You want it.

*Spitfire* · 08-05-2006, 04:57 AM

Dead Rising is so mine the day it comes out...played Demo and I have 25 bucks down on it already.

Peanut · 08-05-2006, 05:27 PM

Oh, definately. I've been looking forward to that game since day one. The 15 minute demo sealed the deal.

RE4 for the cube is awesome.

You'll love it.

Yeah he's right, RE 4 is one of the few games that actually gets easier towards the end...

TheGreenMagic · 08-06-2006, 01:20 AM

Yeah, now that I've managed to progress into the game and past that little prologue the fun factor has kicked in substantially. Now it's truly getting interesting.

Kaneda · 08-06-2006, 01:25 AM

Is Dead Rising really good? I've seen the commercials and have been trying to coax my friend with a 360 into buying it.RE4 is so awesome thats the last game i bought i already beat it numerous times before i bought it but i got the collectors version for pretty cheap so had to buy it.Your right it does get easier the last boss was somewhat of a dissapointment to me.

Peanut · 08-06-2006, 11:11 AM

Dead Rising, from the demo, seems like an awesome game. I've played through the entire 15 minutes 5 or 6 times already. Trying to find as much stuff as I can. Walking into stores and grabbing whatever you can get a hold of to kill zombie scum is awesome. The toy store has been my favourite so far. All the items in there are worthless for killing zombies, but they're funny. I wish I could find the hardware store. <3

*Spitfire* · 08-06-2006, 11:23 AM

Yeah DR is great. Zombie bashing the way it was ment to be. I love the screen that comes up in the begining stating that it has nothing to do with Dawn Of The Dead haha

Jo269976 · 08-06-2006, 12:00 PM

Fatal Frame (Project Zero in PAL) heard it was scary and fun so decided to get it.... just need to wait for it to be delivered.

Man i wish i could play Dead Rising, looks so fun!

Peanut · 08-06-2006, 07:01 PM

My favourite weapon so far, a bowling ball. Followed closely by the scythe type thing you start with and an electric guitar. From the three cut-scenes I've already seen. (One at the beginning, one in the movie theatre, and one in another part of the mall), it seems like the game has a really dark tone. I'm loving it so much. It looks amazing on my HD display.

I also like the little snippet of stuff given during those info screens that you usually see at the end of a demo. The one where it said unlocking certain achievements will unlock rare DLC for you to get over XBL Marketplace. That's just f*cking awesome.

I can't wait for Tuesday!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-08-2006, 03:18 PM

Just bought a memory unit so my sister can play Oblivion without 'effing up my hard drive with 100 save files.

The Clerk · 08-08-2006, 11:10 PM

so is it worth the money?

PsychoJoe · 08-09-2006, 01:57 AM

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: BattleNexus for GameCube
Resident Evil 4 for GameCube
Half - Life 2 for XBOX

*Kid Icarus* · 08-09-2006, 02:05 AM

the roommates picked up beatmania.

stupid, stupid, game...

but it's way too addictive. it's not fair.

Channel 6 · 08-09-2006, 02:47 AM

Picked up TMNT 3: Mutant Melee for the DS at the terrific price of $13.99. Though I realise it probably isn't the best game, for a side scrolling beat 'em up, it was definitely worth the money.

Not to mention parts of the game are nearly impossible to beat on your first try. You have to restart the game from scratch and keep your level and skills and stuff to beat some of it.

If the entire game wasn't timed it would probably be one of the best games in a long time. As it stands, it's an amazing game, great story, tons of fun, but the timed sh*t makes some of it feel tedious. I just leave people to die whenever I see them and continue on with the main missions.

I'll see if I can forgive it for that as well. I get it tommrow...So we will see how many days it consumes me as well.

Yes. It's well worth the money. One of few on the 360. Oblivion, Kameo, and LotR:BfME II are the only other ones I can think of.

Yeah, Spit, I'm over it now. Completely. Now I love the system. Having to make those choices about who to save and things like that is tough. Do you help out the mother who watched her baby get eaten, or the young guys who barricaded themselves in a clothes store...or BOTH? It's a great system now that I can see the beauty of it. The difficulty for some of the nutcases in the mall is ridiculous though.

I still don't like that the entire game ends if you miss the timing on one of the case missions though.

Jed · 08-09-2006, 03:29 PM

Got a 360 today with Condemned, Hitman: Blood Money and FarCry Instincts: Predator. Can't wait to get Dead Rising, gonna download the demo tonight.
