But what are they good for?

[Straker]

Modern Warfare 2

[urgeok2]

that new halo game - but i'm not too interested to finish it now that i watched my kid play it through.

bought guitar hero world tour for the ps3 cheap - so we've been playing a bit of that - not as fun as rock band though

all the rock bands - and Lipps are constantly played at our house now.

[Despare]

Nothing, vanilla scented oil was poured into my xbox yesterday. Bah.

[Boogenhagen]

Nothing, vanilla scented oil was poured into my xbox yesterday. Bah.

Wow - really sorry to hear that. I am playing Left For Dead 2 on XBOX 360.

[Freak]

But what are they good for?

You need them for a mission for TK later.My advice is not to collect any until you get to the mission.

That's pretty much too late as i've been playing it since saturday..

Perfect Dark Zero (If it will load...)

Going after achievements....

I was going to make some kind of crass homoerrotic joke, but... That just sucks.

It seems to be working, and bonus, if I play for a while the room smells great!












Oh, and you're a homoerotic joke. :p

[cheebacheeba]

Uncharted 2.
Seems pretty damn good so far...still not a fan of the duck and cover stuff, but the rest of the game makes up for it IMO.
Very atmospheric, cool voice acting and a good storyline to boot.
...and that first scene was fucked up...

Left 4 Dead on Expert. Trying to finish the No Mercy Campaign.

Left 4 Dead on Expert. Trying to finish the No Mercy Campaign.

Try playing the new one on expert with realism.Can't make it past the first level on any of them.

Strapped for cash at the moment. As soon as I get some, I'm getting Left 4 Dead 2 and Borderlands.

It took me about 3 hours, but I beat the No Mercy campaign on expert. (Not playing online.)

Simple, but in these times of "pandemics" it's great fun!

[Straker]

Borderlands.- Just hit level 30, think I'm close to finishing the main story now. Really good game. Haven't really played anything else since I picked this up.

[_____V_____]

Just loaded up Timeshift. Hope it doesn't disappoint or turn out to be too confusing.

[VampiricClown]

Just loaded up Timeshift. Hope it doesn't disappoint or turn out to be too confusing.

It's really nothing all that special. It's pretty straight-forward. And it doesn't really feel original, after all is said and done. Just kind of a sci-fi version of F.E.A.R..

[nightmare_of _death]

New Super Mario Brothers Wii

[Angra]

"Saw" PS3

It's like playing a tribute to the Saw series. All the highligts from the movies seems to be in there.

[cheebacheeba]

Hidden Objects - The Big Journey.
Good for concentration I suppose.

[Freak]

Trials HD


Fun little Xbox Arcade game.Very addicting and challenging.

[wretched]

F.e.a.r 2 ;)

[fortunato]

Just finished playing through story mode on Left 4 Dead 2.

Pretty great.

[urgeok2]

lego rock band

[The Mothman]

Grand Theft Auto
The Ballad of Gay Tony

great story so far and wonderfully built characters, excellent voice acting, seems like they may have improved on the graphics a bit as well, overall I'm impressed.

[ChronoGrl]

That's what he said.

Playing Left 4 Dead II on the Xbox 360 - Offline co-op with the boyfriend. Just beat the first two campaigns... Dark Carnival was a BLAST.

[Angra]

That's what he said.

Bought The Saboteur tonight.It was $44 on sale so I said what the hell.Haven't had a chance to get into it to much but so far its pretty sweet.The game also came with a code that you can use to make all the dancers in the game topless,so there's that.

[Despare]

Burnout: Paradise and Killing Floor

[Angra]

In a few hours i'll be playing Dragon Age Origin.

Looking forward to it.

[cheebacheeba]

My friend bought that one and was severely dissapointed...but I think his major issue was how it "looked like an xbox 1 could've handled it" and he's like a gaming elitist that doesn't usually see beyond the latest bells n whistles.

I started playing "Mario and Luigi - Partners in Time" which actually looks pretty good, this was unexpected...

[Angra]

Well, my cousin, whos a total WOW nerd, told me it was the best game he'd ever played.

So you could say i got kinda high expectations, even tho i liked the style of "The Elder Scrolls - Oblivion" much better than "Baldurs Gate".

[Angra]

I have to agree with your friend about the graphics.

Both graphics and movements brings back memories to the Might & Magic games for ps1. And then there's all the talking. WTF?? Been playing the game for more than 3 hours and it still feels like i'm in the middle of the introduction. Man, I just wanna hack'n slash'n loot!!!

[ferretchucker]

Got three on the go, all of which are amazing.

Modern Warfare 2 - Getting better at Xbox Live. This is the first COD game I've played.
Left 4 Dead 2 - See my review in the L4D2 thread
Batman: Arkham Asylum - Totally blew me away. Despare recommended this to me a while back and I am plowing my way through it. Gameplay is like a better version of Prince of Persia, characterization, storyline, graphics and scenery are completely Gotham.

