I have 2 copies of TR3, but no TR2!

I've only played Anniversary on the PSP. It looked good and played well so can definitely recommend that version.
If you have a PS3 it was also released on there as part of the the HD Trilogy Collection (also includes Legend and Underworld).

TR Anniversary on PS2 is very good Noobish. I would imagine the others do edge it visually but on PS2 it looks stunning.

Ohhhhh I was thinking of TR: Underworld that got trashed on PS2 and Wii. I'm guessing people generally only played one version, but are there any major differences? Mainly between PSP/PS2/Wii and 360?

I completed the campaign mode in Modern Warfare 3 (PS3) through Veteran difficulty. Loved the set pieces for each missions as it creates that intense atmosphere and the environment became very destructive. On the technical note, there were minor framerate decrease during the game, but I can live with it as I played it towards the end. Now I'm left with survival and special ops mode.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Most frustrating game I've played in recent years, and NOT because it's difficult (it's a cakewalk). Much of the game involves escaping groups of armed guards, except you're so adept at combat/countering that these fights are always a pushover, so the CONSTANT hassle you get from these guards proves to be a perpetual, eczema-like irritation rather than a challenge, just time-consuming events with no reward whatsoever, had me swearing at the screen in pure ANGER, with an ire I've not summoned in eons(!!!!)

Also, the f*cking horses. Again, you'll either be (boringly) tailing one of your assassinees or escaping guards, and your horse - which can easily leap over fences and the like - will get stuck on 1-inch high 'steps'/ridges on the landscape, necessitating a round trip to negotiate what are essentially piddlingly small steps for even a midget, nay a *baby*, even. This is f*cking frustrating. Truly. :evil:

Then you're just plain trying to RUN from guards...so your bloke grabs a building, and hangs there for a bit...while the guards are getting closer and closer...and you press 'B' to drop, and it doesn't respond straight away...and you've got to spend a good two/three minutes killing the ten or so guards that've been chasing you...and this happens ALL THE TIME...aaaaargh!!!

AND, don't get me on how easy it is to be on a very small building, want ot simply drop off, yet somehow you'll jump and mash your health down 50% because the controls simply are TOTALLY FLAWED and BARELY INTUITIVE AT ALL. Ug-auch,ach. :(

In fact, the whole thing is a big thing with lots of small and medium-sized things to do, yet none of those things are of much - if any - substance. I've spent a whole fortnight doing AssCreed 2 & 3, more fool me!

Binary domain for the 360. Controversal perhaps but I honestly though it was better than the gears of war games, mainly due to the story and characters being that much more interesting. That and there is something strangely fun about blowing apart robots limb from limb and seeing how they alter their attack patterns when you do blow off their heads/arms/legs/torsos etc. is really cool. I also liked how there are loads of different enemy types to fight, not to mention the many great boss fights in the game. Probably my favourite tps game in recent memory.

Starfox is the kind of game you can complete 10 times in a day,so why make me sit through the end credits every time?

They last a good 5 - 10 minutes and unless i'm missing something obvious,there is no way to skip them.

Is this perhaps nintendos stealthy way to force you into having a 10 minute break every half hour?

No flags in Revelations, the only collectables in Revelations are 100 Animus data fragments... well yeah flags :lol: , but I just enjoy the enviroments of the games so much that it doesn't bother me running around the cities again, and I also want to get 100% sync on the missions too, this was just my first playthrough just to experience the story...

Finished SINGULARITY on the X360. Not too bad, story line is a little all over the place sometimes with fliting between 1955 (great scott!!) and 2010...some nice set pieces, the train battle with the giant insect/mantis mutant thing, the ability to slow time and grab missile's out of the air to throw back was good. My only gripe was once you have powered up your TMD hand slow time down thingy majig, the game is incredible easy where you can just go around blowing people up all Akira like, still fun.

Then the ending, well, three different endings, good (cannon to the story line), bad and neutral, but it just made a change to have a good start, middle and end. Anyway, not one to go out of your way for, but if you get the chance its a good game and story.
