Same here. Might not be tip-top games as far as shooters go, but they do offer a few pretty unique aesthetic aspects, and I think they're overall kind of misunderstood. Actually been working on writing something for one of them recently. I think if nothing else, they're a pair of really interesting games, but most people will never give them a second glance to see what makes them so interesting.
Most people would probably hate me for saying this, but I actually hope to see some of the narrative bite of the K&L games in Absolution.

Claims the 360 and PS3 held the game back
http://www.examiner.com/article/xbox-72 ... -game-backThat Rev3games channel said the PC version is around 23GB and a lot of the stuff had to be scaled back for the console versions

I actually loved the first one, multiplayer was good fun aswell, the second one though? Not sure what they were trying to do there, personally.

Yeah, I remember readin how fuckin grim the games were. I even remember you commenting on the whole big brother aspect of the second, and it got me interested in the series. Whilst it ain't my kinda game, it's defo one that I've spoke to people about and recommended to guys who like shooters.
Still, you can't really rely on good ideas nowadays, you need good execution gameplay-wise too. The game had a big enough advertising campaign n'all, so any shortgivings are soley the fault of the dev team's, imo.

Yeah I'm weak for Hitman. Went and changed up all my spare change [nearly £90!] and saw this for £27.99 so picked it up and am installing now.

My one simply has a small 9/10 OXM tag on it.
All the outfit/guns dlc is already on the market place at 80MSP but i think you can buy them in a pack as well.

Hair Dryer and a little goo gone and you're good to go. I do it all the time esp on used games. Makes them look brand new again.

I think it's actually printed on the box art, not a sticker. Kind of like the Okami IGN quote or whatever.
And yeah, that shit is annoying. Kind of irritated me when I got Assassin's Creed 3, and there was a big "Gamestop Edition" banner across the top of the box art. Tacky as hell.

I don't think any shops in the UK pull that shit? They have the odd sticker but that's all Ive seen.

Well that's a bummer. Sometimes a gamestop employee may let you trade boxes. Capcom at least made up for it and gave everyone free 3 pieces of artwork.
Still none of that is as bad as this!
