Dead Space

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 13:06:57 GMT

this looks dam SCARY. I haven't gotten a chance to play it, but i'll pick up the PC version later on. srsly, it looks disturbingly creepy. I've heard some rlly good things about it - not absolutely amazing, but still one of the greatest Survival Horror games since the original Resident Evil (which is one of my favorites).

The Zero-g looks sweet

Fable 2...epic win?

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 13:05:29 GMT

looks decent, but i still think it'll have a small degree of fail in it. Thoughts?

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (360, PS3, PS2, PC)

Pvt Makelroy — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:01:29 GMT

Haven't heard so much about this one, except that it will be third-person, u can play for any of the three sides, there will be coop, and that a lot of things will blow up (oh, and there will be airstrikes and decently destructible environments)

However, for the PS2 version u might wanna expect that a lot of features will be cut, considering its last-gen. LIke how the wii version of Rock Band had premade characters and animations, it'll probably suck as compared to the newer-gen versions. ...

Lost Mission in COD4

Pvt Makelroy — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:09:13 GMT

not rlly. It's like a side mission that was hidden from the general populace.

check out this vid:

this is a link

it's in the training mission, so unfortunately no baddies to shoot. But still, it was HIDDEN.

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine (360, PC, PS3....i think)

Pvt Makelroy — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 22:51:37 GMT

A crazy-awsum looking 40k game (if it looks like he was controlling the game badly, that's more or less becuz he's walking u through everything, not becuz the mechanics sux, like a few other ppl on the interwebz thought it did)

this is a LINK

graphics look amazing, gameplay looks great, the bolter just feels like a REAL GUN, as it should, and finally, a true single/third person game set in the 40k universe. FINALLY. Well, fire warrior sort of counted. But it didn't look nearly as ...

The House of the Dead: Overkill (wii)

Pvt Makelroy — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:11:48 GMT

I loved the old house of the dead games, and seeing a new (and this time PROMISING) entry into the series by someone other than sega is more than welcome.

It's pretty much the same formula as the others (on-rails, bloody shooting, but dun worry all blood and shit can be turned off) but with more outdoor environments, u can have more than 1 weapon, and it's gonna have a sort of campy 60s Grindhouse feel, which I absolutely love. It takes u back to the beginning of the House of the Dead storyline, ...

New Halo/Marathon?

Pvt Makelroy — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:42:57 GMT

At E3, Microsoft pulled their latest bungie project from the show, becuase they wanted to make room for other announcements. Such as avatars. WHAT THE FUCK HALO IS SO MUCH BIGGER

I don't rlly like Halo unless you're talking about the online (only the first one for the PC is rlly good single-player wise) and I'd only buy 3 if they ported it to XP (vista isn't worth the upgrade, at least until they stop making games for XP). But still, just becuz I don't like the game doesn't mean it's ...

The Conduit (wii)

Pvt Makelroy — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 02:51:35 GMT

this is a shooter.

Okay, let me say that again - after the horrific failure of both COD3 and Red Steel (both of which i had the horror of playing) they (dunno the developer - they're indie I think) are actually trying to make another shooter for the wii.

Suppress the urge to exit this thread at the first sign of the words shooter and wii in the same sentence! This actually looks good!

Not only does the gameplay look rlly promising, but it looks absolutely gorgeous....for the wii ...

Left 4 dead

TheSnowman — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 03:17:01 GMT

I came across this a year or 2 ago in its earliest production phases. It is a 4 player zombie Co-oP game for X-box 360 and PC. Check out the video:

Aliens: Colonial Marines (PS3, 360, PC)

Pvt Makelroy — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 04:04:02 GMT

Not to be confused with the 2 generations ago title of the same name. This has nothing to do with the movies other than the aliens and the setting (I think its on the Sulaco)

Aliens is one of my favorite movies evar. Srsly, it is the best disaster movie ever.

Not a lot of time now, but it'll have 4 plyr co-op and YOU are being hunted, not vice versa. You will not have so many times and places to switch guns, since it's going for the realistic aspect of how soldiers don't rlly switch ...

Batman Arkham Assylum (360, PS3, PC)

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:49:18 GMT

looks pretty solid from the previews I saw. This is NOT a stealth game, BTW. Not in the least. It much more resembles 'Predator' than it does Splinter Cell. Your objective is to kill the bad guys (notice I said kill - batman has a little more power over his enemies now that he'll be getting at least a T-Rating) and get the hostages, not sneak past cameras and avoid detection.

One of the big elements of gameplay is fear. If u KO or kill (it seemed like u had enough of a variety of ...

Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway (PS3, 360, PC)

Pvt Makelroy — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:13:06 GMT

The last installments in the series, besides the DS version, rivalled Call of Duty as the greatest WWII shooter ever. sort of. But ennyw3yz, there will be fully destructible environments, and graphics that are different but just as revolutionary as how photo-realistic Crysis was. (oh, and Warhead will include new lighting features to make shit look MORE realistic with no framerate hit. Crazy huh?)

