i'm considering switching my pre-pay from NHL 10 (which is totally paid off) to fight night round 4. i always liked the fight night series but i was never a wigger about it.

it looks really, really damn good though.

any takers here? reeelapse leauge?

When does it come out?

It looks fucking awesome. I should have passed up UFC for this I thinks...

Spore

How long have you been playing?

I just got it the other day so I've only got a little tribe going at the moment. I just love how all the user-content get's spilled out into the universe. So far I've seen these little miniature Homer Simpsons running around that crack me up every time I see them. Easily funnier than anything the actual Simpsons have made in a decade.

I make sure to eat that race when I see them just to see them run away.

I just finished Dead Space, yeah a little behind everyone else but goddamn that was awesome. The feeling of being so alone was like similar to the feeling I had when playing Metroid Prime. The whole atmosphere was done really well. And probably the best sound in a game ever! I wish it had more enemy types. Now it's time to tackle Impossible mode.

I hate it when games make you unlock the hardest difficulty.

how else are they supposed to inflate the play time to completion for the reviewers?

Multiple sets of collectables to find.

I finished Dead Space in about 12 hours. Thats a good length for an action horror game. It doesnt need any padding.

I was killing some time and decided to check out all the crap I drunkenlydownloaded off XBOX Live, since I didn't want to start a real game and then be forced to quit without a check point. Played the tutorial for Indigo Prophecy, that was interesting. But when the fuck did I ever download Max Payne 1 & 2?

UFC 2009 Undisputed is ruling my life right now. 2 fights in the career mode with Forrest Griffin, 2 submissions by him in the first round. Fuck my ground game sucks.

definitely play through indigo prophecy. one of my favorite games of last generation. i didn't love it at first but it grew on me. it gets pretty dumb near the end but it's a totally unique game.

[Pooeyegg]

I just bought Killing Floor yesterday and it's pretty fun. Alot like left4dead meets cstrike source. The graphics look like Red Orchestra (Unreal 2 engine), it's really addicting so far.

Need to finish that sometime. Can't remember why I stopped playing it... New one from the same studio looks bananas.

[guardianoftheblind]

Haha, I know. Just never picked it up, as I mentioned in my spoiler. Always end up buying something else or forgetting about it. Will remedy the situation come next pay day.

[Goatus]

Those Heavy Rain clips look pretty awesome too. It's too bad it's a ps3 exclusive though. I won't even think about getting a ps3 until the price drops.

I have Rampage for the title in my next fight at 205. I don't feel my guy is ready yet given how easy those arseholes get me into a clinch. I will eventually work out the timing.

[riley-o]

i'm having a lot of troubles with wrestlers and their takedowns, particularly specialty single legs, but getting up from guard is criminally easy and the stand-up part of the game is really just keeping good distance, coming in for combos then escaping, keeping your hands up and mixing up your strikes

i hope the next game has head movement and parrying, and the countering with takedowns works a bit better or more intuitively

I agree - Rashad seemed to take me down super easy, but I put that down to weak takedown defence - But I agree, kicking the COM controlled player off is way easy. There is more subtelty and depth in a two player match if you don't time their punch attacks.

I also agree with the lack of the "bob and weave" factor hurts the game, unless you want to exactly recreate Andre Gusmao's strike defence from real life the other night...

[Wang Mandu]

What difficulty are you guys playing UFC on? I suck at the ground game but am slowly getting the hang of it. I took a light heavy weight to #4 on Advanced and Rashad Evans keep knocking me the fuck out, ground and pound. I'd stuff his takedowns for awhile and then he get one through and I was done. I suck.

[Songs of Love and Hate]

HOLY SHIT.
