But it's a thread that can be done over and over as they keep making games that fit what the question is asking. All this "thread has been done" business kind of irks me. If we really followed that "rule", there would be very little discussion on these boards. Besides, the search button doesn't work worth beans anyway. If you don't like a question, just pass it by. No need to slam it with a post.Simalacrum said:
Anyway, back to the subject. I really liked Warhammer: Mark of Chaos even though most gaming sites gave it a pretty low score. Even more often though, I find myself with the opposite situation where a game gets high scores and I can't stand it myself. Games like WWE Legends of WrestleMania for example, got high review scores, but when I tried it, I thought it was terrible. I wouldn't give it more than 3 out of 10 myself.
i wasn't aware that star wars episode 1 pod racer had crap reviews. i played it on N64 but i fucking love that game, it's something that i can still go back to now and find awesome. there's just something about the ridiculous speed and stuff that i think is ace!Piotr621 said:
The NARC remake.
I enjoyed it until I got to the IMPOSSIBLE last level, and all the review sites game it shit.
Although, it wasn't a good game by any stretch when I look back.

Force Unleashed and Last Remnant. I really didn't mind FU and was entertained by it even if it was a simple hack'n'slash by my standards. LR got so much shit for tech issues that were fixed in the PC version and mostly negligible on Xbox if you installed it, the only site that gave it a fair review was game trailers which focused more on the GAME and not just bitched for 5 minutes about frame rate and texture issues. Yea those things bog down the experience but those aspects should only take up a fraction of the review, not be an entirely deciding factor.
The Penny Arcade Adventures, personally I can't get enough of it even though I'm not a fan of the comic itself. Its just one of those games that's so out there and demented that I can't help but play.
Then again I am quite drawn to games off the general radar of pop video game culture.

The Force Unleashed, Red Steel, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, Sonic Adventure 2...hmm...i'm sure there are many more that slip my mind at this point.
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
I even liked the rock soundtrack. And no I don't wear black nail polish and eyeliner (except for my weekend job down the docks)
Hated the new one though. Piece of shit.

Dead space did very well critically, I saw it get a few tens in magazines and stuff.Jennacide said:
Deservedly so, there wasn't one minute of it i didn't enjoy ( apart from those damn meteors but everyone hates broken bits...)
PLus I don't care what anyone said it was scary to me. Made me almost jump out of my damn seat at one particular point... involving an elevator and the scream of a woman...
Kung Fu Chaos.
Seriously, it's a fighting game about making bad kung-fu action flicks. Sure, the balance is a slight bit off (looking at YOU, Xui Tansour), but the gameplay is constant fun.
