I agree, and I have a PS3, I just wanted to know if it came out on the Xbox 360 so that I could laugh at their puny faces, knowing that they had missed one of the best street-racing games on new-gen consoles. Alas, it did come out on the (Se)Xbox 360. *Sigh*.
You should've probably picked one of the 100 % sons on on expert on Guitar Hero 3 than Guitar Hero 2. I'd say getting 98 % on Through The Fire And Flames is slightly (read: a lot) more challenging than getting 99% on Free Bird.
Why does almost all games have to be released at Christmas? The developers should've realized by now that the more games released at one time, the less the chance of someone buying their game, unless it stabs, shoots, rocketlaunches and owns every other game into such a submission that they will never get up again and fails to even be a footnote in the history of gaming. If a game like that is ever released, I'm going to buy it. But where was I? Oh, yes, launching all games at Christmas is a bad idea. Why can't they plan together to release their games all around year? If a truly awesome game appears every three-to-four weeks all year long, gamers will be in heaven, and the developers will rake in so much cash that they can afford to send all their employees to a four month long holiday in Bahamas.
I'm so going to get this. I feel that GH is superior to Rock Band for only two reasons: Rock Band (and the two first Gh's) use cover songs. I've heard the cover song of "Run to the hills", and it sounds nothing like the original, which isn't necessarily a big problem, but the fact that the singer's voice breaks at the more sceamy parts of the song, which Bruce Dickinson handles perfectly, totally ruins the whole song. This isn't the only song that suffers from it, but the interface in Rock Band feels like deciphering hieroglyphs. The diamond shaped notes are just too big, and when you gain Overdrive it isn't as obvious as in GH. Also a thing that gives Gh the upper hand is the song recording. It's the one thing I've felt that GH and Rock Band has always lacked. It'll be interesting to see if Rock Band says "me too".
Yes, COD 4 is that good. I'm happy to see all my favorites here, which proves that I've mangaged to convert the whole world of gaming to my taste (I'm being self-ironic). Are these awards anually?
So, System Shock 2 isn't scary? Neither is Bioshock? Not even Silent hill (1-3) that force you to play as a helpless protagonist? What about Ravenholm in Half-Life 2? Hell, even Oblivion has a lot of scary moments when you walk through dungeons. I agree with most of the points on this list, but they only correspond to bad horror games. The only things that are scary in movies are the moments that make you jump, and Nightmare on Elm Street isn't as much scary as ridicoulusly over-the-top gory. But yes, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrik have produced some seriously scary movies, but I don't feel that you care more about the persons in a movie than in a game. Overall, games can be just as terrifying as movies. Nuff' said.
When Kirby looks that bad after a holiday in Chernobyl, wonder what he hell Yoshi would look like. Also, I'm officially going to sleep with a crowbar under my pillow. I prefer being attacked by Pyramid Head than Chernobyl Kirby, at least Pyramid Head has a funky dance. Also, to GR, a reply system like Youtube's would be brilliant
In this discussion, I'm blessed with ignorance, as I've played neither franchises, partially because I haven't gotten around to buy them yet, partially because school always comes first, but mostly because xbox sucks ten kinds of ass. Port them over to PS3 and we'll talk. But whoever wins this catfight, Gordon Freeman's gonna smash their heads in with a crowbar. Now THAT'S badass.
I'm so geoing to buy an Xbox 360, even though I have a ps3. Damn exclusivity. Couldn't just all game makers use the ps3 and let the other consoles go down the rain. Life would be so much easier. But alas. Still, only 300 bucks for an Xbox 360 where I live. Whooohooo! Oh, an by the way, this game looks gorgeus, and if it's better than the first one, I can't wait. Must. Buy.
I really, really hope that this game is good. Haven't actually played it yet, but I sure as hell will, and then we'll see if this game is as crap as GR wants it to be (the scores are rather weird here: 7 is mediocrity when 5 should be). Besides, you've kept me from buying excellent games before (*cough* FF XII *cough*). Nonetheless, this game looks fantastic (graphics wise), and I can't wait to see what lurks beneath Sheppards tough exterior.
