New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

as opposed to a little warpath surfin' right?

haha, I see your point

I'd still rather say that I was discussing my team than making that though

I have been playing the Batman game for a bit and I must say it is fun but I just feel like batman is too slow. the controls are awkward.


I am just buying time until this comes out!

Red Dead Redemption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dead_Redemption)

I bought God of War III last week and beat it in 4 days. And I don't mean 4 days of doing nothing but playing the game, I played about 2 hours a day for the first 3 days and then maybe 4-5 hours the last day since I knew I was close to beating it.

It was fun and the graphics were amazing, but just like with Bioshock 2 the game was just way too easy and short. I really need to just start using Gamefly.

I have been playing this game called Operation Flashpoint, it is not really that new but it is the most realistic Combat simulation game I have played. It has huge maps containing contaminated areas which make it almost impossible to sneak up on people...you are not just going to play Rambo and run around killing everybody. You have to low crawl; you have use cover and concealment and you have to play as if your life depended on it. If you get shot in the left arm...you lose use of your left arm. If you get shot in the leg...you lose use of your leg...you get shot in the head... (Insert witty rhythmic phrase here). It has many more features that I just don't have time to list. This is hands down the best first person shooter out there from a realism standpoint. It makes COD look like an arcade game that you give your son 75 cents to go play at the mall.

Is it PC?

Speaking of MW2 anyone get the Stimulus Package?

Is it PC?

PC, X-Box 360, and PS3.

Speaking of MW2 anyone get the Stimulus Package?

Yeah, i did. I think it's ridiculously over priced at ~ $15. What is it, like 4-5 maps, and 2 of those are recycled from the first COD MW. Knew all of that going in though, didn't have a choice, Bad Company was so horrible....

Ok thanks.

BTW Xbox needs to get away from the point system it is so dumb and is just a money maker for them (which probably keeps it going). IT may cost $15 for those maps put you really have to shell out $20 to get enough points. At least PS3 just has a straight up price, no gimmicks.

Plus is Xbox live free now?

nope it's still a whoping $3 and some change a month for with the 12 month subscription. and their points system is ingenius because I know when I'm shopping on my PS3 and I see an actual $ amount I am more hesitant to purchase anything, but with my xbox my friends and I see points in the exact opposite way. We just see it as, oh it's just 300 points and not the $4 or so that equals haha.
