Games Opinon thread
 
just looking for opinons from people who have actually played games not just internet reviews on them. this could be any game any system of recent.

for example:

Im interested in dead rising I played the demo it was pretty fun but it seemed the premise(killing thousands of zombies) would get old quick

does the game have a decent enough storyline to push it along?

just finished up Rainbow Six Vegas, was a fun time.. Although the "tactics" kind of wear thin, you plan how youre gonna enter a room but after that its pretty much just "shoot all the bad guys".. Could have used more depth on that side of things but still a really fun game, great visuals, decent story.. Including cliche twist ending.

just bought red orchestra from steam a week ago (not a recent game but they have a 20% off deal and new content).

easily the best online wwii shooter ive ever played, probably the best all around aswell. I dont have a top notch system (bf2 gets choppy), but RO runs very smooth and had good enough graphics.

what makes it great is that the battles usually remain pretty centralized. if you are on a good server, you wont be able to go off on your own without getting taken down quickly. gets pretty entense, built in VOIP is great too.

im playing that on my 360 now. My newest tatic is to send in the troops 1st. too many times i would take point and get whacked and have to play entire sections over again, meanwhile if your squadmates get capped you can bring them back to life.

I used to play RO religiously. I play every now and then. I'm just waiting for Insurgency now.

RO is pretty leet.

Call of Juarez is a pretty cool western fps.
I played through the demo a couple of times already. The concentration mode is sweet. Riding horses is awkward at first.
I haven't tried the multiplayer as of yet.
I actually might buy this one when it comes out.

My apologies for the lame synopsis............I'm lying on my couch with the laptop. stupid:

well seeing as though i have it heres a quick review;

intially you play and it feels a bit limited, but once you get into it a bit more and level up more and find all the bits and pieces then open up the longer modes it all starts to be fun. only bad point about the game is the very annoying lack of many save points; but based on a reduced price as its been out a while its definetly one to play and great one to go about trying to get the achievements for. especially when you find things like the cars and go down into the basement emergency roads.

Played it at a friends house and its pretty cool. Pretty much anything can be used as a weapon, but I definitely see how it can get boring. There is a story and you have to save people, but most of it is mindless killing without much strategy. I see it more as a rental then anything else. Im assuming you have it, but if u dont, Gears of War is one of the best games Ive played on Xbox360.

Agreed, those save-points are a fucker...

Just the pure size of the mall, and the fact that there is so much content there is kind of bewildering when you first get into the game, so you tend to miss alot of stuff in favour of the game storyline - So as you play through the game you start noticing and figuring out new things - Level ups like elstat said eleeten your character - My dude wears a dress.

It's false advertising essentially. It will be released June 30th. Mark my words.
