UFC.
Did some trading Friday & Finally got myself UFC & it is worth every single penny of the 39.99 even though I only had to part with 8 of my quids with my exchanges.
The learning curve this game has is Massive, You can potter about getting all sweaty throwing a few punches & kicks but you'll soon get flattened by a skill move. Once you do start to learn the other moves the game comes alive & the fighting is Immense.
If you dream of how you want a UFC game to be this meets that & surpasses it.

The only kicker really is the drawn out single player menu screens that are just to many. Other than that this game is a Must have.
I've yet to master the Training for my Created fighter & he puffs & blows like an old derv van at the mo but I am rushing through it as I am gagging to bust peoples faces open & generally ground & pound some opponents.

Just loaded up Ghostbusters for a small go before I head out but it seems great fun. Voice acting is good and all the original soundtrack is there. Which is superb!

Still playing inFamous as my good guy

9 shards short

Decided to batter Fallout 3 today in preparation for the DLC on Tuesday. Ended up hitting level 30 4 times - 3 times the quick and easy way (using the Here and Now perk at level 29, then using the Karma perks to get the achievements), then going back through it properly so that I can get the perks I actually wanted. Still have at least 4 quests to do, not counting the upcoming DLC, so if any future DLC ups the level cap again I've got some stuff to help me towards it

I need to buy more MS Points for Fallout 3's Point Lookout on Tuesday. This games turning out to be the most expensive purchase yet. Damn it for being so good!

UFC.

Damn this game is hard, Hard is good in my book though & I cannot wait until I can do the moves I want instinctively. I'm giving myself a target of at least an hours play a day with this game so that I don't fall into my usual trap with games & not give them enough time repetitively to learn the controls as well as I want/need to. Trouble with me is my head memory sucks & if I leave a game for a week I need to re learn it, Not completely of course but I lose that instinctive button press you need & it frustrates me enough for me to switch off & go back to BF2. Does that make sense to anyone but me.

Anyway.
I've had some Mad fights

Still single player only as I fight like a gay.

I picked Arlovski & Battered Frank Mir whilst all the time telling Frank staffy dog that HE was getting some serious licks.

Then I took Arlovski onto Tim Sylvia & gave him a Damn good beating as well, Head kick to the Temple soon sorted Timothy out.

Kin Loving this game I can tell ya !
Loads of Blood & Cuts, Great moves, Superb control (so far early days tho to judge whether its me or game)

So far I would say that UFC is the Best sports/copy type game I've played. Can't think of the words so explain myself

Say your a fan of Golf & you wish for a Golf game, Or a fan of F1 & you wish for an F1 game. Well if you are a fan of UFC & wish for a UFC game & buy this it surpasses what you would have dreamt of, SERIOUSLY !!!

The screens the music teh fighting the gore the involvement, Every last detail is Perfection, I feel like I am in the God damn UFC for ***** sake.

I'm playing inFAMOUS & Prototype (till that goes back to blockbuster on friday)

I can't believe how similar these two games are, both great though. lovin it

I agree with you Malc, UFC is fantastically done. As I said before, after playing it I've never played a better fighting game. It's the best standup fighting game I've played and the best ground game I've played and it brings both in. If I could change anything it would be the stick rotation system as sometimes it's not as sharp as I would wish, but I understand why it was employed.

The whole striking system, either from afar and leaping in, or up close elbows and dirty boxing is so well realised it's at times like watching real UFC and you can tell this game was developed with real love and attention for detail. I actually felt myself getting agressive as I'd play it muttering things like 'cut his ****ing face open!!' as I was firing elbow after elbow in ground and pounds.

It's hard to really knock a single area of it, after all, it has around 80 fighters. Name another game that offers that!

This is one game where you could really perfect it and it really tells online. I've had people that I've taken down, bossed them completely, every time they'd try and wriggle out I'd just throw them back down and their stamina would be shot, I'd ground and pound or make them tap, usually the latter with almost all my wins coming from submissions. Of course, knockouts really make online fights tense. I've gone in there swinging windmills against a guy who was doing the same and also spent 3 rounds trading well picked shots. A personal highlight for me was a 5-second, 1 punch fight online against a guy from Ireland. I checked his past record and info sheet and saw he was a ground and pound and takedown specialist (if you've ever watched UFC, you see 3 items of info before every fight, they've actually included this for online and it learns your styles - seriously cool) and figured he'd shoot from the off, I was right, 1 half step back and banged him with a right hook to the chin, good night.

One that is nearly always missed psy:

Go to zekes apartment. Jump off and go right, along the coast line, eventually (around 1/5th of the way around) you will see a broken pier with a shard right at the end. This pier is too long to appear on your map so you have to rely on spotting it by eye.
