halfway through Vanquish and I'm really enjoying the japanese take on Gears/halo

last time i had this much fun with a game was with Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast
which is bitter sweet,,,,just bc it seems that Vanquish, much like Bayonetta and jet grind radio will most likely never have another new installment to the series released bc Sega Has no idea how to market anything

So I know that some of you know that I picked up Brink on the Amazon Gold Box sale (twigg, just let me know when you want to play and I'll be on.) But I also looked at the other low priced games, and for $10 bucks, I couldn't pass up DarkStarOne: Broken Alliance.

First, a disclaimer. I am someone who played both Tie Fighter, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance religiously. Ever since Alliance, I've been wanting a sci-fi flight simulator, and this is the closest I have come to it. I've only completed the first three missions, but I'm very entertained, especially considering its low price and that it is a port of a PC game from five years ago.

I've read the reviews. Its a repetitive game. But so are a lot of games- I point to the first Mass Effect as one of those, especially for side missions. But so far I am loving it and its so worth the money I paid for it, and I'm not even that far in it.

Make sure you download the free Agents of Change DLC if you haven't already. It's only free for a few more days I think.

I've been wanting to play it but my Live account is suspended. As soon as it;s back I'll let you know.

Has anyone else played the Driver:SF demo? Man, this game has bargain bin written all over it. The game play is pretty fun. It reminds me a TON of the Wheelman. But the voice acting might be the worst I've ever heard in a current gen game.

Just beat Lego harry Potter. Its probably the best lego game so far, but man did they rush the story. I kinda wish they would've done each year separately.

interesting description. its that good huh?

The actual gameplay of Vanquish is nice and crisp going at 100 MPH but everything else about the game is terrible.

Popped in Medal of Honor to do some multiplayer trophy whoring today. I had a couple of good streaks going, but I couldn't get all seven offensive strikes. That's probably the toughest of the bunch and might prevent me from getting my platinum.

the gameplay is a lot of fun, but the story is pretty stupid; about as stupid as either the Gears of War or Halo storylines, but without taking itslef as seriously

Yeah, it's a pain. It took me forever to finally get it, and when I did, it was pure luck. I happened to get a streak going when it kept spawning the other team in the same spot and I was able to drop my streaks right on them.

IDK I actually like Gears storyline. Its nothing special, but I've always enjoyed it.

I haven't been on a team that has been able to corral the opposing team like that unfortunately.

I honestly thought I had it today because some 'tards kept going to the same back corner to camp out which gave me at least two kills when I started dropping strikes on their asses. However, I ran out of ammo, and I wasn't able to pick up a kit before an opposing player ran up on me.