[ChronoGrl]

Just started Dragon Age: Origins... My GOD it takes a looooooooooooong time to get into... Still setting the story up, I'm afraid. :(

Combat leaves a bit to be desired; it seems clunky and slow (and, no, I don't think it's because of the weapon I'm wielding), and sometimes switching perspective just confuses things. Controls are a little clunky too. I had read reviews that the 360 was the weakest version. I wonder if that's where the problems lie.

If you dig Lord Of The Rings the story is amazing.

But yea.... they sure talk a lot..

Been playing it for 14 hours now. They still talk. :eek:


Reminds me a lot of the final fantasy games. Especially the last one. Which i loved by the way. :)

I have a Playstation 3, but I'm not sure it's backwards compatible. Which sucks because I really want to give FF a try.

I see FFXIII is coming out in March for 360 and PS3 - Have you heard anything about it?

"Darksiders" PS3

Bad-ass intro and start.

The gameplay seems very "God of war"ish.

[Azazel005]

"Darksiders" PS3

Bad-ass intro and start.

The gameplay seems very "God of war"ish.

It does hash that Devil May Cry/God of War free swinging combat together though it's sense of world design and progression harkens back to the SNES style classic 3rd person RPGs that were so popular in the wake of Zelda.

It didn't think it was half bad, though I am not a puzzle solving man at heart and towards the end it feels as if I am just going from one eleaboratly designed puzzle to the next hoping for something to fight.

I have a Playstation 3, but I'm not sure it's backwards compatible. Which sucks because I really want to give FF a try.

I see FFXIII is coming out in March for 360 and PS3 - Have you heard anything about it?

FFXii is definetly backwards compatible with the the PS3 I run it on mine without a problem. It made some really positive deviations from the formula in terms of combat and is not without it's charms. Additionally it has Balthier in it who is like what I imagine the lovechild of James Bond and Han solo would be like, easily the best character born of the FF series since the chilling almost androgynous villian Sepiroth of FFVii.

Still it has much of the same problems as any FF game, overly self involved characters and plots mired in melodrama more then even I am comfortable absorbing. Not to mention the fact it still involves massive amounts of wandering around chipping away at enemies until your thumbs blister up.

Controls are a little clunky too. I had read reviews that the 360 was the weakest version. I wonder if that's where the problems lie.

I enver found this, many have talked about it being cumbersome and overly difficult nevertheless I found the learning curve smooth as silk, and by the time I was fighting large groups of difficult enemies I was switching characters setting up backstabs and throwing down bad ass magic like a pro. What origin story did you choose?

Ahhh alas the curse of being so many miles away, was I closer I'd just come over to your house sit you down teach you all the tricks and watch intrigued as to how your version of the story played out. There is certainly some compelling moments and characters in the game I do encourage you to "tough it out" so to speak.

Batman AA was freaking AWESOME. Did you see the teaser for the sequel ferret? Looks like they are going to open up the city for the Dark Knight! I swear to god the thought of it almost makes me squee llike a incy child in excitement.

[campblood]

Grand theft auto 4

[Jacob Singer]

Siren Blood curse....not bad

[cheebacheeba]

Brain Age 2 - TRY to play it daily.
I got down to 26 in my last check, 29 in the one after, ha, guess I had a bad day...though considering I'm not 29 quite yet, I'm good with it.

Mario VS Donkey Kong 2
Yknow, it's not a bad game...but I'm really annoyed with it to be honest, more annoyed with Nintendo that they didn't continue the main series as it was
eg: Donkey Kong gameboy, Mario VS Donkey Kong 1, where you ran around as Mario etc...anyone who's played 'em knows these games rocked...though in this one you have to click on little Mario Toys, press switches etc, to let them proceed safely through the levels...as I said while not a bad game, it feels more like a Lemmings title than anything - they should have just sold this one as a spin-off and continued the actual series with the title.

Scribblenauts.
Interesting. Pretty simple game...but deceptively difficult at times.

[The_Return]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Absolutely fantastic...IMO this is probably the best Mario title since the NES games. Typically I'm not a big Wii fan, but this makes it totally worthwhile.

[cheebacheeba]

The DS version "new super mario" was pretty good also - they seem to have taken the idea a step further with the wii version.
Gotta love a Mario game as it's supposed to be.

[Freak]

Darksiders


I'm actually enjoying this quite a bit.Although it becomes more of a puzzle game as you get further into it.But still pretty solid gameplay.



Army of Two: The 40th Day

This was kind of a let down.The controls are pretty crappy and the cover system is weak.

[Despare]

Just put Sam & Max (the original) and Doom on my phone so that'll keep me busy while I'm busy.

