It's slow, laggy and stupid.

Other than that I agree, purely for the joy that is the Spartan Laser.

I liked it best when all we ever played was Forza, before Halo 3 came along and ruined everything. :'(

Even I would say, "buy L4D before UT3." Probably. You should still get UT3 too though. It's aces.

I would be up for UT3 action if it were either deathmatch hi-jinks or against real people.

Playing against each other is quite fun, but not if we're doing 4 humans against me and three imbecilic bots who couldn't capture a flag if it fell into their hands a yard from our own flag.

I certainly had more fun shooting my friends than shooting bots. And jumping off an insanely tall tower with the flag whilst Bobby wonders where the hell it is...

Yeah. Playing against bots in UT3 just leaves me colder than Z's vagina.

I would very much like to do some 4v4 UT3, or even 6v6 if we could get the numbers. Enough people have the game.

Actually, yes, that is also fun.

Halo has some fun silly modes.

Halo is slow, but there's nothing wrong with slow shooters as long as they're fun. I can't remember laughing so much as when we were playing the mode with the buggies.

Feex.

That 'Friends Playing This Game' that pops up when you play a 360 game seems pretty pointless as when you press the Xbox button (or whatever it's called), it just shows you your friends list anyway - you'd think it'd perhaps just show those playing that game. Yesterday it helpfully let me know that someone else was playing Hexic.

Anyway, a bit more back on topic - anyone bother with Exit 2 yesterday?

Yes, as long as you are signed into Live (and online) under your gamertag.

No, your Live Gold sub will work, as you'll be signed in as you. His Xbox will need to be connected to the internet though.

Yeah, you're fucked. You'll have to take your Xbox. You might get away with just plugging yours in inplace of his, but the PSUs might be different too, so check before you leave your house without one.

What?! Why?! It's a downloadable movie tie-in game to a movie adapted from a near-unfilmable book, which features hardly any action scenes, just to make it even less viable as a game concept.

So The Lost and Damned has made them think that 1600 points is ok now too? Well MS seem intent on killing my love for the XBLA then.

Not that I would have touched the watchmen game but still...

Out of a morbid sense of curiosity as much as anything, same reason I'm looking forward to the film.

Im sure the games meant to be a prequel storyline of some characters in nam or something. Sorry I know nothing about the book.
