HAHAHAHA, WHAT?
I've got to give this game a try :D
How's the cooldown for knifing in BC2?
Animeniax gets that. He's just specifically saying he's played BF1 (implying not BC1), and that BF1 > BC2 to him.Quote:

It's like asking why CoD: Modern Warfare 2 doesn't play like CoDs 1,2 or 3 when it's clearly the sequel to a spin-off (Modern Warfare).
BC2 is pretty decent fun. It does a few things differently than usual I guess, like gravity affecting bullets, so from far distances you have to aim your trajectory a bit higher. The game also does headshots a bit weird. I've gotten head shots from my assault rifles grenade launcher quite often. You can also kill someone with the Engineer's repair tool which fixes tanks and vehicles.
You're wrong again, and again you manage to sound bitchy.
BC2 sucks compared to MW2. BC1 was cool, BC2 is a mess. If not for the vehicles, it would be no competition for MW2. Oh, and if not for the dumb fanboys like animus too.
It's pretty obvious you haven't played BC1 if you say BC2 is a mess. They both played similarly. Maybe I sound bitchy, because I'm just openly sarcastic when the person I reply to is a douche or dumbass and doesn't know it.
But apparently according to you, your opinion is fact.
Yeah, I'm a fanboy because I openly said I loved BC2 and hated MW2. Oh wait, I haven't said either thing. I've been indifferent on both. If anyone's the fanboy it is CLEARLY you. Seriously, grow the fuck up.
no, just no...Quote:
BC2 sucks compared to MW2. BC1 was cool, BC2 is a mess. If not for the vehicles, it would be no competition for MW2.
there is so much more in BC2 than vehicles
(most maps have no more than 2 light tanks, or even less)
but..
CoD:5 had vehicles.
but the gameplay is shit compared to BC2
and CoD 5 gameplay equals MW1 which equals MW2..
so adding vehicles (alone) won't change a fucking thing
Monster Hunter Tri.
While i'd rather have this on Ps3, it's still pretty awesome so far.
I'm planning to get Tri eventually, but I don't want to play it with the Wiimote and don't feel like buying a Classic Controller. Do you happen to know if the GC controller works?
I have no idea.
I preordered it so i got 10% off the bundle pack (50$) which comes with a classic controller.
Started playing Borderlands yesterday, playin' as a hunter and its pretty fun i must say, love how u can shoot the limbs of enemies and watch their heads explode when u headshot em :P
After getting Platinum Trophy on Heavy Rain I just started Resonance of Fate.
been playing splinter cell conviction for xbox360. first time playing a splinter cell game. its pretty epic
It's far more action oriented, like some sort of jason bourne game, if you are expecting the second coming of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, you will be severely dissapointed.
The latter
Mass Effect 2 on insanity.
I think they appropriately named it, because the game is doing a damn good job of driving me insane. It's not particularly hard (given I'm an infiltrator, and the invisibility cloak gets you out of a lot of difficult situations), but the loading screens in between deaths are annoying as hell. Even when it's downloaded to my 360's HD, it takes a good 20 seconds.
Went off on a tangent there but yeah. Good game overall, and fun enough to warrant several playthroughs.
Metro 2033. Incredible shooter and best post apocalyptic storyline I've seen yet.
Get your hands on this game! The fear factor can't really live up to F.E.A.R quality, but its creepy and intriguing. Looks incredible on my 60" and just oodles of fun with my Xbox 360 controller.
You probably haven't heard of this game, because it doesn't have the buck to advertise itself, and push its way to the top on review sites like gamespot; but ask any gamer that's tried it and you'll receive a whooping 10/10.
Playing Monster Hunter Tri currently, if anyone wants to hunt with me, my in game name is UChess
0/20 on that damn Rathian Plate.
I'll hunt with you Uchess, my char name is Zero.
Starcraft 2 beta - totaly awesome game - but not fully balanced yet(damned mutalisks)
If anyone has played 'Borderlands' online... am i "forced" to co-op in a group?
Like if i want to just farm items or whatever, can i join a game with 3 others and then just run off and to what i feel like or am i stuck with their group?