Glad to hear it.

Almost bought that one, but chose "The Saboteur" instead.



"The Saboteur" PS3

This is GTA set in 1940s France, with a little Assasins Creed added.

I really love the scenery. Very nice graphics with lots of nice details, such as famous buildings and..... the sky is actually very cool to look at. I also love that it's possible to just drive out in the countryside if you feel like it. The change in scenery is very well made. Both the landscape and the sky.

The missions are not far from what you're used to in the GTA games, but I personally could have wished for a few more checkpoints durring some of the missions, as you many times don't have a clue how to complete them.

Only 1 thing annoys the hell out of me about this game and that's the character you're playing. A cocky irish fuck of a hero. Every time he starts talking i hope for a bullet to hit his face or some nazi to come rip out his tongue. That would be swell..

[Doctor Loomis]

modern warfare 2

[NzBigC]

Football Manager 2010

[Jacob Singer]

Metal Gear Solid 4, just started , but good impresion
Silent Hill homecoming...errr...not as good as I wish...just poor graphics, stupid dialogs and surrealistic situations

[ChronoGrl]

Just put Sam & Max (the original)

NICE! That was always one of my favorite PC games. Snucky's and the world's largest ball of twine are classic.

...

Just started playing Borderlands on the PS3. What a blast. The graphics are absolutely stunning and this game is awesome.

[Posher778]

Still playing Requiem. Still wishing Rayne and Dustin would play it with me :(

[Dante'sInferno]

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, pretty cool. I like how they re-did everything, the only thing that sucks is that you hafta run away from everything

Metroid Prime: Trilogy. I'm still on the first one. But it's great so far. :)

[Despare]

Dragon Age

[Dante'sInferno]

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I'm loving it so far.

[Dante'sInferno]

game cube or Wii?
I was wondering which one to play it on.

The Wii. I would probably like playing it on the Wii more anyway, since that way your actually interacting with the game. :)

[Dante'sInferno]

cool... i might have to get it for the wii then.
i started playing Dead Space again, i beat it b4, so i started a new game, kickass game.
and i can't wait till tomorrow midnight. Bioshock 2.

Cool! I really want to play that one. Bioshock 2 looks cool too. I also want to play Dante's Inferno.

[Dante'sInferno]

dant'es inferno looks like it sucks, no offense to you.

None taken. I just like the hack n' slash kind of games.

[Dante'sInferno]

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I'm loving it so far.

Holy shit, this game is addicting.

[Straker]

Holy shit, this game is addicting.


Played through most of it back when I first got a Wii, quality game. Can't rememebr why I didn't get through the whole game though. Don't know whether I got stuck on a section or just drifted off it. Might have to try and get back into it.

Mostly playing Left for Dead 2 at the moment.

[ChronoGrl]

Dragon Age

I'm still at the beginning...

Couldn't get into it... I put it down for Borderlands.

XBox, I wouldn't buy any cross platform multiplayer game on the PS3. Just a matter of who's on 360 Vs. who's on PS3.

Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2)

id be playing burnout paradise but a certain female wench/succubus stole my ps3 the last night i was letting her crash at my house. i have to be the only person on earth who has had TWO PS3's stolen from him in under 1 year. needless to say i let very few people into my house anymore

[The Mothman]

Yeah you need to put Bioshock in.
I wasnt too impressed with it, it feels almost like a carbon copy of the original.

Ive been playing Mass Effect 2 intensely for the past week, totally addicted.

"Heavy Rain" PS3

Good so far.

[DeadKlown]

so not 1 of u felt in any way sorry for me that i had over 900 dollars worth of video game consoles stolen from me.....typical humans .....self centered and i dunno
i hate humans

[cheebacheeba]

No, I don't feel sorry for you - you made a ill advised decision (perhaps on account of your dick) and put trust and faith in the wrong person, and evidently you're letting a bunch of the same sorts into your place for having had it happen twice, either that or you openly flaunt
a: your goods
b: your lack of security
After this you'll HOPEFULLY be more cautious but better for it, so it's in fact a valuable lesson learned.


"Heavy Rain" PS3

Good so far.

Is it in any way comparable to Fahrenheit? Like in the way it's controlled and works etc? I've been waiting a fair while for this....by the time I get it, it'll probably be a bit cheaper...

I myself found a game for $1.
Actually, two games for $1 each, brand new.
Given, they're pretty old...I had not played either.
Both PC games
One is morrowind
The one I'm actually playing is called "prisoner of war" slow, but interesting.

[Angra]

Fahrenheit would be the right game to put Heavy Rain up against, coz the thoughts behind them are very much alike. Unique gameplay and both games are like interactive movies.

