What games have you picked lately?

3lliott

Valkyria and White Knight Chronicles.

Both are alright.

flow, for free

been thinking abou tgetting darksiders for $40 but im just not SURE.

im saving my cash for rest of the year :/

Flow for Free... Ehh, at least it was free.

Dead Space- All right for twenty bucks, but the fact that Isaac doesn't talk through out the whole game pisses me off. This made me not really care whether or not he is ripped to shreds by Necromorphs or not. Plus, the story is mainly like, "Isaac, go do this and then we can leave. Great job Isaac! Crap! Something else just went wrong, go fix that now!" I also got bored of the repetitive environments, despite the great graphics.

For Christmas I got DJ Hero, Rock band Beatles, MLB 09 The Show, and Assassin's Creed 2

DJ Hero is lots of fun for a bit, but gets old soon, so I can only play for like an hour at a time.

Beatles Rock Band is great. I love it, and I had no idea that I loved the Beatles so much.

MLB 09 the Show has so many different game modes it is overwhelming. It is a pretty hard game and the baserunning for Road to the Show is TERRIBLE. All in all though, it is an amazing game.

Assassin's Creed 2 ruined a pair of boxers for me. Nuff Said.

Back in October (if this is still recent) I got Batman AA, R&C ACIT, and Fifa 10

Batman AA was sick, but not much replay value. Lent it to a friend and he loves it.

R&C was cool. Not as good as it used to be like in Up Your Arsenal, but still tons of fun.

Fifa 10 is probably the best sports game I have ever played. Overwhelming number of game modes, butthey are awesome, including the online.

I got Uncharted 2 on the 3rd day after release in September.

Incredible game. Best graphics anywhere, extremely well told story (big points in my book) and solid gameplay. Well deserving of its 50+ GOTYs.

I got Burnout Paridise two days ago and have yet to take off the plastic

Heh, my longest time keeping a game in plastic is about 3 weeks. Gotta love opening new games.

Darksiders: a month ago... 8 / 10.

Dante's Inferno: A week ago... 8 / 10.

Infamous and Bioshock both are highly recommended!

• Demons Souls 9/10 such a great game even if the bosses are way to broken. At times it is better to just run. lol
• Bayonetta 8/10
• Modern Warfare 2 7/10 still fun.

Demon's Souls. I want BioShock 2 but I'm not in a hurry been hooked with Demon's Souls a lot and Uncharted 2 multiplayer for those rage quits. :p

I managed to pick up 4 games last week for under $100 wahoo! I got:

Dragon Age: Origins. Great game, very long and keeps you interested from beginning to end. My copy also came with the stone prisoner DLC which the previous owner never used so I scored there.

Dragon Ball Raging Blast. Alright game, the fighting is very fast paced and fun but there are some reeeeeeally bad camera angles at times.

Drill Dozer (GBA). In my opinion it's only good on one playthrough and then you get bored with it.

Legend of Zelda: the Twilight Princess (GC version). Everyone knows Zelda games are just win.

White Knight Chronicles and Star Ocean 4 and I'm very happy with both. WKC could've been better if the combat wasn't so slow, but they were both wise investments. They're fairly long games so they'll last me a while and WKC has online multiplayer which will keep me playing for a bit longer after I finish the single player story.

Before those two I bought Tales of the Abyss not too long ago. A gem on the PS2 that I missed out on. I'm so glad I bought it, I've been playing it for a few months and I still haven't beaten it since it's a very long game. (I have 50 something hours clocked into it, but I think I'm almost done.) I love long games.

I haven't played the original version on the 360 so I couldn't tell you if there are any noticeable improvements. I did read that theyadded the original Japanese dubs with English subtitles for those Japaneseophiles. But that means nothing to me because I prefer to listen the English dubs because I like it when the characters speak a language I understand.

The last game that i picked-up was Army of Two: the 40th Day and i quite had fun with it, just don't expect too much... i'm still deciding whether to get Heavy Rain and MAG or not... but i'll definitely pick-up Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and God of War III.

valkyria chronicles. got it for 20 bucks and wondering why i didn't pay 60. greatness

God of War Collection ($25): Wow, I can't believe what I was missing out on! Awesome gameplay, awesome story. The puzzles are very rewarding and it's instantly in my top ten all-time favorite games. One of the advantages of waiting so long to play it is I got them for cheap, and have to finish both of them before I can even think of buying God of War 3...at which point, I'll probably be able to get it for at most $45.

Call of Duty: Modern Warefare: I bought this a long time ago, and as soon as I started the campaign mode my ps3 broke. I just got it fixed, after it laying dormant for around 6-8 months. So, I consider this a new game. I am digging the campaign, it's very well done. Graphics are among the best I've ever played. And the online multiplayer increases it's value ten-fold.

Resistance: Fall of Man ($10): I just played this for the first time last night with some friends. We only did the Co-Op Campaign because once we started, we couldn't stop! The weapons are awesome (there's a fireball gun reminiscent of Contra). The alternate history story is really well done. And it is tons of fun to blast the Chimera. I would have started the single player campaign, but I know once I start I won't be able to finish! And I'm already in the middle of 2 other games.

BioShock ($10): Reserve judgment because I haven't even put it into the system yet.

MAG-I'm pretty satisfied with it,

Dante's Inferno- Waste of time.

Ninja Gaiden 2 got it for 20 bucks and Bayonetta got for 25 :), tho I still haven't even opened them

so far this month mag and bioshock2. both alright. i might pick up AvP next week, wish there were god dm good reviews on it(from places i know of). and of course heavy rain after and my brother will mostlikely pick up badcompany

Last PS3 game I bought was Star Ocean International. Game is pretty good I must say.

Killzone 2. I like it, although I have not tried multiplayer as yet.

Infamous and Bioshock both are highly recommended!

Saints Row 2, I like it much more than GTA4. And Brutal Legend which i have to say i was expecting more out of it. but a fun game none the less.
