What Game Are U Playing Right Now

[Angra]

There's no greatness in pretending...at least killing things is something I could actually do if I were so inclined...but with your thing, if you could have, you would have, no?
Where's your football team, hmmm?
sad, sad, sad...
How they could even call it a game is beyond me.


I guess it depends on how much action you want in a game. You have to stay focused while killing things, but with manager i can do other stuff at the same time while playin, such as watching tv or practicing guitar etc. It's nice and stressless. But most of all quite fun in its own slow pacing way. :)

[Despare]

I was just drinking a couple beers and playing a borrowed copy of NHL 08. I feel... almost Canadian, except for the fact that I was playing as the greatest franchise in sports today. Go Wings

[Phalanx]

Might try and play through super mario world or 64 on the wii, never got near to finishing either of them, but they both look like great games.
I'll give mario galaxy a try even though it doesn't look all that shit-hot to me...

[The Mothman]

Condemned 2.
its sweet.

[urgeok2]

ghost rider for the PSP.

kind of fun... not great - not bad.

Were you drinking Labatts?

[urgeok2]

Were you drinking Labatts?



naw .. probably some of that yellow water you guys call beer in the USA :cool:

[Despare]

Were you drinking Labatts?

I prefer Molson (maybe my second favorite beer) over Labatts but my favorite beer is Killian's. Which makes me wonder why I was drinking Rolling Rock...

[Dude Guadalupe]

Rock Band. It's been about a week and I'm about done with it. I might go back to my MMORPG after that.

[Geddy]

I'm about to start playing Killer 7.

I'm about to start playing Killer 7.

For the Gamecube? I LOVED that game, so surreal and crazy and so much fun.

I got it for PS2. I like it a lot so far.

[Phalanx]

I've looked into KILLER7 too, the box art made it look a bit like XIII...any similarity ingame at all?

I actually downloaded (super) Castlevania 4 which I've never played, Mario World which I've never come close to finishing, and been playing Ocarina of Time, which I've seen quite a bit of before but never actually played through MYSELF.
The wii is great in this respect of it's network features, but they sure to need to beef the amount of titles available right on up.
For anyone with a wii - get SEGA's "shining force", noticed that was available, great strategy/battle/rpg type game there.

[Dude Guadalupe]

get SEGA's "shining force".

I love that game. I've been trying to find the original sega cartrage, only listing I could find was for $32 and it was out of stock. I can find any other sega game for like $1 - $2 except that one.

[Despare]

Nowhere near... Killer 7 is like a pseudo on rails shooter with some exploration elements and a surreal story that really makes the game an experience. XIII was a stylized FPS that didn't bring anything new to the table other than the art direction.

I scored 175

[ManchestrMorgue]

I've been playing the Power and Glory mod for GTR2.

It is essentially a mod for GTR2 that gives you some of the cars from GT Legends, but with the improved physics and weather from GTR2. Also, the cars are modeled to recreate the cars as they would have been in the 60's and 70's (eg radial ply tyres, etc) as opposed to GT Legends which models the cars on present day historic race cars (ie more modern tyres, suspension upgrades, etc).

It's a good mod, the Triumph TR4 is a fun car to drive. Can hold some serious power oversteer around a corner and is very adjustable by brake and throttle.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Awesome. Do you have a Red Head?

i wish you could save the damn thing before quitting

[Freak]

These are the games that I've been playing.

Call of Duty 4 - Most amazing war game ever.

Dark Sector - Pretty good but not what I expected

Frontline Fuel of War - As alot of cool elements to and the levels are massive

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - Haven't got to play this to much but what I have played of it is pretty good.

Medal of Honor Airborne - I'm a huge fan of this series but this one is really below par compared to the rest.

Mario Kart Wii

[Phalanx]

Mario Kart Wii
So, better'n the 64 version, or just...another one?
I loved the 64 version.

Hm, right now I'm on the last "boss" of SHADOW OF THE COLLOSSUS....it's hard to keep interest in a game that is essentially great, but a bastard of a walk between places.
I'll give it this - it's a very nice looking game with great ambient sounds and music, visuals that rival most of what's on the ps2 to this day, and an above average set of fights/encounters - even though few and far between.
Worth a look if you've not yet.