The age difference is noticable, needles to say. Both gameplay and controls are better in Heavy Rain. But the big reason why Heavy Rain is a much better game and why it's got all this positive buzz around it, is because of its story. It's really that good. Like if Se7en had never been made into a movie and instead comes out as a videogame. It's that kind of a story. And the build-up is amazing.

[LizLaceration]

Ninja Gaiden nes (hardest game ever)

SO true.

That's a ridiculously difficult game series.

[cheebacheeba]

The ninja gaiden on sega master system (there was just one) was way better, I thought...the nes ones just seemed a tad too repetetive...but yeah if you can play and actually finish the old sega one, there's a good challenge.

[The Mothman]

Battlefield Bad Company 2
im already hooked

[VampiricClown]

Call Of Duty: World At War on Veteran

This isn't extremely hard, but there have been a couple of TV cursing moments. I'm about halfway through.

[The Mothman]

The only one I've managed to beat on veteran was the second one. fuck it was hard.

[Dante'sInferno]

Co-op mode with my brother on Gears of War 2

I haven't tried beating WaW on veteran, they're probably equal in difficulty.

Playing Dragon Age Origins.
totally weak RPG. bad graphics, lame combat. all around disappointing game

[VampiricClown]

I haven't tried beating WaW on veteran, they're probably equal in difficulty.


Have you tried the third one?

[Freak]

I found WaW to be the hardest on veteran.MW@ is by far the easiet.Not a million grenades landing at your feet.


Metro 2033.Had the potential to be a fantastic game but it was rushed and is really glitchy.If they had took the time to polish this game a little more it would have been IMo one of the years best games.

Then the others shouldn't be quite as much of a controller throwing experience. It isn't that bad, but I've found that there tends to be one part in every level, that you must do over and over again. Luckily, I've only a few levels left to go.

That sucks. I was looking forward to playing Metro 2033.

GTA: The Lost & The Damned
Seriously reconsidering turning it on again...I mean, I honestly wonder how many people actually LIKE gta anymore since #4...
Loved VC and SA, but it's like with increased realism comes decreased fun.
Even fucking around shooting shit doesn't seem as enjoyable anymore.
...and I've just had it with missions that give you an instant "wanted" rating, it's like every fucking one in this particular title...I just don't enjoy running from cops that much.
I don't know, I think unless some changes are made, GTA is over for me.

I just hate chasing cars. Coz i suck at it.

Smackdown Vs Raw 2010. What can I say I dont watch much wrestling anymore but still love the games.

[Angra]

how's that....the demo is much better than the 1st

I really couldn't tell you.

Played it for 20 minutes, about 10 days ago. Haven't touched it since.

Not that is seemed bad in any way, I just don't feel like playing at the moment. Probably because i'm 33 and not 23. Now i find more joy in knitting... just kidding, of course.

[cheebacheeba]

Still Zelda - hourglass
I don't really like it THAT much but wanna finish it up.

They don't make games like this anymore. And maybe that's a good thing.

Bioshock.....

[iSeymore]

Although I really don't play videogames, I'm thinking about purchasing "Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition" because growing up I always had a small fear of those video games and "Zombies" but now that I'm nineteen, and started taking interest in Capcom's Resident Evil game, that's mainly because I spent some time playing both Left 4 Dead videogames.

"Red dead redemtion" PS3

Okay.

This is what i can tell after 40 minutes of gamplay.

The intro is quite slow and a little bit boring. The scenery, on the other hand, is amazing. The graphics is about the same standards as GTA 4. Neither better or worse. So that's pretty damn good.

So far there's really nothing to dislike. And what i love the most is that Rockstar has finally dared to try something new with their, amazing, open world concept and gone with an older century. Coz even tho GTA 4 was close to being perfect in my book, the concept was getting a little tedious.

Story wise there's really nothing new. Sure in the intro they're horsebacking while chit chatting, but they might as well could've been driving a cab having the same conversation.

But so far, the scenery is what's winning me over. But the story hasn't begun yet...

To be continued.

[Dante'sInferno]

Red Dead Redepmtion. It's so FUN. Left 4 Dead 2 and Fallout 3.

This is what i can tell after 40 minutes of gamplay.

The intro is quite slow and a little bit boring. The scenery, on the other hand, is amazing. The graphics is about the same standards as GTA 4. Neither better or worse. So that's pretty damn good.

So far there's really nothing to dislike. And what i love the most is that Rockstar has finally dared to try something new with their, amazing, open world concept and gone with an older century. Coz even tho GTA 4 was close to being perfect in my book, the concept was getting a little tedious.

Story wise there's really nothing new. Sure in the intro they're horsebacking while chit chatting, but they might as well could've been driving a cab having the same conversation.

But so far, the scenery is what's winning me over. But the story hasn't begun yet...

To be continued.


The aim-and-shoot function works really, really well.

