Looking good. Was just about to buy 2010 but I guess I'll hold out for this one. The fixes Codemasters made to 2010 suggest they really listen to gamers, which means 2011 should be a further improvement.
I was pretty bummed about disgustingly good games like Beyond Good and Evil and Riddick not being compatible, because I'd hoped I could pack away the ugly-ass Xbox and still play all my games on the 360.
So that didn't work out and I just didn't play those games for a while. I held on to all of them though, because that's what shelves are for and their value was shit anyway. Now that I have the Xbox hooked up again, I can see how keeping those games was a good move. Lately I've even been supplementing the collection with interesting games that I couldn't afford back in the Xbox days.
Competitive multiplayer slots somewhere between shoving forks into my eyes and dipping my balls in boiling grease on my list of things to do in my spare time. Co-op is a lot of fun, but I do. not. play. video. games. against. people. So I'm glad Gibs here isn't just talking about multiplayer. More awesome co-op and quality DLC sounds good.
However, the fact that he says "fire-and-forget, packaged goods only, single-player, 25-hours-and you’re out" like it's a bad thing worries me a little. There are a lot of people like me who appreciate that kind of thing: a polished product with a dramatic structure and an end. Fire-and-forget...pfft, how about fire-and-never-forget?
