I like to compare DoW2 to the original and then to Company of Heroes. It feels as though Relic had decided to save money and just put DoW into the ready and waiting CoH engine. I'm a huge fan of both franchises but expected DoW2 to be different to what we got. Still, I'm looking forward to Retribution immensely.
I think the comparison between DoW and C&C was that in both you can generally just select all troops and attack without much need for strategy.

I'm tempted to get this on the basis of the BTTF license and Telltale being the developers. The guy who does Marty's voice does so surprisingly well from what I have heard in the trailers and such. Plus it's 10% off on Steam right now.
While GoW3 was amazing, it didn't change things up much compared to the two previous instalments or to any other hack and slash, besides it's epic scale.
Heavy Rain on the other hand is a game changer and it is a truly unique experience that manages to tell an engaging and mature story.
I did submit it 19 hours ago, and didn't see any announcements of it. I think the majority of people were under the impression that it was releasing alongside the PS3/360 versions on the 21st.
Josh's List of Just Cause 2, AC 2: GotY, Batman: AA and Bioshock 2 is a bargain for £40. If only I had waited rather than have paid the full £40 for each of those.
I know what you mean. I managed to play a full round on Oasis the day after it released and it was chaos. It's definitely one of the best Bad Company series' maps.

I haven't had much chance recently to try out the new VIP Map Pack, so I'll need to get round to playing those first before venturing into 'Nam.
Based on the title I was expecting a Back to the Future quip in there somewhere.