[nightmare_of _death]

I think it's better than the 64 version..it's got new courses and some older courses from some of the other games.There is a much bigger character selection,you don't just have to use karts you can choose to ride as a bike.One cool feature I haven't opened it yet but you can play as your Mii's.

[Despare]

GTA IV


So far I'm LOVING it, even the opening credits kicked ass. The only think I don't like is how dark it is, and I literally mean dark, I had to turn the brightness way up. Also, LCHC is a great station heh.

What happened to the Hard Rock Station from Vice City. It has become an all classic rock station. Totally sucks.

But the plusses... Story, awsome. Characters, awsome x 2.

But the radio stations sucks. Tv's good fun tho.

I wouldn't say all the rock is classic, Smashing Pumpkins is on there, so there's one. I liked San Andreas' rock station with Rage Against the Machine and Stone Temple Pilots...

we'll they're pretty much like zombies ..

take a head shot to kill 'em.


my problem is that when i get killed - i hate going all the way back and redoing everything - i dont have the patience for it.

i abandoned the 'gun' for the plain controller and nunchuk as well, the gun sucked. felt good but you still needed the left hand to hit the A button - so it was pointless.

[colubrid660]

When I am done with school for the summer, I am starting Silent Hill Origins on PS2.

I liked the first one, I didn't care for the rest.

Kind of like the first Jak & Daxter. The others were good, but not as good as the first.

[freddy69]

im not playin shit rite now

[Phalanx]

I've been playing "Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction". PS3.
There's been times I've watched my younger brother play the PS2 titles of this series which always looked quite good, and I've had a go at "size matters" on the PSP, which I thought was ok, I guess pretty good for a handheld game of this type, but I felt it lacked any real depth.
So...not really a "fan" of the series.
Now, as most of you know I work for Playstation, so I get to play a lot of the newer games that have/will come out...and I have to say that, with not a doubt in my mind, this is one of the best games on the PS3.
Good learning curve, lots of items and weapons, a great range of enemies, beautiful scenery and graphics (seriously, it's fucking slick AS) great "adventure" storyline and feel, it's funny without being over the top stupid, and it's difficulty level is fine, gets progressively harder but none of the puzzles, bosses, or levels are overly hard (I'm about 70% through), great amount of open ended exploration, tons of hidden areas.
It's honestly one of the most well made games I've ever seen, and I'd recommend it for children and adults alike - this would be the perfect game for a parent to play "with" a child too.

I liked the first one, I didn't care for the rest.

I wouldn't have jumped on the bandwagon on the basis of ANY of the previous versions of the game, but hey, if you liked the first, maybe check out this one on ps3 when you get a chance, it's at very least worth a hire - a LOT of effort went into this game, and it's almost flawless, and very fun.

made more progress with Halo 3 last night when my wife and kid were out :)

it's definately the hardest of the 3 (or maybe it seems like that because i'm playing 'normal' instead of the usual 'easy'

I started playing American Mcgee's Alice yesterday. I had played maybe a few minutes of it a few years back and I decided I would give it another look. It took a little tweeking to get it to work with Linux but it's all good now.

I think I might replay Undying after that.

i finished Halo 3 last night !!!


so between that and getting killed in Battle Royale : I'M FREE ! I'M FREE !!!

I don't know....finished one, hadn't thought about more.
Probably something on ps2, unless they throw more stuff my way from work.'

Hm...I may FINALLY get into onimusha.

Only two episodes right now and they're brilliant. Both episodes continue the story told in HL2 and I have heard rumors that episodic content will continue until HL3 is released. Episode 1 is a fun ride but 2 is by far superior I think and actually brings Portal locations and characters into the world. Speaking of Portal it's a mind bending intelligent ride that's filled with dark humor and brilliant puzzles. Couldn't recommend it more. Oh, there's some multiplayer game on there too. ;)

I thought the first level was pretty annoying actually...the guys chasing you and that...it gets better, but in all honesty (have not yet played the "episodes" of #2) I think I preferred the first one quite a bit more.

My boyfriend recently purchased Bioshock for the XBox 360 and we've just recently started playing it. Didn't think that I'd be all that interested (I've always been a Nintendo/Metroid kind of girl), but I have to say that I'm fairly impressed.

