If you haven't already try Dead Rising 2. Personally loved the first one and the second one was just as fun to play. Assasins Creed: Brotherhood looks like a good rental. Dead Space 2 and Infamous 2 both figure to be good games slated for release early next year. I'm also looking forward to renting Crysis 2.

I just went back and played through Dead Space again, really looking forward to the 2nd one

Think I might trade in Medal of Honor and give Dead Rising 2 a shot. Didn't play the first one but the commercials for the new one seem pretty cool.

I've beaten that game 7 times. I absolutely can not wait until January 25th!!!

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Dead Rising, and Dead Rising 2 are like my most favorite games on this planet.

I got Dead Rising 2 for my birthday on September 26th, and haven't put it down since.

I love spooky games that give you goosebumps like that one does. The sound in that game is phenomenal.

How was Medal of Honor compared to Modern Warfare 2?

It has a lot of replay value. Multiple endings and a time limit prevents you from doing everything in one run through, etc. Also the online is pretty fun and it gives you cash to use in the game, which you need for stuff like weapons and zombrex. Just remember to balance saving survivors with the main storyline. Skimp on survivors and you'll be to weak to beat bosses. Play it to loose and the main storyline will end before you finish the game.

[quote=skinsfanthru&thru;748026]There are a couple times the single player has the frame rate drop so badly that it's almost unplayable so I've already gotten rid of it. I wasn't expecting the best game ever but I didn't expect it to be that bad.[/quote]

I ran into some serious frame rate issues during the part where you're riding ATVs and that was the final straw for me. I'm trading it back today.

I'm going to give it a shot. Hoping Medal of Honor gives a nice trade-in considering it's only a week old.

Are you guys talking Dead Rising? If so it was a fun game but it was one of those love it or hate games. It plays very different than say a Bioshock or Dead Space.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

It's more sandbox style right? That's ok with me. While I do love Dead Space I did get tired of how linear it is at times.

IT is not so much that it is the time thing, I can't remember exactly write back your feelings on it. My money is on you will at first like it but then quickly get frustrated with it. Much like my self.


It is one of the first games for 360 so lots of glitches.

You can probably get it used for like $5.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

We're talking Dead Rising 2.

did you play one?

No I didn't

this reminds me, anyone with ps3 have MAG? GREAT game.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Just bought FIFA 11, not a huge difference from FIFA 10 if you are a FIFA-head then it matters. I think about .00124% of this forum really cares about FIFA...

My next buy is probably Black Ops, simply because a good amount of my friends will buy it too. I rather play a somewhat decent game online with friends than an amazing game by myself.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

On a related note, does anyone have GameFly? Is it worth it?

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

I use GameFly on and off, it's pretty good. Popular new releases can be tough to get though.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Dead Space 2 just came out, loving it so far. It also now has multi-player which I haven't tried out yet but I've heard it's good.

Haven't played Dead Space, but heard good things. Might check out the original if I can get it for cheap.

You can probably pick up the original for pretty cheap now, it came out in 2008 I think.

Yeah it is like $20 now. Is it worth it?

oh yeah for $20, definitely

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

the single player is everything I could have hoped for in Dead Space 2 and a day off from work well used. The multiplayer is cool, but nothing remarkable. But back to the single player, I had my jaw drop a few times and I almost dropped my controller a couple times as well from getting freaked out. Playing this game with turtle beaches or something similar adds a whole different creepiness factor to the table as you hear every little whisper and claw dragging around.

LA Noire in April.

definitely looks interesting, I thought I heard it's due in May though... no?

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;780696]LA Noire in April.[/quote]

I was about to mention this. It looks pretty good, I like the idea of a detective thriller type game mixed in with a little sandbox action. It's gonna be different than R*'s GTA but also have some of the same elements in it from what I hear. I've always been a fan of the GTA series since GTA3 so I'm excited to see what that game is like.

i just got Super Mario Galaxy 2, fun game. Sometimes you just need a non-blow up the world type game.

good to know thanks

think I'll place a pre-order on Amazon

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Late last week they announced it's coming may 17th, but there lies the rub for me because even though the game looks really good, that same day is when Brink comes out and I've been waiting quite a while for that so LA Noire will have to wait.

Oh and how about Duke Nukem finally coming out!!!

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Yeah Amazon says May 17th too, for what it's worth

Well working at Gamestop we have the date as April 17th. I don't know what Amazon is doing.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

I just checked online, and the date I'm finding is May 17th. I know there was a rumor that Gamestop and other places thought it was coming out in April.

They r sometimes slow updating our computers. They still have Deus Ex coming out march 8th even though square Enix announced it'd been delayed to their 2011 fiscal year which doesn't start until April.
