Okay. It's not as bad as I remember. First off, this is the first time I've played it on a large HD screen, and it looks quite good. My character has no body other than his arms, but that is par for the course.
The weapons are not as weak as I remember them. One niggling aspect that I hated at the time and is still the same though is the level "design" in this first level there are so many ways to get in and out of a room I am finding myself walking around in circles. A level map would help. But hey, it's not as awful as I remember it, but still nothing blows me away other than the graphics. I'll keep playing.
Sounds like it WAS a total bust.
This is Vader
Holy shit at that list. When did reviews start sucking? I say when Kasavin left gamespot, what year was that?
Hell yeah! Aspro! Sing it proud.
There is a map, but yeah nothing that blows you away other than the graphics/setting.
I find it a decent game like Dead Space but nothing like the super best game ever deserving of a position in the best games of the decade list. In fact I would cut out half the crap on that metacritic list. Especially the sports games.
Nice to see Chinatown wars pick up GT DS game of the year.
Hmm, stiff competition from Zelda and mario and luigi 3.
This Christmas card pleases me. Still, shame they had to use the Sunshine Islands characters, but I shall overlook that in the spirit of the holiday season.
Yeah I never read any of Rand's works nor do I really know what they were about. I never was much of a reader. Also being pretty much a steadfast metal head I really loved Bioshock. I found it to be an incredibly fascinating game.We finally have Japan numbers

Wow at NSMBWii numbers it actually increased in sales with respect to the previous week. This game will have the same legs as its predecessor. Which is number 16 on the list.
PS3 did very well thanks to FFXIII and PS3 + FFXIII bundle. Wii was very close and will probably win 2009 all thanks to a certain plumber. And lets not forget the DS. It is already the most sold game console of all time and it keeps on selling. It will outsell the PS2 worldwide very soon.
I forgot some of you guys live in the future.
More pics of Christmas 09 in City Folk, including a sneak peak at SteelAttacks and his daughters living room. As well as improved snowmanbuilding skills.

Don't forget tonight, Jingle appears to deliver gifts. Hunt him down in different outfits to grab special one night only Jingle furniture.
Did anyone watch this?
Wii Zangeki no REGINLEIV short Trailer
What are your thoughts? It's a motionplus sword slasher where you chop appendages off huge creatures. 1up says its on rails, but that's the first and only time I have heard that. Hope they are wrong.
A proper game like that with motionplus would be damned cool. Visuals look nice too.
It reminds me of this game:
I that was done with natal it would be sweet.
Does anyone know if I can get the retail discs of Fallout 3 added content and if they require a hard drive to play? I saw the discs online.
I wanted to get the extra oblivion stuff but its hard drive required.
I dont really want to have to buy more fallout 3 but the main game seems short compared to Oblivion so I've thinking about it.
I still can't pronounce the name so I'm not going to bother researching anything on the game.
I'm thinking of getting MW2 and Halo ODST. Someone shout out a good price for me. PAL guys.
Also what's the best ODST review to read. Nothing too gushing, nothing too harsh.
If you can pronounce Zangief, the word NO and Regis, it should be no problem.
You sure about that? Both SP campaigns are short, they offer next to no replay value, and they are both games that revolve around their multiplayer elements, which you won't get to experience anyway.
Edit: From what I've read anyway. Ask Archie, he has played both games, maybe he has more insight on the duration of the SP affair.
Edit 2: And they're still EXPENSIVE. MW2 is still 60 everywhere.
Hobo time confimed then. Thanks.
I want to play MW2 but I know it wont drop in price, ever, so I might as well get it at some point. After playing Hobo graphics COD on Wii through 2 games I feel like I might as well experience uber graphics COD eventually.
Yeah I'm not to sure how much you'll get out of them if you don't play the multiplayer portions. Both single-player campaigns are excellent though and are about 6 to 8 hours. MW2's is a non-stop thrill ride while ODST's is a very interesting experience in playing as different group members portions with some nice storytelling via recordings you find. The mp portion of ODST can be played 2 player offline and is a blast if you dig fighting wave after wave of ever increasing foes but I don't care for splitscreen myself because I dislike sharing screen space. MW2 also has Special Ops which is a variety of missions that can be played by one or 2 players offline and it supposedly is very good and adds a lot to the game but I have yet to play it myself so I can't really comment on it.I guess it really depends on price. Also ODST comes with an mp Halo 3 disc that gives you all the maps and the ability to play the complete Halo 3 mp experience without the original Halo 3 disk but it'll be pretty much useless if you don't play mp although I think you can also play it with friends offline. As for what reviews to read I'm not really sure. The best bet I think is just read a couple from the well known sites such as 1up, IGN, Gametrailers, and *gasp* Gamespot they should all be pretty accurate.
