Fable 2? Far Cry 2?

Fable II is not very good from what I've been hearing from my own friends who have bought it. Now that doesn't go for everyone but based on what I'm hearing it won't last long. Don't flame on me for the Fable II.

Far Cry 2, completely forgot about it coming out last week. It would fill in for a random one.

Completed Gears2 really easily. Quite disappointed. Still very good, but was expecting more from it. It's just an expansion pack, but it's Gears still so a worthy buy.

hehe i also finished it already but im not disappointed...

You should try some Horde mode with 2 players, see where you can get, its really fun and it gets really hard too..

I have 2 orders for this, and have to decide which to keep, I have normal and LE ordered, is it really worth it for the limited edition, the difference is ?7.50 from where I ordered.

Any suggestions? any video/screen shot of that Gold Lancer you get in Multiplayer?

You see it in the IGN video review, nothing too special, in fact it looks pretty cheesy....

I'm thinking the same, but I still kinda want it to match my GOW1 LE box lol

heh GoW2 gets blasted for it's narrative:

Brawny, burly, and beefy, Marcus Fenix and his bros are an abnormally thick necked posse of gun totting, testosterone jacked numbskulls. Only jibes and retorts are sputtered from their mouths, and the sole emotion mustered on their thick skinned faces is either resolute anger or pinched indifference. Even then, it only appears when these guys have crushed a thousand Locusts underfoot. Just like its predecessor, Gears of War 2 simply relishes in its dimwitted machismo.

I finally think I found a review I agree with. I'm sure it'll upset some chest thumping macho fans though. :p

Isn't that what Gears 1 & 2 strived to be with their "story/acting"?

It's not meant to be a heartfelt romance..

Really? Is that why the shoehorned in Doms wife in GoW2?

Did he even mention her in GoW1? Hell every 2nd scene is about her in 2. :rofl:

That was to cater for big ole softies like you who complained after GOW obviously ;) :p

I just expected more. I mean Unreal was **** poor, Unreal 2 was worse, GoW was missing a chapter all together. How many times do you need a swing before you finally hit it right? :p

Still the console crowd is notoriously easy to please. ;) :p

But anyway, how long till people get this I'm interested in completing it co-op with someone. But I'm not braving it with a complete stranger. :)

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
