That was completely unexpected, so I'm thrilled to bits that it was chosen. Goes to show that when you shake things up, play around with gameplay conventions and offer fresh new scenario's to experience, the effect can be everlasting on the player.
For all its various shortcomings; Heavy Rain is unforgettable.
and made it a critical and commercial hit. 'Nuff said.
but some scenes contained gasp-inducing graphical prowess.
Moments like running around outside that abandoned electrical station looked astonishing. Walking around in the mansion during that party. And of course, all the ARI environments.
Bugger - I forgot the nightclub scene. All those people!
Alan Wake looked pretty weak during the daytime sections. They exposed a lot of its graphical shortcomings.
At night however, Alan Wake often looked the business.
The game that is. Not the man.
So Revolution are making new Broken Sword games for PSN, is that it? Because if so then that would be the greatest thing...like...EVER! I'm a die-hard Broken Sword fan so this means a whole lot to me. Broken Sword + exclusive games on my favourite console = orgasms of earth shaking magnitude.
Imagine if they made them like the first two: 2d style with hand drawn environments. Rolf Saxon back in the fold as George Stobbart (not that he ever left or was replaced or an...
apart from number 4. In fact, the first two are indisputable classics of the point 'n' click adventure genre. Terrific mystery yarns in their own right, but also two of the funniest games I've ever played. I've been in stitches playing Broken Sword before; mostly because of George Stobbart.
So really, if you enjoy adventure games in general then you do not want to miss out on them.
Yeah, not buyin'.
That's the SSX we all know and love. Damn, such fond memories of Tricky. It was like Jet Set Radio, the Snowboarding version. And without the psychopathic cops hot on your tail.
I'm thrilled to bits they beat those cheatin' thugs the Dutch.
The whole world wants SSX Tricky, current-gen style. We get a try-hard, Call Of Duty-wanabee instead!
Give me wacky characters, colourful day-glo settings and ludicrous tricks to pull off. Not this...crapfest.
I prefer surprise buttsecks.
Imported my save from Mass Effect to ME 2 on the 360.
Yet I far prefer playing games on the PS3 and was thinking of buying ME 2 again for it. That way I can import my save to ME 3.
Hmmm
only thing for me to debate now is whether to get it for the PS3 or the 360.
He blatantly did not play the game. That final level was essentially one gargantuan boss battle.
I don't regret it; I loved (nearly) every moment of the game. The perfect antidote to your typical gung-ho, colourless first person-shooter. It sits proudly in my collection alongside my other PS3 games.
Plus...Andy Serkis.
I read that Nolan intends to make The Dark Knight Rises the final film in his trilogy and then after that call it a day on the Batman franchise. Bale has stated that he will only work with Nolan on any other Batman films, so if the studio execs want to keep making Batman films they'll have to do it without Nolan or Bale; which of course will be the most redundant thing ever.
This is good news. Nolan obviously knows when to quit while he's ahead and by doing this h...
But Uncharted 3 just about edges it over Mass Effect 3 I think. Although if Tali's reveal is ever officially confirmed then I may opt for ME 3 instead. I wanna see me some strange alien wool.
Can't say I'm too fussed about Arkham City right now. If anything, I'm far more excited for Nolan's final instalment in his trilogy.
The PS3 has the lead...by a substantial margin. I mean it's bordering on the comical really.
What I'm looking forward to personally...
Xbox360
Gray Matter
That horror game on the Kinect looks interesting. Shame I don't have Kinect and never intend to.
PS3
Yakuza 4
LittleBigPlanet 2
Uncharted 3
The Team ICO Collection

I don't love him, I hate the asswipe. Anti-heroes are supposed to be likeable despite their dubious intentions. Kurt Russell in John Carpenter's Escape From New York or The Thing: THAT's how you properly construct an anti-hero. Kratos is just some petulant prick in dire need of a hug.
John Marston clearly should have won character of the year.
then I'll cream my pants come release day. Looks mad as a bag of hammers and all the better for it.
