Aside from Grand Theft Boring IV, is there anything coming out on my beloved Xbox the new few months that looks worthwhile? I went next door to see my neighbor play through the first level of Dark Sector, and that looks kind of interesting. I think I'm burn out on Vegas 2.
-
Not really no
Year of PS3 continues
-
Ikaruga?
-
ikaruga
willco cant beat it though
-
I beat it when I owned it for GameCube!
-
He said interesting - Ikaruaga is like 5 years old, nobody cares
-
O SNAP!
I forgot that Ninja Gaiden II is due out in a few months. Maybe I should track down a copy of Ninja Gaiden Sigma so I know what the story is (is there even a story?).

Apart from GTA IV, April and May are pretty barren.

i doubt this would be long, 10 hours max.
less/no more backtracking, puzzles, platforming...etc...
besides, both are on different platforms, pretty healthy if you ask me, and it's not like NG sells million in it's first month or something.

smh drohne :lol

Nailed it.
-
oh, i don't think mgs4 will have any real impact on its sales. i'm just annoyed that i'll have to rush through it
-
uh, Alone in the Dark V and HEI$T
I really like the look of Alone in the Dark. Dead Space is the other one I'm excited for, but I don't think that's "next few months".
-
I'm really interested to see what the InXile guys are cooking
and being a gangster on a string of daring missions is too cool
in fact I'm labeling a DVD+R DL for it right now
-
Where am Alan Wake? :'(

wtf does that even mean
kind of good for me that nothing is coming out, Ive got no money and a huge backlog
-

Maybe console yourself with Alone in the Dark, Dead Space etc.... until 2009.
That's what I'm doing. :(
-
dead space looks interesting.

What the fuck? :lol

Well I just got Condemned 2 in the mail from the States. So I'm set for a little while.
If anyone thinks it's shit, or it's crap compared to the first, I don't want to hear it. :shh
-
it's shit.
-
very bad
-
it's shit.
Really? That sucks. You were pretty hyped for it if I remember correctly.
-
i only played the 1st level lol.
-
very bad
its better than Viking
-
Well, I'm going to play it after sundown. I've heard that adds 2/10ths to it's score.
So it's AT LEAST a 2/10.
-
very bad
its better than Viking
and the darkness

Condemned 2 is totally awesome, but it does have less consistency in its levels than the original, and also it's way too easy
I liked the direction that Monolith took, obviously they changed the game's look a bit for the sequel in order to gain a bigger audience by say, making Ethan Hunt 20 years younger and giving him a beard and a physique reminiscent of Sam Fisher, and they turned Rosa from a middle-aged caucasian woman into a 28 years-old black chick
but most of all the game knows that it's cheesy, that it's nothing but a b-grade, direct to video horror film in game form, it embraces these aspects and that's what makes it enjoyable
I loved how they hinted at a sequel in the ending too
-
That last screen from Heist looks like it's pulled out of Waterworld.

it's garbage, it's f-grade "whoops we meant to make FEAR instead" crap in game form, it embraces these aspects and thats what makes it shit
the devs even mentioned how they basically rushed it, how can you even accept that
and i bought it and got all 1000 so my opinion is lauded higher than yours
i dont even know if lauded is a real word, it sounded right
-
does mondain also love how Ethan can kill people with his voice? forgot that bit, didn't ya. schmoe.
go suck a mortal kombat ripoff dickus
-
I was all excited about Condemned 2 until I heard about the shitty ending. Fuck that. I ain't playing through another 8 hrs just to find out that we still don't know what's going on.
-
i love shooting big metal hulks with arrows, duh-hur

Sounds a bit like Fear. Is that real Fear sequel from Monolith coming out this year?
-
Dude, there is even an entire office level where you walk around with a shotgun, like it was straight from FEAR
It's so fuckin shitty, fuck that game, and fuck you mondain, why cant you troll this instead of Diablo or something
-
WTF How many times is Monolith going to make deserted office levels?
-
Well, it's finally dark so I'm going home to play Condemned 2. And in spite of all you negative nancies, I'm going to enjoy it (even killing bums with my voice).
So there.
-
you people are in the minority for disliking Condemned 2 this time
I guess I just love roaming around in virtual deserted buildings and offices too much
but I see these elements that you criticize as changes that Monolith made to make the game more appealing to the mainstream and have nothing against them
it's a story about supernatural forces and power, is that so absurd to think that the protagonist would get a scary supernatural power that would allow him to wreak havoc around him... sounds right out of a B horror movie too, it's fantastic
-
I put in an hour and half or so to Condemned 2 last night, and so far it's fantastic. I've started on Hard difficulty for something different and even though I died twice the checkpoints are placed well so it's not frustrating.
I find the combat much easier than the first one so far. I was never very good at blocking in the first one but this one is a lot better. And the combos are great. I heard some people complain "OMG there's a distracting combo meter!!" - I can't believe they'd complain about such a tiny little combo icon. I'm loving the combat. It's deeper, but not ridiculously complex.
Plus it's got both ingredients for a great survival horror: it's slow & unsettling. Level design is great so far.
Overall it feels really polished. So far so good.
