Video Games...Discuss Them

Portal 2 was remarkable. And yet, not quite that ingenious, that difficult because the levels are so judiciously and carefully constructed that there's really little doubt about what platforms to use, where to direct the portal gun etc...

It's really amazing how such spartan and desolate surroundings seem to provide a world of info to process. The smallest cubicle, the most inconsequential of (closed) doors seem to spark the imagination. And the voice work by Merchant and also Simmons rocks!

Now on to Just Cause 2.

You should play the co-op maps (with someone who hasn't played them yet). They are waaaaaaay more difficult.

Got quite a ways in to the co-op maps. They made my brain hurt.

Maybe I should, but It always comes back to having lots of other games lying around and I do feel very satisfied with what Portal 2 offered me. So they're totally new maps that completely turn what one knows about the game on its head?

I'll take it into consideration Duke!

Majora's Mask > Ocarina of Time

i want to agree with this but i feel like it needs another dungeon or two.

WW is my favorite Zelda game.

Me too.

I'm like 99% sure Mark Hamill is the voice of Khonshu in the Moon Knight pinball table.

I've only played the Ghost Rider table so far, it's pretty hard.

Yeah, thought it's pretty neat. Love the aesthetic.

Moon Knight, I got 38-million on my first try.

Thor I can't seem to get much of anything on. Same with X-Men.

I really hope they keep releasing tables for this - not just Marvel tables, but all kinds. "Pinball FX2" is one of my favorite 360 titles.

One in particular took me and a buddy 2 hours to figure out.

It's Pure White World Tendency for the next two weeks in Demon's Souls. Go experience those PWWT events and enjoy the game while it's just a bit easier (although you won't get as many souls).

Revisiting and restarting Red Dead Redemption. I'll probably spend a few hours hunting before I go back and do more of the Bonnie missions so I can get my lasoo.

OK, this is just BAD-ASS:

Has anyone played Predator Master yet in Batman?

[D_Davis]

There were some fans of Vanquish here, right?

[Dukefrukem]

Jesus the steam holiday sale has begun...

Fucking finally. So god damn hard.

Now i just need to clean up the rest of the riddler crap.

[Skitch]

Picked up NHL 09 just in time for EA to turn off its servers. Ahh well. I'll just get practiced up for when my other hockey friend comes over.

Kickass action game. Would love a sequel. Why?

You don't see that in Modern Warfare.

The maps in COD are also the size of closets compared to any Battlefield game.

Just Cause 2 is fairly awesome. The explosions and firepower are glorious although some tedium has set in.

[shaun]

Bought SW:TOR even though I shouldn't have and I fully expect to play it for a week before getting bored like basically every MMO post-EQ.

Jesus the steam holiday sale has begun...

:lol: The great thing about Steam putting the same games on sale over and over again is that you eventually already own them all.

Metro 2033, Just Cause 2, Portal 1&2, etc.

[Dukefrukem]

I've been good so far. Nothing bought. But I own pretty much everything on sale right now anyway. No MMOs for me.

[Morris Schæffer]

Just Cause 2 is fairly awesome. The explosions and firepower are glorious although some tedium has set in.

I now realized that it's great fun to get 100% on each base/settlement/Island.

I was reminded of Mario oddly enough. Some goodies are tucked away in devilish places and hunting that elusive 100% is really rewarding. But I have to be honest and admit that I only now realized there's a small meter in the top left corner that expands as one nears an object.

Steam sale has been pretty lame so far so GamersGate has put Deus Ex: HR on sale for $10 and it's redeemable on Steam.
