    I didn't get any of them after the first, was severely overhyped it's ok when in a trailer they can show what you can do like eavesdrop, but when you play the game and have to do it every 10 mins, it's just mind numbingly dull, Ubisoft is going down the drain.

    First was terrible and repetitive, second was actually fun (or is as far as I've gotten into it, got distracted and attention shifted to other games). Ubisoft are looking a lot stronger than they were 3-5 years ago now.

    Revelations in November promises to take it to a new level!

    They are full of too many franchises like Tom Clancy, and none of them have ever wowed me.

    Splinter Cell conviction was pretty good, mostly because of the story

    Portal 2 is real good, but might be worth just renting rather than buying as after you've completed the story there is nothing left to do, other than a co-op story mode.

    Ooh, Co-op. Interesting. I'll probably end up just buying it to be honest. It's like, what, 25 quid now I think? By the time I next get some money it'll probably be around 20 so might as well. I'd just forget to take it back if I rented it.

    I bought it, have played it through twice and will most likely play it through again at some point. It all depends on how into the story you are i guess. Oh also, Steve Merchant is brilliant in it.

    Yeah Portal has a shed load of replay value in all honesty, so I think it'll definitely be worth just buying. Not too expensive either way.

    Fantastic, real looking forward to it now! Might see if I can 'borrow' some money off someone :bandit:

    Portal 2 was on sale on steam a few days ago for like £15, oh people are making custom maps for Portal 2 aswell, so theres some replayability there. Done Co-op with my girlfriend, she got mad that Glados said I was the best.

    Games I am looking forward to are Skyrim, Guild Wars 2 (if it is released this year), and Dead Island looks really good from the trailers, not actual gameplay footage yet though I think.
