Well, I renewed WoW. It is a hell of a lot of fun, and I set the parental controls on my own account to only let me play for 3 hours in any given day. Sometimes I need help managing myself

Assassins Creed brotherhood is pretty awesome.If you like either of the first two games, pick this one up, much improved combat system

Bill86 · 11-21-2010, 04:40 PM

I just tried playing assassins creed the first one. My god this game is stupid and annoying. I hear the second one is better but I want to hear the story behind the first one.

Beat dead rising 2, darksiders and CoD Black Ops. What is the deal lately with games that annoy the piss out of you intentionally? I just want a good story line that moves you through the game, not to be confused/messed with for 15 hours of gameplay.

Black Ops - 5 hours of campaign play.....disappointed, liked MW2 much better. Stupid flashy strobe is headache heaven.
Darksiders - 16 hours of nonstop puzzles and annoyance. The last 2 bosses were give mes.
Dead Rising 2 - 14 hours of way too many zombies that spawn out of nowhere. Piss poor AI and time limits (the most annoying conceivable thing possible to put in a game)

I find most games are easily beatable and offer VERY little playing time. 5-15 hours is unacceptable.

Been playing Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on the Wii virtual console. Excellent game!

Indeed, Rondo was one of the best of the early CVs. They made a remake of it two years ago that was pretty good.

I'm on vacation, been playing some Team Fortress 2 on my laptop

Might wait a day or two before picking up anything new. Some good black friday deals right around the corner.

I'll wait on GT5 anyways..I really don't want to put down Black Ops. Maybe I'll pick it up for Xmas though.

People are actually enjoying black ops? I think its flat out the worst game of the series on 360 thus far.

I'm seriously pondering trading mine in already.

On a different note, Castlevania LoS was a great game. A bit drawn out at times, but really good. Ending was excellent.

Really? I like it much better than MW2, I like the fact that camping is not so encouraged in this one.

I have to say that I like black ops more than mw. I like the fact that camping is less, the noob tubes are less effective and the customizations. I also like all the challenges though I could use more contracts to choose from. I will say that I need some reward for get prestige besides a new custom class...maybe a new gun every 2 prestige levels. Though the G11 and stoner are pretty awesome.

I might have to keep an eye out for a GT5 deal with wheel since I did love prologue.

Castlevania games that aren't platformers are not my style. I haven't liked one yet that wasn't a side-scroller. LoS looks like a decent game, but shouldn't have Castlevania in the title.

Just beat Kane & Lynch 2, not sure why...AWFUL game. Literally a 3 hour play time campaign "story". Not sure what the story was but it was really bad.

Oh I know why I played it....internet went out.

What would possess you to buy one of the worst games of the year? You should read some reviews before picking your games, you complain alot most of them sucking

Today, i'm working off Tday dinner and maybe will play some Minecraft when people clear out

See there's where you are mistaken. Who said I bought it? All of the games I review/crap on I didn't buy. I usually do read reviews but I'm a sucker for shooter games and usually give them a break....in this case I could not. It was beyond horrible. I don't know if you needed to play the first one to understand a bit of the story but I really don't think there was one.

Basically I've played too many games. There aren't many good ones left.

The only game I've bought within the past .....2 years is Starcraft II.

That's crazy, this has been an unbelievable year for gamers. There has been an over abundance of good games in fact. But considering how many good titles you've labeled as crap you probably wouldn't like any of them.

I only play PC if that makes a difference. I'm no good with those controllers.

I also don't play online if that makes a difference. Far to addicting.

Single player games with good story lines are what I'm enjoying now a days.

Just beat force unleashed 2 ...meh

Mass Effect 2 was probably the only game worth buying to me besides Starcraft 2. I did throughly enjoy beating that twice.

It is also noted that I've been unemployed for 4.5-5 months this year. So buying games I'll just beat and quit isn't really an option, well unless I want to stop buying cigars.

Knip23 · 11-27-2010, 10:12 AM

Has anyone beat Dantes Infurno yet? Awsome game. I beat it all relics, aand silver. It was hard I had to use the walk through online, some of the silver and relics you would never think to find. So how about you guys, anyone play it?

Knip.

Lucky_Hippo · 12-02-2010, 07:04 AM

Alright fellas. I broke down and grabbed a PS3 the other day and so far I've bought GTA, Uncharted 2, God of War III, and Castlevania.

I'm on the fence about Black Ops and AC: Brotherhood right at the moment, howere are there any other "must have" titles for the PS3 that I'm overlooking?

What about Infamous? I enjoy both shooters and puzzle games with racing and sports usually taking a back seat if I have the choice.

Thanks in advance gang!!!

Batman Arkham Asylum, Demon Souls, and Metal Gear Solid 4 are worth a look. The Assassins Creed games are excellent, get off the fence!
