picked up Limbo & shadow complex for 600 m$ points a piece

Now Who wants to PLAY X-MEN ARCADE!!!!

I will play, later. I have shit to do for the next few hours.

 

[Twigg4075]

Just beat Bulletstorm. Played for 5 hours straight today. What a fantastic FPS. Might be my favorite single player campaign for a FPS this gen.

You are nuts.

That's what I'm thinking. But I should have the game soon and be able to have my own impressions.

 

[IamMedellin]

WTF

WTF

Such an awesome game. Fucked up, but so beautiful.

<-------- see awards showcase Limbo ftw

 

[JayDizzle]

Thanks for spoiling it.

Nah, I think that part is right at the very beginning when you first start the game. Could be wrong though, it's been awhile.

I don't think the game is awful and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I don't see any way a gamer could have enjoyed the Bulletstorm campaign more than say, the Bioshock or Call of Duty 4 campaigns. Not to mention the Halo games, Borderlands, KZ series, BF:BC series, Resistance series, Condemned, FEAR series, Half Life 2 and it's expansions, etc, etc, all of which are this gen FPS games.

Strong statement from Buzzman considering the overall quality of FPS games this gen, but again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. So many amazing FPS campaigns. Couple that with the fact that every podcast I've listened to has said that the latter part of the BS campaign really comes off the rails.

Platinums for Madden 11 last week and Heavy Rain this week.

I guess I should have held my tongue for a bit. I posted that without really thinking. I stil consider it to be one of my favorite campaigns, I'd put Bioshock and Singularity over it easily, but I would have a hard time saying any of the military shooter/Halo campaigns are better then it. Hell I consider W@W campaign to be the best military FPS campaign out right now. COD4 was fun at times but it isn't something I'd hold a candle too.

My copy of Portal 2 is on its way. I just hope I don't have to wait until the end of the day to have it delivered.

I agree with you on World at War. Hell, I will take it a step further, as it is, to date, my favorite Call of Duty online. I thought a lot of the weapons required more skill to use than other games, and I loved the maps, as they favored sniping and longer range attacks. I might get groaned, but oh well. It was a challenge, and I liked it.

I'm currently playing through Crysis 2, and that's actually turning out to be a very good campaign. I'll have to do a ranking of some of my games after finishing it.

Yeah, I received my shipping email Monday morning. I haven't ordered anything from BB in a while. I can't remember if they were quick or took forever to ship. I want to say it was the latter. I'm not in a big hurry to play anyway.

 

[IamMedellin]

ok...so..

apparently the MK classic skins/fatalities codes are not universal,
so Im contemplating picking up a copy at walmart for the mileena classic and returning the game for a refund in a day or so...

I really hate these pre-order incentives

You couldn't choose in store pick-up on BB pre-orders? Lame.

I ordered mine from Amazon though. Used my credit and got it for $15.

 

[Twigg4075]

Yes it is lame.

I almost forgot how entertaining the Bad Company 2 campaign is. Besides all of the glorious explosions and destruction I love listening to Haggert and Sweetwater shoot the shit.

 

[j.hen]

FLYNN!

 

[JayDizzle]

Just beat the story for Dungeon Hunter: Alliance as a Warrior.

Ended on the 39 Level because I didn't feeling like overleveling for the rest of the night...

Seriously, you could go through the last Act and never die if you bring enough potions and leveled up the right Skills for your Character.

...I can only imagine how the producers amped up the Finale if you bring 1 or more people along with you because aside from a few pain-in-the-ass rock golems, it was cake. :shifty:

Thinking of getting a tablet for my wife (mainly for me), but don't know which are out and which are the best. Help?