Cuz i joined a game and tried to walk out from the cave i spawned in, but by doing that it said i "initiated travel" and it counted down, then all 4 players got teleported out lol, i heard some dude that had voice chat on and he was a wee bit annoyed when i did that, they had to run from the beginning of the cave again heh :D
Portal for free on steam...
you can get the game till 24th May and then keep it.
btw... mechwarrior 4 is available for free too now. sponsored by MekTek
I picked up a copy of Resonance of Fate about a week ago and have been playing it off and on. I'm still in chapter 3, so I haven't gotten into the real nasty mess of combat, but I can safely say that RoF has renewed my faith in (some) JRPGs.
The two killer features are honestly the dual audio tracks (for my inner weeaboo, though the dub is good too) and the Suspend function. Being able to stop just about anywhere is really convenient because I just really don't have that much time to sit and not be able to sit through hour-long cutscenes or not be able to save for several hours. Unless it is a boss fight, I've been able to stop within 20 minutes max.
The other plus is that it doesn't take itself serious at all. The game knows it is cheesy as hell, and plays up on it. A lot of JRPGs recently take themselves so seriously but still filled with such stupid situations that I can't take them seriously. Resonance of Fate plays it up worse, really getting into its own cheesiness, and it works wonderfully. It comes off as a Buddy Film and the over the top John Woo style combat ties into it perfectly. The stand-alone nature of the chapters also works nicely into my schedule that doesn't always give me a lot of gaming time.
Plus you even get to play dress-up with the characters (like FF X-2 but more fun).
The real shining star is the combat system. It requires a combination of strategy, technique, and general skill to be the most effective. The system necessitates that you are able to use the variety of methods (each requiring planning) to gain back the gauges that you need to pull off the flashy moves. Even those are vital, because enemies will turn away from you to guard themselves. That combination requires the strategy to be in the right spot, the technique to pull it off, and finally the skill and timing to get that one last shot off. There is always room to grow in skill, even after you've got a handle of the complexity behind the combat. I still can't pull off Bonus Shots reliably.
Let your guard down for even a little bit, and you die really fast.
Still playing CoD MW2 - its quickscoping time now.
also i'm playing through FF XIII and Ef visual novel.
Starcraft 2 beta. duh.
SC2 beta got me bored already - maybe because I've been playing with my friend with Korean-like skills..
I'm going to do 100% run on last remnant after i get it back from my friend.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 on PSP. I'm currently making my way through the Master Road mode trying to unlock more characters, since the game only gives you 11 at the start.
Watching and co-playing Red Dead Redemption with my brother.
Cheating in poker's never been more fun.
If you liked the first 3 Ultimate Ninja games on PS2, then you'll probably like this one. To me it's much better than those because of the roster, 4 player battles, and I can use X-link Kai to go online and fight others, which adds a lot of replay value to the game.
played through Lost Planet 2 yesterday
awesome game if you ask me.. but it would be even more fun when u play co-op with 3 friends during ur first playthrough.
really well done.
Now I'm going to play Killzone 2, never played the first one because I never had a console before.
Just started playing a bit of Alan Wake. It's pretty fun so far.
I'll prob pick up Red Dead Redemption in the near future. Not really itching for a sandbox game atm.
for me I'm still going strong on Halo:CE for the 'puter, Minish Cap on GBA and Halo 2 PC. :)
Playing Split Second on the X360, pretty awesome game. It's a racing game with a twist that's probably been done before but is still a lot of fun.
Does it have split screen multiplayer?
If I have a race where it's P1 vs P2, is there an option to have bots on as well, or does it only set you to up to race?
I'm trying to decide whether I'll get this or Blur.
(After some more trailer hunting.. maybe both. Still leaning towards Blur for the multiplayer experience, but might get Split Second for the story-mode.)
Yep, there's split screen multiplayer (2-player max split I think) and you can set it up to split horizontally or vertically. Not sure about the bots when you're already on multiplayer.
Triggering the events to crash your opponents has been done before I believe in one of the NFS games. It's not exactly the same where you actively trigger an event with the press of a button, more that you triggered events by driving through them.
I don't like the limited ways in which you can acquire power-up. You basically start each race drafting so you get free power-up, and most of the races I've ran in the first 4 episodes don't have a lot of areas to drift to gain power. I also wish they had a turbo boost option for those places you could use a boost.
Triggering events to crash opponents wasn't powersup based, plus it was to crash the ppl behind you (to get away from police).
And it was very very limited.
What s/s is doing is really completely different, since you are essentially firing the enviroment at your opponent, plus s/s powerplays change the tracks/create shortcuts.
And it's not limited at all, I can have 2 route changes, and a shortcut in 1 lap of a 3 lap race, that's 7 powerplays.
It all just depends on the car you are using.
Cars with a high drift rating build up meter like crazy by drifting at high speeds. Speed based cars are better for drafting cause they can keep accelerating, to the point of just pushing your opponent forward.
They also build meter pretty fast when drifting at very high speeds, but they tend to be very unstable when doing so.
Also take more risks, the close miss bonusses build up meter pretty fast too.
I do agree on having a boost option though, it could've made the game a bit more complete. But I guess they wanted the focus on powerplays, and not just burning meter for boosting.
Portal was free to get on Steam some time ago, and I've decided to play it now that I'm kinda bored of MW2.
Surprisingly, refreshingly fun. I'm on level 14 I think. I wonder how many levels there will be.
The computer's pretty funny at times. It tried to say "Wiiiiiiiiiii !!!" when I leapt one time, but in a pseudo-emotional AI voice. Kind of like how Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to smile in T2: Judgement Day.
Lmao, you're just now playing one of the most awsomest games ever?
And i really mean that, the humor and mechanics are just so amazingly well done that 3 years later I'm still not bored with it
"Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said 'goodbye', and you were like 'no waaaaaay'? And then I was all 'we pretended we were going to murder you'. That was great."
"That thing you burned up isn't important to me. It's the fluid catalytic cracking unit. It made shoes for orphans."
yap, the humor is really great.
"and here is your cake" when driving into fire pit was awesome :>
So i'm just now about to start playing "Singularity", and from the trailers and videos i've seen, it looks pretty damn cool.

The ED was great.
Just like the christmas edition, steam is back with super sales in their perils of summer sale week.
From yesterday, till july 4th, steam will be offering some mad discounts again.
I just grabbed the codemaster racing pack myself. Grid, Fuel, Dirt, Dirt2 and ToCa3 for 21,75 is a crazy good deal, especially seeing how the x360 version of Dirt2 still retails for 50 euros here.
So yeah, keep an eye on that page everyday till july 4th, cause the deals change every 24 hours :].
Which ending is which? @_@
This is the old superior ending:

"This video contains content from Vevo, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds. "
I've seen both of them (the proper ones, I don't know what you linked), and the only difference is the inclusion of a mechanical noise performing some dragging.
PS: can anyone get a Steam connection atm?
Steam's being retarded. Tried playing TF2 on the server I normally do so on, and it wouldn't let me change my loadout cause it kept popping up some error like "The server cannot make a connection with Steam." or some shit.
BlazBlue!
I love playing as Nu-13 - if anyone wants to duel me(I'm novice right now, but I'm ex ggXX#r veteran) add me on PSN - same nick as here.
I've just finished playing Singularity - here comes my micro review.
Graphics 6(8+)/10 - game utilizes UE3, textures are good...but only after 1 or 2 sec looking at them - because game first displays very low res texture, and few seconds after it displays hi-res one - its a bit annoying. but what's more annoying is that sometimes hi-res version does not load at all. But explosions, effects, etc are superb - they deserve additional mark!
Sound: 7/10 music is a bit generic, you do not notice it at all during gameplay - it just is. Weapon, and effect sounds are good - nothing special. sounds would deserve solid 8 but positioning of vocal sources of sound is a bit odd - I've played using 5.1 setup but to hear loud enough someone that is speaking i had to look directly at them - otherwise i would not be able to make out what they are saying.
Gameplay 7(8)/10 - Gameplay is similar to Half-Life, mixed with Bioshock and F.E.A.R. - but its pretty well balanced, but a bit too easy(I've played on normal diff - i should have picked hard - but probably as with Crysis: Warhead it still would be too easy), TMD take some time to get used to, but after getting used to controls it was really fun. You might ask what is TMD - I'll try to answer that without spoiling - its glove with properties of Gravity gun, stasis field generator, and object manipulator. It also utilizes powerful burst that kills or damages heavily enemies in short range.
Plot 7(10)/10 - Plotline in game utilizes few cliche elements, but they are pretty well tied together. I can't say much(I do not wish to spoil the game for you) but the twist at the end was superb - it was in my opinion the best twist in the plot that utilizes such popular cliche motives.
Overall: 7(8)/10 -until i finished the game i thought that I'll should get 7, some graphic bugs and cliche gameplay prevented it from getting 8 or more, but the twist itself boosts the rating to 8 - but only if you finish the game you will get why.
