Agreed, I probably wouldnt play the original again but when it came out it was a very good game.

Playing Bulletstorm right now on my 360. (legally of course, I know people and got an early release copy)

Simply put...  

I tried Bulletstorm on my computer. after getting the annoying things  like have to login with you windows live account etc etc etc I thought ya know what....forget it.

And yes, I tried the pirated version, but I do that for almost every game I intend to buy.
I don't feel like forking out 30+ euros for a game that will stay interesting for no more then 2 hours, so I try them 1st and I almost always see within the 1st half hour if the game will keep me interested, and then I go buy it.

For bulletstorm it is a big NO for me, I hate that kinda crap that I HAVE TO login, else the game won't even start.

@paulpsomiadis - I picked up the complete half life 1 collection from steam for $2.99 a few months back.  Definitely worth it considering I haven't played it in almost 11 years.

As far as new games go, I just picked up Crysis 2 for the xbox 360 for $44 from Amazon and it's pretty good.  Probably one of the best looking games I've ever played on the xbox.  I'm sure the PC version is amazing looking, but I went with the xbox version due to the number of friends I have on xbox live.

I tried the demo on the Xbox 360 last week....but felt underwhelmed by the experience.  It seems like a solid shooter, but there's really nothing special about what I saw.  Reviews from gaming sites have been mixed....but I take those with a grain of salt.  I plan to pick it up when it drops below $40 or so this fall.

BTW, I also tried the bulletstorm demo based on your recommendation above.  It is indeed an awesome game just based on the demo alone.  It's also on my short list of games to pick up at a discounted price tag.

Someone like DNF 

Getting hated on everywhere, not that I've played it. Don't want to spoil the oldskool DN3D magic, eduke32 is as modern as I'm going.

The DNF demo wasn't all that bad.  I think the problem is we live in a world that is more politically correct than it was back in the 90s.   These yuppie reviewers are probably getting offended by his one liners.  If I didn't already have a stack of games to catch up on...I probably would have snagged it for $50 from Amazon.com. 

BTW, Redbox here in the USA has it in their vending machines for rent at $2 a night.  I fully plan to rent it for a couple nights to at least knock out the single player part of the game.