I'm not very impressed by the voice actors tho. Much of the dialogue sounds like they read up from the script and the characters conversations and lines are close to being bad.

Cold Fear - PC.
I believe I'm at the final boss now.
True, it's a few years old now (2005-2006 maybe?) but this game just really hit the mark for me, it's one of the best survival/horror games I've played in aaaages.
It's kind of like...dead space meets run like hell meets resident evil 4?
Just been a pleasure all the way to play.
A *little* limited when it comes to enemies, though the ones you encounter are pretty cool looking and of variable challenge.
Nothing all THAT groundbreaking but an interesting setting, an ok storyline and an overall very tense creep out atmosphere, pretty good looking game to boot.
I'd recommend it to those that don't mind stepping back from the brand new.

Just restarted Phantom Hourglass (Zelda)

[Psycom5k]

Assassin's Creed 2 for the xbox, beat the story in around 20 hours, been trying to find and unlock all of the truth because for me, thats the most interesting part of the game, though its not a bad game at all. Its an awesome one, its just the truth just nags at me, to get it finished, cause there is lots of really interesting conspiracy stuff going on.

[cheebacheeba]

I finished Cold Fear, and went up to EB games...man, XBOX 1 games are so cheap right now...I haven't used mine for ages and I've never had much of a collection since getting it, so I picked up some more.

Midnight Club 3 - Dub Edition
This one was my chicks choice. Well...seems ok...I like the open world driving/racing games. I have not played it myself but it looks entertaining enough I suppose, nice and shiny considering its age.

Soul Calibur 2 - I needed a solid 2 player fighter so when I saw it for $7 there was no decision making process at all. SC, since the first title Soulblade on PS1, has been my favourite VS fighter. So much value there.

Still Life - Another of her choices.
Pretty good looking game though. Doesn't seem to have a lot of action? But you get to investigate crime scenes and some grisly shit going on. Good dialogue too.

Obscure
Waited a while to get this, and not too sure what I make of it now.
I like the movie-esqe feeling of it? Not too sure on the gameplay itself.
I mean I'll be keeping it anyways, it seems solid enough.

Picking up some more today.

"Final Fantasy XIII" PS3

First FF game for PS3 and it very well could be the worst Final Fantasy game i've ever played. VERY disappointing so far.


"Singularity" PS3

Very fast paced horror shooter with a nice atmosphere. Very "Fear"ish. Personally i like this one better than the Fear's due to the pacing and the fact that you, in a horror game, actually are up against monsters instead of just other soldiers.



"Obscure" PS2

Yea, i can only agree with Cheebs about this one. This is a horror game where the story goes on even tho your heroes dies one after another, if you play the game bad enough. Like me. :cool:

The story seems pretty exciting.

What i don't like about it is the gameplay, especially when fighting, and that you can't change the viewing angles while walking around or fighting. Makes it more than difficult to hit your targets when you don't know exactly where they are. :rolleyes:

Been checking out Saints Row (1) which is more or less GTA:SA gone arcade...not bad but seems to lack a little bit of depth right now.

In our room where we have the xbox, I've been looking at this game from Rare called "Grabbed by the Ghoulies", which I thought just may be something like Zombies ate my Neighbours, but, unfortunately it's not.

I like it. Bit stealthy for ME though they seem to give you a bit more choice on how to tackle missions further into the game.
It's honestly a very well made game I have to give it that...comes across as very authentic, it's quite atmospheric and actually has a GOOD storyline, and some great dialogue. Visuals are pretty brilliant, even on my non-HD tv.

No I hadn't played it before. Just getting into playing games now... I'd just sort of dable with the odd game but decided to get into some now I've got a newer computer.

I got Far Cry in one of those cheap double packs for $10 along with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. But yeh it's killer (considering I'd only really played old shit like Doom haha) and I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

[cheebacheeba]

I LOVE sniping guys in that game...crawl into some grass, take 'em out at a distance, then run away from the area, shoot more as they investigate.
I actually quite liked the enemy soldiers, but yeah - it's pretty different than stuff like doom and the first couple of quakes, duke nukem and the like, but I really thought they pulled off a pretty decent storyline (which I won't spoil).

Just wanna say - Continuing to play through The Saboteur.

Gorgeous too. Like a darker, more palatable Little Big Planet.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Real keen to check out Mafia II when I can afford to pick it up.


I enjoyed Mafia II, but there are some things you should be aware of before spending your money on it.

Firstly, although it looks like an open world "sandbox" game, like GTA IV etc, it really isn't. It is in fact very linear. Sure, you can drive/walk around the city, but there is virtually nothing to do. Rob some shops, steal a car, kill some bystanders and get into police chases. That is about it. Really, it is meant to be played through in a linear, mission based way.

Secondly, it is quite short. Maybe 10 hours or less on the hardest difficulty?

