Title: Portal 2
Post by: pctech on Jun 04, 2011, 15:35:19
Bought and downloaded this via Steam (good job I bought that additional bandwidth as it took a big chunk out of my inclusive bandwidth and took about 8 hours to download)

Quite an interesting puzzle game.

Yeah I want to get this, but it's not worth £30 for a days gaming. It's not really the sort of game I'd go back to and I don't really play online anymore, plus I have no headphones/mic to chat to people to tell them what to do, or hear them telling me I'm rubbish ;D

I'll definitely get it when the price drops. I think I've still got a couple of levels to go on Portal actually. I've had that since the day it was released and only started playing it a few weeks before Portal 2 came out!

Talking of bandwidth, there were a couple of "free weekends" going around on games. But I forgot to set the downloads on Friday night, so can't play em now. Unless I want to looks 15 odd GB. :(

Yeah I couldn't be bothered with black ops.

Well, there is the fact it's a rather lacklustre attempt at a game as well. ;)

Been spending hours on Mortal Kombat on the xbox (not taken it online as my connection is too slow for XBL)

Is that any good? I was going to get it this month, but totally forgot. Plus going to London later this month, so I thought I'd wait until payday at the end of this month as I'm off for two weeks then (WOO!).

it is still 2D as the old SNES version was but the graphics look better and you have the slow motion combos which show you the bones breaking x-ray style.
