What do you guys think of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood? I am thinking about buying it when it comes out for the PC. Do any of your console players already have it?

I am picking it up as a Christmas Present to myself later on.

Is Need for Speed:Hot Pursuit any good?

[Dieselman]

Yes its good but all racing games they loose there appeal after a bit. The crashes in NFS are awesome cause the makers of Burnout were involved in the making of the game.

How about the online etc?

[Dieselman]

XBL is always awesome. I was playing the other night and we were a team of about 10 cops chasing down the bad guys. Whoever gets the most wins.

[computerfan21]

Yeah sounds fun.

Pranay, the first (133mb) patch was the unlock for online. The second one was fixes for the online.

No game is perfect, but Gran Turismo 5 really sets the standards on how a driving SIMULATOR should be. Seeing how Forza is just an image of the GT franchise, I expect Turn 10 to learn something off of Gran Turismo 5 for Forza 4. That would be being an actual racing simulator. Games like Forza and NFS: Shift consider themselves racing simulators, yet they're arcade racers with certain simulation properties. That's where GT5 sticks out of the crowd, there's simply nothing like it on console.

GT5 has taken a lot of my spare time lately.
A great game. Worth the wait!

Hey Gus you should so buy Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. The story mode is fun! I finished it. Also multiplayer is just addicting.
