jetsniper Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Resident Evil 5 demo is awesome. Basically plays just like Resident Evil 4 with improved graphics. Can't wait until it comes out, March 13th can't come fast enough. F.E.A.R 2 demo was released yesterday as well, it played really well too. Was automatically sucked into the atmosphere immediately like I was with the first game, can't wait till that comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 So I got around to playing the Halo Wars demo on Friday and it was rather....interesting. They pretty much streamlined the RTS genre so that the inevitable casual frat guys who make up 90% of the Halo community can play it. It's not so much micro-managing like most RTS's are but a simplified build, attack, destroy, pretty straight forward. I was wondering how they'd get around the fact most Halo gamers wouldn't be able to cope with a real RTS but they did a pretty a good job. Purists won't like it but I had fun with it and will probably pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsniper Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Anyone already played NHL arcade? I played the demo on the PS3, it's pretty meh. I wouldn't bother with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombTHEice Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Played it yesterday - it's funny but nothing I will play for a longer period of time. So yea, it's a bit meh. Btw. I don't get it why you've to pay something for such a game - I remember that there was a similar game included in one of the earlier NHL titles (for the PC)?

Yeah, it was in NHL 2005 but no one cared about it so they took it out. Now they put it out as DLC because they're trying to capitalize on all the positive feedback from NHL 09.

jetsniper Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ok, this thread has been pretty much dead since October, lets liven it back up to where we used to have it. 1. I now have GTA IV for 360. Stealth already told me he's down for multiplayer action whenever. 2. Who else is excited as hell for Street Fighter IV? ONLY TWO MORE DAYS!

Psycing Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have GTA IV and will probably pick up SFIV, but not right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Oh yeah, if you don't mind doing the trade-in thing, something is screwy at EB. I got almost full value back for all my games. I traded in 4 games and got $190. I was actually stunned a bit before I could tell the guy what I wanted. I've never seen trade values that high, highest I've seen is $35. Tomorrow is Family Day (stat holiday in Alberta) so I can play anytime tomorrow. Actually the next month and half or so is pretty insane for releases, that kind of late Winter/Early Spring pick-up you see after the post-Christmas dead zone. F.E.A.R 2 Street Fighter IV Killzone 2 Halo Wars MadWorld Resident Evil 5 Unfortunately, my family isn't letting me buy anything else after today until my birthday. I bought a game that I asked for last year so I ended up with 2 copies. I actually forgot I asked for it so thats where the confusion came from.

jetsniper Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Lucky bastard. Funny you mention that, I only just found out Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan have started celebrating it as of last year. I thought it was still only an Alberta holiday, haha.

I dunno, I love the hell out of it... it cracks me up, and it's a nice refresher from my NHL09 season. The gf likes playing it too, so that's a bonus.

jetsniper Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Wait, people find it funny? Why? Speaking of DLC, I reaaaaaaally want to play Flower but that should be in the PS3 thread. It looks like the most relaxing game ever though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Don't think Quebec gets a family day. However, it is my dad's 50th birthday tomorrow (we... it's after midnight... so today). Guess that sorta counts as "family day". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, right, I'll be 22 next month and I watch cartoons still. I have nothing to say about maturity. I just thought there was some hidden gameplay mechanic I was missing.

jetsniper Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Friggin EB isn't getting Street Fighter IV until tomorrow. I don't get why this game wasn't street dated and sent out early like every other massive release. You don't make sense to me Capcom!

jetsniper Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Street Fighter IV randomly decided to go online while I was in Arcade mode without me realizing it. My opponent suddenly changed from Chun-Li to Sagat so I thought "what the hell?" and exited. I thought the game was bugging out or something but next thing I know, I'm getting this profanity laced message from some guy for quitting. Nothing is spelled correctly either. So I checked his profile and it says he's from Edmonton so of course I have to have some fun with that. He left right away though so now I gotta wait for him to come back. I was quite confused though, I had no idea I was playing online and then some guy I don't know starts attacking me from out of the blue.

bombTHEice Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Btw. It seems like there will be no Sheppard in Mass Effect 2 and you'll have to start with a new character? http://masseffect.bioware.com/teaser/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like there will be no Sheppard in Mass Effect 2 and you'll have to start with a new character? http://masseffect.bioware.com/teaser/index.html I'm not sure what is going on with that. I saw on X-play that you will be able to load a save from the first Mass Effect and continue the story in to Mass Effect 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
