Right, I bought a 2100 Microsoft Points card from GAME, typed in the code and it kept saying it was not valid, so I rang Microsoft and got through to some Asian woman (India probably) and I could not understand a word she was saying, so I got a reference number and took it back to GAME, they gave me another one. It worked.
So, I was definately going to get the Mythic Map Pack when it releases on the 9th of April, however, I still had 1300 Microsoft Points left so it was a straight choice. The Pitt for Fallout 3 or Knothole Island for Fable II. I went for Knothole, because people who had bought The Pitt were complaining of glitches, freezing issues etc. and I love Fable and I hadn't played it in ages. So, first of all, I've done it. Another stupidly short piece of DLC that I have been ripped off on. Seriously, I have only ever bought one piece of DLC, that I have been satisified I have got my money's worth and that is Lost and Damned for GTA IV. Anyway, good news is I got the last three achievements that I hadn't done on Fable because I hadn't got Knothole so 1100G on Fable 2. :D
Last Saturday, I was browsing around ASDA when I noticed a good deal, Dead Space, brand new, £19. Pretty good deal and awesome game. Definately has an essence of BioShock about it. I love everything about it, the sound, the graphics, story, everything is brilliant. I never play it after midnight though, scares the living daylights out of me.
Well, Gears of War 2 didn't have a great start to it's multiplayer life. Really slow matchmaking times, hundreds of glitches and exploits. However, the third title update, might well bring a lot of lost Gears fans back. The main change in the new ranking update. It's very similar to CoD, basically it's just numbers and it goes up to 100. It's simple, but it's better than that old crappy one that no-one knew what they had to do to get promoted. Also, I found that chainsaw was less effective. When Gears 2 first came out, I was getting chainsawed left, right and centre, now I can actually defend myself. Not sure whether Epic made the shotgun more powerful, or decreased the amount of bullets a player can take.
There is a new map pack out for Gears 2 called the 'Snowblind Map Pack' (I think :S). It contains 4 maps. One of which being a remake of the old Gears 1 classic, Fuel Depot. I have never bought a map pack for Gears 2 (Probably due to the fact I bought Hidden Fronts Map Pack for Gears 1, possibly the worst map pack ever, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WITH BULLET MARSH????!!!) except for the flashback map pack but they came free with Gears 2. However, if I can a few mates back on Gears 2, might think about it.
Alright, take it easy.
*EDIT* Oh yeah, going try and get a review up of Fallout 3 tonight. My reviews aren't like this:
'This game iz crap cuz it is full of n00bs'
They are pretty substantial (expect some of my earlier ones :p), so if you could check out some of my other reviews and check out the Fallout review when it is up, it would be much appreciated.
