Saints Row owns the shit out of GTA. Car's are nice and arcady, they don't feel like you're driving on ice,
the driving actually allows for high speed chases, and doesn't make going faster then 40 mean you will
take half a mile of sliding to stop. The controls are nice and responsive, they favor gameplay instead of
realism, as they should, in GTA 4 it feels like you input a command and then wait until the character
decides he should move, and even then he moves the way a real character would move, by making a half
circle when you turn right for example because of inertia, Euphoria is fun in crashes but in gameplay
it just feels like there is a lag and disconnectedness between your controls and the actions
on screen. SR2 animations may not look that good, but they feel nice and direct.

The story is better, where's as rock star sees it necessary to overexpose the shitty (unfunny) caricatures
of characters that roam their games, which in turns means listening to a lot of shit that is supposed to
make them looks funny, stupid, or whatever, but comes of as unoriginal filler from writers
not apt enough to actually make dialog worth listening or a create enough story to fill the
cut scenes. The courtroom scene at the beginning of SR2 overshadows anything rockstar
has done since VC.

The character customization is one of the best I have seen, there are so many options and a good
deal of them really do give the character something unique. Unlike the shitty customizations in games like
mass effect and fallout 3 for example, where most options will just make you look like a freak, and only a
few really contribute to a distinct look.

And most important thing, the game understands fun, within the ****ing first few minutes you're already
shooting shit. When I came on land the first thing I did is ****ing shit up, I don't know why but this game
really put's you in that mental state, it's like playing the 2d GTA games again. There are no excessively long
tutorial mission, it's you, a car and population waiting to be massacred.

I won't grade it, because I have not played it enough to know if it stay's fun or go's down the drain
and/or becomes repetitive and shite like FC2 for example. But **** it was such a pleasant surprise.

The story in Saints Row 2 is shite, it's supposed to be funny when in fact it's just infantile, at least Rockstar care about lines and delivery and the quality of the acting. As for the car handling, I'd rather have GTA's cars, than cars where it it's so arcadey to control you literally can't press your sideways button without the car spinning out of control. Direct? Yes, practical, no. I'm just glad I didn't pay for this shower of crap.
 
SR2 is a FUN game, whereas GTA4 is a GOOD game.

SR2 just has more going for it in terms of ****ing around in coop. That's fun.
GTA4 is just a very good game.

Yeah okay you lost me there. SR2 doesn't HAVE a ****ing story. The dialogue consists solely of wisecracks and one-ups, and the only direction the 'plot' goes is revenge revenge bitch **** gangsta drugs revenge. The characters have exactly 0.5 dimensions and none of them are even remotely interesting, but hey it's okay because THEY'RE TOTALLY BADASS and you can make your guy sound like a Guy Richie movie reject (which admittedly was kind of neat).

I mean damn, I enjoyed the game well enough, but I'm amazed at how much SR2 gets away with just because people are butthurt over GTA IV not being in line with their expectations. Objectively speaking it's a pretty ****ing average game with an AWFUL engine that belongs on the original Xbox. For christ's sake, it still lagged just as badly as the first game on 360 and looked pretty much the same. Not to mention it was basically the same city. How lazy is that?
 
Armored Core For Answer 7/10

Quite a fun game , I had a good time making new NEXTs and decals for said mecha , but the story was bland and so was the terrain. The combat makes a ton of leet sauce flow through your veins if you can pull off some quick kills but on a few occasions it can be frustrating i.e when attempting to destroy a large foe whom has a bajjilion rocket launchers (the rockets lock-on too). In addition turning seems to be slow , but this may just be my NEXT set up (might need to balance it with a few more stabalizers).

In short I think its one of the better mech games of this generation (im looking at you , Chromehounds).
 
Left 4 Dead: 93/100.

Very fun and engrossing. It would have gotten a 10 had there been more a story and some more guns. I wish there were some more explosives after all weapons should be relatively easy to acquire after a zombie apocalypse. The Versus mode is also very fun.

World at War: 85/100.

The single player was quite a bit a fun--on par with COD4. The multiplayer is more of the same of COD4 with new weapons and new maps. The guns however sound like crap, they remind me of the cap guns i played with as a kid. All in all if feels more like a high quality mod or expansion pack than an actual game.

Far Cry 2: 86/100

Contrary to what other people think, FC2 was one of my top favorite games, ever. The graphics are more appealing to me than Crysis and the animations are the best I have ever seen. I wish the story would have been actually more linear. Sure the open endedness (word?) added to the different ways you could complete each objective but the traveling from the center town to each mission and back again got tiring very quick, I would have preferred you go to your objective then from there go to your next. The map editor is also fun making explosions but i want to punch Ubisoft in the face for not putting an adequate SDK in with the game. The Dunia engine could make marvelous mods but the devs were to lazy to be able to add AI to a map.

One of your best ever games? Jesus you can't have played many games then.
 
Finally got a computer that can run COD 4 without lagging.

LOVED it.