This game is post-apocalyptic, scifi first-person shooter joy. This is really the first time that I've tooled around with the XBox, so I'm having issues aiming and shooting. Personally, I prefer to whack people with the wrench.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/bioshock_10.gif

Anyone else play Bioshock?

[ManchestrMorgue]

Yeah I did play Bioshock on the PC.

It was a good game, the graphics were pretty amazing. And the Art-Deco design looked really good.

The game itself had an interesting plot.

Must admit, I haven't played it for a while (since I reinstalled my PC). Have been meaning to get back into it but there are so many good games....

[ChronoGrl]

To tell you the truth, it's been a long, long time since I've gotten into a video game... Metroid Prime for the Game Cube was the last one. The boyfriend got me the XBox for my Birthday but I've been hesitant to play any games for fear of getting sucked in... But Bioshock is pretty damn captivating...

Again, problem is, I'm a terrible shot. Oh, and I'm a total pussy when things are jumping out at me. :rolleyes:

My boyfriend: But you love horror movies. How can this scare you?!


I think I'd probably fare better if I were playing this on the PC rather than the XBox.

My favorite scares in that game are when something sneaks up on you and just kind of waits... so when you turn your character around there's a creature staring right at you. They did that with System Shock 2 as well, very effective. :)

I do find FPS games to be easier/more intuitive with keyboard and mouse. So I tend to get them on PC if they are available. Can't come to terms with aiming with a control pad.

One of the creepy doctors were doing that after the boyfriend found the Inferno Plasma. Mark turned our character around a little bit...

Me: THERE'S SOMEONE THERE!
Mark: *turns in other direction*
Creepy Doctor: *ATTACKS*
Me: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I TOLD YOOOOOOOOU!
Mark: GodDAMN it, Amanda!

It's funny because Mark doesn't scare easily at all... Unless I jump and scream... THAT'S when he jumps out of his skin.

I'm also impressed with the use of light and shadow, and I love the fact that if you hide, the beasties will just whale on each other.

I honestly recommend Bioshock for those of you who haven't played it. It's brilliantly done, beautiful, and wonderfully macabre. Not to mention, it combines three of my favorite things: Science Fiction, Post-Apocalypse, and Eugenics. mwahahahahahaha

I just wish I was a better shot... And not as much of a pussy. :o

Weird...Maybe I'm immune to the scary stuff now days. I played through this and most of Condemned(Haven't finished it yet), without even the slightest flinching. Yet my girlfriend, and a bunch of other people I talk to, said those games scared them...Well, my girlfriend wasn't scared playing Condemned, just Bioshock. But still.

Fatal Frame used to scare me, but I played it the other day, and I was wanting a jolt or two, but got through two levels without even a slight nervousness.

Bioshock rocked though. One of my favorite games. Can't believe I didn't buy it sooner.

That level is rough...I had to beat it in co-op mode. I'd give you some tips, but its been AGES since I played it...

[ChronoGrl]

Fatal Frame used to scare me, but I played it the other day, and I was wanting a jolt or two, but got through two levels without even a slight nervousness.

I have a friend who is really into horror video games and he says that the Fatal Frame games are the scariest that he's ever played... I'm intrigued, but know that they would scare the FUCK out of me.

[ChronoGrl]

And now we're looking for the third spider splicer...






FOUND 'EM!

Elusive little fucker.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Need for Speed ProStreet (PS3)

Actually this is more fun than I thought it would be. Got it cheap so thought I would give it a go, but am usually not that interested in arcade racers (prefer simulations). Fun being able to do drag races as well as circuit races.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance (PS3)

Not bad, completed the first mission. Mainly a beat-em-up with a few RPG elements (your characters level up, you can choose different heroes for your party of 4 etc).

Fatal Frame is one of the roughest. But I think once you play a few games like that, you get used to it.

[urgeok2]

holy crap - started playing rock band last night - solo - drummer.
(on EASY)

is that game ever addictive !

just one more song and i'm going to bed .. just one more ...
DAMN - i like this song ! just this song and thats it.

shit - this is a good tune ..

just one more song .....

[Phalanx]

Finally finished that asshole xmen legends level...the journey continues.

[Vodstok]

Started Doom 3 again. Playing with Godmode on. Why?

