Got my hands on Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 and Lego Indiana Jones yesterday. I had been looking forward to both, and so far neither have disappointed. I am floored that Lego Indiana Jones lacks co-op, but luckily I have someone under the same roof who is as eager as I am to play it.

Hot Shots is looking sharp, however I’m a little dismayed at the load times as compared to the first Open Tee. They are not bad, but the game is noticeably slower the second time around and it’s slightly irritating. Minor complaint, as the game is a blast and includes wifi play this time around.

To update the rest of my ‘Recently Playing’ list, here’s what else has been going on:

Dark Sector – Xbox 360
Very pleased with this Goozex pickup. Part Gears of War, part Lost Planet, part Resident Evil and a sprinkle of Bioshock make for a great, action-packed, sci-fi shooter of sorts. Looks great, plays great and is well worth picking up.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot – Xbox 360
Nothing really kind to say about this game yet. I’m still in the thick of it, so I’ll save my judgment for when I finish it (or give up in the middle). Its been overly frustrating and ultimately disappointing, but alas there is still hope.

Gears of War – Xbox 360
This one I blame on Dark Sector. Dark Sector was a great time, yet when I checked in on the multiplayer there was nothing but tumbleweeds. I popped on the disc and fired up Gears of War multiplayer to get my fix. While trying to get back into the swing of Gears I’ve ended up getting hooked on it again, and have my eye on some of the remaining multiplayer achievements that I need. I’ve got around 8,500 kills left before I get he seriously achievement so I’m not so sure about that one (at least not before Gears 2) but you never know…
