On X1 you can check your account status and it'll show you which Live level you got and when it will run out. I think 360 also tells you when it's gonna be up. They also bomb your dashboard with ads to renew when you're closing in on your end.

Depends. They are going to be two totally different experiences.
A good way to sum up Mordor is Assassins Creed type exploration/objectives with free choice on character development. You can just go slaughter shit all day, or do the missions. The nemesis system is what makes the game. |

Only bad thing I can say right now is that the enviornment is a little bland. Being in Mordor, it's all ruins and black rocks everywhere, but I guess a second less cliche looking place opens up later. Still, the gameplay totally makes up for it. Combat uses the same counter/attack system as Batman and Assassins games, but it's a bit trickier here. I made the mistake of jumping right into large groups of enemies right from the start and ended up dying a few times. You'll be able to do that later, but at the start you have to rely on stealth which is really fun in itself anyway. |

I usually go the stealthy route the first play through. It sounds tight but I'll prolly get Dragon Age next month and pick this up in two years when it's $25 and the graphics and gameplay seem dated.
