Finished Dead Island... what a fun game.
Finished Homefront tonight. Very short and not all that great. There's a few achievements I'm gonna go back and grab and then trade this one in.
Next? I think I'll just piddle around with maybe TR: Underworld if anything at all. Forza 4 next week and I'll be all over that.
Bought my first humble pack lastnight, got all the games in it and I think i'll do trauma first.
Just finished Gears 3 and next I'll be dividing my time between Rage and Driver S.F. Good times. Good times.
EDIT: Woops! Sorry, I didn't completely answer the subject line question: Yes I did like Gears 3, very much so! Will definately play again sometime.
Hmm.
Forgot to post..
I finished Modern Warfare 2 and COD World at War. Bought them both on the Steam sale last month for low prices.
Modern Warfare 2 was really short, but really well done. Good story, well balanced action, fun without too many stupid tricks. Everyone here has already played it so I have nothing to add. Great game.
World at War I really shouldn't have bothered finishing. I kept thinking it would get better, but it never did. It wasn't just stale, this is console kiddie crap at it's worst. A series of banal missions with the requisite pinch points that you will replay a dozen times until you luck into the perfect timing to get past them, as if it masks the stupidity of the game - it doesn't. World at War is significantly inferior to COD 2, and playing it on the heels of WM2 REALLY underscored how poor the game is.
World at War was dumb. I never beat it because of the luck involved. You had to run forward to stop the respawns, but 20 guys would shoot at you. Eventually it is just a game of trying to sprint up through cover to cut off the respawn and then take out the guys. Very lame.
Just beat Bastion.
Solid title though some of the game-play is ridiculous frustrating when you have weapons that doesn't work well against a particular enemy and you end up dying a few time. Aside from that, I enjoyed the game and the story.
Hitman 1. It was fun. Traditions of the Trade and Plutonium Runs Loose are probably my favourite Hitman levels in the series. Blood Money is def the best overall though.
I was the same way at first. The best thing is to just burn through the game and collect upgrades first. Its much easier (and in some cases, only feasible) if your weapons are upgraded abit. I think the bow was like this since you need to increase the max damage to kill a bunch of bushes in 1 hit as well as increase the piercing ability to hit multiple targets.
Just beat Enslaved on 360. Got it for $10 at Gamefly. It hit me the way Beyond Good and Evil did. Great charm but absolutely horrible control and camera. I was struggling more with the camera and control that should be necessary. BG&E was mostly during the hovercraft parts but the camera reared it's ugliness during the game proper as well. Besides that, I still very much enjoyed my time with it.
Not sure what I'll go for next. I recently got Killzone 3, The Ico/SotC Collection and the GoW Origins for PS3 and Alpha Protocol, Planescape Torment and Duke Nukem Forever on PC (stuck on the queen atm. Even with 4 weapon slots, switching between weapons seems more of a chore than should be).
Last game beat: Batman: Arkham Asylum
Grade: A
I really liked it. The combat was fun, even if I never got the hang of it (max combo of around 29 or so). I loved sneaking around and taking guys out. It was a really enjoyable game. Don't know that I am going to go back through and beat it on hard though. Once might be enough for me.
In the meantime I'm playing minecraft, though I keep seeing taggart6 playing AYIM. I might have to go back to that game now.
Just Beat "And yet it Moves". interesting little puzzler that took 2 hours to beat.
Just finished Duke Nukem Forever. Got it for $10 on Gamestops service and activated on Steam. For the price it really wasn't a bad game. Pretty cool in the bonus material to look at screen shots chronologically from day 1 to finished product. It was pretty much a history of polygons.
I think I'll start up Killzone 3 now.
Just Beat: And Yet it Moves was a decent game to pass the time while waiting for my Portal 2 co-op partner and while burning DVDs yesterday. Looks like it took me 2 hours. I bet I could have finished it in 3/4 the time if I hadn't been side-tracked here and there. Definitely worth a play-through.
Next up: Finish Portal 2 Co-op and Fallout 3: New Vegas (only less than 2 hours in so far). I have a huge backlog, though, and will likely get sidetracked somewhere along the way.
Man, I am not good at Mirror's Edge.
Just beat Resident Evil 4. Really good game...last boss was kinda easy tho.
Will probably get through more of Gothic 3 next and maybe start on Deus Ex : Human Revolution.
