Heart Shaped Box is better than you!

So I don't buy very many video games anymore, and definitely never brand new, but I do have almost all the Grand Theft Auto games so I had to pick up "Bully". I know it's watered down but so far I'm enjoying it. Got it for $18 new, so that's always a plus.

While I'm talking about Rockstar games, how was that cowboy game they did? Was it like Grand Theft Auto?

Besides these games I pretty much stick to (S)NES games and Dance Dance Revolution, anyone want to pimp some other good recent games to me?

*Duke* · 11-11-2006, 12:33 PM

Where did you get bully for $18 new?

Peanut · 11-11-2006, 05:25 PM

I found Cooking Mama at Toys R Us. My girlfriend was there with me, so there was really no other choice than to buy it. I wanted it anyways though, so it's ALL GOOD! On top of that I bought...

Viva Pinata!!!! IYIYIYIYIYIYIYYYYEEEEE!

I picked up Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (or Winning Eleven something) for the 360 the other day and am quite disappointed. The gameplay truly does make it the best sports title out there (especially if you follow soccer) but the 360 version has actually been stripped down. For example, the PS2 and Xbox versions feature around 20 stadiums, whereas the 360 version has 8. There are no training games (a series of particularly fun mini games which feature on the PS2 and xbox version) and you can't save goals to your hard drive to watch on a Saturday when you should be out with your mates but couldn't be bothered (this is also a feature of the current gen versions of the game). Apparently Konami intend on releasing these features as downloadable content on Live, which you have to pay for of course.

But somehow all those problems vanish when you play on live.

The gameplay is the best of the series so far, if you have previous titles in the series or are looking for a fun, competitive sports title with unrivalled multiplayer, I highly recommend picking it up.

Gears of War. It's awesome!

*Dr. Doom* · 11-12-2006, 02:38 PM

I just rented Lego Star Wars II and it's an amazingly fun time. I'm considering buying it.

*Mecha Cow* · 11-12-2006, 03:16 PM

If you have someone to play with on a regular basis I definitely recommend buying it, especially with the game's budget pricing (At least here anyway).

I beleive your referring to "Gun", a pretty solid game. I played it on my ps2, and I think the most talked about version was that of the 360( Which I hear wasnt really up to "next-gen" standards...) but for a ps2 game, it was defnitley a solid and fun adventure.

Peanut · 11-12-2006, 04:04 PM

GUN was made my Activision. Rockstar made Red Dead Revolver, which wasn't all that good. Nothing like GTA either.

~~AquaParade~~ · 11-12-2006, 04:05 PM

Whoooops, your right. Well I thought Gun and Red Dead Revolver Were both fun games

. Neither of them spectacular...but fun none-the-less.

Brian · 11-16-2006, 07:44 PM

Daaaaamn! DU, where you been, son?

Jed · 11-17-2006, 05:23 PM

Got Tony Hawk's Project 8, the framerate is atrocious, makes the game kinda hard to play.

The Clerk · 11-20-2006, 06:33 PM

Well... I just got the bumper BK game for 360... actually not that bad.

And I see that people are playing it online which took me by surprise.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 11-20-2006, 06:52 PM

Sorry to hear that Tony Hawk's Project 8 has a bad frame rate. I somewhat thought of buying it, but I'm not going to now.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-20-2006, 08:14 PM

The Clerk · 11-20-2006, 09:50 PM

for the 360/Wii/Ps3? Not. Save your money while you can.

Peanut · 11-20-2006, 09:53 PM

The Wii game is different, junior.
