I really want to check that game out Michael.

Re: Games thread!
 

It's too early to tell for me yet but it looks like they really NAILED it. I suspect the "sufficiently hard in the beginning" is going to reflect a demand on actual thoughtful gameplay later on. The hacking system is f'ing cool as hell.

The first mission after the intro sequence allows you to choose your rules of engagement, whether to go "lethal or nonlethal" and "ranged or close combat". It's really quite something.

Re: Games thread!
 

My buddy picked it up last week and he has been raving about it, we are both fans of the 1st two games as well.

Re: Games thread!
 

I missed the first one (2? o.O) Not sure if the originals stand up to the test of time.

I've been trying to play through 1 again...can't seem to get into it :/

I am really, REALLY looking forward to BF3.

Snagged Madden 12 yesterday for PS3. It's been awhile since I've played a madden football game. I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far!

Re: Games thread!
 

I've got that as well, waiting to beat brotherhood before I start it though.

Re: Games thread!
 

Deus Ex is ok, but it's not grabbing me. I think once Dead Isand and space marine release tomorrow i'll shelve it, just doesn't seem quite like the older ones.

Re: Games thread!
 

I want a review of Dead Island, some Gamestops here are doing midnight releases, which is kind of impressive.

Joystiq was the most critical, most places seemed to really like it. We'll see tomorrow :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

:tu right on! Thanks for these...time to read.

Re: Games thread!
 

I am thinking of picking up Dead Island as well. I loved Left 4 Dead. Hoping this is as fun.

Total play time - just over 16 hours. :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

Hell yeah ALEX!!!!! :tu :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

For the Assassin's Creed fans, GTTV (Gametrailers) is doing a special on the new game this Thursday at 1am on Spike....set yo dvr's

Re: Games thread!
 

Anyone pick up Dead Island yet? Is it worth it?

Re: Games thread!
 

My buddy is liking it, but I am going to wait for Monday before I bug him for a review. You know how new games are you dig the hell out of it because it's something new, but by about the 4th or 5th day the newness has worn off and you really see what the game is.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm enjoying Dead Island so far.

Now that I'm not playing on a developer release.

I really can't imagine heads not rolling over that mistake.

Re: Games thread!
 

I am going to pick it up this weekend. If anyone wants to play let me know. For that matter I still have left 4 dead 2 that I like play with others and NCAA football 12

What system? If you're on PC I'd be down for some L4D2 :tu

Anyone here a PS3 owner that is picking up Resistance 3?

Re: Games thread!
 

Man I loved L4D1, but the online community for L4d2 sucked! No communication...hello? This game is made for communication, you have a headphone...USE IT!!!

/rant

Re: Games thread!
 

I have L4D2 on Xbox

Not sure what system I want to get Dead Island for. Have to decide between PS3 and Xbox

I want to pick up Resistance 3, but some many other games coming in the next few months I may have to hold off.

Re: Games thread!
 

BATMAN in t- 40 days!!! :noon :noon

Re: Games thread!
 

Anyone playing Deus Ex Human Revolutions?

This game upon my first look....AWFUL

The movement is not smooth at all, everything is sped up and unrefined.

The muzzle flash on the first gun you get is stupidly excessive, I cannot even see where I am shooting. Unrealistic...

The 3rd person switch mode doesn't work properly from what I've seen so far. Lots of missing and off-target shooting.

This game looks like a bunch of great ideas got f*cked up in the creation process.

I'll keep playing for a bit but right now.....6/10 TOPS.

Re: Games thread!
 

Can't wait for this one.

Saw the commercial for Uncharted 3 today. Going to be awesome

Re: Games thread!
 

MW3! Been playing Black Ops...Never played the MW games.

Re: Games thread!
 

Adam you don't know what your missing, imo MW is 10x's better than COD.....play MW2 then come back and thank me.

Re: Games thread!
 

You could always sell it and get the trade in for Batman or AC: Revelations:noon

Need to share this:

Portal: No Escape

Re: Games thread!
 

