I’m still getting back into the swing of things in America, but as far as I can tell there’s only one interesting game out this week: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. As a comic-book nerd and videogame nerd, I’m all over this one…except that the “Witch Hunt” DLC for Dragon Age: Origins is also out this week. Sorry Spidey, BioWare takes priority over you.
Any of you down with Shattered Dimensions? Perhaps there’s something else on your wish list for this week? Remember, with great power comes….
I am waiting for the reviews on Spidey to come out. I've been burned by the last few games that have come out starring our friendly neighborhood wall crawler… and with a release this close to Halo (haven't decided if I am taking that plunge yet) I am kind of questioning what they have going.
I have not heard much about the Spider-Man game, although it does look interesting. But I will probably rent this and check it out. I am preparing to put in my pre-order for the Halo: Reach xbox bundle (still in the final stages of making sure I'm not gonna buy this and then find out that I have to get my fiance something really nice as well to stay out of trouble). Also I will be picking up Plants vs. Zombies asap tomorrow.
Still gotta finish up Alan Wake, Afro Samurai (I will probably come back to that game later when I need a filler game that's cheap), and Army of Two with my friend whenever we get a chance to play [the A-games are dominating right now, lol].
I'm enjoying plenty of games on my iPad. Best portable game player I have ever owned.
It's an all Bioware DLC kinda day for me.
Also, NHL 11 comes out today. Yay hockey!!
i beat demons souls last weekend, so ill just be playing madden and transformers:war for cybertron
@Thundercracker: New War for Cybertron DLC came out today.
@Thunder
Isn't that supposed to be the really hard game that I hear people talking about? How was it? And how hard is it really?
that's quite amazing Thundercracker.
@smartguy What iPad games are you enjoying?
@Ray
Air Attack
Katamari (iPhone version is very playable now)
ShooterHD
Critical Wave
Final Fantasy 1 is better now as well.
@bsu
sorry guys, my schedule sucks, so i was asleep
yes thats the really hard game that everyone talks about. I have to say, that i LOVED that game. Its the most satistying feeling ive ever had finishing a game. Its not really that the game is difficult, its just terribly frustrating. If anyone decides to play that game, let me know, i will give you tips that will minimize your frustration…(start off as royalty class…use the dragon god demon soul to buy firestorm from yuria)
Its also a beautiful game and im surprised no one here has really played it
@nightshade
thanks for the heads up, ill be downloading that today (or this weekend if i cant find time)
I bought Demon Souls the week it released, it was hard to find, and have yet to beat it. I dabble with it from time to time and I'm cool with it if I never beat it. I do think that I will dedicate more time to it later this year though. I now know 2 people who have seen the end of Demon Souls so I need to see it myself.
@Thunder: No problem. There was actually a ton of DLC that came out yesterday for a bunch of different stuff. I just happened to notice that one. I still haven't played that game and chances are now that the fall releases are coming out it's gonna get lost in the shuffle for me.
I've been trying to rent Demon's Souls but Blockbuster don't have it for rent.
@rrod
if you rent it using their online service you can do it. The offer a 2 week trial. I tried it using that but didn't like it.
you can get demons souls for like 20 or 25 bucks at blockbuster
@smartguy
seriously, start over with demons souls and make your character class royalty
you start off with a cataylst, which is a magic wand…..SOOO much easier with magic
I also used the walkthrough in order to find some of the more rare items. The funny shit about demons souls is that after you beat it, you start NG+, where you start the game off over, but at a 50 percent higher difficulty…if you think its hard the first time..its stupid hard the second time around.
you can get demons souls for like 20 or 25 bucks at blockbuster
thats gamestop, not blockbuster.,cockknocker, lackluster, whatever you wanna call it
@Thundercracker
I'm curious, what makes this game frustrating? The most I've heard about it is usually people complaining about how hard it is and then cussing out the game and the developers, etc. and not really talking about why it is hard.
@bsu
You can be one shot by enemies. When you die you start a level over. No such thing as a checkpoint.
@Smartguy
Ahh…sounds like Rainbow Six: Vegas. The checkpoints were only at the end of each act, and there were only a couple acts per chapter. That was very frustrating to play on Realistic difficulty so I guess I can make that comparison for now.
My copy of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep just arrived. I totally forgot that this game was coming out this weekend. That's a criminal omission on my part.
