Done with AC2... the end was a bit :idk:

I really dug the glyph puzzles, that was a neat addition. I wish the game forced your hand a bit more, it was sorta like mgs4 in that sense.
You could sneak around like an assassin...or you could just walk around tearing shit up everywhere you went. It didn't really matter.

I get giving the player freedom, but when given the option to stalk an npc for a few minutes while he circles around his route in order to perform the perfect sneaky execution or just charging him right away and stabbing him in plain sight, I'd think most players would take the latter.

Still, very enjoyable, 2 thumbs up...a great first game of the new year.

Just read IGN's "hands-on" for No More Heroes 2 and am pretty psyched about it.

The great points of the original were great...but there were some missteps, which have supposedly been eliminated for the sequel. Anyway, killer franchise if you haven't checked it out. Vintage gaming meets new gaming.

i'm a weirdo but i'm playing Earthbound on my SNES emulator and it's an awesome game.
I know that it's not exactly visually stimulating but I'm enjoying it. And I just beat Super Mario Bros. Wii with my friends. Getting all the secret coins was kind of disappointing. No secret ending or anything.. I don't think.

I just recently beat Earthbound on my SNES emulator. Such a fantastic game. You can't really explain why it's so good, you just have to play it to understand. Kind of like the "Loveless" album.

Exactly! I just got the chick to join my team and I'm just so intrigued. Don't spoil the ending for me!

It's a shame that NoA won't re-release Earthbound for virtual console. The whole series is a masterpiece.

Indeed. I'm playing Mother 3 right now on a GBA emulator. Good stuff.

Madworld looked pretty sick...I need to rent it soon.
Playing through dragon age origins right now...it's kinda mreh, it reminds me of LOTR mixed with final fantasy, standard rpg stuff.

Can't wait for Fallout New Vegas, it's being developed by the original fallout team for you purists (Fallout 1/2, not the elder scrolls team that did 3)

i way to in love with dragon age
:picard:
i'm a huge fucking dork

super pumped for fallout new vegas. has anyone else been to the official site that has nothing on it?
http://www.falloutnewvegas.com/
or does my computer just blow?
i'm interested to see where the original team will go with it. personally i felt the elder scrolls team stayed pretty close the orginals.
the real question is
how will they fit dog meat into the game?