Because A. I'm a pussy with this game.
B. I played through 75% of the game before losing my saved games, and i am not trudging through all of that again. PLus it isnt really any less freaky in godmode.

Well, I finally got GTA IV today for the PS3.

Have installed the game, applied the patch. Now to wait until a bit later this evening for some "private time" to start playing.

[urgeok2]

still drumming to Rock Band (on easy)

tough game - it's hard to believe that there are levels higher than easy on this one.

made it through the tour (now doing the bonus tour)

[Phalanx]

Urg, I think you might want to invest in a copy of "Lego Indiana Jones".
Fun, very easy to pick up, some pretty good in-jokes and references, and some very nice 3d rendering. Just something I thought a dad could play with his kid - I think it's out on most systems now.

harder than the star wars one.

(i played it for a bit myself)

[Freak]

Playing Turok and Crackdown right now.

[The_Return]

Finally finished that asshole xmen legends level...the journey continues.

I think I'm going to replay this one pretty soon...awesome game, but way too short.

Have you played the sequel?

[Phalanx]

I haven't yet, but I've got it lined up to go...I got them both at bargain bin prices.
Might even grab ultimate alliance after if I get through both of 'em.
Hard at times, but a pretty good game.

[Vodstok]

FEAR: Extraction Point. Every bit as freaky and intense as the original game. Great horror timing and storytelling

[Daedalus]

Silent Hill 3

I got pissed off with Devil Mat Cr 3 so I started playing SH 3 again

[Freak]

Rented The Bourne Conspiracy and it's actually really fun.there's alot you can do with your character.Lots of different takedowns you can perform and the gameplay is really smooth.I usually hate movie based games but this is the best I've played so far.

[ChronoGrl]

Holy shit. I just beat BioShock.

As I thought, the final BigBad was kinda weak and disappointing... Then again, I was playing it on easy... I seriously feel as though it ended pretty quickly... I want more.

Can anyone suggest any games that are similar to BioShock?

Silent Hill 2

I'm in the process of trying to beat "Rule of Rose" but damn hat game is difficult

if you're talking about shooter-rpg mixes, i'd suggest either of the Deus Ex games

What despare said. the same guys that made Bioshock made system shock and ss2, and bioshock was made to be an upgraded not-really-a-sequal-but-sort-of to the ss series.


if you want sheer freakiness and dont mind pure fps with a strong story and fucking horrifying moments, i HIGHLY recommend F.E.A.R. I am playing the expansion Extraction Point right now, and it actually has managed to surpass the original game is the "Holy shit" category. I just turned it off and was scared shitless on a bright, sunny day.

I actually feel relief turning the game off.

[urgeok2]

i put Gears of War in for a few minutes .. got killed immediately.

looks like a much harder game than halo

Rock Band


well, i'm a better singer than a drummer apparently ...

i get 90% on Dont Fear the Reaper - Expert level :D

(i know - it's an easy song)

[The_Return]

Fucking X-Men Legends still...stupid-ass nuclear plant.:mad:

[Vodstok]

Just beat FEAR: Extraction Point. the final scene was not as "OH FUCK!" as the original game, but true to form, the last 20 minutes are gut wrenching terror. i HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who played the original, and if you havent, get FEAR and Extraction point, and play them back to back. the story is engrossing as hell, the scares are genuinely freaky, and it is one of the best horrors out there, in any medium.

i'm getting by on medium - usually in the 90% range ... but i'm having a tough time with the kick because of my messed up knee.

The Spiderwick Chronicles-mildy fun,very mildly


Battlefield: Bad Company-Was really let down by this one.While the graphics are good the gameplay just isnt what you would expect.It's very repetative and the controls are a little off.

I liked it at first but got burnt out on it real quick.I think it may have something to do with me playing guitar Hero so much before plus I cant play the drums for to long without getting uncomfortable.

Hellboy Science of Evil - pretty crappy game

FEAR: Perseus Mandate. I read a review that said it was mediocre at best. sadly, this is true. so far the scares have been pretty well done, but if FEAR and Extraction Point were Alien and Aliens respectively (and they were, believe me), then Pereus Mandate is Ressurection. as an action game, its pretty good, with some decent horror elements, but as a FEAR game, it is shit.

