  Army of Two.. my 2 cents...

  Hey folks,
  
  I've been playing Army of Two for a week now and I like the game. The gunplay is really good and feels right... one of the most important aspect of a shooter for me is the aiming / hit detection and it's perfect in this game... and there's no moments like " WTF.... why I am not hitting him with my bullets??". The only thing is that I keep forgetting that the game has no bullet penetration like COD4. I keep shooting in walls hoping it will hit them, only to waste precious bullets hehe. I'm currently in the last section of the China mission... I'm waiting to hook up with my bud in order to advance, I've been redoing missions with random people online which helps me getting cash and unlocking achievements. I haven't tried the Versus mode yet but I'll try it out as soon as I finish the main campaign. The story is nothing special but the cut-scenes are really good and the dialogue is funny. Gamespot gave the game a 6.5 which I think it's kinda low. Sure the game is short but I've actually did a couple of missions a couple of times just for kicks. This game would deserve the 6.5 if you'd be stuck with the AI and there wouldn't be any COOP. The COOP makes the game 3X times more enjoyable. I've been playing with total strangers and I haven't had a annoying partner... yet hehe. I'd like to point out that I haven't actually purchased the game and it's only a rental. I can keep the game for 30 days and I'll probably keep the game as long as I can since my bud bought it. It is a really solid rental. I'll eventually reivew this game but as of now this game is a solid 8.5! I don't mind short games... I just rent them and when I'm done I simply return it. Anyway that's all for now.

  Burnout Paradise soundtrack

  Sup folks,

  In anticipation of getting Burnout Paradise, I'm building a collection of tunes to build a custom soundtrack. I heard the EA TRAX in the game sucks. Anyway I'm looking for fast tempo songs that encourages driving like a madmen. Any suggestions?

  Here's what I have now :

  Led Zep - Rock N Roll
  The Clash - Safe European Home
  THe Stooges - Your Pretty face is going to Hell

  As you can tell by those tracks, I like 70's punk... A lot. I wanna add a couple of 90's grunge tunes as well. Anyway.. like I said before. Any Suggestions?
