Starting over appears to be the answer to any new implements you want to discover. Some of us don't want to start over from scratch every time. sweatdrop

Crysis 2 is ******** awesome.
Great game to be honest, amazing story line, near perfect game play and wonderful graphics.

Sick game.

Does the suit still talk to you when you change its power mode?  

[Jason Kharo]

Yep, it's pretty cool.
SPOILER

The consciousness of the previous inhabitant (Phophet), starts to talk to you at the later stages in the game and says to you. "Get your s**t together Marine." And the very unoccasional sentence inspiring you. And at the end, you come out of his pit, but your name is Alcatraz, but you say, with the voice of the previous wearer, that your name is Phophet, which it isn't.

Space Marine
Dust 514
Diablo III (Yeah, right)
DOTA2

Maybe we can get some Diablo III info from Blizcon. I'm sure Blizzard can share some info, especially seeing as they are charging an arm and a leg for tickets.

In other news, got my Dark Angels DLC for Retribution yesterday, so buying a CE isn't all that bad. Also got a free copy of Mass Effect 2 because I bought Dragon Age 2. You get a slightly less mediocre game with a horribly mediocre game. Stay classy EA!  

[Lady Blodwynn]

You get a free game and you're not happy? Sheesh! talk2hand

Ah yes, our Mel is such an elitist these days, nothing can please his impossible high standards! xp

Mass Effect 2 was an okay game, but felt like a bastardisation of the first game. The first game was space opera, with a great, cold atmosphere that sucked me in and didn't let me go until the credits rolled by. The sequel was nothing a quick cash in action sequel with most things dumbed down or removed for the sake of speed.

Dragon Age 2 is a bad game with a few fun things in between. How bad? You don't get an actual long term goal or anything until late in the game, the final act really. Not that the first game was all that super. At least the second game was easier to fight through on easy, pity about it being on rails though.

Same can be said of Modern Warfare 2, a lousy sequel to an excellent first game.

Granted, I play my games for the story and Mass Effect 2 had a good story, I just hate it that the gameplay was so drastically changed, some for the good, a lot for the worst.  

[Lady Blodwynn]

It's always something isn't it?  

[Hoxtalicious]

There is no perfect game. There's always something that annoys. Even Half-Life 2!