[ChronoGrl]

I just started putting time into Assassin's Creed... And good GOD is it boring... It's a gorgeous game, sure, but I'm finding it incredibly insipid and shallow. I haven't gotten very far into it (I'm off saving 12 villagers from the horrible soldiers!), so I haven't had my first assassination assignment... But... I am seriously BORED.

Anyone else play Assassin's Creed and feel the same way?

Wouldn't say i was bored.

I just found the game repetitive and very little challenging.


But it's breathtakingly beautiful and i hope there will be made a sequal with a much better gameplay and story.

"Topspin 3" ps3

Awsome.


"Metal Gear Solid 4" ps3

Looks awsome as well.


"Alone in the dark" (New) Ps2

VERY disappointed!!!!

The graphic looks freaking old school. :mad:

[Phalanx]

Playing through Bioshock while I've borrowed "the competitions" console.
I have to say, it's a nice looking game - rivals most current gen games.
Pretty immersive, with an interesting storyline if one were to follow it.
Reminds me of Deus Ex, in terms of the "you start pretty weak and think ITS TOOO HARD before you upgrade yourself into a kickass machine".
Unique setting, quite atmospheric and scary at times - I can see why this one is being adapted into film.

Other than that, next I will be moving on to a game that I had to import, the USA folks will know this one as "disaster report", to the UK folks its "S.O.S - The Final Escape". This is a game that never got released here, but the UK version will work fine on my PS2 console as far as I know.
All I can say is that despite a couple of "this game is just ok" and even "bad" reviews, I find the concept interesting and I've wanted to play this game for ages, waiting on it now.

After that, I'm going to be importing BAD DAY L.A on pc, and also grabbing a copy of another old PS2 game I always thought looked quite cool "E.O.E".

World Of Warcraft

again..





Is it just me being old, or are the quests very much alike no matter what level you are.

It's either gather alot of this and that, or kill alot of this and that, or bring this letter to somebody on the other side of the continent, or kill someone/ something deep within a dungeon/castle whatever. The last one is by far the most exciting, but also nearly impossible to complete if you wanna do it all alone.

Yes, i've been playing it a lot. Yes, i've got a headache. Yes, i'm going to bed.

Rockband


I had to borrow it from a friend to practice because somehow me and three other people (who had also never played the game) qualified (highest score of the night) for the Rockband finals at a local bar. If we practice hard enough maybe we can win the luxury party bus trip to a Tigers game and free dinner. I doubt it though, we suck. :)

Most were much better than us but failed because they were trying it on too hard of a difficulty level haha. I used to play the drums so that's what I did and it came to me pretty easily, not quite like playing the real thing but it does use some of the same skills.

Glad I wasn't the only one... I'm surprised that I didn't read more reviews saying, "I was bored out of my mind." Redundant, I can deal with as long as it grabs my attention to begin with.

I started playing Mass Effect today... Aaaaaaaaaaaaand... Dunno. Surprisingly hasn't grabbed my attention, either. Maybe I'm just ADD when it comes to video games. But I'm disappointed at how slow it is.

Anyone play Mass Effect and feel the same way? Does it pick up?

[Freak]

I didn't like it at all.To much walking around here and here and doing this and that.I played it for maybe a half hour and that was it.

So it's not just me then. Geez. Two strikeouts in a row: Assassin's Creed and now Mass Effect.

Which is a shame because I thought that Bioshock was so ridiculously incredible and it really renewed my interest in video games.

What do you usually play, Freak? Any recs?

[Freak]

I'll give just about anything a try but I prefer shooters.I play Call of Duty 4 alot as well and Gears of War.The Condemned games are pretty good.

Oh and I loved Assassin's Creed.Massive world to explore and no limits to where you can go.

[ChronoGrl]

Assasin's Creed to me felt a mile long but about an inch thick... Huge world, but not much to do in it but kill soldiers with your limited means... I mean, you're in the central of a BAZARRE, for Christ's sake... Why can't you do dealings and barterings? Why can't you interact with the town's people more than just running into them or pushing them gently?

Then again, I didn't get too far into it, so maybe it picks up?

get Elder Scrolls Oblivion. by far the best game i've played on the 360, not to mention one of the best games i've played ever. its TEN miles long and TEN miles thick. I got in close to 300 hours before i beat it, but thats because i spend the majority of that doing the hundreds of side mission scattered throughout the game.

