I HAD all of those games. Traded most of my collection in one day a long time ago when I thought digital distribution was all the rage....until I realised it wasn't and I like having the actual media. LOL
I'm trying to pick up some old classics on PC whenever I see good deals.
Will you ever get around to playing them?
I got Prince of Persia 360 in the mail today. What's the VGPress consensus on this game?
Fringe
Vader liked it. I started it, but didn't get too far. Will get back to it again when Uncharted 2 allows it.
Very nice platforming, still the focus of the franchise. New aesthetics are gorgeous. Combat is vastly improved as well.
Shame that a lot of people seem to focus on the "YOU CANT DIE, LOLOLOL" part.
PoP was alright I guess. I loved the art style but I thought the gameplay was sort of repetitive and didn't like the collecthethon stuff.
I still think the older PoP games were better. The revamp really didn't surpass the older games. Sands of Time and Two Thrones set the bar too high and this is a good case of a re-imagining that didn't go right, which I hope the next console Zelda game doesn't follow the same pattern.
Than again, Nintendo is much better than Ubisoft!

Not dying is a good thing in my book.
That's a shame, I still haven't finished the 3rd game yet.
Actually next year I plan on mostly replaying old classics. We'll see.
The new Persia definitely doesn't match Sands of Time, but what I played is good stuff. It just didn't get the hype that the Trilogy got though did it?
How are you ever going to keep up on new releases?
I finally got around to picking up Modern Warfare 2 today and holy shit does this game ever rock hard. Played a little bit of single-player campaign and then tried a few online matches. There looks to be an absolute fuckton of things to acquire and goals to achieve in the online mode, I love that. This will certainly take over a very large portion of my gaming time for quite awhile.
What connection is there to the first game in story and characters?
Not really sure yet because I've played so very little of the campaign but it's definitely connected because they show a brief overview of the events that transpired in the first game, it's set 5 years from the first game, and "Soap" MacTavish is in the game.You had me at Rock Hard!
I saw in the gametrailers review that you play as Soap's underling.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Platform: Wii
Rating: Mature
Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Strong Language
Rating summary:
Players assume the role of Travis, an anime-watching assassin who fights his way through the ranks to become the number-one assassin. Being an assassin means using a retractable katana blade (i.e., a laser sword); it means slicing, chopping, and dismembering human enemies to death in this highly-stylized (somewhat "cartoony"), cell-shaded action game. The depictions of violence in the game are intense, yet somewhat exaggerated: men in black suits are sliced in-half as blood and money flow from their bodies; an assassin with a boombox does not recover after his lower torso has been chopped off—after blood shoots from his empty waist like a geyser; and two women (clad in bikinis) get suspended in mid-air, get caught between the flashing lights, lasers, and frenetic sword swipes of an assassins' duel—the women's heads slide across the floor once the men stop fighting. Cutscenes depict more dismemberment: assassins slicing each other into several pieces in slow-motion, enemies pulling their own heads off, characters displaying trophy-heads on silver platters. These over-the-top depictions of violence account for the Mature rating; they also account for the Intense Violence and Blood and Gore descriptors. The language is strong, too, as characters sometimes use the phrases "f**king a*shole," "f**khead," and "You gotta be sh**tin' me!"
The game contains sexual overtones and partial nudity. Players can watch portions of an anime show called Bizarre Jelly; the opening credits depict a female character whose clothes suddenly disappear, revealing her bare buttocks (one-to-two seconds). Game dialogue contains sexual references, including the phrases "dirty nympho," "the one that's throbbing," and "I feel like that pervy teacher in a porn." Female assassins are depicted in low-cut tops, thongs, short schoolgirl uniforms, and fishnet bondage-style outfits; breasts and buttocks jiggle, and the camera often lingers (there is no equivalent physics applied to male body parts). A couple of cutscenes contain strong sexual innuendo: when characters enter a store, a surprised clerk struggles with his belt buckle and zips up his pants (e.g., "I was just. Uh, doing inventory."); a woman moves a katana blade in front of a man's groin, kneels down, and kisses it (the blade), causing the retractable laser to extend. The battery meter for Travis's sword is always represented by a cartoon-like penis icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: as battery power runs out, the icon starts to shrink—a sad face appears.
I have no idea!
I'll probably have a backlog forever....