You spend a lot of that time driving around. You often have a long drive to a mission, sometimes a short drive between sites, and then another long drive home. There is more driving than shoot outs.

Jimmy's Vendetta DLC adds quite a bit more play time, but they sting you another $13 USD for that.

It also requires a pretty beefy system if you want to play it on maximum settings on the PC.

I did enjoy the game - I liked the storyline which was very much a compendium of Mafia movie cliches. But I think it is probably not what everyone expects when they play it.

[Angra]

Haven't played the first one and only been playing this one for a couple of hours.

A little disappointed tho. Thought it was going to be a Gladiator vs. Resident Evil kind of game. But it's just your usual zombie survival story. And not a very good story so far. But the gameplay seems alright at least.

Sure, the weapons are fun.

But the game is quite repetitive. It's pretty much the same you do again and again. Out rescuing survivors in the city. And in between is the story. Sure, you can explore, but there's always the time limit, which sucks.

And also, the way you fight the zombies reminds me of God Of War and old Amiga Beat-em-up games such as Double Dragon. No creepy atmosphere, just kick ass action. Satisfying to some, disappointing to me.

[cheebacheeba]

Just finished "The Saboteur" (Seriously, play it motherfuckers)

Right now, when I'm not playing 2p on the Megadrive collection, I've been checking out Saints Row 2. Yknow, I wish GTA would take a page here and consider making some actual sequels - it's worked really well in this case. I'm enjoying it thus far and it's got a GREAT soundtrack. Still a bit arcadey in terms of driving and shooting but very fun, and the explosions look phenomenal. Cool how the storyline just continues, I look forward to seeing some familiar faces from the first.

There is a game called Dantes inferno for the playstation 3 and xbox 360, It isnt technically considered a "Horror" video game like Silent Hill or anything like that but it is based on a Condemned Man who goes threw the 7 layers of Hell in pursuit of his Wife who was also Condemned because of Dantes adultery with another woman, She wagered her soul to Lucifer that he would stay faithful until the day they both seize to exist, and He failed. It is a pretty long game, its single player and I enjoyed it very much. It is sort of like Devil may cry and God of war, Meaning you run around and kill everything you see. Collecting Souls , Either Condemning them or Absorbing them, Dark or light. Each gives souls to purchase New Attack moves and Magic abilities. If anyone who reads this has a newer game system and Like Dark games, Which if your on this site, Im guessing you do. Lol. I suggest you go to a Game store and buy it used. Should be around 30 to 40 $ most def' worth it in my opinion... Ty 4 reading my post on Dantes Inferno.

You lucky b....
I think he meant to say lucky buttfucker.

I've been playing "Spider-Man - Shattered Dimeonsions", and I have to say, this is the best Spider-Man game I've EVER played...the only other one I've really liked was the first one on Playstation/Dreamcast and have felt the rest of them just seemed like clones since (that said I've yet to play web of shadows, that looks great too).
Perfect combat/web swinging/zip-lining system, including a first person brawling system that comes into play too...that actually doesn't suck...
Decent dialogue (with every Spider-Man been played by a former cartoon incarnation of the character) and voice acting, and a relatively compelling storyline.
My only criticism really is that the Spider-Man 2099 levels seem a little lacking, because of effort to make them different...it's interesting all the same.
REALLY well done game with some fucking epic boss fights.
Fans of the character or the games ought to give this one a look, IMO it's the definitive Spider-Man gaming experience.

and The Saboteur
Now THAT is a shit-hot game. Loved it.

Just loaded up Call of Duty: World At War and I am really looking forward to it, after reading some of the glowing reviews it has got. This is my first CoD game so...what can I expect?

Just played the first few minutes and it looks good so far. Hope there are individual missions ahead. I read someplace that a mission involving zombies is also available. Download, unlock or Easter egg?

[cheebacheeba]

Your first COD game?
Expect something very intense and an almost shellshock type feeling when you put it down...WAW is one of my favourites thus far, if not the best IMO.
Very cinematic, some CRAZY firefights, and quite creepy in parts too.
You unlock the zombie bit upon completion...I haven't played any of the downloadable content ones (there's 3 more) but in all honesty the first one, was a bit boring, just surviving while hordes come at you...no open world going on at all.
Overall though, REALLY good game.

I'm back to saints row 2, borrowed a copy from a friend.

I just finished Spider-Man shattered dimensions, and wow, easily the best spider-man game EVER - I highly recommend this to ANYONE.

