I borrowed Viking to play since I've become temporarily board with my other games and am on hiatus from Live.

This game any good? I've watched KROW play it a bit and it looks pretty decent.

Peanut · 10-25-2009, 12:19 PM

It's fantastic. Absolutely love that game. I recommended it to Brodie, and he dug it too.

*Storm Wolf* · 10-25-2009, 12:24 PM

Oh good.

It was between Viking and Conan. I was told that Conan was bit more restrictive as far as explorations and such.

I'll probably pick Conan up eventually, just for the hell of it.

Hopefull I'll get my SNES Blackthorn game Monday. Lota memories attatched to that game!

Peanut · 10-25-2009, 12:26 PM

Both games are great. Conan is a lot more linear of an experience, but the combat is much deeper. You get to tackle things however you feel in Viking, and the scope is much larger, especially in the siege battles, but the combat isn't quite as deep.

Awesome games, though. And highly under appreciated.

Right now I'm playing Saint's (or is it just Saints? It's that way on the cover but feels wrong) Row 2 with Brodie. Pretty fun stuff.

*Storm Wolf* · 10-25-2009, 12:39 PM

I've always been curious about Saints Row. Sadly I've never tried either the first or second one.

I'm one of the unfortunate gamers that sticks to what I know out of fear of paying 50 bucks on a load of sh*t, thus I miss out on some great stuff. I guess I should be more broad with what I choose. After all Okami was an impulse buy and that turned out fine.

*Cure* · 10-25-2009, 01:00 PM

It's like GTA, only fun.

*Brodie* · 10-25-2009, 05:02 PM

Yeah, our playthrough is like the Brodie and the Caveman show, because I made my character look like me, and Cure made his look like a neanderthal. Awesome.

*Brodie* · 10-25-2009, 05:13 PM

That game piqued the interest of Peanut and I, but I don't think either of us could come to terms with actually getting it, or experiencing it...Seems like it'd be more fun if it made it easier to be dicks to people, though.

Shadow Complex anyone? I just bought the points at Gamecrazy to purchase it.

Mini reviews?

Probably the best game on XBLA. Highly re-playable and addicting.

~~AquaParade~~ · 10-26-2009, 09:17 PM

Couldn't have said it better myself guys! I'm enjoying the hell out of this game. One of the best I've played all year.

Now, can one of you tell me about how far I am into the game? I'm dreading the credits....I just recently acquired what seems to be the first part of the umm "cyber suit". I'm dressed in all black. At this very moment, I seem to be walking along vents above the enemy cafeteria, as they chat it up. Anybody know how long I have to go?

**Barkworm** · 10-27-2009, 01:23 AM

About halfway through I guess!?

*Brodie* · 10-27-2009, 08:20 AM

Depends how you're playing it...the game can take like 15 minutes or 13 hours.

*Ninjinister* · 10-27-2009, 08:47 AM

Will have Tekken 6 before the day is through....

BECAUSE HE'S MANLY LIKE THAT?

Also, getting Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days tomorrow. Trading in Yoshi's Island and Children of Mana for it. Two friends of mine have it right now, so it's sort of a good excuse to get it as well. Huzzah for multiplayer!

Did you get those from that place that takes any ROM and dumps them to NES carts? Or did you just find them?
