I agree with the Far Cry 2 thing. I played it about 3 hours and then traded it in. Awful game. I also did not care for Black Ops, really at all, despite having enjoyed MW and MW2. I just cannot be bothered to finish it. I am very suprised to hear the Borderlands mentions. I have...

Sorry, ccesarano, but I think you are way off base on this one. I think there were more than a few people, such as myself, that had never played a Final Fantasy game before and were not even remotely interested in JRPGs that the KH series grabbed. For me, the whole concept of blending Disney...

Great point about Jak 2 and 3. Those games are the two best examples of this that came to my mind. Those were two very underrated games as well.

Demon's Souls. What a frustrating, overhyped mess of a game.

Agreed. Probably the most fun I have ever had gaming.

Well written review. I actually couldn't disagree more with the conclusion though. I thought the Dan Brown-ish plot was well-contrived and compelling. The developer created a wholly enveloping world. I was excited to learn how it was going to conclude, and the conclusion itself had just...

I find the comments above regarding pacing to be a little aberrant insomuch as I think the general consensus is that Bioshock 1's pacing was fantastic. Without spoiling anything, I will say that I feel that B1 is a good example of a game where the pacing is right on cue - the story develops for...

I really love BTAS. Not to threadjack, but I have recently discovered The Batman and it is almost as good, once you get into it. It is so different from BTAS that it took me a few episdoes to get into it. But it is almost as good as BTAS. I am getting BTAS the complete set soon - can't wait!

You must be better at Guitar Hero than I am. If I did that, I'd be through the bottle by the end of 1 song!

I guess my main haggle with it is that the game is supposed to be centered around the story, and when they throw a ridiculously complicated plot line at you - such as the one in Indigo Prophecy - at least let me just watch and try to absorb some of the more twisted plot points. I didn't have a...

I was particularly annoyed in Indigo Prophecy by the basketball sequence. Even on the normal difficulty setting, this is ridiculously hard. The primary problem is that it is extremely difficult to watch what is going on in the animated sequences and at the same time comply with the 45-buttom...

As you can tell from my avatar, I'm an R&C nut - dare I say fan boy - so you can't trust anything I say. ;) I did think that Deadlocked/Gladiator was extremely entertaining in its own way. For example, it was by far the most humorous of the R&C games. "What do you think about that...

I didn't play HL1 prior to buying the Orange Box for 360. I have to admit, the first few levels of the game are a little off-putting on the first play through. Navigation is confusing, there is very little direction as to what you are supposed to be doing, and the weapons suck. Add in the...

Funny, I thought SOTN was pretty much a rip-off of the Metroid series. Not a cheap rip-off, mind you. It is definitely a well-done game. It just reminded me an awful lot of Metroid, particularly Super Metroid. It may actually be a better game than Super Metroid, I am not sure. But it plays...

I almost cried during the part about eating a man, taking his appearance, running up a 200 story building, and then doing an atomic elbow drop on his bewildered widow. Killing me...
