Well I am a die hardcore Seven Kingdoms fan. I never got the hang out of 2. I dunno why, it actually should be good, but I could never play it for long

/e music in one is superior though

Throwing people is also fun. Beggars, lepers, preachers... The most fun is with guards. Off roofs.

:rofl: damn, now i want to replay this game again!
Another cool thing were the templars. I ran towards the poor things and attacked them like a dog whenever i saw one! :mrgreen:
Templar hunt!
 
Call of Duty 4 finished in under 5 hours, WTF?! If I knew SP campaign was so short I wouldn't have bothered... (can't play MP, never bothered to get internet at home)
 
Yeah, it sucks.
I got 4 hours myself.
I seriously felt ripped off. 30 euros for this piece of crap ?
And still reviewers praised it. When did the lenght of a game become unimportant ? And CoD games have pretty much nil replay value.
Great multiplayer is no excuse. Not everyone play multiplayer, or even like to play multiplayer. Assuming the MP is any good. :evil:

COD 4 was one of those games that i never got tired of the SP campaign. don't ask why, it was just one of kind.
 
I personally felt that the SP was way too arcarde. The weapons have barely any sort of recoil and the amount of enemies you shoot is just a bad joke..
MP is playable if you play it right and ignore the community
 
well not really, they started with it in cod 2, but cod 1 feeling was quiet nice and non arcarde. hell, who didn't play cod 1 because of the nice feeling of the weapons? shooting some dude with a carabine was just awesome. but in cod 4 you can shoot easily full auto with a saw while standing. its just awful. and mp is basically a "who spams and hops the most" game. really a shame because if they would just remove the jumping/grenades and increase the recoil of all guns this game would have been a great tacticshooter. but actual aiming is nothing for the casual console gamer.
 
Finished Saints Row 2 and i can easily recommend it to anybody. Really loved the Gameplay, Customization, Activities and etc.
Driving mechanics and graphics could have been better though.

Playing Resistace: Fall Of Man right now.
I like it, the shooting is kinda fast paced and the visuals are great.
 
Shadow Man, N64 game hurriedly ported to PC in 99, I think. Just picked up a copy and hadn't played it in ten years. Third-person action shooter with some jumping and climbing stuff. But, voodoo setting. Fun main character voice. Giant polygons. Great sound effects. Nostalgia. Tons of allusions to literature way above the head of the cheesy writing. Atmospheric above all. I'm having fun.

i played the beginning parts once(when it was released back in 1999). the atmosphere was definitly one of a kind. gotta play that sometime, i heard that the game is quite long.
 
I still remember having to hunt down those crazy murderer guys, but one of them sticks out in particular.

Of course I'm talking about the Lizard King, mostly because his background music repeatedly loops the phrase "I am the Lizard King!" over and over.
 
I'm remembering that I never did in fact beat Shadowman, and I'm supposing now that I won't this time around either.

1) I suck at games that depend on my own dexterity and reflexes.

2) The controls kinda suck. Not sure if this is due to the port. Probably.

But, until it gets too hard for clumsy me to continue, I'm enjoying it. The game is hu-u-ge. I am so lost most of the time.

Rented Resident Evil 5. I originally had it pre-ordered, but after playing the demo and reading a couple reviews, I rethought it and put the money towards buying a Wii instead.

After I return Resident Evil 5, I'll start playing the used copy of Okami for the Wii I picked up. Okami seems to be almost universally loved, and I'm a huge fan of the Japanese art-style it uses.

After that, I'll probably pick up Resident Evil 4 for the Wii. So far, I'm pretty sure I still like RE4 better than RE5, and the Wii remote + nunchuck controls work incredibly well for it.

Then, definitely thinking about picking up the Gamecube version of Skies of Arcadia. Beat that game a few times on Dreamcast, and once again before on the Gamecube, but damned if I don't miss it and want to play through it again.
 
Doomablo. It's like Diablo, but, y'know... With DOOM. Okay, okay, it's called "DOOM: Fall of Mars," but that just doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely. Doomablo. Doomablo. Doomabloooo.




Doomablo.
 
Condemned 2: Bloodshot. the graphics are neat, i have play a little bit more to see if the story gets any interesting. so far it has been....okay.
 
If you haven't played Condemned: Criminal Origins, you're really denying yourself a better story and vastly superior atmosphere.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Bloodshot it just fell apart in so many ways.

I won't give into spoilers tho'.
 
I used to own condemned criminal origins a whileee back. It didn't appear to be that long of a game(I actually beat it in a single sitting) although the storyline was interesting.
