Broken Steel just extends the game after the "final" mission. You can go above level 20 and such before you finish it as long as you have Broken Steel.

It's propably better than all spider-man games. The game is full of action, some missions are difficult, but the feeling of chaos in the city and usage of many special powers make this game worth to play.

Good game.


But not as good as Infamous.

Or Assasin's Creed, Prince Of Persia, or Mirror's Edge.

Matter of fact, Prototype was a bit shit.


I havent played Prototype yet, but I agree that Mirror's Edge is astounding. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Beyond 20... You really want to set the world on fire ?

I died too much in Mirrors Edge for my liking.

Apperently my depth perception, and her depth perception is very different.

I still think L4D2 is a rip-off. I mean, of course I'll be stupid enough to buy it anyways because that's just totally me. But still...L4D was only released a year ago, it was way too short, Valve have been promissing to release new maps for it and it never happened. Except that half assed download content from a few months ago but that mode should have been in the game when it was released anyways. And I'm pretty sure L4D2 will be a full price game and just as short as L4D.

I've played that game pretty much nightly since I got it, usually for about five hours a time. xD I bought the game knowing it woul dhave no story at all, and wouldn't at all be about length, but how many times I play it. I play it alot. xD

I've recently finished Fallout 3 and have been debating buying the DLC for it. The game was a lot of fun, but doesn't seem to have a very high re-play value (then again, I'm not much into shooters.)

Fighting games are my thing. :twisted: Nothing better in the gaming industry than the fierce competition and boiling bad blood that motivates the fighting gamers.

It has replay value if your achivement whore. xD Or if you feel like doing some things different. For instance, my brother ended being warred on by the ghouls, while I was trading with them and they were helping me out in fire fights and all sorts.

I played it a lot too, a whole lot. And mostly co-op with friends. But it's a fact that L4D only has 4 maps and no matter how much fun it may be, it's just too few maps. They could have made 4 new maps for L4D and sell them for 800 MS points or something, instead of releasing a new game with only 5 maps only 1 year later that is essentially the same game again for probably another 60 Euros/bucks. I mean, except for the setting L4D2 really doesn't look much different compared to L4D.

There're a few features that are pretty different, but I know what you mean. I think part of it is down to how much they're trying to add to the new one - The AI director has a lot more power, for instance. The alarms that need to be deactivated to stop the horde, as well as various new special infected and weapons, stuff like that. I'm not a programming savvy person, but I assume they would have to change the original game alot for change these things. That, and you'd be surpirsed how many people are less willing to buy Microsoft moneys than they are to buy a solid game.

On the maps front, they are planning to release more soon, and valve are usually (I think? I could be thinking of someone else here, but don't know who for the life of me.) pretty good at releasing what they say they'll release. EIther way, I'm looking forward to it like a crack addict for his next delicous, rotting-flesh fix.

Going by bits and bobs of things that I've found for L4D2, Ithink Valve knwo what they are doing. It definately seems as if they've thought things through. so I trust them to release something good. 8)

Fix'd.

I'm with EphelDuath on this one. The new game seems a rip off, but I'm not really one to care, since I just play it on my friend's 360 anyway.

Left4Dead 2 is definitely for profit. No question.

How do you know?

After the Vivendi suit, they teamed up with ELECTRONIC ARTS.

Plus I guess they have ANOTHER lawsuit with Activision Blizzard or something.

Admittedly Valve has a pretty solid record with games, though.

By the way, Atlus has one downfall (or it's another high quality): http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ThatOneBoss/Atlus
