I am officially furious with myself for waiting almost a year to play Dead Space 2. Definitely would have cracked my top 5 last year if I had played it sooner. I don't quite like the story as much, but fuck me is it a gorgeous looking game and the combat and set pieces are fantastic.

Just played it last week myself, and I completely agree. Great game.

I still haven't played it either despite loving the first one. I have been planning to borrow it from a friend that bought it when it came out since it came out and have been using that as an excuse not to buy it.

I would say it's worth it to buy at this point. As I said, I think that the story in the first is better (so far, only on chapter 7 in 2), but overall I think that 2 is a much better game.

Just wondering if anybody has plat'd a game before? I'm almost done it with Uncharted 3

I've only maxed out a game on XBL once......Twigg has like 80000 plus Gamerscore on the 360, so I imagine it looks similar to his trophy setup on PSN. He's probably done at least five.

EDIT: Mine was Assassin's Creed 2

Fallout 3 and L.A. Noire.

It seems most games have at least one trophy/achievement that is ridiculously difficult (for me) to get.

Wow Infamous 2? How did you get all those fucking blast shards?

Finding all of the blast shards in the first inFamous is wayyyy harder.

I'm currently at eight. When I play through Mass Effect 2 again in the near future, I'll have nine, and if anyone wants to do some BF3 co-op trophy whoring with me, I'll have ten. There are a couple of other games that I have that are close to platinum, but I just don't feel like going back through (like FFXIII).

I also brought out Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare for a couple games online yesterday and did surprisingly well. I know I talked with swarley about getting a night going where we played this, who else has a copy and would be down? Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights work the best for me, as I don't work night.

EDIT: Also want to add that I have it for the 360, but I can also try and find it for my PS3 but I don't have a headset.

Absolutely. I know Twiggles has it too.

Finally finished portal 2...........amazing!

I saw you played it on 360. Did you buy it or get it from Gamefly?

If it was the former I'm surprised you didn't get the PS3 version with the added Steam functionality.

[Twigg4075]

It's in SR3 as well.

Oh shit! So I'll be able to find all the sex dolls, photo ops and drug stashes? Sweet!

I would also like to add that I participated in an Open Forum Radio gaming night Tuesday with Killzone 3. So much fun. I forgot how much I enjoy that multiplayer.

Played the Asura's Wrath and Choplifter HD demoes.

AW is basically "QTE: The Game" with playable bits in between.

The crazy shit that goes down is worth one play of the demo; if nothing else than to fight on the fuckin' MOON.

Choplifter is 'fly here, pick up dudes, earn high scores, don't run out of gas."

Neither is worth asking price but Choplifter is the more fun of the two.

gamefly just informed me

SAINTS ROW 3 IS ON the WAY!!!!!