Enslaved - Odyssey to the West.
Visually excellent, storyline is solid enough and the dialogue suits the characters well enough. The levels are a little linear, and there's not much of a chance for open exploration but those are my only complaints.
The enemies are interesting and challenging, and the game makes you want to get through it.
There's elements of God of War, Uncharted, and Ico mingling here to make a pretty nicely done cinematic game.
It's not without it's flaws, some annoying camera angles are among them...but overall it's a very fun game set in an interesting future reality.
Feels very desolate and lonely.
It's not a game of great depth, but for those who like to look at visually stunning games that have a decent storyline and play pretty cinematically, as well as those fans of Monkey Magic, I'd recommend it.

[cheebacheeba]

SAW - Xbox 360.

So my friend bought this and got fed up with it, and I decided I'd have a go as I've been personally interested in checking it out, and the girlfriend is into puzzle games so I thought it would be something we could play through together.

I thought I'd come in here and talk about how the game is/was, even though I've reached a point that I don't think I'll be bothering to continue past.

First of all the theme/atmosphere works pretty damn well in my opinion, you feel as though you're taking part in a pretty authentic SAW experience - the setting and how the game works reminded me mainly of Saw 2, and I think the events are meant to take place between the first and second film. So yeah in terms of authenticity I wasn't at all disappointed, this game knows how to put you on edge, making it necessary to observe your surroundings and actually follow clues if you're to stay alive.

The "challenge/trap" levels, in which you have to save someone etc, they're varied enough, and again these scenes feel nicely in tone with the movies, they're basically like, puzzle and logic minigames set to a cinematic scene, I enjoyed them.

One thing I had a slight problem with, was your character and how he moves around and fights...it's simply sluggish...I don't really like how the combat works, and yeah I was looking at the screen a lot wondering why you just amble around like your feet are tied together...even at top speed you're practically walking. It's annoying. The combat itself is not "bad" just not very fun at all, the weapons feel unwieldy.

The enemies, well there's your run of the mill folk that have simply been placed in the same location as you and mostly have reasons to want to kill you...they're not really noteworthy. The interesting ones are those with traps...some that can only track you by sound but WILL fuck you ip, there's some with collars that will go off and kill them (and you if you're close) there's others that have things on them that will detonate if they're killed leaving you unable to fight them up close, so it's either let them kill you, or use the environment like doors/locks/barricades to get yourself safe and then take them out by activating traps, stun traps, electrocution, door traps, shotgun tripwire traps and the like.
I really liked this part of the game...and while it takes a little bit to not just stumble into pre-existing traps yourself, the process by which you can disarm them and reassemble them is pretty cool, great fun.

The major let-down is the puzzles.
I don't mind puzzle games, the girl loves them...so I figured, ok.
Then I started seeing a common theme - this game kept throwing almost exactly the same scenario at me.
It was either...
a: Turn off some leaking gas before you die
b: Fix/rewire a circuitboard before bombs all around you explode.
Literally, the same type of scenario happened so many times it got BORING...now this disappointed me, but not enough so that I'd stop playing, at this stage I just thought "ok, so they've run out of ideas?" and kept going.
Now brings me to the point/s in the game that pissed me off, you know them, I know them, those scenes that game designers LOVE to throw around "to make it more challenging", that's right, fucking time limits.
So as I said you'd get one of the aforementioned scenarios, this time, with a countdown...all that changed further into the game, was, less time, more difficulty. Then, I got to a scene that had BOTH of those scenarios in one...both poison gas and a countdown to an explosion, on a BITCH time limit.
I swear to god if ever I see another "pipeline" style current/water redirection game within a game, I will simply turn it off...I've never been too good at those, and personally just don't find them any kind of "fun" or enjoyable.

I understand the need for challenge...but when it gets to the point that if you make one single fuck-up or don't work something out super-fast and it just fucks you over for it, it gets old.
I'm not the most seasoned gamer, but I hold my own...I don't play things on "easy" and generally speaking when I play a game, it gets finished so yeah I'm not quick to throw things into the "too hard" pile.
We tried this scene about 10 times, this may not sound like too many but the overall scene takes some 4 minutes...there's no progression saved, if you don't succeed, it's right back to the beginning.
That's just annoying, and yeah I don't like it when games annoy me.
Could I have done it? I'll hazard a guess and say "probably", but hey maybe it's that I don't spend as many hours gaming as I used to but I find as I get older my tolerance for such bullshit goes out the window and I'm less willing to sit there hammering something like this until I succeed, so I stopped, at the risk of my friends disk meeting with some kind of accident, most of the way through "victim 5" of 7.

In short, if you're a fan of the film series especially the earlier films before everything became convoluted as all fuck, then you'd probably enjoy this game...though, if you're not a person who likes puzzle games, and you're not pretty nimble and fast when it comes to them, you will likely find it problematic, though you may have a higher boiling point than I did.
I will still give this game a 7/10 even with it's shortcomings, and since it's meant to be completely unrelated in storyline, even though I'd expect more of the same I may end up checking out the second one, in the hope that it's addressed some of the issues the first had.

