Most def, you gotta show me the ropes. I hope tam man gets L4D2 too.

I was tempted with dragon age, but I still need to play fallout 3. Maybe I'm just not in to RPG's anymore.

hell yeah, he should get it...i think pujoljunkie is/will get it too...its so much fun

yes, you should play FO3...great game...so epic

im also tempted to get borderlands since its a fps/rpg multiplayer game, but its just another "do i *really* need to get it?" kinda question

[Michael]

I'm tempted to pickup borderlands too because I love loot games, but I'm going to get MW2 first. After that I'll be shooter'd out.

How's the MP in L4D2? I've messed with the demo and was sort of underwhelmed with the campaign bit of it. I'll try it again after breakfast.

I'm in a serious gaming rut. There have never been more games that have caught my interest at any one time, but I just turn on the Xbox and stare at the TV for a few minutes.

L4D is all about MP. It's a team based game.

Honestly I didn't play the first as much as I would have liked. I want to put more time into L4D2.

[Jocephus]

yeah, l4d2 (and the first) are all about teamwork...and the bots in l4d2 seem to have gotten worse if you play by yourself...plus, they've upped the difficulty

theres also VS mode and scavenge which are fun...VS can be intense

additionally, for the past month or so the l4d/2 servers have been crap...though, the past few days they've improved dramatically...always good to not play with lag

Yup. I probably won't have it until around Christmas, but I'll definitely have it. Although I am a little miffed at Valve giving all of the promises they made to add on to L4D1 and never came through, I can't pass up this game.

If you guys get it, make sure to remember me. I'm not so great at survivor gameplay but I'm awesome as the infected.

Aha, I've been wondering why I couldn't get these lightning deals...They don't show at all in Opera. Anyway, ODST is $30 right now.

This 1 vs 100 trivia is fun.

[Michael]

I picked up ODST.

[Tambourine Man]

Good, good...I still haven't messed with it much. I was up til 5 AM just being thoroughly entertained on SD. It's pretty funny to just observe people freaking out..."It's in my cart but I can't see the cash back! Should I cancel? I got a confirmation email that says different from my amazon invoice!"

Damn near bought a TV I don't need at all.
