I doubt if you care but does anyone else know if Trine 2 has a 3D mode on the Xbox 360?

I have Trine 2 loaded up right now but I don't see any 3D TV settings available - I don't have a 3D TV though, but I don't think they'd hide the setting completely in that case.

Cheers, I was just wondering because I read it was 3D on PS4, PC and maybe PS3.
I'll leave it for now.

I replayed the first two chapters of Trine 2 (a bug wiped my save) and am having much more fun for whatever reason. The visuals are beautiful and the puzzles are pretty satisfying. It's not amazing but not quite as bad as my initial impression.
 
It's probably cool in co-op but I played Trine 2 in single player and it was shite. I love puzzle games and I couldn't even bear to get past halfway.

I'm at the last boss and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. I like how there always seems to be at least two ways to solve a puzzle depending on who's still alive and depending on what upgrades you've purchased. Complete 180 from my original impression which admittedly was from only the first two chapters.

Whatever the quality of game play the game has amazing set pieces and visuals.

Japan get the better GwG offering yet again.

Disagree. Uninteresting beat-em-up sidescroller over GOTY-contending, cinematic action game with Michael Bay explosion fests and set pieces? I'll take the latter, lolz.

Laughing at Ep2 of Revelations 2 coming out today. Maybe Telltale and Dontnod should take a hint. Wait until your episodic game is finished (or at least 80% finishes) and then start releasing your damn episodes.

Apparently, my 360 has been rebranded as the Monopoly gaming platform!

What's the word on Halo Wars? Does it have a good campaign?

I thoroughly enjoyed as it has a high production value (the cut-scenes are an amazing reward for completing a level), and it plays really well!

The campaign is strictly UNSC (humans), so no Covenant campaign.

I thought it was the game bundle which includes both games that was on sale. It's not worth it. Oh well.

Another week of rehashed lame sales. A shame.
 
Still waiting for more of Rare's lot to go on sale, specifically the Pinatas (I got my new 360 right after TIP was removed from GWG, god damn it), Kameo, and Tooie.

Also Tales of Vesperia, hopefully come Golden Week it goes on sale.

Yesterday I bit on Forza Horizon 1, I thought I saw it for $20 retail where I live, but when I went out that day, I didn't see it at all, so I decided on it after really digging Horizon 2 360.

With the X-Coms, should I go with Enemy Unknown or Enemy Within? Love the demo for EU but I don't know much about the stand alone expansion.

Going back to the demo, I also played it on the PC but I prefer it on the 360. I guess they did indeed console-up X-Com.

Within includes expansion content with all of the Unknown content.
If you bought Unknown you only get Unknown so there isn't any reason to buy it unless you hate what Within added for some reason.

Wow, didn't know EW included all if the content. Sounds like a good deal, thanks for clarifying.
 
impressions? i know its standalone but does it have any connection to FH2 (money earned carries over or cars)? looks like a waste of time but i'll give it a 'load if anyone has any positive impressions
Definitely worth a 'load! Played for about an hour last night, great fun ... Particularly for the price. I had only played demos of FH1 and 2.
