I've alwayshad this notion that PDZ was a bad game. It's general though here. It did get rather good scores from gamespot and gametrailers however, you'd think it was doing something right.

So I was in gamestop and I saw it for $8 so I decided to pick it up.

This game is good. The actual single player is meh, typical and average to be honest. However, why I'm playing this now is the mp. I can't put it in any other terms but its mp is pretty damn fun. Stearing rockets, using zoid like things, sniping on top of rocks, hiding out so the other people wont find you in dark ops, etc.

I can't put it in any other terms, PDZ is actually a pretty good game. The only thing is that you have to turn the auto-aim on. This sounds weird to those who havent played it, but the aiming is sort of weird without it. You can tell that it was made with it in mind. The hemits are going to eat me for saying this, but you really do need it in this game. That being said, i do no scopes in halo a bit which doesnt have autoaim (it varies by weapon, sniper doesnt when not zoomed in) so its a game thing.

I wouldn't say it is at all bad, just not 9/10 good. I suppose for it's time it might have been though.

I'd give it a 8/10.

this is based with no prior PD experience though. but then again, seeing as how im talking about the mp, why shoudl i need any?

the community is still pretty strong

I find PC shooters take less skill because KB/Mouse controls are far more accurate and adjustable. Console controls however require some serious thumb dexterity and even with some slight aiming assistance, it's still harder to master.

i disagree really. You're really grouping together too many games.

I can play halo and get headshots without autoaim (betrayal games in forge prove this) and then theres stuff like Warsow where its impossible to actually hit the person square

Aren't they a part of Valve now though? Anyway, CS Source was released as HL2s multiplayer and was developed by Valve.

no they aren't....I've been building up my xbox collection lately and at most I've spent $7-$8 on each game. Quite a few have only been $2-$3 each.....

Im probably missing 1 or 2 though.

Plan on buying (for my 360) from games this holiday: Banjo, Last Remnant, Left 4 Dead, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears 2