Singularity.
Now this is the kind of sci-fi/horror FPS I like to see.
I can find very few problems with this game...I mean it's not really open world and where you can/can't go is pretty clearly outlined but it doesn't spoil it too much at all...this is one of those games that introduces and throws you into a reality all its own, a reality that feels surreal yet authentic at the same time.
Cool game, nice weapons and upgrades, really WEIRD stuff you can do via time manipulation though it doesn't stray into gimmicky.
Bit of a difficult challenge level but I think most average gamers could get around it fairly well given time.
It's actually a bit scary, quite atmospheric and is very interesting to look at.
For those who liked BioShock and the Half Life games, I'd definitely recommend having a look at this one, I'm enjoying it a lot.

That a game this bad could actually exist is astounding to me.
Terrible menu system, gimped as fuck controls, overly convoluted storyline that makes no sense whatsoever.
This game has actually broken a record with me...I turned it off within 15 minutes, and I know now that I will never play it again.
Avoid at all costs, it's easily one of the top 5 worst games I've ever played.

COD: Black Ops

I didnt write Santa a letter this year so kudos to the old fat guy for getting it for me, early stages yet but has lived up to the hype so far.

Bioshock 2 - Just started the game so I haven't mastered the control system yet, the enviroment looks great so far though.

Thanks for the warning, Cheebs. I would for sure have bought that one.

Fallout New Vegas... Really enjoying it. Then again, not too surprising since I loved Fallout 3.

Great game!!!!! I'm loving it so far!

Playing through Okami on the Wii. It's very addicting and pretty.

Also, adorable animals! :D

Just found a little indie game shop kind of close... picked up SMT: Strange Journey and LaPucelle Tactics. Sweeeet, playing SMT now...

Right now "Bards Tale" on xbox...always wanted to play this.
It's relatively simple, but interesting, user friendly and funny with a pretty humourous protagonist. I like it...not the best in it's league but holds the interest enough to go on.
Kind of showing it's age a little bit hey.

I liked most of that game too. But in the end I got a liiiittle tiny bit tired of the bard dude and his witty remarks.

Fallout: New Vegas with a bit of Left 4 Dead 2 inbetween.

"Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers" PS3

Played it for 3 straight hours last night. Oh yes, I'm hooked. :)

"Two worlds 2" PS3

Been looking forward to this games since last summer coz Open World Medieval is my favorite genre. That being said..

Reeeeeeeally disappointed so far.

The graphics really isn't great even tho it looked so on the back of the cover. The voice acting is some of the worst i've heard in many, many years. But what's even worse is the gameplay. Or more precisely the gamespeed. Your movements are just way too fast. Feels more like driving than running, which makes simple tasks such as running/steering through a doorway quite difficult. Bravo..

Oh, and one more thing. If there really is an open world somewhere i'm looking forward to see it, coz so far it's been like a one way street. :mad:




Now, run out and buy the game people.

Oh.. it was the camera sensitivity that was fucked. Luckily that could be fixed in the game settings. Phew!..

Been buying more than I've been playing but I have started Ilomilo on XBLA. Cute game, can probably get the wife into it. Nabbed Yggdras Union and Riviera for the GBA, Viewtiful Joe & Scourge for the DS, and Suikoden Tactics for the PS2 though... handhelds are great these days because I can play them anywhere.

Been rocking the new NFS: Hot Pursuit too. Lots of fun.

What Have I Done to Deserve This, My Lord?

The first of the "Badman" psp games and I love it. Digging out tunnels, hiding Badman, trying to make sure no hero reaches him alive... fantastic haha.

[Freak]

I've gone through a few games this last month.

Splatterhouse - Nothing to great.Lots of mindless gore fun but very repeative.

Enslaved: Odessey to the West - Once again nothing speacial about this game but I really enjoyed it.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed II - Pretty much the same as the first but the campaign was extremely short.

Bought Dead Space 2 earlier, hopefully be as decent as the reviews have said.

I've literally played it for about 15 minutes, haven't had the time yet. Does look really good though and pretty freaky, hopefully be on a similar 'scare' level to Condemned - some parts in that game, wow, horror films haven't really come close to!

Alan wake, Been looking forward to playing it for so long.
Really good game, one of my favourite single player games in years for the 360. Similar to Heavy Rain in some ways but more of your bulk standard game. Sure it gets a little tedious at times but in terms of atmosphere and the story it's really good, try and get your hands on the DLC as well (think you get a code for the first one if you bought a new copy).

You can pick it up pretty cheap nowadays as well definitely one to get if people like single player stories and are unsure whether to buy or not.

I do also play black ops but I do not like it that much, because it has so much fails in the game, for example the overpowered dogs.. I mean seriously?.. And I got a tomahawk in my knee and what? ..I die...
