UNIVERSAL VIDEO GAME THREAD

[Vikki Stardust]

Stupid reviews are here!

Bioshock is kinda awesome in a scary sort of way. And its not even using cheap scares! I really liked the part where Mac was searching a cabinet and we heard someone go *woosh* behind him. Mac sighed and whirled around, only to see a creep with a welding mask and a wrench looking back at him, creepily saying "hullo.." He got a caved in skull for that cheap scare. The story was okay and the big reveal halfway through was nice, we digged the part where he lost all control of his character and was forced to watch as he beat someone to death with a golfclub. Would you kindly indeed! whee

Dead Rising is slow and it took quite some time before we got into the actual game and could pick up every day items and use them to kill zombies. Anything is a weapon and when Mac donned a giant Lego man head as a mask and proceeded to beat three dozen zombies into a pulp with a till, baseball bat, hot frying pan and guitar it got laughs out of us. Too bad that the story is so boring, all we want is to beat zombies with blunt objects!

Call of Duty 4 at first didn't do much for me. But yay for being a cool british SAS guy who lives through the entire game. And the big nuclear explosion and the aftermath were kinda scary for some reason, especially when you control a dying character not once, but twice in the same game. This game felt like an action movie but with fun characters who dont take s**t from anyone and will shoot you when you are no longer useful.

Scene It? was fun, but some of the segments were really fiendish and outright hard to guess right. You'd need to be a real movie buff to know this and our resident movie buff was barred from playing because otherwise it wouldn't be fair. It had some fun things like guessing quotes or seeing small clips of a film and then guessing what movie it is from.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was played in coop and they had a blast playing it, going all tactical on each other as they fought evil mercenaries in las vegas, france and south armerica. It had some fun moments where non intervention would result in awful scenarios where people would be shot in gruesome ways. It was bloody but not really that fun to watch.

Your rating system is amazing. 3nodding

For the sake of being a Capcom/Megaman nerd, that's not a Lego head. The head that you can put on in Dead Rising is the head of a Serve-bot.

Now imagine a burly photographer wearing a said fully-enclosed helmet of a servobot head and imagine it splattered with blood. Imagine that face just smiling as more blood spatters on it as you beat the ever not-living s**t out of zombies.

I remember playing the demo and decapitating zombies with a hockey stick. That entertained me for all of 10 minutes until I accidentally ran into a cutscene that acted as a Demo end.

Caleidah

I'd possibly get it if I had the console, as I enjoyed the first one to a huge degree.

Well it comes out on everything basically. If you have a PC or PS2 you could get it.

I have indeed seen it and it makes me giggle.

I never got to the end of Dead Rising... Missed out on some gamerpoints there, I guess.
And, I apologise for not reading the last 25 pages, so I dunno if it's come up, but.. if it has, can someone sum up the guild's general feeling on Oblivion?  

[[Sanity_is_for_the_Weak]]

I just bought it two months ago for $15. I think it's great, there's a lot to do, the world is huge, lots of weapons and variations. The guilds are a great part of the game, I became master of all of them. You don't even have to do the main story if you want. The game can easily suck 100 hours out of your life.  

[General Awesome]

It's taken about 300 from mine. sweatdrop Haven't played it for a while, though.  

[Hoxtalicious]

MGS4 truly is the hallmark of how to over hype a game, make it extremely boring and over the top.

And Konami hands out oral sex to all the reviewers in the world because this game blows.  

[General Awesome]

And here I thought over-hyping couldn't get much worse than Halo 3.  

[Hoxtalicious]

Halo 3 is just a piece of s**t that people seem to blindly like.  

[[Sanity_is_for_the_Weak]]

Mac, you point to one popular FPS that doesn't anything away from Halo 3. Halo damn pioneered FPS on the consol, and it was amazing. And although Halo 3 just isn't as great is we thought because it's mostly the same old stuff from the last two games, the map editor and the recording system are great additions.

You seem to be forgetting games such as 007: Goldeneye and the original Perfect Dark. If Halo "pioneered" console FPS gaming, what the hell did these games do?

Drat, you beat me to it.

All Halo did was sell XBox consoles when they weren't selling enoug black boxes. The N64 pioneered console shooting with the titles mentioned by Caleidah. The PS 1 had the solid Medal of Honour and I'm sure that the Dreamcast also had a good shooter, even Half-Life 1 was almost released for it.

Halo sold units, it presented nothing new. Halo 2 is more of the same. Halo 3 has yes, Forge and the ability to record people tea bagging one another, but really now? I hardly call it innovation when compared to most current on-line games and the fantastic Garry's Mod.
