That game was TERRIBLE, especially since the bar had been set by Hit & Run.
i kinda want to get it just to see the skits and stuff.. is it funny at all or atleast interesting enough?

I only played it for a few hours but the skits seemed lame and really disjointed (the H&R story arc spoiled me for sure) and the gameplay was un-fun and tiresome. I don't think Hunter's $10 was poorly spent, but... I got it for my buddy's birthday and I was like "holy fuck that is NOT worth $50" or whatever.

Currently stalling out on Star Ocean: First Departure on the PSP, game is starting to bore me pretty badly. Was going to get the Star Ocean release for the xbox, but seriously having second thoughts, may just wait till Infamous comes out on the PS3 for my next gaming purchase.

360/PS3 needs more RPGs.

Currently playing The Godfather II. Pretty fun but I'm a sucker for third person GTA styled games.

Picked up Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Hitman: Blood Money, both were cheap. Downloading Broken Steel and hope to finish Fallout 3 sometime soon, something I didn't do with Oblivion. 50 hours is about my limit for a game.

Right now I'm playing the original silent hill for the first time ever on my psp portable. It's really awesome, especially at night with my headphones turned way up. I find the dialogue to be almost as bad as RE1, though not nearly as hilarious. I'm almost finished, and will definitely be getting part 2 next, which I have played before but never got a chance to beat.

I want to play Planescape: Torment really badly, but I had to download it illegally since I have no way to buy a copy online. The game installs, but then when I put in the burned copy of disc 2 to play the game, my computer doesn't recognize it. I'm pissed.

Main games I'm playing are:

Crossfire(free fps)
Battlefield Heroes
Timesplitters: Future Perfect

I need to get a damn PS3 so I can start playing Dead Space, and soon the UFC game.

Yeah, that was supposed to be an "MDF Fest" reference, but it was pretty stupid.

morrowind didn't hold up a year after its release, much less now. oblivion is much better but if you're not into that type of game, don't play either. they won't change your mind.

One more quest to finish Fallout 3. I dont know if I'll dive into the expansions or start playing a good character after I finish it. I couldnt find my copies of Fallout 1 and 2 so I just picked up the new Fallout collection with said 1 and 2 plus Tactics. I'll be playing those soon too.

I've been playing bit of No More Heroes on Wii. Some Undisputed 09 demo, also some Gears of War 2. I'm still rocking Fight Night 3 on the internet.

I bought this and Timesplitters 2 off Amazon dirt cheap a few months ago because they are both backwards compatable with my version of PS3. I stopped playing part 2 just because I wanted to validate the more expensive purchases I've made lately, but a real fun FPS to be sure.

I have to say the James Bond game I played last night is horrible in terms of coherent story. Luckily, I've seen both Casino Royale and QOS or I'd be utterly confused as to what is going on.

I'm getting sort of sick of video game review sites marking down games because they don't introduce something "new" and "bold" into a title. What's wrong with doing a good job with a certain genre. The horror film Hatchet for instance is great slasher fun, nothing new or anything. That's what is Bond game is, just a well done throw back to early 2K FPS, sort of.

Are you talking about the Quantum of Solace game? I played it and really enjoyed it. It's nice to play a simple FPS every now and then. My only complaint is it's to damn easy. I played on the hardest difficulty and I crushed it.

I started playing WoW again. Last time I was playing I'd just goof off and shit, but now I'm trying to level a fast as possible. I don't know why, I like dicking around at level 20 and I'm not too psyched at the prospect of being level 80 and spending 4 hours in a raid trying to get one slightly better weapon.

I really like this game, haven't check out the multi-player on LIVE yet.
I really liked the tutorial level on the demo, but when I played the other stage I got all flustered not knowing if I had to respond to all the distress calls or if I could just keep fighting enemy jets... then I smashed right into that Rio Jesus statue :oops:

i just picked up henry hatsworth and gta - chinatown wars today because i've been hearing good things about each. i haven't played more than a few minutes of hatsworth, but it seems fun. i've probably put around half an hour into gta now. it's alright i guess. seems much more like gta2 than any of the newer games which is good and bad at the same time. hopefully it will hold my attention longer than gta4 did.

I imported Demon's Souls for the PS3. It's brutally hard but the gameplay is awesome. If you like action RPGs then you should find a copy if you can.

i think it held up for at least a year. more..

i couldn't help being impressed by the scope of the games lore and geography everytime i played it. i'm easily impressed by the scale of a really enormous/ambitious game even when it's kind of bad though..

Fallout 3 (Broken Steel) - Mostly finished the main quest-line with the Citadel and hit lvl 21, haha. That's still a lot of levels to get. Plus, I got the perk that revealed everything on the map, so I'll probably go around collecting cameras and sensor modules to get Liberty Prime stomping around again and call it a day. Fun damn game, but I am pretty much a god even at lvl 21. With the stealth suit from Operation: Anchorage and maxed out Sneak and Unarmed I just go around raping people with my deathclaw hand, so it isn't much of a challenge. Once the discovery aspect is over I'll finally be done. Killer game, though...glad I put as much time into it as I did.

Gears of War 2 - I never played it, so just finally getting around to it here and there when I want to blow shit up. MUCH better than the first..which actually kind of bored me. Still, my attention span for even this one is pretty low.

??? - Pretty bored with most of my games at the moment, actually. I need something new to play that takes heavy amounts of hours. I have Mass Effect, which I haven't finished, but for some reason that game doesn't reel me in like GTA4 or Fallout 3.


Definitely gonna check out that Wolverine game, though. Demo was pretty badass. The lunge is savage!

It definitely feels rushed, with all the problems I encountered throughout the game. Paying $60 for it would have pissed me off, but for $10, I think it's worth it. It's predictably self-aware in it's humor --- not exactly hilarious, but there's a few chuckles along the way. Will Wright even makes an appearance as a supervillian... which makes me wonder why the game feels so broken at points. You'd think that EA would have given it a little more time, which makes me think that they were under some sort of contractual obligation with the movie studios so that it would hit the shelves around the same time as the movie appearing in theaters.
