    November has been great for the gaming community with GTA Sa, Halo 2 and in a couple of Days Half life 2. But how do you follow this up?

    Is the only game that we have to look forward to Battlefield 2?

    I'm looking forward to Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines. It uses the HL2 Source engine and could be really good.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for me.

    I'm interested to see what the Doom 3 expansion pack is like -- if they learn from the criticism/praise for the main game, the expansion pack *might* be brilliant.

    Found a funny glitch on the pc version of KOTOR.

    I was using mandalorian battle armour (Bendak Starkiller stlye) and i soon found i couldnt take it off. What i mean is that i could change to no clothes whatsever but i was always displayed as wearing the armour...

    I had completed the game already and was only messing about. When it came to the big cinematic revealing of a certain character all i saw was an empty cloak and hood instead of a face...Im guessing Lucasarts hadnt banked on that one... :D

    Pc version was far better than the x-box version though. So im waiting until February to play KOTOR 2 instead of jumping on the x-box bandwagon.

    I would say KOTOR 2 is the game i most want to play. HL2 will wear off. Even watching the vids and cutscenes on the web im getting sick of HL2

    Dunno when it'll be out but Irrational have announced a new game and they say it'll be more of a spiritual sucessor to the System Shock series rather than a sequel. They're calling it BioShock, it'll be set in a huge genetics lab/biodome and they're making some interesting tweaks to the gameplay. You upgrade yourself similarily to the SS games (although biological in nature rather than cybernetic) but you can only have a limited amount of upgrades on you and you have to remove them if you want new ones. You can alter things like air pressure in certain areas and you'll have to have specific upgrades to survive these conditions. Also, sound doesn't travel as far in areas of increased pressure and vice-versa which is a nice touch :) . Check out gamespot here for a look at it.
