I think it's a sensible choice to have a multiplayer-only game if that's what it is meant to be rather than wasting resources on some single player campaign most people will spend a few hours on and then sell the game or onto multiplayer. While there's not many maps I don't find that's an issue...

Also the Warhammer 40,000 dreadnought isn't a mech either, it's a heavily armed walking sarcophagus. The Adeptus Mechanicus Titans are the Warhammer 40,000 equivalent of a mech: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Imperial_Titan#.T-s6i5LusuV John

I find it's generally random, sometimes I can get away cleanly but a lot of the time I get bounced around so much from the incoming weaponry that I'm stuffed. I've been told several times the game gets much better the more you play it but I'm finding the complete opposite. John

I think calling that section a 'tutorial' is a bit of a stretch as it fails miserably in that function, it tells you what the basic button functions are but that's it. Yes you can drive around with unlimited weaponry but it's utterly pointless as you have nothing to shoot at to test with the...

I don't really know why but I really, really enjoyed Borderlands as a co-op game and easily one of my favourites of this generation. Yes it is a bit of a joke they have to boast about features which should be standard for PC games but sadly in the current state of the market they are not...

Of recent times, the first Infamous game really stood out as having a superb ending although I guess you might not count it as a proper ending give the game has a sequel. I'd been getting a bit annoyed with Kessler who just seemed to be a stereotypical bad guy being bad for no particular reason...

I'm a bit confused about the part about the planet being blown up as that wasn't part of GoW3 or the previous games either? I wouldn't expect any mention of multiplayer in the review but I'm surprised there's little mention of it in the comments with the focus on the single player. I bought...

The moment I saw this thread title I immediately thought Child of Eden, Rez ranks as one of my all time favourites that I can still play through from start to finish and love every minute of it so on finding there was a pseudo-sequel I was pretty excited. I doubted it would live up to the...

I think the Stargate film is superb but SG-1 was passable at best, I didn't like the comedy/lighthearted aspect which I thought clashed with the whole concept of the ultra top secret Stargate system and their budget and its management were frequently appalling with some absolutely terrible...

Neither of my personal PS2's failed although they only had light use. However the PS2's were a constant pain in the neck at work as the test versions (same as the retail ones but could play any region, cd-r/dvd-r etc. and couldn't play DVDs) had lasers that failed all the time leading to me...

It's strange they didn't make more of an effort to get this out before the Legacy cinema release as I quite fancied watching it before going to see Legacy particularly as I was going with a younger brother who'd never seen the first one. I was surprised it wasn't available anywhere for a...

They do have them here and that's how I purchase my content on Live as I prefer it that way as Microsoft don't get my credit card details. It doesn't take much searching to find this out when considering entering CC details. Unfortunately we live in a no-blame culture it seems these days so...

It's not the internet you're paying for with Xbox Live and you certainly don't get a lot of the features available on Live on a PC simply because the 360 has the advantage of being a single platform. Plus there can be fees in playing the PC online particularly if you want to keep a good spot on...

The Master Chief wasn't genetically engineered at all, he was chosen at six years old based on natural genetic attrbutes (along with 74 others out of total pool of 150) and then at 13 years old had biochemical enhancements to provide the physical improvements to his body. As for the rather...

To be fair to Halo I think that's a fault of the terrible Halo community not the game itself which there's not much Bungie can do about. Halo is one of the games I've always found to be particularly enjoyable in team games, right back to the first version my workmates and I used to bring in...
