 and Tron Evolution. FM is enough to keep me entertained by then, haven’t played outside my special project yet so its going to be fun.

Ah interesting stuff! Always wondered why such a succcessful franchise got passed around two developers.  The only good thing about World at War was Nazi Zombies, the rest of the game was severely average imo.

This, of course, is the big worry about Black Ops. I won’t buy it until I’ve played it at a mate’s or something - WaW wasn’t a patch on MW in terms of playability.

Got home today to my brand new ps3, Black Ops, FIFA and Heavy Rain.

Really enjoyed Black Ops, no major gripes with it at all. Will probably play the others at some point over the weekend.

Cheers for that, I was very tempted, but I went for Life on Blu Ray for £15.99 instead. BOOOOOOOOM! I’m shopping for my own Christmas presents here. Massive thanks for the heads up, some great deals on there.

I’m not sure if anybody has mentioned this site before, but it’s basically a rating site for bargains online/offline. As you can see the top 5 today have been dominated by fifa11 and a couple of others for £17.99.
