The Saboteur goes gold. But Pandemic was shut a few days ago so whether it was rushed or genuinely completed is up for debate.

Only 25?

I must have not synced properly.

I have 35 from AC2 alone.

Remember when we hated EA for their decisions such as the DRM on Spore?

That's pussy stuff compared to the shit Kotick says.

World at War for example, sub machine guns were more powerful than mounted machine guns and were more effective at long ranges than bolt action rifles

This.

The kill streaks are overpowered. I don't have the game and I've only seen videos so I can't really comment any further. What would be balanced might be not counting the kills gained from kill streaks for the next kill streak. If that makes any sense. Of course you'd get the exp and score from kills gained from kill streaks.

And sometimes i get the timing wrong when countering and i get hit. Also later in the game countering doesnt work anymore. Once you beat the game you'll always find someone that'll block your counters.

Best time to do it is as soon as you get a sword. I'm at DNA 9 so far and blocking always works. If countering doesn't work do some dodging and hit back.

I reckon you should just start again, then start a fight in between DNA 4-9, then run through the streets until about 15 guards are coming after you.

1. pain in the ass to find 10 guys once you've beaten the game.
2. its really hard to not get hit once cause u have to take risks all the time to get the kill
3. when i run around looking for more guys to fight, i gotta have one guy chase me to stay in conflict but he always loses me cause hes stupid and it no longer counts!!!

I got that one early in the game without trying. I thought it was going to be that trophy I was going to have trouble with.

Countering is your friend. Try to kill some guards with their back to you. The trick is probably to get some buddies to fight with you so you don't have all the guards trying to hit you.

I read that there is suppose to be around 10 unannounced games at the awards. If I recall correctly, Sony took most advantage of the awards last year and showed games like Uncharted 2 so expect some big hitters from Sony.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/11/v ote-today-for-playstations-17-vga-nomine es/

There are 17 PS3 related nominees with 8 of them being Uncharted 2. I don't mind any of the nominations other than the MW2 graphics nom. It's up against Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 which are probably the best looking console games this year. If it was a PC game under the graphics nominations it would (or should) win hands down.

So uh, Assassin's Creed 2 is actually pretty good. I'm no where near the end and I've been playing for a good 7 hours.

And get this, it isn't repetitive.

What is this Bizzarro world?

Doctor Who on children in need on now.

I only just found out.

EU vid store not out until tomorrow. Should I post the video updates every week like I do with the regular store?

Something as simple as handing in a paper can make you look like an idiot.

Because you're the first one up, all the attention is on you. At least half the class is looking at you and the other half is on completing the paper. Some people can forget "am I supposed to hand this in when I'm done or do I have to wait at my desk until the bell?". It's pretty awkward to pop your paper on the teacher's desk and them to say "uh, you're supposed to wait until the end of the lesson until I collect your papers". Also accidentally kicking bins, not opening the door properly, getting your shirt caught on something.

RedCoin is dead to me.

How dare he have a social life.

I'm thinking of buying this.

There's the marines and predator video on there too. Marines are rubbish as usual. Predator seems alright though.

I hope those kill moves can be done whenever you want rather than it being scripted. Like the predator removing the head of that guy with the spine still attached.
