Random video game thoughts

[SuaveStar]

I'm finally getting to play Crackdown 2. I enjoyed the first one, so looking forward to playing it.

[Guest]

If you've played Crackdown, you've played Crackdown 2.

[dc20willsave]

Holy crap, there's going to be a Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney game.

[Venneh]

AND on the 3DS.

Bring the crazy, Japan!

Did not see him being in a legend IN SD/Raw 2011

Ha.

Austen, meet your mystery opponent

[SuaveStar]

If you've played Crackdown, you've played Crackdown 2.

Not true. Crackdown had a cartoony style, and although incredibly shallow, it was fun. Crackdown 2 is dreary looking and quite crap, with shit gun controls, and somehow loses the fun of the original.

Austen, meet your mystery opponent

Oh dear god.

And the forced addition of zombies! Don't forget those!

Why wouldn't you let me? Even the random jumping about, which was one of the best things in the first game, is just a bloody chore to do.

I've just completed the story mode of Arkham Asylum and that is one fucking good game. To the extent that I may buy my brother's old Xbox off him since he bought a shiny new one yesterday.

Fuck it. I was going to play this game till I completed the main story, but it's just more hassle than fun. I'm sending it back. Thank fuck I rented it, and didn't spend at least 30 quid on it.

What did you think of the ending?

A bit brief, but it sets up the sequel well enough. One thing I need clarifying though:

In this continuity, has The Scarecrow actually been killed by Killer Croc? We don't see him again after the attack and Joker as much as says at the end that you "fed Scarecrow to Croc". I hope not because that was, hands down, the best iteration of Scarecrow I've come across.

Indeterminate as of yet.

For this instance, I prefer to go by the old saying, "if there's no body, he's not dead."

Yeah. I agree. He was so awesome in the first, they'll definitely bring him back.

At the end of the credits, a hand will come up and grab onto the box of Titan. The hand changes between Croc, Scarecrow, and Bane.

Really?! It was always Croc in the three times I beat the game...

After being on LoveFilm (UK's version of Netflix, but with games.) for over three months, I am finally getting the chance to play Red Dead Redemption!!

Edit: An hour in, and I'm already sick of the fucking horse missions.

[James D.]

I love buying $40 cymbals for my Rock Band drum set and then one of the cymbals turns out to be defective.

[Dan]

Just got Rock Band 3. I'm loving the improved graphics and interface, but the actual setlist leaves me a little underwhelmed.

Once you get the lasso you don't need to do anymore. They are tutorials disguised as side missions.

Yeah, once I'd got a few hours in, I really enjoyed the game. I just sent it back earlier today.

Dear Fallout 3,

You showed great promise and potential. However, your main plot sorely lacked and I feel not enough emotion was expressed throughout the game. I have never had a video game ending let me down as much as you. In short, frak you.

Unceremoniously,

Ragequit.

[KnightWing]

Aren't there, like, fifteen million different endings for Fallout 3?
