AC2 is about 50 times better, give or take an exponent. They managed to get rid of a lot of the repetition, in my opinion, and did a much better job at immersing you in the story. So if you like the first one, even a little bit, I /highly/ recommend investing in the second.

I can back this. No I have not played, but I watched both my roommates play it and beat it. It does look and play better. And brohood has great multiplayer that is unique and fits well with the franchise.

Ditto to the two above; Brotherhood also does a great job of removing repetition and the practically endless number of sidequests can keep you going forever.

A few of CoD players believe that Black Ops is not as good as MW2, and that "few" ruled the ratings at game site, like gamefaqs, where MW and MW2 got 9.4 and 9.3 each, and Black Ops got a 8.8... so i agree with this: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileD ... id=9439427

I know one thing everyone harped on with the first one was Altair's voice actor -- but he's supposed to be cold, almost robotic. I thought it fit quite well. And though I really like Ezio and AC2 is much better than the first (which is already amazing) I miss playing as Altair. (I currently have his outfit equipped on Ezio). The one complaint I have about AC2 is that sometimes it feels too busy - treasure chests, multiple kinds of side quests, rebuilding a city, armor and weapons that I have to buy and repair, etc. What is this, Grand Theft Assassin Fantasy?

Still, it's a great game. Even with my complaints I give it a 9.5.

Haha really? Two screenshots have been released so far (today and yesterday) http://masseffect.bioware.com/media/screenshots/ It's to bridge ME2 and ME3 and it's about the mass relays. This has kinda been a blaze on the internet.

Mutliplayer-wise, I enjoyed MW2 a lot more than Black Ops. Black Ops has had it's moments, but it feels too similar to MW2, I think. It almost feels as if it's a MW2 expansion.
And spawning in Black Ops is terrible (at least on PC). 4/5 times, I spawn right near an enemy and die within 3 seconds.

I have a feeling if I had a 360, this would be one of my fav games right now (of course when it comes)

Also Arrival ME2 dlc is confirmed with date and price so ME2 is back on my list.

Yes! I was hoping someone else saw that! FEZ looks amazing. I was sold as soon as the music started.

Right now, Lord of the Rings Online is pretty high on the list. I've been playing a lot of LotRO lately... I've also been getting into Day of Defeat: Source a lot too, definitely one of my favorite Source games, it just has such a great challenge to it.

I played it a good bit, though League of Legends eventually beat it out. I did get to like level 17 as a Hobbit hunter on one of the servers; dont remember which one. I'd recognize it if you named it though, so if you give me your tag and server, if its the same one we may have to play sometime.

Yeah, I played that as well but never really got into it cuz I basically only play Halo & Black Ops nowadays and don't have time for any other games.

I play on the Arkenstone server on the US Client. My main character is Farithor, a Lore-Master and he's currently level 55. Yeah, if your on the same server that would be sweet, I'm in Moria right now and its pretty cool, it's huge and there's so much to do. LotRO is so much fun when you get leveled up, get Legendary items, and join raids. Even if your hobbit isn't on that server, you can start a new one and I would help you level up. It's really a fun game once you get up there.

Name: Delthas
Human Guardian.
Dont remember the lvl

Haven't played in a while though, low lvl. got a little bored with it. I knew a few other people on there, but we were never in the same place, except for a couple times, but it turned out i didn't need their help then...
