Good man A non-linear campaign (or at least less linear) should add some replay There's an obligatory Horde like mode in multiplayer too which looks like fun.

Think you mean Xbox & PC for L4D2, just won't be on the PS3.

We've covered this before, exclusive is primarily used as a console thing, always has been for as long as I remember.

to me exclusive means it's coming to one of the next gen consoles

Same here. Many "exclusives" get released on the PC at some point so it's really just a console term for me.

An example of an exclusive franchise is Gears of War

Seeing as i play as many 360 titles as i can on my PC, the whole exclusive malarky just serves to confuse me. I just ignore it and check wikipedia

Not saying the terminology it right or wrong btw, just that it doesn't really help me much :/

Left 4 dead is a 4 hour game. The first one is nice and all that but it should be a £19.99 game. Its a decent enough game to play a few times in co-op then it gets dull. Versus mode is too slow.

L4D2 should just be an add on pack instead of another £39.99 game.

Forza looks great, hopefully as I'm a SP gamer the career is a bit more interesting.

Rockband is my main game I'm waiting for.

Assassins might be fun if it's not as bland as the usual Ubisoft fighting games.

Then again this has been the worst year I can remember for games so I'd take anything right now. Even looking through the upcoming titles for the year only a few are of real interest. Marvel Alliance, FN4, Call Of Juarez 2, Dirt 2. Just about all in the last quarter. I wish they would space titles out a bit better.

As a rpgamer why on earth did those in the know think it was a good idea to release this years first 360 rpgs Star Ocean IV, Sacred 2 on the same day and Tales of Vesperia a few weeks later. Cwazy.
