wut? Your health regenerates when you stop taking hits. The only health bars are in vehicles.

Your health regenerates very slowly when you stop taking hits.

Health packs are in the game for a reason, nurb.

If you like Halo it's a great game. Solid singleplayer campaign, comes with Halo 3's multiplayer with all of its maps, and then has its own multiplayer cooperative mode called Firefight which is good times.

Firefight is really only good if you have other people to play with. By yourself it's kind of gay, and super hard.

[Digital Limit]

Well yeah, that's how I feel about any multiplayer game.

Just how DL likes it.

[Digital Limit]

Sounds about right.

Mass Effect 2 is a fantastic, galaxy sprawling, blow ‘em up space opera that will constantly keep you guessing and striving to see what’s next. The depth of the story and character development is some of the best I’ve ever experienced. Once again the decisions you are forced to make can make you downright cringe at the thought of what may happen

We don't need a fucking review.

Also, I bought ME2 because it was 30 bucks, but I can't really play it because of all the exams that are right around the corner. I'll just have to stare at the cover for the next 2 weeks...

I finished it yesterday and my FMV point still stands. The gameplay was totally without any merit.

I finally have interwebs at home. I am downloading all the free shit on Cerberus Network now.

The action is awful. You run through boring linear levels, pick up credits by playing shitty mini-games, and kill things with an oversimplified hybrid of RPG and shooter combat. It's more tolerable than DA:O's predictable, long, boring dungeons were, but it's still worse than it has to be. Bioware sucks at action.

I'm still loving the game, though, just like the first one. The universe is so immersive. I just wish they could have put it in a less clunky, boring package. Maybe sandbox planets/cities, or even just destructible environments. Something to break up the monotony of going through the same tedious routine in every combat mission. Gears of War was linear, but the combat was fun. Why didn't they make the combat fun in ME2? Maybe because it would be too awesome, and they sort of had to balance it so other developers wouldn't kill themselves.

Also, since there's no thread for it, Assassin's Creed 2 is the worst game I've played this year. The gameplay is unchallenging and repetitive (you literally use the same handful of mechanics for 20+ hours, over and over, and keep in mind everything is pathetically easy… I've died twice… from falling), the plot changes from lame but amusing to incomprehensible conspiracy theory cliches, and the world is so static I'm playing with my headphones off so I don't have to hear the same lines repeated over and over. I'd rather have spent my $60 on feces. Seriously. If I could go back in time, I would prefer to pay someone $60 for their feces than buy AC2. I wouldn't do anything with their feces, I just think the novelty of paying $60 for feces would have been more worthwhile than playing AC2. I can't believe I got caught in the hype machine.

Sir, I happen to have just had a particularly strong cup of coffee, and the time machine is right this way.
