Black Ops ,

Re5 again!

Fallout New Vegas


Just has good as 3 if not better.My two complaints are that it's alot harder than 3 and it seems to be awful glitchy right now.Nothing major just some lag mostly.

Ya fallout!!!

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.

If you loved all the scrolling 2D beat 'em ups from ages ago you'll eat this shit right up.

...plus I'm getting thru the original Call Of Duty and ToCA Race Driver 3

Gregory Horror Show

Finally got a copy of Call of Duty Black Ops.Havent played the campaign to much but the multiplayer is pretty sweet.

Resistance 2 - Enjoying it quite a bit.

"Gran Turismo 5" PS3

Just pure awsome. :cool:

Assassins Creed: Brotherhood


I only got to play it for a short bit but I liked what I saw.Wanna give the multiplayer a chance also.

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.

"Castlevania - lords of shadow" PS3

Not a big Hack n Slash fan, but i like the Lord Of The Ring universe and all the movie parts.

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.

Going through Halo Reach and trying to finish off the campaign.

Deadly Premonition.
I thought it looked weird and interesting.
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.

Yea.. pretty much the same.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor

I love Atlus

Just picked up my Devil SUmmoner 2 special edition for the PS2 with the Raiho plush haha... I love it.

"Assasins Creed: Brotherhood" PS3


So far so... known..

Red Dead Undead Nightmare



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.

cod black ops

Just started on Halo Reach, bit manic and not enough ammo around but enjoying it so far.

Black Ops
