Title: Army of Two: The 40th Day
Post by: Saniflush on January 14, 2010, 08:26:10 AM: Anyone who likes coop gamplay and/or third person shooters should give it a rent. Don't think it is a buy just because of what it's replayability is (or isn't) but the graphics are solid.
It builds a little on the first one but can be enjoyably played without having ever played the first one.

The things that made the first one good are still present in this one. You must act tactically or you will not survive. There is a reason it is not called Army of One.

Conversely the things that hampered the first one have not been fixed. This is an EA game which means you will be disconnected from their server semi-regularly while playing coop. EA has always done a great job with their servers when it comes to it's sports games. Not so much for any other genre though.

Overall I give it a 7 if you are playing it by yourself and and 8 if you have a buddy to team up with.

This one.

For RPG Mass Effect 2 comes out in two weeks. Looks real solid.

Shooters the next best one I am expecting is "Brink". 7 player coop with a new engine driving it.

Post by: AUJarhead on January 20, 2010, 02:25:58 PM: Bioshock 2 comes out in a few weeks too. That and Mass Effect 2 have been on my must buy list for quite some time. If you haven't tried Bioshock 1 yet, go rent it.
