Even though I'm not into driving games The Crew was fun just drive around aimlessly in a virtual United States. I passed on Rayman Origins because I really don't like platformers, though I hear its a good example of that type of game. I already had Splinter Cell though I haven't gotten around to playing it, and I'll probably never play Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, but I got both free anyways. The UPlay client isn't a good as the Steam client or even the Origin client, but it's not bad. My biggest complaint is that its slow, and that largely appears a server/network issue. It seems UbiSoft is being cheap in that area compared to Valve and EA. It probably would be a good idea wait a while before getting Beyond Good and Evil, although I doubt there will be a huge demand for the game overloading the servers.
