New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

Just finished Mass Effect 2 and it was alot better than I expected, would definetly recommend it.

Tried Dante's Inferno and if you like God of War its worth a rental, lots of boobs is a plus, but gameplay isn't as smooth.

Picked up MAG also and really like it so far. If you like online-FPSs it is worth a look as well. Slow to begin with until you level up to the 256 player maps. Nice character customization, as far as play style, and more strategic than MW2.

Never really played God of War, but I rented Dante's Inferno, played it for about 5 hours and took it back. Once you get past how cool looking Hell is, you're pretty much over it.

I hated Dante's Inferno.

Well, I finished Bioshock 2 way too quickly. It was pretty good, but it's hard to live up to the first one.
My biggest complaint is probably that some of the plasmids actually made the game too easy because I could just fire them off and let them do a lot of the work for me.

I'm of the same mind set as the game was really good, but the first Bioshock was something so different and the sequel just didn't do enough new. I think you can kind of tell where they might go if they do another one with the ending I got, but I've heard there's six possible endings so I'll have to check the other one's out at some point to see how different they truly are.

I reached prestige last night on MW2 so moving on to new games, I am going to crunch on Uncharted 2. After that I don't know.

Borderlands is a fantastic game. It's a mix between Diablo II and an FPS. I highly recommend it!

Wow thanks I hear they are going to follow it up with Madden 2013 and don't forget the prequel Madden 2011.

There seems to be a lot of good games coming out that I'd def. play but because I don't do the whole shell out 60 on release day I prob won't be playing a few of these for a while. But Heavy Rain, Just Cause 2, GOW 3, Splinter Cell Conviction (yet another reason for me to buy a 360 lol) and Bad Company 2 all look great. I still haven't even bought Assassins Creed 2 or Uncharted 2 yet, I think I'm gonna wait for both to go down because I have the first A.C. and Uncharted and I haven't finished either. I'm playing the original A.C. real slow because I get burnt out on repeating the same damn path everytime I kill a boss in one section of a city.

AVP is decent, but unless you're a hardcore fan of the series or have money to burn it's not a game I would pay full price for as it's pretty average.

on the plus side it does pack some good jump out of your seat moments when playing the human campaign.

Anyone play Heavy Rain yet?

IT is getting good reviews may pick it up this week. Hate to pay full price though.

I downloaded the demo for it and played it. I thought it was kinda cool but it took a little getting used to. Also there's some parts you can't play if you don't have Sixaxis on your controller. I'm playing with a Logitech controller and it didn't have Sixaxis on it so I had to turn on my old controller where the buttons are mostly stuck and use that to get through this one controller motion part in the demo.

It felt weird but at the same time it was interesting. Doubt I'll buy the game but it's definitely playable. I'm not sure how to describe it because I can't think of any game off the top of my head that's similar to it but I thought it was unique to put it best.

EDIT: And definitely d/l the demo and try it before you buy the game just so you kinda get an idea of what it's like before you shell out 60 bucks for it.

The game is absolutely trippy so far and at times really brutal to play just because of the nature of the story. It is probably just a single play through for me because I don't know if I could go through some of these situations multiple times.
