    Out of all the 'gruff marine-type takes on a hostile force of aliens/machines in squad-based shooting action, which may or may not involve a conspiracy' game, this looks like the 'gruff marine-type takes on a hostile force of aliens/machines in squad-based shooting action, which may or may not involve a conspiracy' game that interests me the most.

    I'm far more interested in this game than other shooters like CoD or Battlefield.

    I'll give it a go, i tend to like his stuff.

    my sequel-sheep head is wondering whether theres any news on yakuza 5 being released over here yet though?

    (though in all honesty i'd ratherthey decided to call it 'Yakuza: dragon of the end' or somesuch instead of plain old 5)

    What about Yakuza of the end?

    I genuinely think this is going to a bit of a sleeper hit. There's so much stuff that looks great about it, from the very reactive blasting to the plentiful enemies and eerily clean art style. And I'm suspecting a bit of co-op to be in there as well.