I have Oblivion on the PC. And it definitely is one of the best games out there....Just don't expect to have much of a life once you start playing it. :D

I thought Assassin's Creed was a fun game. I had it on a rental, I've just been waiting on the price to drop to play it any further. It reminded me a lot of the "Thief" series. Thief was a bit more straight-forward though.

Right now, I'm playing The Orange Box and Unreal Tournament. :)

Im at the final level of Mass Effect. 50x more intense then the rest of the game. im in the midst of a staight up apocalypse, and the fate of the galaxy rests in my hands!!

I didn't get all that far with it... Just around the part where you have to search out 12 peasants to save and I found it tedious with no little side tasks to keep my attention... Does it get any better? Or is it just not for me? I'm willing to admit that I might have cut this one a bit short.

I have been playing Unreal Tournament, the original one, since my pc was damaged, i havent had access to a machine capable of playing much more. UT still rocks though, it has aged pretty well. the graphics are obviously dated, but the gameplay is still great.

I love hearing repeated "HEADSHOT!" on maps like facing worlds. i just sit on top of the tower and pop off shots at the other team as they spawn (against bots, not people. that would make me an asshole)

[VampiricClown]

I may pick up the first one. I think it's around $4 at gamestop.

Unreal Tournament
Unreal Championship
Unreal Championship 2
Unreal Tournament III
Unreal II: The Awakening

Edit:

I found these:

Unreal
Unreal Tournament 2003
Unreal Tournament 2004

Am I still missing any?

What I find strange, is there is Unreal Tournament, then Unreal Tournament III. Was there ever, actually a second one?

Technically it should be UT 4 though... weird naming system.

I find it funny how people go crazy over the Rock Band/Guitar Hero franchises, yet no one really thought that much of Amplitude or Frequency. I thought those were a little cooler, because you change the whole song.

I like RB because I've been a drummer for 23 years, and I had to try the drums....needless to say, I was playing drums on the hard level the first day....and I now play on expert.

Still playing The Orange Box...Though I'm starting to get bored with it, so I'm taking a break.

Condemned: Criminal Origins

[VampiricClown]

Just got passed level 5 on Condemned. I missed one bird somewhere. But I don't feel like replaying that level just for one bird. :mad:

Kicking it old school :)

[ChronoGrl]

The boyfriend started playing Turok for the Xbox360 last night. It's a beautiful game, but pretty mindless. Controls also seem a bit sketchy.

I'm pretty disinterested.

See, I'm being the good girlfriend by keeping him company and sitting beside him while he plays his little video game.

I can't wait for Condemned: Criminal Origins to come in.

[urgeok2]

i've stockpiled a bunch of good 360 games - but i cant for the life of me get interested in playing them ... i dont know if it's because it's summer or what - but i just cant sit in front of the xbox for 10 seconds.... other than the occasional tune on rock band - but even that bores me now.

i have no business being in this thread for a while ..


i miss Halo :(

I forget - Have you picked up Bioshock yet? I definitely recommend it. Kept me absolutely riveted.

And, honestly, Condemned 2: Bloodshot was pretty damn good, too.

I hear ya.

I've also got the newest of the newest in PS3 games and non of them, except for Metal Gear solid which i finished 2 weeks ago, speaks to me. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but first time i die or lose i turn of the console... Man, maybe i'm just not 16 anymore.. :(

Now i'm just here, doing what i do best. Poking people. hehe. :)

Is Condemned: Criminal Origins the first or the second?

i picked up Bioshock a while ago ... a friend at work has been raving about it - and from what he said i need a bit of time to invest in it.

here's the thing - Halo was perfect for me ..
it had frequent saving points - the story was linear - just run and shoot ... no thinking required ... I really liked the music and the visuals - and the vehicles ..

but most importantly ... the saving .. if i died i only lost a couple of minutes and i was back again.


these other games seem like too much time and effort is required - thats really not what i'm looking for .. i just want to run around - find cool stuff - not have to figure crap out - because i really dont want to invest any effort at all into any game.

i probably will check out Bioshock at some point ... maybe this winter .. hopefully i can stay interested for more than 5 minutes because none of these other games have grabbed me :

Assasins Creed
Fear
Quake IV
Prey
Gears of War
Clive Barker's Jericho
Dead Rising

a few others i cant remember ...

