    Dead Space kind of ruined RE for me.

    They took the RE formula and improved it in.every way.

    Yeah they have taken the survival horror genre and run with it really well. DS and DS2 have just demolished RE, especially since the series has gone downhill since 4. Getting that platinum on DS2 has tided me over for the past few months, which I needed because I am already pumped for DS3 and it doesn't come out until next year.

  • I am loving LBPK, and I'm only playing the story right now. With LBP titles, the meat of the game is user created levels. Me and the wife have been playing for a couple hours, and it never got old. She never plays games, so its good to see her enjoying one.

  • My wife and daughter like LBP. It is the only game they play that is not on the Wii.

    Woo!!!! Just picked up LBPK. Can't wait to start racing around the tracks and playing on user created tracks. Also want to try to get into the creative aspect, as I haven't done that in LBP or LBP2.

    what is this?

    Some pretty sweet deals. Sadly I already have most of those.

    If not, you will still be able to get one cheaper than for 200 after the next gen is released.

  • Also, MAJOR props to Nintendo for being the first console manufacturer to FINALLY include an HDMI cable in the box with a system (Wii U). Seems like a minor victory, but it amazes me that it took this long to finally do so.

    What Is LBPK?

    LittleBigPlanet: Karting

    I love the entire LittleBigPlanet series. The never ending content, old school platforming, customization of Sackboy, ect... Karting is kind of a spinoff of the actual series, but its really good. A lot of fun, and like the other LBP games, will have never ending content due to user creations of tracks and races.

    Here is a video of some game play. He is just playing the story mode. You play the story to get the prize bubbles that you see him getting. Each of those prize bubbles unlocks customization items and other things. The meat of the game, like any LBP game, is online community offering endless game play.

    Me and the wife are going through the story in split screen, and she doesn't even play games.

    Also, you may ask... Why is he a bunny? There are so many different things you can be. Sackboy is just a character that was sewn together, and he even has a zipper on his chest. Right now I have a sombrero, mustache, and just a bunch of different stuff on my Sackboy. You can also customize your kart.

  • I have to say, I have big problems with 343. They have spent YEARS on this game and they release it unfinished for multiplayer. Customization and weapon/map choice/game type limitations that are ished on by most normal FPS. They have an XP system,but no skill system yet, so there is literally no reason to play if a friend isn't on. The servers have already crashed.

    It is really sad. I feel like I'm being toyed with.

    It's a great game with great mechanics,visuals and gameplay but the multiplayer in and of itself is leaving MUCH to be desired.

    Don't blame 343. Blame Microsoft. This is how modern gaming is now.

    Every game ships unfinished and then gets a release day patch and then several other patches along the way.

    Battlefield 3 MP doesn't even resemble the MP when the game shipped. Completely different game now.

    Wow. I didn't know that. It's so stupid. This is the first game where I have also had to download a large space from a second disc. Has this happened with other games? I think I remember it for ME3.

    Some games are doing this. Probably a texture pack or something. BF did that also.

    Is the actual gameplay in Halo 4 pretty similar to Halo 3? I have my copy but I haven't played it yet. These last few posts have dragged down my expectations. lol

    The gameplay is the perfect mixture of Halo 3 and Reach, more to the former. Multiplayer gameplay is great. It's the auxiliary stuff that bugs me. Once they get some patches and updates in, it should be top-notch.

  • Launch issues aside, which really haven't seemed bad to me at all, Halo 4 is the best shooter to come out this year IMO. I dare say it's my GotY.

  • I might as well break it to everyone. I already broke the news to Vexerr and Curgan.

    I, MarineMountie... Am buying Black Ops 2.

    Now I know I'm going to catch hell from Aussie, Hoffel, Joester, Barny, Ez, and everyone else under the sun. When I bought Medal of Honor, it was to have an arcade shooter I could just pick up and play for a few minutes. Well, the game was so terrible that Europe game distributors offered a full refund if the player brought the game back the next day. That is how incomplete and terrible the game was. I need an arcade shooter. Battlefield is still my franchise, and I hate myself for even thinking about buying an Activision product... But I still have an urge for an arcade shooter with little thought involved. Sucks that MOH is dead.

    Alright, I have my flame suit on.
