Wow, sports games are getting pretty tough.
The new NHL game makes you use both joysticks. One to move, the other for the stick. You deke and shoot. It's been tough to figure out. I might pick that one up though. First NHL game since the N64 days.

Yeah, I guess they're going to patch those shit textures that got left in for some reason. Also, on the demo you can't unlock the frame rate like you could on the 360 so I'm pretty sure it's not running as well.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
That sucks to hear. Its the best looking game I've seen on 360, that is, with the exception of Fable 2, which I'm only a few hours into. I'd say Fable is as good as Bioshock.
I am loving Fable 2. Anybody else?
My copy still hasn't arrived yet. I hope it will arrive in the mail this week.
I can't remember the last time I was giddy to get home a play a game for hours.
The magic system, the quest system, the expirience system...all totally rock. If you like the first one, you will love this one. That being said, I'm only several hours in...so it could potentially epic fail.
Oh, and the guns?

I'm not sure what that \m/ means.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Ah. Word up. Go Longhorns.
I'm being overly critical because every knows it's a good looking game, but I already played and beat it on PC (which looks 100 times better than the PS3). It's a bad port on PS3.
"BioShock" is definitley the best looking on 360 so far, I agree.
Other games beat it slightly in the technical departments ("Gears of War"), but combining great graphics with beautiful art design beats it out.

Playing Starcraft again. I beat it once 8 or 9 years ago and am enjoying it my second time. I have to say, though, that the game hasn't held up as well as the fanboys make out. The gameplay is still very solid don't get me wrong but the game has problems registering clicks sometimes and input overall can feel kind of klunky. Also, how is there not a high res solution for this game yet?
I just finished Dead Space (total play time of a little more than 10 hours) and it stayed great all the way through the end. I love the fact that you get stuff when you finish it and if you choose can play through it again with all your stuff saved. I played through pretty much solely with the cutter so i'm looking forward to playing through again and trying out the other weapons.

Started playing Dead Space. Intitial impressions are strong enough, but I was a bit dissapointed that the monsters are shown so damn soon. I was hoping for some more build-up a la Aliens.

I also finished Dead Space earlier today on medium. It was a lot of fun. The final boss was a bit too easy and ending was really lame, but I liked the game overall. I think I finished it in about 12 hours. The levels had just the right length (about 1 hour for each level).
I decided to only use the Plasma Cutter for my first run and was surprised that it wasn't that hard. You get plenty of ammo for the cutter and when fully upgraded this weapon is pretty strong. I ended my first run with over 100k in credits and about 17 nodes to spare. Then I saw that rewards screen at the end. :lol: Among some other stuff, you get an additional 50k in credits and 10 nodes. This will help with maxing out everything.
Towards the end it felt like a lot of fights were the same though. You enter a room, doors lock, enemies rush out and after killing all the enemies the doors open again. It's not bad, but it was very predictable after a while. And it sucks that you can't carry over your items and stats to a new game on a higher difficulty level...
LittleBigPlanet looks fucking adorable...I must have it.

Fallout 3, people.
Very unfortunate that nobody else has played some of the greatest games ever. I've been waiting for this game for 10 bloomin' years.
Eh, I'm really not interested.
Like "Oblivion", I'm just not interested in a game that's so big and detailed I have no freaking idea where to start, where to go, what to do or how to go about anything.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Definitely on my list - after I finish Dead Space and then Fable 2.
What is Fallout 3 all about?
Fallout is definately on my horizon, sometime.
Post-apocalyptic RPG. A new entry into the uber-classic PC franchise of the same name. For an easy comparison, think Oblivion meets Mad Max, with a healthy dose of dark subversive humor.
The first two games cane be dl'ed here for only $5 each, and they are totally worth it.

These games set the standards for Western developed RPGs.
I don't even like RPGs and I want to play Fallout 3.

D, the demo for Tomb Raider: Underworld just went up on XBL. It's about 1,3 GB though. I downloaded it and just finished it. It is really good. The demo takes place in Thailand and the ruins / environment looks absolutely amazing. You fight a bunch of tigers in the demo and they look fantastic as well. Lara moves a lot faster compared to Legend, which is nice. And she has a bunch of cool new moves like wall jumping. Oh, yeah you can also customize the game in some areas (enemy health, damage to Lara, ammo and time for saving grabs). I'm really impressed by the demo and will buy this game day one. Can't wait to play the full game.
