cool, thanks

not that i'll get a 360 before they're $50 or so but good to know

i hate gentoo but i ran slackware for something like 11 years so i know a thing or two about compiling shit and doing everything the "hard" way

Damn, this is looking awesome.

Infamous gets SO FUCKING BORING after about 5 hours. At about 10 hours all I could wonder is why I played it more. THE ENTIRE FUCKING GAME is just spamming electricity attacks at the same fucking dudes and traveling around roofs touching the same stupid shit. Theres nothing else needed to be done. No reason, no warranting... just... zap. zap. zap. zap. zap. And then you beat it at about 12-13 hours...

Had they introduced some sort of significant gameplay changes along the road, it would have been a pretty good game. But instead it's monotonous game in a dull world...

And the ending was LOLobvious.

Maybe Prototype will be a bit better.

Left 4 Dead 2 High Definition Trailer Released

All I can say is: Chainsaw? Hell f'in yeah! Enjoy this pre-rendered debut trailer for Valve's shock announcement, Left 4 Dead 2!

Overview:

Left 4 Dead 2 is the sequel to the best-selling and critically-acclaimed co-operative multiplayer smash from Valve, creators of the Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike game properties. Left 4 Dead 2 promises to become one of 2009's top-selling games and set a new benchmark for co-operative action games. The title adds melee combat to the award-winning L4D style of play, with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more.

Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Finally, with new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original with more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, maps for Survival mode at launch, and more.

Supported by a $10+ million marketing campaign, Left 4 Dead has sold over 2.5 million retail copies since it was released in November of 2008. Left 4 Dead 2 is targeted for release on Xbox 360 and the PC this November, and will be launched worldwide with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign across TV, Outdoor and Online.

Never trust the 'lite' version of anything.

Reign in Acai · June 2nd, 2009, 10:07 AM

/\ The PS2 being a prime example.

Ars Magna · June 29th, 2009, 07:48 AM

I've been playing Medal of Honor: European Assault for the past few days and it has been kicking my ass. Great game!

Conspicuously Absent · June 29th, 2009, 07:51 AM

Been playing Overlord 2... its a good timesink. Blood Bowl is out, thats next on the list

Vittra · June 29th, 2009, 08:22 AM

I can't remember if I played Overlord all the way through, going to do that then play Overlord 2.

Evil? · June 29th, 2009, 05:56 PM

My friends and I have been playing nothing but Nintendo 64 and Super Nintendo the last few weeks and it has been amazing. The old games are so funny to go back and play because a lot of times the controls and graphics are just hysterical to try and deal with when you are accustomed to modern games. 4 player Goldeneye is just as fun today as it was 10 years ago.

Best game ever.

My vote for best game ever still goes to Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar. Pure, unadulterated, simplistic arcade action.

Been playing Quake Live a fair bit lately - getting my skills back gradually!

dorian gray · July 3rd, 2009, 09:44 AM

Havent plugged in my 360 since last September or so.

I just beat star ocean second evolution for the psp other day, remake of the ps1 version, second story. Totally badass rpg, probably a top 5 for me all time.

Reign in Acai · July 6th, 2009, 08:17 PM

Today I had the gaming bug. I threw on Call of Duty World at War, got bored after 5 minutes, then proceeded to play Boulder Dash for the next hour and a half. I wasn't waxing nostalgia, it's simply the better game of the two.

Reign in Acai · October 8th, 2009, 11:29 AM

Battlefield 1943 demolishes all other current fps . Air raids, dog fighting, tank mayhem, delivering blunt force trauma with a wrench, properly timed flag capture, and unlike C.O.D it possesses a team oriented and well paced feel to it all. Call of Dooty is complete ass by comparison. A mere $10 kopecks for this downloadable gem.

Speaking of downloadable gems, Shadow Complex also receives my highest recommendation.

NAD · October 8th, 2009, 11:37 AM

I bought Silpheed: The Lost Planet for $4 a few weeks ago. The dude asked me when I was going to upgrade to a PS3 and I realized that I was probably playing The Legend of Zelda before he was even born. Nice shooter, btw.

Yeah, most people consider 1942 the best of the Battlefield series. Never played it myself, I enjoyed 2142 though - the combination Jet/Helicopter gunships they had were fun to fly.

CoD is fucking awful. I'll never play that shit.

swizzlenuts · October 8th, 2009, 12:07 PM

I used to play so much Battlefield 1942. Such a great game!
