		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I really hate it when Microsoft do things like this, why can’t they do it like everyone else and just have simple accounts with simple server lists, it makes so much more sense.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Because M$ are so fscking paranoid about people pirating their bloatware that they implement a piss-poor anti-piracy mechanism, like in GoW, and cover their eyes to how much it breaks the games.

It's well known that their "security" was shockingly poor. Now we just _expect_ their code to be sh1te.

Irony is of course that it'll be pirated somewhere anyway.

&lt;blockquote&gt;One quick push of the Space Bar and Marcus is up against a wall&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It's something of a shame that the space bar does just about every bloody action in the game! Pressing it at the wrong time (like a random thumb twitch) generally hurls the avatar into a wall sideways like a retard or makes him pointless leap and do a forward role!

The vehicle section in GoW was utter crap, not least because that slug of a vehicle handles like shit.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Buy it, if only to tide you over till a release your really looking forward to.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Indeed, it's best used for unwinding after an infuriating day at work.

Good review PM :-)