I finished Singularity a day ago and i agree with pretty much everything in the post above.
The whole high-res textures not loading thing was pretty annoying because it happened ALOT.
The TMD is what really "made" the game for me tho, i especially love the "Deadlock" ability, it's just pure fun :P
(Plus is looks like a Rasengan, lol)
Deadlock is one of best skills in game, but i loved bashing enemies with their shields using Gravity.
Some Steam games that I bought while on special:
2K package - contains Bioshock 1&2, Borderlands + other random stuff
StarWars: Knights Of The Old Republic
Left 4 Dead 2
Was also tempted to get Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and Team Fortress 2, but decided to save up some cash, considering that I have at least a dozen (not exaggerated) PS3 or PC games untouched and/or unfinished. (probably 85% of my PS3 games I haven't played)
operation flashpoint isn't even worth 5 bucks
you shouldn't buy it
You should definitely get Team Fortress 2, though. According to Steam I have 380 hours clocked in. Half of that's skewed wrong however, since I used this idle thing that sat in a server and collected class items and weapons when they first came out.
When Steam/Valve got around to finding out about it they removed all the items I collected =[
Indeed TF2 is worth it - get it as soon as you can man. It'll take some time to get used to it - but it is one of best multiplayer games ever created.
L4D2 is also great(l4d is great too) - if you got friends to play with that is - i hate l4d with some random strangers.
Ah, well I've missed the TF2 specials now.
On the other hand, it's Crysis' turn to be cheap(er).
Is it really worth playing, or was it more about eyecandy and less about a revolutionary game?
There's a lot of eye candy, and there's a lot of boring.
Crysis? boring as hell, only graphics are good.
warhead is a bit better but is really too easy(i was playing on hardest diff and it felt like easy)
I'm playing Transformers: War on Cybertron on PS3. Got it after reading good reviews on IGN and gametrailers. However, it only confirms the fact I can't appreciate US made games that well. :p
Everybody bitches on crysis' gameplay because that's the only thing they could bitch on, which initially came from ppl being butthurt they couldn't run it properly. While I would agree that it's not it's strongest point, which are obviously the gfx, it's definitly not a bad game.
In fact both crysis and warhead have been critically acclaimed (and no the full package, not just the gfx).
So just try the demo and see how you like them.
I was able to run it at full details on dx9, but it really was boring as hell.
You could use invisibility, aim at head, turn on Armor, fire and then go back to invisibility to play through most of game without dying on hardest diff. Exceptions are tank mission and those Korean supersoldiers.
It it was more like far-cry it would be way better. Far cry was one of best looking games for that time, but i also had really solid gameplay - it was hard too.
Just played a bit of Beat Hazard, and it's pretty awesome. It's on sale right now on steam (till 1900 gmt+1), so if you can spare 2 bucks, check it out.
Yes you could do that, but that's your decision, which means you actively made it boring for yourself. I had a blast just running/blasting/punching/throwing the hell out of people.
thats what I wanted to say too... you can decide whether you go stealth, or agressivly with str/agi boosts.Quote:
Yes you could do that, but that's your decision, which means you actively made it boring for yourself. I had a blast just running/blasting/punching/throwing the hell out of people.
however I got bored too
but I don't like Far Cry and the likes in general.
Just finished Persona SEBEC Quest two days ago (finally!!!) and today I managed to finish the Persona Snow Queen Quest (it was more short than I expected... 12 hours vs the 55 hours of the other quest)... so Im ready to start Persona 3 Portable this weekend :D
Im also playing Shin Megami Tensei (IV): Strange Journey on my DS and Star Ocean Last Hope International on my PS3.
I should return to Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga soon though... I left it aside since september... dang.
I'm running again through deus ex series.
Damn, i need to borrow ps2 from my friend(he does not use it anymore) to finish persona 3 and 4...
Borderlands is a pretty tight game. I think it shits all over Fallout in terms of pacing, gameplay, graphics, humor, violence, mischief and malice, and overall simplicity of story. So basically it shits all over Fallout in pretty much every category that matters, probably even sound.
I count Borderlands among Assassin's Creed and Uncharted 2 as true next gen experiences. Everything else just pales in comparison, especially if you compare a game in the same genre to it. Dragon Age? Pfffffft. Spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate? Yeah, right. Spiritual successor to Neverwinter Nights, more like. And apparently Game Informer's next magazine cover has the reveal of Dragon Age 2? I hope the Official PlayStation Magazine straight bitch slaps Game Informer and gets the scoop on Borderlands 2. That would be tight.
