Interesting. In my head COD and MOD are completely interchangeable, like James Blunt and James Morrison, they occupy exactly the same space in my memory banks but that does look a bit more interesting than BLOPS.

Anything else? (slightly cheaper maybe)

Cheaper than £20?

Maybe an extremely old game, but I don't know any other franchises that are 'realistic' like these two.

Sorry, that's what happens when I'm trying to read and post in several forums at the same time. I clicked your link, saw that it was out of stock, found other places that had it in stock for £35-ish and by the time I replied I'd forgotten the price you quoted. I'll have another search later for bargains.

Sniper Elite? I seem to remember good things were said about this. Was a while ago though.

What the gun genre really needs though is Forza. Serious customisation, not just the one or two bits that COD does.

I have the same problem, often thinking "haven't I seen that somewhere before?" but not recalling where.

If you fancy some mental bullet-hell indie-game shooter goodness, give Score Rush a pop:

That video doesn't really do it justice IMO. For 80 Microspondoolicks it's a steal.

Xona Games also did the excellent Decimation X, and it's shiny new sequel Decimation X3. I like these guys, they're 3 for 3 so far and deserve all the support they can muster.

Don't normally like bullet hell games but love Score Rush -top dog with 72 million and I think I'm top on decimation x3 too with 2.7 million :)

Didn't see a mention, but the Marvel tables are available for Pinball FX 2. Unfortunately they only come as a set for 800 points, but the Spiderman table alone is almost worth it to me.

Woo! Just cleared 85 million on Score Rush. Still haven't managed to clear all the bosses yet, but it's a work i progress and is beginning to feel possible, despite initial impressions of sheer bullet-madness impossibility. :)

A little heads up here ... I was checking out the Arcade demos section on the 360 & decided to have a look at a new title called 'Harms Way'.
I clicked on the download (thinking I was downloading a free demo with the option to buy), but it downloaded the whole game for free & no credits were taken from my account !!! I have tried it out & was instantly awarded a load of cheevo points too. :D
I may have no control over the length of my life, but the depth & width is entirely up to me.

I think that's one of the winners of a Dorito's make-a-game competition, or something similar. The other one is Dorito's Crash Course (link below). I've only had a quick play, but it actually seemed quite good fun. Kind of a Trials HD lite with avatars instead of motorbikes.

Harms way is an easy 200 points. It will take all of 30 minutes to get all the achievements. Only hard one to get is join an online multiplayer as no one is playing it. Its not a bad game and for free well you cant complain. Crash course on the other hand will at times have you tearing your hair out.

Ah! I thought I had fluked a glitch in the Microsoft corporation for a minute & managed to get something for free from Mr Gates deep pockets. :lol:
