I gave it a 8.5 actually. I don't give a **** about graphics, but it's a bit glitchy in places.

Define Black Ops 2 - "In marketing language, a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries. However, the special feature is typically thought to be of little relevance or use. Thus, a gimmick is a special feature for the sake of having a special feature."

“By practically every measure this will be the worst year for [games] retail since 2006.”
"games dollar sales so far this year are at $3.3 billion. In 2011 - a decline-year that everyone was describing as pretty dire - we were at $5 billion."
“The total value of the January through October video game software market has shrunk by nearly 46 percent since 2008. For every dollar made during the heyday of the market...the industry is only generating fifty four cents today.”

If games were like they were a few years back perhaps people would be buying as much as they were.

I don;t recall ever having to pay anythign extra for my bf games. Plus i played them for years. I think that is the problem. Make them too good and ppl won't need to spend any more money for a few years.

People keep saying they dont buy **** games but Activision-Blizzard has 3.2billion of pure profit sitting in their bank account while the good guys such as Square-Enix and THQ are trying to pull in every dollar to stay alive. Activision dumped Sleeping Dogs becuase they couldnt do anything worth while with it so Square-Enix snapped it up and nursed it into a **** awesome game but nobody bought it, seriously what the ****?

So did I. Well I pirated it first, did a few missions and I was like "This game is worthy of my hard earned money" So I bought it. Then I told my mate about it and he bought it on his PS3. Then I told my brother about it who also bought it. My step Dad saw me playing it and bought it on his PS3. I told another mate about it and he just pirated it and finished it without paying a cent, but oh well. He'll probably still spread the word. Oh well, on the topic of this game. It looks like a steaming pile of **** for the cost of it. If it cost $20 to $30 I would pay for it. Because I'm not paying full price for a game that isn't a game, it's an expansion. It's using the engine COD4 used in 2007. It's old and dated and to be honest it's starting to look like **** in comparison to other games. Seriously, still no destructible environments? Then they'll of course have their four sets of $15 DLC to throw in your face because the $89.99 for a complete and total console port wasn't already a massive green slag in the eye. It's a **** joke, stop supporting the pockets of these *****. They're robbing you. GOOD DAY SIR!

I never gave far cry 2 a fair go. I might have to try it again once I've finished AC2, AC brotherhood and AC revelations.

Its an acquired taste that's for sure, on paper it is as boring as hell drive here do a mission rinse and repeat and that's it. For me though i compensate that with behaving like a hooligan driving over people blowing stuff up and sending cars barrels and guys all over the place just to sit back and drive with out doing any missions at just look for diamonds is really good fun.

Quote: Square Enix has announced five DLC packs for Sleeping Dogs, due to be released over the course of the holiday season, including one which will extend the game's story. The Zodiac Tournament pack will be the second piece of DLC to move the title's narrative on after last month's Nightmare in North Point pack. Due for release later this year, it'll see Wei invited to compete in a hidden island off the coast of Hong Kong where fighters from across Asia have come to compete. It'll introduce a new island, enemies, cutscenes and fighting moves. **** yeah!

Do you think I travelled to California alone? I mean, there were about 40 xboxs there for multiplayer, but I was the only person who went?
But I appear to be the only one disclosing this information.
Why is that? Do the other sites think that maybe idiots will take that honesty to imply dishonesty? Wouldn't that be ironic?
Also Diablo 3 was awful. It still doesn't have PVP. I should have scored it lower.

They could fly me over on a private jet while **** stars pleasured me and each other and a machine poured high quality coke straight into my nasal passage, then after we landed a limo with a pool table and spa area could pick me up and take me to the game testing area where they would add $5,000 to my bank account for every kill I got in game and I'd end the day by saying:
"I really don't like these generic FPS you guys keep making. Have you considered branching out?"

I wonder if Joaby wears cuff links? i guess if you were going on a plane as someones guest you would have to wear cufflinks and underpants.
Imagine the embarrassment if you were asked if you had any thing to declare at customs and you had to admit you had no undies on.
Cuff links are what sets us above the apes if your not wearing cuff links your pretty bloody average and will never get a girl of that you can be assured.

It's true. Every woman's magazine that I've looked through to see if there were pictures of tits (Thus far: 100%. Funny that I can't bring pornographic mags to work, but women are okay to have a Cleo sealed section full of different kinds of errect **** and different nipple shapes...) have told me that the first thing a woman looks at is your cufflinks. Mine are in the shape of the Scourge flag... I'm that guy.

Also Diablo 3 was awful. It still doesn't have PVP. I should have scored it lower. Im already seeing almost perfect scores from the big players who have huge advertising revenue departments. Your score seems more reasonable for a solid annual COD release meaning there will be no need for a royal commission. IMHO you should have given it 0/10 and cashed in on the storm of haters, you could have been bigger then IGN.
