a mate of mine has assassins creed on PC, walking around the cities is absolutely amazing, but I hear the game can get pretty tedious
Yup, Mass Effect will be out on 27th I think. Really looking forward to that one too. It'll be out here on the 30th though, so still a bit away...have to play other games between now and then

Crysis is not as good as CoD4. I'm really just playing for the eye-candy, cause it just feels like Farcry with better graphics. The storyline is very cheap and the missions are the same over and over again...go to point A, kill a bunch of dudes, disable whatever/find whoever. Go to point B, kill a bunch of dudes, disable whatever/find whoever and so on...you get the idea. Plus the distances now are a lot bigger, so it gets a bit tiresome running around in the island...if at least they gave you a fast car to cover the distances...but no, the fastest truck does 30 mph.

Call of Duty 4 was incredible though. From fast adrenaline pumping action to some really eerie environments when you are in Chernobyl and even some emotional moments in the middle of the game. The ending was really fantastic too. I actually thought I had screwed up there at one point.

And about Assassin's Creed, I've heard that it can get a bit tiresome, but I'm willing to give it a try cause the premise of the game is one that I really like.

Half-Life is still a game that I can't quite get into for some reason...that and the fact that whenever I try to install a friend's copy to see how it is compared to HL1, it never works out with that steam crap, so I guess I'll just pass for now.

I think I'll give World in Conflict a try next just to have a good change of pace from the shooters. A friend also lent me Sins of a Solar Empire...been playing it for a couple of days and it is really good...a Trek mod would really fit into it.