I'm at 98.7% completion on Red Dead Redemption. I'm doing some outlaw stuff now in order to try to get to 100% because I don't know what else I need to do. Maybe I need to break a few more different types of horses or some small tasks I haven't done. It's a pretty awesome game. Very immersive and fun, though frustrating at times. I can't believe they're still using pretty much the same engine from the early GTA games but it works. I've spent 45 hours on the game.
Alien Swarm
get it for free on Steam, its really fun to play with friends
you can set up sentries
weld doors
draw tits and penises on the minimap and much more to hinder the swarm
Launch Trailer
I'm playing alien swarm too - me and my friend are doing 2man runs(tech + Special weapons/Med+Special Weapons) - it is fun but i think that left 4 dead is more funny :>
Also i'm once again back to CoD MW2 - the game is so awesome that i can't stop playing it.(5th prestige right now)
Got back into the emulator craze when I felt like reliving my adventures around Hyrule.... bout to enter the greatest dungeon of any game in the Forest Temple. Question, should I be playing Master Quest?
That got me wanting to play some other previous gaming loves. Finally got a dreamcast emulator to work, well my other attempt being years ago it makes sense it works now right? Its 2010 for chrimety sake, we have the masses putting their minds to use on making vintage escapism more readily available.
Also until Starcraft2 sucks me in I'm having some more nostalgia button pressing fun in a free server Phantasy Star a friend suggested I join him and it does bring some good OG xbox memorys back.
Right here

I'm playing Borderlands co-op with my brother. Currently at level 14.
I've probably spent well over 10K worth of revival fees trying to beat this boss. It's the first game I've played that requires the technique known as grinding - hence I never thought about doing it till now.
Lol, I like to grind those games even when i don't have to.
I beat Limbo yesterday. I only died a few several dozen times. If you liked Braid, I would highly recommend you check it out.
The atmosphere was great, really eerie with the soundtrack being silent most of the time. It has a great mix of platforming and puzzles, forcing you to think as often as you end up relying on your reaction skills. You never get the feeling that, "Oh, this a going to be a puzzle part," or "This is definitely an action part," because you end up having to think about where you are going to run or what you'll land into if you mistime the jump, since some of the solutions require sequential actions. It is so well blended that it feels like they usually require both skills.
None of the puzzles or action segments are particularly hard, if you die, it is always your fault, and you definitely know it. Two spots really pissed me off for a while, and one puzzle had me stumped for a good 10 minutes mostly due to its simplicity.
The black on grey color palette is used really effectively. Lots of things blend into the foreground and background perfectly, adding to the atmosphere.
It's a short game, only about 4 hours, but I thought it was well worth the 1200 points on XBL.
Yep, playing through Limbo now. It's a pretty simplistic puzzle platformer, but the style and atmosphere is so great it doesn't have to be any deeper than it is. That part with the spider creeped me out.
StarCraft 2 no-life time. the game is so epic that no words can describe its awesomeness. After i finish campaign i'm gonna go online in 2v2 and 3v3 league with my friends.
BlazBlue: Contiuum Shift.
...and I suck at it. They nerfed Rachel (my main in CT) to unusable, and aside from Litchi, I've got nothing. I tried Tsubaki, but she doesn't fit my style. She's fun, but I'm not going to get anywhere with her.
That, and I can't beat the Arcade Boss. At all.
I am in serious need of some practice.
Don't EVER cash them.
You need most of this Souls to buy Magic, Miracles or to upgrade your weapons into special versions of them.
The thing here is, though, that you need to finish he full game 4 times if you want the Platinum Trophy. Im still working on that. I've already acquiered all Magic. I need about 3 more miracles and a few weapons... which means I need 2 more games.
I guess you can cash them then, but it ain't worth it.
Im level 159 btw.
Any of the DLC characters available already? Or rather... is Makoto available?... since Platinum and Valkenhayn are still on development.
According the the DLC schedule, Makoto is out on August 5th, along with the Version 1.01 patch.
The finer details on 1.01 are scarce. It may make Rachel viable again (likely, since she has been an absolute wreck since CS, most Rachel players had no choice but to abandon her), and it may also nerf Litchi (sadly likely, as they overdid it on her sorely needed damage buff from CT).
