Vampire: Bloodlines is one of my all time favourite PC games though it was also probably the buggiest software bar Frontier: First Encounters I ever came accross.

Strangely, I've never really had any problems with either that you mentioned.

Had more issues with Steam(ing pile of poo).

The hotel level in Bloodlines is still one of the best levels ever created. It feel genuinely creepy. It's superb.

HAWX is another game which is infinitely superior in Co-Op .

Bloodlines was so buggy I uninstalled it after an hour. Drove me mad. Never went back.

Have I missed something with this? I cannot see why it's got such good reviews? It's a mixture of Serious Sam and Doom 3.
I didn't enjoy it either, even in co-op it bored the tits off me. Versus mode as well was about as boring as they could have made it. It could have been much much better.

It should have been a half price game from day one, because it's only half a game.

Halo Wars coming tommorow, can't wait. Got those nice people at shopto to pricematch it down.

Still trying to get to grips with civ rev, I suck.

I have both, I know where both copies are (in front of me), and I love both. Top notch gaming.

Just played through the first chapter on KillZone 2 and wow what an experience from pretty much putting the disk in. I never thought I would see the day that an opening video from the Dawn of War series was bettered. But hell yes this is good.

It has been billed and compared to Gears of War 2. Although the story line is a lot different, so is the pacing upto now. KZ2 feels a lot more intense. Much prefer this to GoW 2. Upto now I got to say I am loving it.

First chapter is one of the weaker ones tbh, think that's intense, wait until you see the final level. On elite it was the most difficult gaming experience i have ever encountered, bloody brilliant.

Oh what a coincidence i'm just playing through Bloodlines again at the moment. It's such a shame we'll never see a sequel now though. I can only hope that the World of Darkness mmo turns out to be good. *Fingers Crossed*