I get bored after 10 - 15 minutes.

If fear bored you, then it may not be for you. Bioshock is cerebral even if you are playing just run and gun.

see thats something i like when watching a movie or playing a book ...
i'm just not into it when playing a game ..

dunno why ..

or maybe i do ..


playing a game has always been my last choice for things to do ...
(i'm not putting down anyone who likes games - they just arent my thing)
so when i'm in that frame of mind .. i guess i just want to run around - see cool art (landscapes) and shoot crap .. i'm not interested in working at anything ..

If i was - i'd be doing something else ..

i guess that's the deal

I'll take some of those off your hands. :D

Better than The Darkness?

If you're looking to sell games this may be a good place to do it... ;)

I'd buy some.

This isn't a bad place for it.

[ChronoGrl]

Better than The Darkness?

Yes, actually. I thought that the UI was significantly smoother and I thought that it was a little more complex than The Darkness. I thought that The Darkness controls were a little sketchy (especially when using the "creeping dark" - this element should have been better executed) at times while Condemned was pretty smooth (with the exception of the CSI element; I thought that that could have been done a little better). I was more interested in the Ethan character in Condemned than Jackie Estacado in The Darkness. I thought that Ethan was a bit more complex than Jackie and that there was more to the plot of Condemned than with The Darkness. I also really liked the investigative element to Condemned, which added another level to the game. It made the game seem less linear and streamlined than The Darkness. Also, I thought that the side quests for The Darkness were silly.

Don't get me wrong - Your recommendation of The Darkness was a great one. It was definitely enjoyable, clever, and different. I could just run and eat people's hearts out over and over again... I just thought that Condemned had a lot more going on (plus, the Big Bads were a little more varied and creepy; if The Darkness had more scenes in WWII, I think I would have enjoyed it more... I also really enjoyed the investigative element to Condemned). HOWEVER, from what I've heard, there are some plans for a second Darkness game. I will most definitely pick it up (I hope that it will clean up the sketchy UI in the first one).

As for Condemned, I'm honestly psyched to get and play the first one. And, well, it seems obvious that the second one is opening to a third one, which I'll pick up right away whenever they release it.

How about you? Which one do you like better?

[The Mothman]

I thought the darkness was better than condemned 2, but that doesnt mean Condemned 2 wasnt freakin awesome. its like playing out a movie, the graphics are flawless, and the characters move so smoothly, the level with the rabid bear practically made me shit my pants, and the level on the boat when you get chased by the giant robot thing was awesome

however it was too short.

[VampiricClown]

I really can't say at the moment. I only have the first Condemned, and I'm not quite finished with it. I played a short demo of the second one, and I thought that the graphics were incredible.

I think the fact that the first one moves rather slow, and that you can't always have your guard up, is one of the downfalls for me playing it. I'm one of those people that when I play, I am constantly spinning in a circle with whatever weapon I can use, always drawn. I don't know if the second one cleans that up any or not. But being on the cell phone with maniacs running around you, that just doesn't fly with me.

Condemned is a great game, don't get me wrong. I think I'm just geared more towards the action, mafia and faster walking in The Darkness. And the WWI segment just blew me away. It was atmospheric, creepy and very disturbing. I still think about that horse. And the more open-ended gameplay of it, really set it apart for me. I like my freedom in games. I don't like to have to be confined to do one thing. One reason I like the Elder Scrolls series. Yes, some of the side missions were a bit dumb, but it gives you something to do for added gameplay.

I really can't see myself playing through the first Condemned, more than once. The Darkness, I'd play again and again. Maybe Condemned is just too slow for me or something. I mean, the atmosphere is awesome. But when you move like a dog with a bad leg, it gets annoying.

[Freak]

both games are equally great and have things in thme that set them apart from the other but the on thing they have in common that makes me not want to play them is the multiplayer.Both games online play is pure garbage and because of that simple little fact both games lose alot of points for it.

Ahh. I don't really bother with the multi-player, but that's a good point if multi-player is what you're after.

[Vodstok]

Playing some more old school Mechwarrior 3. Tearing up other mechs with my souped up Supernova (I call it the blue Giant.. get it, stars... nevermind... Im too geeky for geeks...)

