If you like puzzle/platformers it's a good one. Unique style ftw.

so I decided to play The Saboteur next and I played for 90 minutes and very impressed so far. Its a cheap GTA clone in Paris during World War 2. The controls are slow and the aiming is worse then GTA's but so far so good. Loving the way the world is black and white only showing red, and then as you rid the city of Nazis more colors start to show up.

Aiming is worse than GTA? Ugh. I thought it was manual aiming like most 3rd person shooters?

Maybe its because I haven't played it in a while, but dont you manually aim in GTA IV?

No, it's all lock on. Although I think you can manually if you barely squeeze the left trigger, which is impossible in a hectic firefight. Otherwise everything is lock on and you press up (or down if your controls are inverted) to go for head shots. It sucked balls and was antiquated well before GTA4 released.

I picked up DJ Hero at TRU today for $40.

In that case the gunfire is like MGS4.

Good.

It's on my list after Bound in Blood and Metro 2033 for the 360.

I'm playing Blur on PS3 right now as well.

o dude. I completely forgot about Metro 2033. I'll play that one after The Saboteur. LOL I still need to play Fallout 3 as well.

From what I understand that game is going to take up quite a bit of your time. Another reason why I don't like more traditional RPG's. I'd rather play five, even ten, good games with a short to decent length than waste 80+ hours playing one game. Sure, if you only buy a few games a year then those types of games are great for you. But when you buy as many games as I do it's not an option.

Bad company is my favorite game of all time.

I finished off Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood today. What should I play next on the 360? I've been playing Blur on PS3.

1) Saboteur
2) Metro 2033
3) Bioshock 2
4) Singularity

I'm leaning towards Metro 2033 because I know that's probably the least quality one on the list and I'd like to plow through it.

Least quality? I've heard Metro 2033 is cool and it's rated higher than Saboteur and the same as Singularity.

Play Bioshock 2. Game is sweet as fuck, not as good as the first but good none the less. I reviewed it in my thread. Metro 2033 is actually decent length compared to those other 3. With The Saboteur Ive played for 5 hours and im still on Act 2 and they have 5 acts total in the game. Pretty good length considering I haven't done a single side mission which are optional and can be completed even after you beat the main storyline. I'm thinking 15 to 20 hours to beat this game. Its not bad at all, just a lot of the missions feel the same, and with no taxi's in this game I cant just teleport where I want to go. I have to drive all the way there.

I'd say Metro 2033. And play in Russian, not English. Use English subtitles. I heard the Russian VA is MUCH better than the English.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

The gameplay of 2033 did not do it for me at all.

I'm finishing up R&C: A Crack in Time, then might play through some of Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal so I can determine which game is my favorite.

I also want to play Batman: AA and get Dead Space back from my friend since I haven't played those since soon after their release.
