Nah, never played any Treyarch games, but I know what you mean. If you took cover in COD2 veteran for longer than 15 seconds, you were promptly rewarded with a hail of excellently-placed grenades

MW3 multiplayer is free for the weekend via Steam. I'm too cheap to buy it, so this will be nice.

I actually did it for the third time last week.

The first two times were on PC. The third time was on the 360.

Anyone want into the Tribes: Ascent beta? I just got an email saying I can invite someone.

Played Bioshock 2 for a while today. I loved the first one, but I got stuck somewhere, died, and it re-spawned me outside the area I was inand for some reason I couldn't get back in. Faff.

This one is also great. Very atmospheric and I do expect something around every corner. I do find myself checking every single nook and cranny for something to pick up though. Time consuming.

Currently i play 4 games which are as follows:

- MW3
- NFS Run
- Bulletstrom
- Assassin's Revelation.

The gameplay is only marginally better too. The equipping weapons and plasmids at the same time is a nice touch (though kind of an obvious addition).

Great case example of what happens when a secondary developer works on a game in a franchise while the developer of the original works on the third of the series (Bioshock: Infinite). They don't tamper with the formula at all and basically just ride the coattails of the game's namesake.

^ Agreed. I couldn't get into Bioshock 2 at all and never ended up finishing it. And the first Bioshock was one of the best games I've ever played. It looks like they'e putting actual effort into the third one though.

Bioshock 2 doesn't have the freshness of the first, but considering the gameplay is much like a slightly enhanced version of the first game, I find it downright strange - almost hypocritical - that someone would absolutely love the first, but think of the second game as such poor quality as to not bother much with it.

Bioshock 2 only failed (slightly) as a sequel. On it's own feet as a game, I think it was good. 5/6!
