I played about 10/15 mins of it this weekend and it plays pretty much like Fallout 3. The weapons seem a bit "meatier" but I still had my arse handed to me on several occasions by some flying bee/butterfly type things.
All in all it felt like it was on the right track to be Fallout 3.5 which most would agree is a good thing :D
as dirt cheap as Fallout 3 is you would be robbing yourself of a great game not to pick it up - even with New Vegas out in a couple of weeks.
It's not a direct sequel as far as I know just exists in the same "universe" and timeline.
Looks awesome so far.
Playing it for a bit at Eurogamer I found that rounds ended too quickly. I kinda liked the stealthy approach to the MP. Reminded me of the MP modes in the older Splinter Cell titles.
Still one of my most anticipated games, totally awesome stuff.
The whole "console wars" stuff was just fuelled by the media to sell copy(get hits) & by corporations to increase brand loyalty.
At the end of the day the PS3 and Xbox 360 are just as good as each other. Sure they have different strengths and weaknesses but they are both great systems that I would heartily recommend to anyone.
Same with the Megadrive and SNES. Same with the PS1 and N64, PS2 / GAmecube, Amiga/Atari ST etc....

Activision are just doing what other large entertainment corps.do which is find a formula that works and leverage it to the max. Just like universal or.Sony.might do with a hit.movie. not.saying its right, just the way it is really.
lol'd hard at that one :D
Mr Kotick is a modern business man pure and simple. He, as well as the heads of Blizzard, EA, THQ, Ubi are all in it for the greenbacks my friends.
There is no "how to be nice" segment on the Business School prospectus. It's about knowing your audience and product and leveraging it to the back teeth.
I agree this really SHOULD be something he keeps in the background - an evil undertone as it where - but instead he just lays it all on the tabl...
It really was surprising how well PopCap mapped them tbh. I still think touch is the best method of control but the game is still very playable on a controller :D
Now I want a PS3 port with Move support.
I respected the Hitman series but I could never play them. Same deal with me and Splinter Cell tbh... Now Freedom Fighters, that was a different story :D
I have the demo on download - really looking forward to giving it a try :D
OK man thanks for the heads up ;)
The game is fun - played it with my sons and they had a blast too. Archery is my top choice tho.
reviews are subjective - I have said it's a good collection of mini-games and every SHOULD give it a try. Always go with your own "gut" on games - reviews are just someone snapshot in time opinion.
Hope you guys enjoy Sports Champions.
Who me? Yeah of course I've played it... .how the heck could I of done a review otherwise? I spent the entire weekend on it to be honest. As I say it's a solid little mini-game bundle but it's no Wii Sports Resort. Still a collection of fun titles - especially Disc Golf and Archery.
I shall ask the same - have you played it (for more than 20 mins!)?
Each to their own opinions friends. Either way you cut it the Move is a great peripheral an...
In my review I;m going purely on my experience with the controller. I barely mention software at all other that to pick up a few points of error. I even state that it was most likely my PS Eye that was poorly adjusted.
It is a shame but software does tend to define the hardware. Look at early PS3 games. We all nkew the hardware was super powerful but people were churning out sub-standard ports of year old Xbox 360 games on it. So the system coped a bad rep. Later on in t...
I found Tumble a little frustrating but the 1:1 fidelity was awesome.
Try Flight Control HD. That works really well with the Move!
It's a reasonable collection it just can't compete with WiiSport Resort. It is almost on par with the original WiiSports tbh. Stilla solid collection of mini-games tho.
I was surprised too mate (and I work 4 the site!) but this game has been getting a lot of polar opposite reviews.
Dude I so suck at Halo - this migh thelp me out a little though... but maybe the best thing is for me to stick to Tetris ;)
You seriously need to get your hands on this game and try it. Only in playing it can you fully appreciate just how fun the thing is!