The core tactics of Brothers in Arms are still there, as are the evident "brotherhood ...

Rock Band 2 vs. Guitar Hero 4

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:39:17 GMT

Guitar Hero 4 will have full band support (better drums w00+!!!) when it releases, and a character creator.

It's really giving Rock Band 2 a run for it's money.

My main point here is, although Rock Band 2 is basically just the same thing (and therefore should sell just as well in theory) it won't have a song creator/editor, which has been confirmed. It will also have a shorter (and therefore probably worse) song list.

I predict the RB franchise will die young.

The Great Console Debate

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:16:27 GMT

What's your favorite console (PCs, which aren't consoles, don't count)?

Mine has to be the PS3. Now, shame on me for not actually having played one and yet proclaiming it better than the 360, which I have played, but still, it's got a much better range of games...not larger, but about 50% of them are at least GOOD games, and I'd say half of those are GREAT or AMAZING. And, the PS3 gets MGS4. HA! Oh, and the graphics are pretty much the best. And, it's getting "Home" soon enough, ...

New Prince of Persia

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:10:30 GMT

The cell shading looks pretty cool and wut I hear of how the enemies will repeatedly return, and that there will be fewer enemies so that they can get more awsum fights in instead of fighting ten thousand faceless goonz. The movement mechanics looks really good, just very flowing. Pretty cool overall. Should be coming relatively soon. I'm not overly excited for this one (I prefer the original retro title - I luv retro games) but it looks really good nonetheless.

Little Big Planet (PS3)

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:02:46 GMT

A cute little platforming game where u make ur own levels and share them over PSN. It looks to appeal to younger gamers, and definitely is targeted almost entirely at casual gamers, although the choice to make a casual game for the PS3 was sort of an odd one...that console is relatively the most hardcore of the 3.

The graphics look appropriately cute, as do the character customization options, ...

Wii Motion Plus

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:50:22 GMT

Just a little thing that plugs into the back of a wiimote to make it a "wii motion plus" or something like that that makes it sense motion better. Seems like just a cheep way to make munnies, and the problem is I didn't quite see the ability to plug in a nunchuck 2. So, Nintendo has gone super-casual. Woooooooow. no surprise there. Their E3 Press Conference was rlly boring and pretty bad becuz there were no games for Kid Icarus or Zelda or Mario and the like, and now (even tho ...

God of War 3

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:43:16 GMT

If the name didn't make u go into spasms of sheer awsumness, then u are not right in the head!!!

It may be a button masher (and I may know nothing about this amazing sequel even tho I played both of the others) but still, just everything comes into play so beautifully it's hard to beat. killing the greek gods and messing up history is one of the greatest pasttimes I'll ever have.

Thoughts?

Rayman Raving Rabbidz TV Party (wii)

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:41:30 GMT

The third in the hilarious and entertaining franchise of lovable evil bunnies attempting to overtake the world. This time, however, it uses the Wii Balance Board in almost all of the minigames.

[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2179/2531605617_131f40bbb0.jpg?v=0[/img]

It seems to keep the same slapstick and idiotic humor of the originals, so it looks really solid.

Dead Rising Chop Till U Drop (Wii)

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:38:28 GMT

basically a wii POrt of Dead Rising. It will use the same reticle that Resident evil 4 did, and becuz of the ease of aiming like that, I think this will definitely be a winner. From what I hear and see it looks pretty much the same as the original, so no new surprises there. And the great motion sensing controls should only make lawnmowing zombies even more fun than ever b4.

the graphics are looking a little sketchy, but then again the wii has never had that as a strong point, so I'm ...

Gears of War 2 (360)

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:34:27 GMT

I wasn't entirely sold on the first one. I got it for the PC, but I felt jipped, even though they included the Brumak fight in it. The framerate had some issues and overall the PC version didn't really feel as good as the 360 counterpart. It was still an AMAZINGLY CINEMATIC experience and I'd give the PC version an 8/10, so it was still really worth it, but my point is i wouldn't care if they made 2 for the PC or not becuz I have a feeling they won't have those cinematic sequences where u ...

Alone in the Dark

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:23:22 GMT

believe me, this is only going to appeal to true horror fans. I'm not quite one of them. Although this isn't horrifically scary, it's just.....not good in some ways. the controls are O.K., but sometimes, the graphics are just outta wack, and other times, they're great. The inventory system is really cool, but ur not getting so much replay value on this. There are a few bugs, little to no polish on this game, and the voice-overs aren't bad....but the dialogue really is. I'd give this....possibly.....

6/10.

Resistance 2

Pvt Makelroy — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:16:53 GMT

With the E3 coverage that I saw, they spotlighted Resistance 2 at the big Sony Press Conference. It had one kickass trailer, and I loved that. However, no matter how the enemies are almost finished and some levels look ready to play (they played one during the conference) this game is far from finished.

I'd be pretty sold on this game if I had a PS3, but I don't, so I'm outta luck. anyhow, ur allies aren't even scripted yet, so how close can they really be to done? Actually....pretty ...
