Perfect Dark Zero was definitely underwhelming but it was the hit that Microsoft needed to sell the 360 at launch, at least until Gears of War released. Kameo also helped, and it was a satisfying game.
There was nothing wrong with Viva Pinata either, most people just think that it's something for kids and immediately write it off (Though the same people get excited for Modnation Racers...). After all, a game about raising creatures in order to receive more diverse and exotic sp...
The only reason we have Halo today is because of Perfect Dark. Bungie has admitted that they were heavily inspired by Perfect Dark.
It won't be the same playing it now. The controls are archaic and the frame rate is horrible. But it was the game to own at it's time.
@3.1
An emulated Perfect Dark won't look nearly as good. They are redoing all the textures for the XBLA release. It would have taken all of 5 seconds to google that. Rare may not have t...
PS3: It only does everything.
I guess we won't be giving Heavy Rain or God of War III a 9.5 either.
Yet another N4G poster that has nothing better to do than bash games he hasn't played.
The demo does the game no justice, I can't even hold on to my copy of the game because everyone in my dorm keeps borrowing it. I haven't heard a single complaint about the game yet.
It's not often that we get a GOTY candidate on the first week of the year.
God of War Collection probably has the two easiest platinums ever. I only need to finish the 5 hour playthrough for GOW1. Not hard with infinite magic.
Yes, there are definitely better FPSs out there. Borderlands is one of them. MAG is not however. The beta for it was highly disappointing, at least for me.
Bethseda isn't making the Fallout MMO. Interplay is.
Blizzard has the better track record of the two anyway. There hasn't been a bad Blizzard game for as long as I can remember, whereas Bethseda published Rogue Warrior and WET.
Deus Ex 3 footage should show up there too.
I'm hoping for Starcraft II, Diablo III, or Last Guardian.
2009 releases so far:
Paid $60 for Bayonetta
Will pay $40 or less for Darksiders
Will pay $20 or less for Dark Void
Guess this is our first dud of the year, pity it had to be so soon.
I'm gonna file Dark Void under the same place as Bionic Commando, Turok, Too Human, Far Cry 2, Fracture, etc. All of them have a great hook, but none were executed properly. Dark Void is better than the rest though.
I can't say I care much for what little story I saw in the demo though. When the dialogue starts off thus, I cringe a bit:
"What is that thing?" Immediately followed by...
"Can it fly?"
Why would anyone's ...
They gave 358 a 36/40, so I'll wait for more reviews before I decide if this is good. 358 was ok, but repetitive as hell.
Comes with Home already installed!
Bayonetta and Borderlands are good, but I unfortunately didn't have the cash to buy Darksiders today, as I just picked up Uncharted 2 as well.
It's too soon for KH3. He's already said the next KH game after 358, BBS, and Coded will likely not be KH3.
Chrono Break or Dissidia HD.
Fantastic game. But, it sort of came out in 2008.
MGS3 > MGS > MGS2 > MGS4
Metal Gear Solid 3, I will admit, I underappreciated at the time. My used copy crapped out on the final battle often and it took perfect shots for me to beat it without the game crashing. But, looking back, MGS3 is perfection. The story stands amazing on it's own, because you actually care about The Boss, EVA, and Naked Snake. The opening mission, which sets up the rest of the game, was executed perfectly. I disliked the game when I first be...
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (PSP) – 10/9/9/9
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (DS) - 9/9/9/9
I can't trust their BBS review. 358 was ok at best, it got repetitive really fast.
Diddy Kong Racing has already been ported to the DS. It won't ever see light outside there or maybe Virtual Console, as Nintendo obviously owns the rights to the "Kong" franchise.

If Conker sees a release on Xbox Originals I wouldn't be unhappy, the game gets a lot of hate that it doesn't deserve. Sure the swearing was toned down, but the graphics were excellent for the original Xbox, and rivaled 360 launch games. It was all around superior to the original, IMO.
