First I've read and first posted here. Would you kindly not be so literal.

Yeah I wouldn't make the Oblivion comparison either.

I guess I was misinformed. Never been a big fan of straight out 1st person shooters. I never play the military games that are all the rave. In fact, the last shooter I played was Doom3.

You could probably compare the two on looks. The graphics are great in both and both create some very visually interesting worlds but that is where any similarity ends.'Crazy Canuck said:I guess I was misinformed.

I don't play shooters either, at all. But I loved both Bioshocks. I definitely wouldn't refer to them as "straight out 1st person shooters."'Crazy Canuck said:I guess I was misinformed.

I played Episode 1 after the last sale. It would all have to be free for me to play another one. It just wasn't for me.

It's gotten horrid reviews everywhere I have seen. Slax reviewed it in this thread last Thurs-Fri.

If this game is sitting in your basement, it would be worth the drive to take it to a landfill.

You don't wanna play that unless you're masochistic.

I love the God of War series, I don't have lots of time to play games either because of work and kids, but I an finding spare time to play the new God of War. I'm about 4 hours in, if you like the previous games you'll like this one too. I don't want to say it's more of the same but it kind of is, however I just love to relax and this game does that for me. Gameplay is good, graphics are probably some of the best that PS3 will ever have, story is ok I guess, it's more about the action, crazy bosses (huge), and total gore and destruction. Recommended if you like the rest of the series...Still sitting in plastic.

Adding about God of War, I would wait for a price drop I guess, $60 is too much. I am part of the Best Buy gamer club so I got $20 in reward certs for preorder and then a bonus $5...for me I usually get games at the $20-$25 range but wanted this bad enough to pay $40. Side note my preorder bonus code for multi-player weapon didn't work, and I have yet to even play the new multi-player.

Not a fan of the God of War franchise, but if you like button-mashers, you'll definitely like it. There's no question that it has awesome production value.Just a quick note, though, that this game is completely inappropriate for a 6 year old.Edit: I haven't played the new one, but if it's anything at all like the others it's going to feature an extreme amount of blood, gore, and sadistic violence, along with lots of gratuitous nudity and probably a QTE sex scene.Still sitting in plastic.

Dangit, I'm trying to finishe ME2 first...not...gonna...make it
About God of War, I agree that it isn't for young children, about 30 minutes in there was a bunch of nudity and some of the kills are downright nasty. For adults in a good way, it's actually quite awesome. I don't let my 6yr old watch, play it after he's in bed/school, and before the 1 yr old is awake or napping.

For those that care I recommend the ESRB website to check if stuff is ok for your kids. There is a wide range of stuff that falls under Mature and some is actually not too bad and some is way bad. But they detail each game out there so you know exactly what you are getting.Its a rated M game. Youre not saying anything we dont already knowEdit.

My 6 year old wants to watch me play. He's the middle child and is used to hanging with his 9 yr old brother. Still...this is more great info. He can stick to Skylanders.eta--he snuck down last year and watched me play GOW3. It was not my Parent of the Year moment,
but now he wants to watch this. Dad will say no.

I don't really play too many Xbox games outside of sports games, but my wife randomly bought Walking Dead: Survival Instinct because she is a big Walking Dead fan. I've only played it for a couple hours, but I agree with what has been said in the negative reviews and SlaX's earlier comments about the game. I find the zombie combat very awkward and poorly designed, and it seems like the missions tend to be overly tedious to the extent that it can quickly become boring. I found it frustrating that you had to restart the entire level each time you died because you ended up having to re-do all of these tedious tasks with intermittent awkward hand-to-hand zombie slap fights, which felt like more of a hassle rather than a fun mission. I still really haven't played it that much, but I can't say I'm too eager to start the game back up again.

Haha. Thanks guys. You saved me a trip to the local Redbox. And a few hours of my life that I can now spend staring at the wall.

All of these overwhelmingly positive reviews are making me wait a week to buy it, despite loving the first two games.This is the first time I've ever seen such universal praise for a game, its just too sketchy.

Skyrim was universally praised just to pick a recent game.

Tomb Raider is $42 today at Amazon.
In a related note, Square Enix announced a massive restructuring today, which included the dismissal of president Yoichi Wada, in part because titles like Hitman: Absolution and Tomb Raider failed to meet internal projections. This after TR has already sold 3.4 million copies - not including digital downloads.
How many did they expect to sell.

I followed Skyrim even more closely than infinite, granted I was much more interested in infinite when it was originally supposed to be released. Every review for Skyrim was not 10/10, nor was there absolutely no negative comments - such is the case with infinite so far.Hilariously enough the only 9/10 I've found has been from IGN.Also a little bummed that Infinite breaks our worlds apart, in Bioshock 1 and 2 it was possible for them to have taken place in our universe, but with infinite that is not the case.

You do realize the original Bioshock actually has a HIGHER Metacritic score, right? (Original - 96, Infinite - 95) Was that one too universally praised too?

This is the sad thing about video games - it seems like you need ridiculously massive sales to make it worthwhile.Tomb Raider is $42 today at Amazon.In a related note, Square Enix announced a massive restructuring today, which included the dismissal of president Yoichi Wada, in part because titles like Hitman: Absolution and Tomb Raider failed to meet internal projections.

Too often lately, the publishers will lay down ridiculous expectations on these games. I read that was one of the reasons for former-CEO of EA, John Riccitiello, stepping down. They just couldn't meet any of the expectations they set for the investors.Tomb Raider is $42 today at Amazon.In a related note, Square Enix announced a massive restructuring today, which included the dismissal of president Yoichi Wada, in part because titles like Hitman: Absolution and Tomb Raider failed to meet internal projections.

Bought Gears of War: Judgment the other day. First game purchase in awhile.
While I was at the store (Gamestop <_< ), I hoped to find a relatively cheap used copy of Assassin's Creed 3. $55.
. The game has been out for 5 months and used copies are still selling just $5 off of full retail? WTF?
I'm doing my best to hold out on Bioshock Infinite for a few months for a slight price drop. I don't know how long I'll be able to make it, though.
