Wojo 2,453 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I never got into Donkey Kong Country. Now Donkey Kong on the original GameBoy is what I would consider the greatest side-scroller of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Completed Syndicate. A really decent sci-fi shooter along the lines of Blade Runner and Perfect Dark, I enjoyed it. The co-op campaign is particularly worthwhile - think Left 4 Dead with soldiers instead of zombies. Great style and some of the best shooting and movement feedback this side of Mirrors Edge; it's a terrible shame the game bombed badly. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Koray's views on the health and state of not only the fps genre, but video games in general should be neither trusted nor taken seriously - since he's already shown himself to be compromised:I think I'm losing interest in games in general. This past holiday season, I bought so many I just kinda gave up trying to play them all equally. Wasted money on Twisted Metal and SSX and barely played those. Problem is I keep buying them but never play them. Max Payne 3 and Game Of Thrones are coming out soon, I normally would want to check those out. Then there's Sorcery at the end of the month, which looks like a worthy PS Move game.I honestly might turn into a Call Of Duty gamer. Just buy that crap every year.Couple that damning post with his frequent proclamations that's he's "done" ( - a direct quote, need I link?) with the Call of Duty franchise and suddenly the accusations of hypocrisy he's bandying around of late become very curious indeed.I don't recall ever claiming I was "done" with COD, especially on numerous occasions. Trent, on the other hand...I think I said once that I was getting tired of it and would focus on all the other stuff I had bought, but I don't know. I guess a link is required.

Trent Hoyt 13 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'm finally getting into Arkham City. My friend buys new games when they come out and I just borrow them from him when he is done. It's the best Batman game ever made, hopefully they make another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Possibly the best game I've played this year. I'd have to think. Either way, it's very nearly as good as Arkham Asylum. Definitely more ambitious in scope than the original, but I'd have preferred it if they'd concentrated on one or two main villains instead of the whole host of name checks we got.

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Perhaps they knew that since it would be Hamill's last outing as the Joker, they wanted to go all-out with the story's scope in case this were to be the final game in the series.One of these days I plan to resolve my hangup with getting Games For Windows to work so that I can play it properly with the gamepad. I just haven't made the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Why is it Hamill's last outing as The Joker?Unfortunately, even without playing the game, I know story-wise why it's the last. However there is a "back door."Hamill again reprised his role of The Joker in the Asylum's sequel, Batman: Arkham City, as well as the computer and Playstation 3 MMORPG DC Universe Online.[9] In May 2010, Hamill declared to IGN UK that his role in Arkham City would be his last as the Joker.[8] On October 19th 2011, shortly after the release of the game, he confirmed this on his Twitter account, saying "Hello/Goodbye Joker! I've enjoyed every minute behind the wheel of the Clown Prince’s crazy car — I'm going to miss him more than I can say!!".[10][11] However, he has expressed an interest in reclaiming the role were an adaptation of Batman: The Killing Joke ever made. He encouraged fans to campaign for said adaptation, in a tweet made on October 24th 2011.[12] Since then, a Facebook page titled "Petition to get Mark Hamill to play the Joker in animated Killing Joke"[13] has been set up by his fans.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 What Quint said. The games are great yet annoyingly repetitive. The story should have ended 2 games ago. Apparently this is the last one though, but I thought that was the case with Revelations, so who knows. The cliffhanger endings are stupid.I'll get III like I got all the others, a month later for 50% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Finishing up the last optional quests of Tales of Graces F, 138 hours of game time. I would say this is a prototypical JRPG with pretty much all the conventions built into it. I would recommend it to someone wanting to try out the genre and awesome combat mechanics that brings something new to master until the endLast night I fought the most powerful optional boss . My first attempt ended with my party being wiped out in one spell after a 45 min fight. I found out if you use a health potion when the boss has less than 5% health he does that every time. I beat him on my second attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Not sure if I ever posted this or not. This particular video is a well done mockumentary for Battlefield 2. A group that obviously did a LAN party in order to do this as well as they did. The voices for all the characters are done by one person. This is not work safe as it's got a lot of swearing in it. There's a couple of parts that may be offensive to some of you. It's just over 13 minutes but it's worth the laugh.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5733044300866646599 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