9.5/10
 
GTA IV 8.5/ 10

so I finally got around to trying this out at a friends house and I absolutely love it...I dunno wtf people are on about "realism"...it's slightly less cartoony than the previous ones, but realistic? far from it...and also I really liked the new approach...sounds/graphics/physics etc. are wonderful...it gets marks down simply because I haven't played enough of it yet to tell if the story goes bonkers down the line or if it get really repitive(I did a good handful of story missions and found it to be pretty varied)...but mostly because of the steep system specs...it ran "ok" on my friends computer which is a rather beefy system(plays Farcry 2 with almost everything maxed without a hitch) and in certain conditions(e.g. Rainy night ) frames would drop pretty low. but I can't wait till I finally have the money to upgrade my comp. then I will certainly get this game...I'm even tempted to buy it(my friend's was pirated), problems is the live/social club shit needed...ugh...2 accounts to get 1 game running? stupid.
 
Fallout 3 9.5/10

A marvelous game, with great story and even better atmosphere. Definitely one of the best games on last year.
 
Donkey Kong 64 - 10/10

This was one of my favourite games as a youngster, and it still is to this day. I just unlocked Diddy Kong which means I'm not that far into it, but it's still bloody fantastic. I recommend everyone plays it! :D

Left 4 Dead - 10/10

Pesh, CyberMan, Kamikazie, and meself on Blood Harvest. Enough said.
 
Soul Calibur 4: 8/10
After Guitar Hero (and err... Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine) came up against the problem that only one person in the house is actually pretty good at it and because Singstar only cuts it if you're drunk, it's nice to have a lounge multiplayer where everyone is pretty evenly matched. It's not a triple A title once everyone has left the room though, with story particularly leaving a lot to be desired (lolvader). Most of my single play time has been spent playing dress-up in the character creator, which is saying something either about the quality of solo-play, or my need to invest in some entertaining Matel products.

-1 for silly boob physics. Though I'm tempted to reinstate for the ability to give male characters female character animations. Mince Mince Mince.

I dug that out the other day and the ****ing thing didn't work and now I'm upset again because you reminded me how great it is!:frown:

Down with comma!
 
Call of Duty 5, has to be the best game this year, brilliant in every way, you even speak!
10/10
 
Can from now on, we just put down the name of the game and everyone can just assume you rated it between 8-10 out of 10. Man this is worse than going through the ratings at metacritic...
 
Fallout 3 - 8/10

So. I believe I "reviewed" this a while back after hiring it out for a night, something to the effect of "it sucks." Suffice to say, one night isn't enough. The game is a shit-ton better when you're not rushing through the dialogue and just looking for things to kill. Has it's issues, but overall a pretty damn solid open-world game, and in many ways the game Oblivion should have been.

Kind of wish I had it on PC though, Xbox controls suck a bit. :(
 
Fallout 3 (360) - 8/10

Now that im actually giving it a shot, im slowly becoming sucked in.

In a way its a little...too open, as in you become overwhelmed with the 'where the hell am I supposed to go now?', and the map is pretty laughable if you follow it through the metros as it tells you to do so, it can be damn confusing to get somewhere that is just cms away on the map. And running into constant blockades of rubble when you can practically throw a stone at the building you need to get to is so damn frustrating *kicks level designers*.

Although I guess it adds to the sense of apocalypse.

I dont like the floating feeling when you move around, you just seem to hoover across the ground as if you have the world's best suspension. Yes almost every FPS game does this but it just feels so much more promenent.

Even so, I cant stop playing now that I have my power and recon stealth armour. Oh and the sheishkabab sword is unstopable.
 
Finished my second night of FO3 on the PC. I am kinda surprised I can't pull myself away from it. Usually I lose interest in singleplayer games pretty quick, but it doesn't seem to be the case with this one. It looks very good. The visuals aren't stunning in a Crysis kind of way but they are full of detail and atmosphere. I like the story even though it a bit cliche (find yer dad!) and the sidequests are interesting too. I don't even skip through the talking parts since the voice acting is a lot more varied then in Oblivion. I've spent about 70% of my time exploring and talking to people, something I wasn't expecting. The other 30% is entertaining as well. VATS is fun. I love the graphic detail of it. Flying eyeballs ftw! Some glitches, especially with the pathing of NPC's, can be a tad irritating, but I didn't encounter any showstoppers yet. All in all, it's worth my money so far. I'd say it's an 8.5/10 at least atm but that grade could become higher over time.
 
Mirror's Edge 7.5/10
Original and Innovative? Not really. Don't get me wrong. The game is gorgeous and i enjoyed it very much. You'll especially enjoy playing this if you are a fan of The Matrix franchise. However, i have already been spoiled by this type of gameplay from mods such as AHL, The Opera and The Specialists.
 
I tried the demo and thought it was really fun, would you recommend buying Mirror's Edge?
 
Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway - 10/10

After picking it up months later and finally finishing it it made me cry at the end. Automatic 10.
 
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 - 2/10

The AI can see through walls, and hear you when you're moving at 0.0000001 mph? They turn the corner and fire at you before they've even turned to look at you...
 
Soul Calibur 4 - 9.5/10

Easily one of the most addictive games I've ever played. Gets extremely hard too after a bit.

Yoshimitsu rules :p
 
Descent - 8/10

Still fun after 14 years, but there are a couple of enemies that are really annoying.
