I've noticed numerous times now that everyone on your friendslist is always playing NHL 08 except that one guy who's playing CoD4.

Haha, i'm not touching that crap.

 

Let us know if it's better than The Darkness!

 

The Darkness rocks.

 

Too Human. It's an awkward combination of addictive and terrible. I played 4 hours and I have no justification or reason for that.

 

Maybe the "terrible" is harsh. There is lots of room for improvement. But I'm not the target audience of action-RPGs/hack&slash games, either. Have never liked them.

Can you justify its dual analogue controls?

Justify? I ****ing RAGE at them. The second stick in this game is the worst control I've ever handled. Melee combat is atrocious. You move the stick and it swings. How it swings and where it swings you're not going to know.

 

I just played another hour of it and if the game wasn't so lenient with death (some equipment damage is only it) I would have a broken controller. There's basically 4 enemies, maybe 5. With varying attributes. A couple in particular are all but immune to ranged damage and explode when they die. Yes, that's right, the game is designed to make you explode painful fiery deaths just for doing things right. That's just the tip of the iceberg, though.

So rage, bad controls, awful camera, poor dev choises and yet...additct mode?

 

I'm one of those weird people who was genuinely interested in this game, both in gameplay and themes and really hoped it would turn out godly, so anything at this point is a disappointment, but I

As much as I'm sure that would be an infuriating experience when playing, I could help but burst out laughing when I read that.

NHL 09 demo is out tommorow around 4 PM eastern time, woo hoo!

Darkness does rock, actually, come to think of it, that's on my pile of shame as well! I got a good deal into it but I never finished it. Quite odd actually, considering I beat Riddick twice, but I think other things just came up for me at the end of last summer.

Bok, Kor - ready to pr4wn some n00bs?

Maybe later

seriously doubt it, last year you could play a single player game and only choose one of two teams (Ducks and Sens).

lol triple post, i know but holy crap the Force Unleashed demo is awesome.

I was impressed by it. I might buy the game. You know what I wish the XBox 360 had. Steam.

Yeah, Force Unleashed was pretty cool.

It's taking forever to download:(

Just went 28-3-8 on Showdown with my faithful silenced MP5 (+ m9 sidearm) with the UAV jammer and martyrdom.

So you're basically a ninja?

Which is why I'm a mammal and kill people ALL the time.

If anyone has Shadowrun for the 360, or PC for that matter, I might get it as the "Gold Games for Windows" is now free - although I'll have to look into the DRM issues I've heard about before doing that.

Doesn't it suck?

I've heard Shadowrun was pretty much garbage.

 

I won't buy it just because it might taint my fond memories of the PnP and SNES games.

We have standards. Shadowrun sucks. Go play it on the PC.

It's taking forever to download:(

ZOMG - forget that!

 

Bionic Commando is teh awesome!1

 

Download that for 2 player co-op!