That said, even though Litchi has gone from the bottom to the top in terms of viability, it seems a lot of people aren't playing her, going for the easier characters and Hazama. Litchi's combos are really long, like 10+ moves rather often, so they take a lot of dedication to learn. In a way, she's similar to Rachel in how much time you have to put into her, which is why she's my new main.
plus she has big boobies!
I should really get into the story mode to unlock Mu, but most of them are locked until you play Ragna's, and I hate Ranga. Also, I've spent most of my time with the game having to learn a new character since they trashed Rachel.
That said, the tutorial modes are surprisingly awesome. Rachel narrates/instructs, and some of her lines are really funny. The Beginner Mode control scheme also lets button-masher friends who aren't used to fighting games play semi-competitively.
edit:
I forgot. Most of the forum members interested in BlazBlue are on the PS3, but for anyone on the Xbox 360, my gamertag is Ryllharu, and I'll be on after 4pm EST during the week or in the gotwoot IRC channel. If you want to play a few bouts, find me at one spot or the other.
I've switched my main to Litchi, am trying to learn Tsubaki, and will most likely pick up either Makoto or delta-11/nu-13.
Personally, I've never considered myself an all-out gamer for fighters, so I don't really have a main. I do enjoy playing some characters more than others, yes, but I mostly use 'random select' when playing friends. I hate Jin. More than Carl.
I prefer story mode more though.
But Im really looking forwards to those tutorials now that you tell me Rachel narrates them.
BTW. I bought the Noel Nendoroid from the Japanese limited edtion. She's freaking cute. I'll try and get a picture later at home.
BlazBlue is much more complex than fighters like Tekken or SF, and even a lot more sophisticated than Guilty Gear.
The game somewhat necessitates the need to main a character. All of them play so completely differently because of the Drive system. For example, Taokaka requires a lot of practice to learn how to fake out and dance around. A lot of her moves simply won't hit purely on who the opponent is (height and stance). She's really fragile, so you have to never be where your opponent expects.
The wonderful thing about that is there is a character who specializes in pretty much every type of play style someone might have. There are zoning characters (Rachel/delta-11, who vastly differ between each other btw), there are mistake punishers (Tager), dancing characters (Tao), mix-up (Litchi/Bang/Hazama, again vastly different between them), dodger/rushers (Noel), pure rushers (Ragna/Makoto), hybrid rushers (Tsubaki), counterers (Hakumen), shotos - like Ken/Ryu (Jin), and more.
I highly recommend going over to dustloop just to read a little insight from people who really focus on the characters. You don't have to read their in-depth combo guides and frame references/advantages breakdowns, but their pros/cons overviews are spot on.
If you want cheap souls go to 4-2 and just kill the reaper over and over - its faster to commit suicide than to use spell to go back to nexus.
and you can get platinium in 3 playthrougs - you can purify dragon god soul and then utilize it to learn the spell in one playthrough.
As for BlazBlue CS - i envy you - it will take long time before its released here(If it will ever be released here..). Is delta-11 much different from Nu?
I just started playing Assassin's Creed II. It feels a little better than the first game, but it's not as amazingly different from the original as everyone made it out to be. It could be all the Italian elements that bother me, and I particularly hate the mixing of Italian with English speech. Still somewhat enjoyable.
I'm alternating between castlevania order of ecclesia and SC2. I would love to play Castlevania symphony of the night on my ps3... but this PSX classic is only released in NA PSN...
@ animus
I have only pc, ps3 and nds..
It's on XBLA too if you have a 360. Though, not sure if it's in the EU XBL.
Yes it's on EU xbl.
Currently playing Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, much better then I thought it would be.
I tried the trial version of Harmony of Despair, but I didn't really like it. It certainly wouldn't be worth the 1200 points for me.
On the other hand, I did enjoy my first match of Monday Night Combat. I couldn't really handle the slow speed of the Gunner, but I did have fun with the Assassin. I died a lot getting the feel for how squishy she was, but Grapple Kills were a blast. It is a fun 3rd person Team Fortressy game, but aside from the cartoon styling and class-based combat, it has a lot more in common with a tower defense game against an opposing team. Turrets play a huge role in the map I was on, so teamwork is really essential to break the stalemate between the two teams in order to get the bots through.
It's more like a fusion of Team Fortress 2 and DoTA.
There's a few more similarities. Such as deploying sentries, the medigun and the medigun health buffer. What the medigun does differently is that it also drains health from enemies with it's alternate fire.
