This is my personal GOTY so far, over ME3. Great game that brings something new/different to the market.
I just hope they make KZ4 more like KZ2. That was a great, unique shooter. KZ3 was influenced too heavily by COD.
If somebody wants to tell me that they didn't care much for Arkham City, that's fine. Different people, different opinions, and all that But nobody who understands video games would try to argue that it's "terrible." That's just trolling, and you'll get no hit from me. Better luck next time.
No. The opposite of this in fact. Ornstein and Smough is my favorite boss fight of all time. Epic.
I waited a few after the game came out before I bought Dishonored. When the consumer reviews for the PS3 version came back positive, then I went ahead and bought it, and it's been as good as advertised so far.
The important thing, though, is that I will never pre-order another game that had any association with Bethesda ever again. I'm not boycotting them per se, but I'll never trust them enough for a pre-order.
Yeah, I expected to see MGS4 to 360 somewhere on this list.
MGS4 did the same thing.
Agree. I didn't have the problems with Skyrim that many did, but I'm never preordering another game that has any association with Bethesda at all after their last few outings.
RE4 is exactly should have been the new normal for this franchise. Old-school survival horror is a small niche market, but RE4 and Dead Space showed that there's a large market out there for horror-based action games.
If you think about what RE4 and Dead Space did that made them successful, you think about great atmosphere, excellent pacing, tension, and good game mechanics (RE4's controls are dated now, but they were good at the time).
RE5 had none ...
Glad to see this one getting ripped. Critics went too easy on RE5, but better late than never.
Dead Space has been that way since day one, so it's hardly unheard of.
Edit: Rainbow Moon also had a lot of microtransaction add-ons, but that one is a little different. Nobody can possibly argue that Rainbow Moon wasn't a tremendous value for $15, and I could see somebody buying one of the XP packs just to say thanks to the developer.
Another article that requires 10 different clicks or so to get through. That desperate for page views?
Not really "frightening," but it had fantastic atmosphere. Something that RE5 completely lacked.

Your 30 mb of bandwith has literally nothing to do with lag or lack thereof. I played online (Killzone 2, Motorstorm, BC2) for a couple of years on a 256K DSL connection and had no more lag than anybody else. Now that we've got decent broadband -- 10 up, 2 down -- I can download stuff way faster, but lag is the same.
Your ping, on the other hand, matters a lot.
Edit: Actually, the one place where bandwith matters is if so...
I'm sure there are women who are good at games, just like I'm sure there are women who can parallel park. It's just they're few and far between.
I really enjoyed getting the platinum for this game. It took a while, but never felt like a chore.
Wasn't going to buy it anyway.
I agree that I'd like to see more Elena and flesh out some of that backstory a bit.
That said, I loved U1, U2, and U3 almost equally, and I'd definitely buy a U4 even if it was just more of the same.
I throroughly loved Uncharted 3. IMO it's every bit as good as Uncharted 2. Sorry you didn't like it.
Edit: For the record, I didn't actually read your article. If you think Uncharted 3 features "weak shooting and poorly-designed levels," then it's probably not worth my time to read the rest of what you had to say. No hit for you.
The first DLC got so-so reviews. The second one got panned. With all the other games out there, I'm not sure why you don't just find some other game to play instead of worrying about mediocre DLC.