Just played Dead Space and am working my way through Dead Space 2. The wife just picked up Dead Island for me but that will have to wait till im done with Dead Space 2. All this is for Xbox, my next PS3 game will be Uncharted 3, can't wait for that.

Re: Games thread!
 

Final Verdict on Deus Ex. 8.5/10

As the game goes on it becomes easier if you choose the right augmentations. Sometimes even too easy. It's a huge PITA at the start but once you get a few levels in it's really fun.

Still to me some of the stuff doesn't work right. The game is kinda short too with too few side quests.

I think if they spent another 6 months to a year on it and made the game longer it could be 9/10 +

Worth a play through for sure.

It seems once you level up and are kicking ass the game is over, which is kind of a shame.

The ending should be interesting but MEH...

Re: Games thread!
 

Thanks for the review, I won't waste my time buying it, will just rent it from Gamefly.

Re: Games thread!
 

just preordered BF3 from newegg 48 bucks..... ohes noes.

Re: Games thread!
 

Good price Joey :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

It's a solid game in now a days times......

But that's about it, rent it you'll enjoy it but you will also be happy you didn't buy it.

Playing Dead Island now, what the hell is with opening doors......this is retarded.

It doesn't even explain the controls or how to do it.....:td

I get it now.....so stupid.

Hopefully the game is good though.

The game is fine. I heard people describe it as Fallout-esque...I'd call it more of Borderlands. When people say "Fallout" I think of this deep, involved story-line. Not so much with Borderlands - It is more of a "Kill stuff and level up" kinda game.

I personally wasn't a huge fan of Borderlands. But aside from a few nit-picky things that drive me up the wall about Dead Island it is fine.

Re: Games thread!
 

I will def rent Dead Island as well, I still need to get through Fallout 3....such a long game.

I'm on my 2nd play through of New Vegas right now. I played Fallout3 probably 4 times. I love everything about that game :tu

I just cant find the time, that's my problem.

Re: Games thread!
 

Bought Red Orchestra 2 the other day. Haven't gotten time to sit down with it just yet.

Re: Games thread!
 

I played through Warhammer 40K Space Marine. Real fun game, definetly worth a look if your looking for some over the top action.

Re: Games thread!
 

...Gears of War!...
Gears of War!...

Re: Games thread!
 

2 days to go. simma down there S.T.

Re: Games thread!
 

I was excited for it but after 5 minutes in the demo it was just way too platformy for me.

Now that Minecraft 1.8 is out I'm sorta stuck in that.

Well... And all this talk of borderlands2 has got me doing a Mordecai playthrough.

Other than that I'm out of just about everything. Couple cute demos kicking around, waiting to see if I'm gonna get a SWTOR beta invite (preordered.) But all my other time is in the woodshop now.

Re: Games thread!
 

Hmmm maybe I'll check out space marine, the rest of the warhammer games were never fun to me though.

Re: Games thread!
 

There's hardly any platforming aside from two jump pack sequences. Most of the game involves smashing and dramatic british voice acting.

Re: Games thread!
 

Yeah, 1.8 really reignited my interest in Minecraft. It's always on the backburner as something to mess around with, but I've been really into some other games lately. The 1.8 update just brought back my interest to it.

Now Borderlands 2 gets me excited for sure. I need to go back and play the two expansions that I never finished. I finished the game (twice) and then played through Zombie Island and Underdome Riot, still need to get to General Knoxx and Robot Revolution.

Re: Games thread!
 

Knoxx is solid. The only thing I got out of Underdome was the bank. (I don't play with other people.) Robot Rev is good but I tend to forget the details. I think Ned wins on the DLCs.

Minecraft 1.8 is really impressing me. I'm torn as I have an existing world with LOTS of huge mostly-finished constructions. I have to venture pretty far in order to get the new terrain generators to kick in. But it sure is a whole different level of game.

It's funny. I've started teaching myself how to build furniture and it's suspiciously cubic looking.

Re: Games thread!
 

No no, I mean "like a platform game" re: controls and such. Seems very much like a playstation rpg to me.
