Oh yes i just went there.
Haze looks kind of interesting but I don't know anyone who owns it. What is that game like anyway?
Haze feels 2D but Modern Warfare I can understand. And Halo. It became a lot less mainstream when the newer CoD's came.

Well, its a rather generic shooter, so if you like cod, its good for you. Unless youre one that hates it for no reason. Just try it, i think its pretty cheap now.
$5.00 AUD brand new from Harvey Norman


I liked Too Human.

Wow, joined to defend Halo Wars. Can't say I understand or agree but each to their own.

Far Cry 2
The Darkness
Dark Sector

The first two I love, the last one I think is 'meh'. The only redeeming part about Dark Sector was being able to control the blade as it flew through the air and decapited people. I played through most of the game solely using it.

Mirror's Edge (only since other people have said it I am a follower not a leader =/)Also the worst complaint I heard about it was "I can't finish it its making me sick"
Too Human (Get passed the hype and its a good game)

Mirror's Edge - Not a bad game, in my opinion. Not incredibly good, but certainly not bad.

Backbreaker - I've been seeing this game catch heat ever since the demo released, but I like it.

Bet on Soldier - Totally stupid game and I'm fully aware of it, but I love the pure cheese factor of it. "It's time for B! O! S!" As well as the absurdly bizarre boss fights, like fighting against some lunatic with a weird swedish/german/country/british/whatever(Yes, it sounds that bad. I almost wonder if it was deliberate) accent firing grenades all over the place inside of a sideways tanker ship, and so on.

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom - Horrible pointless storyline, bland, button mashing combat system, and generally not that good of a game. Although, the enemies are surprisingly varied and creative and it has some very pretty environments, it works well when I just feel like quietly relaxing... while pummeling the crap out of stuff repeatedly.

Granted, I wouldn't pay more than $10 for either game, but that's exactly what I got them for, and it was totally worth it.

Other than that. Not exactly 'hated' by any means. Although, I know a lot of people dislike it.

BloodRayne 2 - What can I say? I like the blood, and neck biting. Yeah.. that's about it. The combat system is only just barely varied enough to keep me entertained outside of the excessive bloodshed. Yay blood... Also, Rayne makes me want to cosplay someday, despite swearing never to do something so dorky. >_>

I tried the demo for that, and it was oddly amusing, plus I'm a sucker for hack n slash RPGs. >_>

So yeah, I'll probably pick it up at some point when I have the money to waste.

Just like Sylryeth I quite like Haze, mainly because you could make the army guys overdose.

Halo 3: ODST

For a while this game actually enjoyed a little bit of strong feedback from the gaming community. But then just as quickly the hate train returned and now everyone hates it.
But I still liked it, the story and characters were interesting (as was the vocal work of the Firefly guys), exploring the city at night had great ambiance and the flashback action sequences were fantastic. To be honest I enjoyed it immensly.
And this isn't even just from the view of a Halo fan (of which I am), I enjoyed it as a game in and of itself.

Dawn of War II comes to mind. I really like the RPG/RTS campaign, the multiplayer is alright too. I tried the original Dawn of War and didn't like it much (I do, however, enjoy Company of Heroes).

Try to make sense of that, because I can't. My best guess is that, lore-wise, I hate Warhammer 40,000, but Dawn of War II isn't obnoxious or gratuitous so the lore doesn't stop the fun.

Most current Sonic games. The only one's I haven't liked are Sonic Heroes (Mediocre) and Sonic 2006. (An abomination) I find the rest to be alright, with a few moments of greatness sprinkled here and there among the countless gimmicks.

I wouldn't say I loved it, but I agree that it's certainly underrated. And I would MUCH rather play that then Heroes.
