But this one is truly the best. Who would have thought a Nintendo game could be so violent and full of toilet humor

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

They really do keep getting better don't they? Not minor improvements either, Brotherhood actually takes the old concept and wraps it into a more gripping and varied storytelling experience. Exactly that which AssCreed 2 was sorely missing. Love it!

Ugh!

Never heard of it before, just a random pick out of AGlaunch. I'm totally charmed by this game. Nice graphics and music, funny characters, fantastic controls. Is there a game with better inertia? I hate it when the old guys fall in the water, they can't swim NOOOOooooooooooooo..............

Hope I run out of levels before it gets too old or too hard.

Still haven't played the third. What are your thoughts?
If you want my two cents on mass effect 3...Didn't absorbed me as much as the first two did, by the end I was struggling to find the will power to keep playing. The games certainly not bad by any stretch but I feel slightly let down and disappointed with Biowares choice to over streamline things, the RPG element seems to have lessened with each chapter, relies too heavily on set pieces and linear exploration.. At least the first one had the Mako for exploring the planets.

The first game really impressed me, perhaps the pacing was a little too slow for some of the younger gamers but I really liked it. Exploring the planets was good fun too and kind of reminded me of what a next Gen Elite game could look like (sort of) but alas the game become a victim of its own success and eventually tried to pander to everybody, leaving us with a pretty generic gaming experience...Ok where was I? Where's my Elite 4?!

It is totally outrageous If I remember it correctly it was set to be a family game, but I think Rare got a bit sidetracked hehe

Ah a race game where you can kick other players and beat them with a stick.

They should make more of those games, there is a certain satisfaction in successfully clubbing someone and then see them to crash royally.

I was playing L.A. Noire but... the game just sucks :/ The facial animations are quite cool of course and it has that wicked L.A. Confidential vibe, but as a game it falls really flat and it feels like the entire thing is on rails. Yuck!
