I'm currently playing Forza 2 again at the moment. Despite loving it and completing a lot of races, I had a really low gamerscore on it so I was determined to go back to complete some more series, and reach level 50. Up to level 41 now and really enjoying it again. Still need to do all the time trials and exhibition races at some point, but I tend to pick at them and do one here and there if I don't have enough time for a longer session.

Also playing Gears 2 from time to time. Finished on Normal difficulty with Leo in co-op, and we'll be going through it on Insane at some point. Still want to get some more private MP matches going as they were really fun in Gears 1. Nothing like taking off someone's head with a longshot and then boasting about it to them a minute later

I played Forza 2 loads when I first got it, good fun But then I think I overplayed it as it was getting boring so I've left it for a bit. Have to go back to it at some point, tad too many games to play at the moment though
Think it's time for a post-big release time clearout.

Still mostly playing WAR when I get the chance. Hit lvl 20 with my witch hunter last night and can now buy a horse. \o/

Been having a bash at No More Heroes on the Wii as well. It's utterly nuts. Between assassination jobs I've been collecting coconuts to earn cash and taking a dump at my motel to save the game.
Combat is fast and furious but a little bit button mashy for me and the camera doesn't keep up very well.

BF2 daily would you believe
I've played a bit of L4D though, Not been on GRID since completing it but did go on Forza2 the other day for a bit. I've only got a few Endurances races to do for full completion but every time I go on I do 15-20 laps & bail out for a rage on BF2. I plan on doing some online on GRID though & will continue to play FIfa08 for quite some time
I am hoping a new game will come & grab me though but then I've been hoping that for about a year. 64 man IO BF2 servers are a hard act to follow.

I should finish fallout 3 over the next couple of days. I've put in nearly 50 hours so far and just need the mrs to go to bed early to collect the 8 remaining dolls and finish the main quest. I might do this tonight as I'm tempted to stay up for NXE anyway (sad I know).

I've only completed the first chapter of Gears 2 on hardcore. I'm going to get back into this as soon as Fallout's done with. Think I'll stick with playing it on my own for now but would love a coop run with someone at some point (maybe on insane?).

I've got Lips coming later this week and this could become a firm favourite with the family as my wife sings in folk clubs etc anyway and can't wait to plug her Zune in. Add Scene it! and Dancing Stage Universe 2 and I feel we have quite a nice family gaming christmas lined up

I've also played the Banjo demo about 5 times with my eldest girl now and she loves it. She spent half an hour earlier collecting penguins, ducks and crabs and putting them all in the same area so she could have a party. Having sold the Wii with some her favourites Disney Princess & Super Mario Galaxy I feel I kind of owe her a game so I might pick this up first time I see it cheap.

You'll probably be waiting a while Acey says 10:00 tomorrow

Speaking off, I noticed a few people asking when NXE will be available - the answer is 10am UK Time (11am CET) on Wednesday November 19. After that time you'll be prompted for the update and it'll take a few minutes to download and install. It's worth the wait!

And even better is the fact that kills still count towards the Seriously 2.0 achievement, meaning Private Matches are the way to go!

Not thought about trying Battlefield Bad Company?
