Disaster: Day of Crisis. So far it looks like a collection of lame mini-games with N64 graphics, but we'll see if it picks up.

I was unaware that they had made over 333 Sextillion other Fallout games. Seems like the mass alone probably would have oblitherated our solar system at the very least.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-28-2008, 05:57 PM

Hur hur, you said 'sex'.

... I'm sorry.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-28-2008, 06:07 PM

How dare you pervert something so pure and innocent as math!? -=Weeps into a textbook=-

*Mecha Cow* · 10-28-2008, 06:24 PM

Innocent my ass. Math is all about things adding up and multiplying.

*Brodie* · 10-29-2008, 11:45 AM

Its really unfortunate how boring Fallout 3 is for the first 4 hours.

~~AquaParade~~ · 10-29-2008, 12:18 PM

If anyone has feedback from fallout 3, I'm definitely interested in hearing about it. There are just too many games I want right now. Not only the holiday releases. I actually just picked up the orange box. I never finished Half-life 2, and I heard the episode 1 and 2 expansions only get better. Anyone have feedback on those? I love half-life 2 so I'm sure I'll enjoy them.

Also, if anyone has mini unbiased reviews of Web of Shadows, Far Cry 2, or Fallout they'd like to share, It would sure help me out a lot.

*Brodie* · 10-29-2008, 01:22 PM

I really dig Web of Shadows, but I'm a comic nerd (venom tattoo). It has its issues, but it gets rid of them early on. Its really interesting to see a game put the ****** stuff up front, then get better.

Far Cry 2 is pretty good, it's just it coulda been a lot better. The graphics are awesome and the variety of weapons is cool. However, the game gets pretty repetitive pretty quickly, especially with all the enemy checkpoints there are. They're literally ALL over the place. The way it SHOULD be is once you scout a place, the enemies are gone for good so you can drive through with no problem, but after a couple of in-game hours, they come back so you have to shoot them all over again. It can also be a little overwhelming with how many different things there are to do, but I'm cool with it.

I haven't tried any of the multi stuff yet or the map maker.

The game is cool and all, I was just expecting more. Oh, and for a game that takes place in Africa? I've only seen like 4 f*cking zebras.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-29-2008, 04:45 PM

What I do have feedback on for The Orange Box is Team Fortress 2. I always have the hardest time describing it but it's really one of my favorite games period. I've been playing it on and off since it came out, I always find myself able to come back. All the vibrant, hilarious characters and wonderful art design really give this game a charm that you can't find anywhere else and it's hard not to get sucked into it all. And of course it's just really fun killing other people in all the very unique ways you you have at your disposal. Nobody is really just "the guy who goes around and shoots things". Everyone has at least one "normal" gun, but each character really has their own very specific role to play on the team and individual strengths and weaknesses, and it's really fun experimenting with all of them. But it's even more fun when you find the one that suits you and you're able to start tearing people apart.

So it's definitely worth getting?

*Brodie* · 10-30-2008, 11:42 AM

If you dug Ultimate Spider-Man, this is the closest to that game that you'll get. Its not as amazing, but its nifty.

*raphael_is_cool* · 10-31-2008, 08:46 AM

Spider-Man: WoS reminds me of Assassin's Creed in a way. They both have really strong central elements but everything around it isn't up to the same calibre.

Also, you learn pretty quickly: do not bother with all the damn 'side missions'!

But honestly, it is a really fun game. I'm seeing a lot of reviews complaining of repetition (seriously, ignore the side missions) but I remember SM2 and USM seemed to be just as samey. The only difference is this time round you really feel like Spider-Man; the combat is heaps better. You can go from fighting a green goblin-style hovering guy, to running along a wall, punching other guys, into swinging down onto the ground and taking out a few more.

And nothing beats nailing a swing kick and flinging a bad guy off into the distance.

*Ninjinister* · 10-31-2008, 11:38 PM

I would have King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga, if Amazon wasn't being really retarded with it for some reason. The game released on the 28th, but every day since then, the ship date has been delayed. Meanwhile, other people, who didn't pre-order it, already have it. I don't get it; I've never had trouble pre-ordering something from Amazon before.

*Ecto Jedi* · 11-01-2008, 02:03 AM

F-Zero GX for $5, off Ebay. God bless the Internet.

poiuytre · 11-01-2008, 09:09 AM

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia. It's a better game than the last two but I don't like how the series is becoming less about exploration and more about combat with each instalment. The game is kinda hard, but easier than Mega Man 9 and Contra 4, so it's manageable. Amazing boss battles too. Didn't know they had it in them. 8/10 game if you ask me.

*Mecha Cow* · 11-01-2008, 11:04 AM

Did anyone else check out the Mirror's Edge demo? I really like what the game is trying to do but I found the controls to be very unintuitive, and some its ideas simply aren't feasible, like first-person platforming. A bit of a shame, really.

HeavyMetalCarebear · 11-04-2008, 08:09 PM

Lego Batman. I love this game!!
