So yep Tron Evolution did massively suck. 6.0/10. Not much more to say, they even fucked up the score.
Bioshock 2 - 9/10. Better than the original game. The gameplay was just more polished with better weapons and while the graphics were similar, there were more underwater vistas instead of just darkness everytime you look out a window. But overall not that different to the first game just more of the same. Venetica - 7/10. Possibly even more. Just a pretty average RPG/adventure game. Graphics are a little dated, it's definitely not AAA, but also very much worth playing through. Pretty addictive 15-20 hrs. Next on my list is either The Ball, Two Worlds II or MOH. I think after I've reviewed everything from 2010 I'll stop doing these reviews - when I started there were only several games a year, 2010 there's 40, 2011 I've got a list of almost 70 games to play. Fuck reviewing all that, it'll be a chore just playing half of them. A review of a really bad game is just as useful as one of a good game. Maybe even better. It helps me to avoid wasting money.
Yes, but then Kona has to buy and play shit games just so you can avoid them. Sounds like a great deal for Kona. :)
I was kind of assuming the game was already purchased. I wouldn't waste much time on reviewing a bad game either. Just say "this one sucked, move along".
Yeah I could just do the ones that I think are really underrated. The hidden gems.
Buy over 60 games in 1 year? Screw that, I only buy the good ones, or the big ones like rpgs unless steam has a good deal going. The shit ones I torrent anyway, most of them just aren't worth the money they ask, even 5 years after release the publishers still think they're worth $20+. Nope. Sorry Willem I know you hate pirating hehe. Games have gotten pretty bad in recent years, at least from my perspective. So I tend to rely on Steam specials a lot also. I think the most I've paid for a game in the last 3 years was $20 for Tomb Raider 2013 (might have been $25).
I don't like much of what's been released lately so I just stick with old favorites and only try newer stuff when it's cheap enough that I don't worry about wasting the money if I end up not liking it enough to play (like Batman). It's actually quite good to be a few years behind and not playing a game on release. Gives it time for mods to come out, patches to fix shit, and the price to come down. I've never paid full brand new retail price for a game.
Anyway this weekend I played: The Ball - 6.5/10. Looks great but puzzles get boring really quick. Decided not to finish it even. Medal of Honor - 8/10. Pretty good, nice realistic setting, good combat. I miss FPS's. Short though at only about 6 hrs. Good deal for anyone that missed this great game. Steam has a Quakecon weekend special get Dishonored for only $4.99
There are many other id/Bethesda games on sale also. Dishonored is worth it just for the chance to study how when you make a game focused on gameplay and giving the player gameplay options, it turns out to be bloody good fun.
Extremely fun combat, plenty of options, many non-linear missions, lots of exploration and an engaging story. Was way better than Bioshock Infinite, though it felt that there was more spooging over that game.
That guy has some great reviews. I watched about a dozen last night and found that I generally agreed with him about everything. It's nice to find good reviews about older games.
I was thinkng to buy the new Thief game, then I watched his review. In the end it all just falls on it's ass, and it's a damn shame. Guess I'll wait until it's a $4.99 special on Steam. Just started playing... it's odd to get used to, but is growing on me. A measured dodge and attack combat system that I don't yet understand, plus a whole load of differing mechanics that feel well amalgamated into a whole.
http://www.gamespot.com/videos/quick-look-abyss-odyssey/2300-6420268/ It's $15USD on steam right now. I missed the sale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_130415645&feature=iv&src_vid=Nnj5TfywMNk&v=49Vw1cYTOeQ
