XIII was a good game IMO... got it for 98p brand new 
I picked up splinter cell chaos theory yesterday. Really impressed with it, and runs great on the 360. I've never played any of the series before, but i'm quite enjoying the stealth angle, and its great in split screen co-op. Graphics looks superb for an xbox one title, especially with the AA aplied by the 360. Should keep me entertained for a week until GRAW arrives

Make sure you get all the Splinter Cells! Brilliant games the lot of 'em. 
Sagalout said:Yeah, i've never been into sneak-em-ups or 3rd person games, hence why i've avoied them in the past, but fancied a changed from fps shooters and driving games and thoroughly enjoying the diversion
Have you tried the "thief" series ? The original sneak em up, top game.
First impressions of SW:KOTOR (Bear in mind I'm not off Taris yet)
Promsing I think sums it up best. I'm a huuuuge fan of Baldurs Gate, Planescape Torment and suchlike so I'm not overly concerned about the aforementioned people standing around while you burglarise their houses, though it is a bit strange! Seems to be an intriguing story and I think I'm already picking up on some subtexts which I hope will work out, I like how the Sith are portrayed as not all bad guys but as normal people just doing their job, thought that was a nice touch. I like the way the combat works and the fights when you have dual swords just look coool
Annoyances are things like moving between areas accidently and the load times seem a touch excessive. Fortunately I had a chance to slap on the surround sound and concentrate on the game so felt like I was getting sucked into the world which I guess can only be a good thing. The graphics aren't anything to write home about but am not particularly bothered by that, there are some lovely backgrounds which add a lot to the game, along with the ol' Sith reflections which look purty. The interface is a bit clunky but I doubt you could get much better without a mouse, once you get the hang of it I can see it becoming second nature, I prefer the Morrowind journal interface though which seems more logical.
Anyhow, for £5 I can't really complain at all, am looking forward to getting a lightsaber and getting some of the force stuff, judgement reserved at present but it gets a provisional Good Game (tm) from me.
As an aside - Halo 2
Absolutely loving this. Was slightly disappointed about the potential return to the 'Library' as that was a PITA in the first Halo...! Scorpion Tank = Awesome. Energy Sword = Awesome. Cracking soundtrack as well, especially in DD5.1. All in all as good as if not exceeding Halo in sheer production quality, looking forward to seeing how the 2 storylines converge in future.
That's all from me folks!

very much mixed up
Even using cheats I couldn't use a saber on Taris (this was a seperate play through after finishing both Light and Dark sides btw )
You only get a saber after Taris....

If you rescued Bastila on Taris you'll have her double-ended lightsaber. However, only she can use it. You'll do two major missions on Taris with Bastila
I got: KOTOR
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Prince of persia: SOT
Hitman Contracts
I sold KOTOR ages ago but I really want to finish it this time! Splinter cell was WAY better than I expected, SCT was good but this one destroys it. There wasn't much else there tho....