I have learned to aim for the legs and not let up until one of them blows off. center mass is for losers in this game.

I'm not into the online multiplayer that much right now. My live subscription ran out, and I haven't bothered paying for another at the moment.

One player games are fine for me.

[The Mothman]

. I still think about that horse.

haha. did you kill it like i did?

[Phalanx]

I still think about that horse.
Agro?
I love shouting that out at just the right moment at work.


Still slooowly working my way through xmen legends 1.
I tend to get pissed off with it here'n there.

[ChronoGrl]

haha. did you kill it like i did?

OMG! I didn't know you could kill it!

...

*puts Darkness back into console*

[Leland_malinski]

Hey.. i am looking for a horror video game for xbox 360.. any suggestions??? Did you guys here Gore Verbinski is going to do Bioshock the movie..

[VampiricClown]

haha. did you kill it like i did?

I didn't know you could. :eek:

I'm going to have to check that out!

[VampiricClown]

Condemned: Criminal Origins
Condemned: Bloodshot
The Darkness
Dead Rising

Those should get you started.

And we have a thread on the movie.

[VampiricClown]

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

I just beat the first level of this one. It's not nearly as scary as the first one.

[newb]

I have a tendency to start games and not finish them. So I'm trying to finish Halo 3, F.E.A.R. and Bio-Shock this week.

[Vodstok]

I cant speak for Halo, but for the other, 2, your are in for quite a treat if you finish both this week. very different games, both with jaw dropping endings. Again, VERY different.

I wont tell you which one, but one of them will possibly make you shit your pants.


BTW, let me know when you DO finish them, I appear to be the only person here who has finished either of them.

[urgeok2]

i think a lot of people have finished bioshock here .. chrono was tallking about it.

Halo 2 and 3 are the only 2 games i ever finished ... so i definately have that same tendancy to start them and abandon them.

[Vodstok]

Well, I appear to be the only one who finished FEAR then.


For horror fans to havel played and not finished FEAR... Its like being a horror fan who has never seen the exorcist or texas chainsaw massacre... you HAVE to, it is too good an example of the genre not to.

Maybe some horror fans just doesn't like shoot-em-up games.

Ever thought about that, hmm?

I finished the game awhile back but just didn't care for it that much.they talked about how much horror was involved but in reality you spend most of your time fightint those soldiers.

....A lot of us here have finished BioShock (Including me). I was going to pick up F.E.A.R., but I read that it erases it's saves on the 360. And I don't have suped up graphics cards to run on PC.

Hey, HEY, I finished Bioshock! :p

...and pretty much have been bugging everyone I know with a PC or console to pick it up. Ridiculously amazing game, though the final Big Bad was a little too easy to beat.

Soooooooo... You're one of the many who have recommended F.E.A.R. Maybe I'll have to pick that one up next...

...

I am currently playing Condemned: Criminal Origins...

aaaaaaaaaaaaand... I am a huge pussy and am totally terrified. I think it was Mothman who said it was scarier than the second one... And he's right. :o

[Vodstok]

It was build up. there is a lot of fighting clones and blowing shit ip, but even if the rest of the game sucked, the final 20 minutes and closing scene made up for any shortcomings in my opinion.

if you can run directx 9 you can play fear. cards that can show dx9 are old these days, so you might be able too.

And you have added another argument to my list to why consoles suck ;)

I apprently missed your bioshock posts. sorry... Did you beat it as good or bad?

And yes, pick up fear. these days it is just a tad dated, but the gore, action and horror make up for it. it is ridiculously atmospheric. it plays like a horror movie, a well done horror movie.

No need to apologize. Much to my dismay this forum does not revolve around me and my posts. :p

I beat Bioshock as "Good," so I think it really helped me get to a point where I was ultimately a powerhouse and the enemies weren't a real threat to me... Which took some of the challenge out of it. Then again, I was playing it on "easy." hahaha

How about you?

And if you like horror-based video games, have you picked up either of the Condemned games? Bloodshot is pretty damn good and I'm making my way through Criminal Origins now.

[Freak]

I beat it as bad first then turned around and beat it as good.I need to go throuhg and beat it on hard though.

[VampiricClown]

I'm playing Crackdown now. I picked it up, and haven't put it down yet. It's a lot of fun, and a lot to do.
