I recently went back and tried to replay the first one now that I have an HDTV but the pacing (not to mention controls, save system, etc) just kept putting me off. I'd love to see if 2 fixes some of those issues, but I dunno. I may pick up Case Zero to audition for the sequel, if you will.
... you really think they would have worked this kind of thing out before releasing the game, right?
I'm a hoarder when it comes to getting rid of my games. I've sold a few off in the past, but always regretted it and eventually tried my best to buy them back down the road.
And I avoid buying used whenever I can, unless said game is out of print.
I meant to do ALL of the games from the Free Games pieces Rob's done that I haven't played.
The industry is such a closed cycle when it comes to the press end of things though. It really is a double edged sword - sites that break embargos or release sensitive information run the risk of being blacklisted. It's ridiculous...
Read that too quickly and saw "Giant Bombcast" :P
Just finished this last night. The title had rough edges, sure - but the upsides FAR outweighed any drawbacks to me.
If you haven't played this game, you've missed out. Pure and simple.
Did you get randomly assigned it? Or did you actually ask to review it? Just curious...
"Most"? Isn't that the whole point of MMOs? The whole carrot/stick mentality?
As awesome as it will be, Nintendo likely won't ever do this. If they were going to, they would have done so by now -- even with their historically "slow to change" stance regarding online.
That would be from "Get Rich or Die Gaming"
I actually remember liking that game. I am fully willing to think that I have the nostalgia goggles on though.
You could always do a second part to the feature ;P
We're always looking for suggestions for more games for the feature, sir. Drop us a line...
Well if you get this, you get the original too - you can swap to the old graphics with the tap of a button, essentially.
Not that I buy Japanese 360 games (obviously) but the new packaging is SO much better than it was. I hate Greatest Hits/Whatever Name You Put To It packages that are so full of windowing and crap. I hate having to try to track down a used copy of a GH title rather than buy it new because every new copy looks stupid.
I remember loving them when I originally played them. I don't know how well they'd hold up with age though. Hmm...
Never played the 64 version. I did log some time on the 16-bit one though. Ahh the days when rendered graphics were the new hotness. Killer Instinct anyone?
What's totally sad is you're probably right.
Time gets slippery when you're dealing with a zombie horde. Days feel like weeks. Years like... more years.
