imma have to wait a few days to figure out to pick this up or not.

kevnb6114d ago

worst case. you are out 5 bucks.

lord_of_balrogs6114d ago

Demo comes out in a couple of days.

kevnb6114d ago

most demos are just horrible and don't showcase the end product very well.

Darkeyes6113d ago

Didn't IGN US give it a 7.5? That 1 point is a drastic difference between reviews from the same site.
I was gonna go for Prototype, but after the mixed reviews, I am going for Red Fraction Guerilla... Infamous +RFG will be enough to last until decent titles start to show up.

zoneofenders6113d ago

I have beat this 3 game.
my opinion
Infamous 8.5 > Red faction 8> prototype 7

i really cant recommend protoype to anybody. not at full price.

kevnb6113d ago

its pretty ridiculous... but anyway why would you let reviewers make the decision for you? You wouldn't do it if it were music or a movie, why a video game? Video game reviews are nice, but they aren't the bible, read the reviews to get an idea what the game is like, not to assign it a score.

MicroSony6113d ago

Just to let you know, i have a Xbox360 a PS3 and a WII.

If you have a PS3, i recommend both. Two different game, Pure Style(inFamous) or Pure Gore(Prototype).

If you have a 360, don't bother, get Prototype.

Anyway, its a good year to be a gamer...

MicroSony6113d ago

The proof, i'm a old gamer with really strange taste.

I like resistance 1 but not the second.
I like Two human but not Halo 3.
I like Dark Sector but not Gears of War.

Do you understand anything...

The only reviewer i can follow, its me.

You won't regret picking it up - huge game

kevnb6114d ago

the us ign review dogged it for being too chaotic and too hard, lol.

dragunrising6113d ago

It's curious how there is so much discrepancy between the two scores. How can one reviewer say its great and another decent? The visuals especially are a point of contention. There is so much discordance between IGN US's score and the rest of metacritic, I wonder if the reviewer hated the game and reflected that in the review. Currently the game is resting at 91% on metacritic for PS3 (sans US PS3 score). Fishy? I think so.

Also, the IGN AU review was much more indicative of what to expect in the game and F. U. N. rather than a reflection on faults.

Syronicus6113d ago

It looks a little dated in terms of graphics but the game play looks good. I don't go by scores but the videos and screen shots help guide me when it comes to rental status or purchase. This looks like a great rental to me.

DiLeCtioN6114d ago

erm just a quick poll, who is getting this game?

Agree for YES:Disagree for NO.

PS a demo would have been great jeez...

user94220776113d ago

I'm going to try out the demo and see how's it like. I hope it's crap which it probably is by the looks of the reviews, so I don't have to pay or rent for this game.

*Goes to play inFamous on the Triple*

kewlkat0076113d ago

So this game must not be fun...then

Eiffel6113d ago

Exclusive titles get a more focused review, than most multiplat titles. Not to mention exclusive titles based on review sites give charity scores. Despite a titles huge flaws.

callahan096113d ago

I never trust reviews. Too Human and Haze both got beat up pretty badly in the reviews and I enjoyed them both a lot.

Ranking The Coldest, Most Ruthless Protagonists In Gaming

Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.

cloganart598d ago

I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.

Armyofdarkness599d ago

Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1

bunt-custardly599d ago

Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos681d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto680d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger88680d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies680d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
