I haven't touched the XBox for anything serious for months, now.
You're all smart when it comes to video games.
What's to look forward to?


I only like to give the likes of FIFA and sometimes Call of Duty a whirl. Both will be out later in the year, I imagine. But what else is there for the casual, handsome gamer?
(I helped save b3ta! Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 20 Jun 2011, 18:37, archived)
Battlefield 3, Dead Island, Gears of War 3, Batman Arkham City

(I helped save b3ta! executiverocker only wears C&A, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 18:39, archived)
Those Gears of War games always seemed complex and over the top..
Saying that, I'll probably give it a go.
90nz0's usually my man on new games or gadgets. I hope he's well.

Apparently it does, but not me, my eyes are fine. Sometimes I get double vision on-screen though, but that's mostly when I'm doing something that uses the gyros.

no, it's got updated graphics, touchscreen controls, motion controlled aiming (which works way better than you think), a boss rush mode, a new version of master quest that unlcoks once you finish the game
and someone from nintendo comes round your house a couple of days after you beat the game and gives you superpowers

Instead of superpowers, I'd rather just have these.

I really wish I'd bought an Xbox instead of a Wii - I can never join in these conversations
I suppose I can look forward to a stripped down, PS2-quality conversion of some of these games in 18 months time :o/

I only bought the original Wii because they'd had a small delivery turn up at a Tesco store a couple of days after launch
and the whole "can't get a Wii for love nor money" hype just prompted the purchase. My friends who'd pre-ordered but still didn't get one were fuming.


The Call of Duty games are brilliant on it, and a Boy and His Blob was good.

I'm quite a fan of the Little Big Planet set of games JMG.

I was excited about the possibility of a good return for Duke, but all I've heard is people saying it's puerile and childish. I thought that was the point of Duke Nukem.

I'm sure the puerile childishness would have been overlooked or maybe even enjoyed
if the game itself was any good, but everything I've read seems to agree that it's really poorly made as well, considering the 14 year development time.

They probably had to rewrite it from scratch every time a new platform came out.
And then rushed to finish it before the Xbox 720, PS4 or whatever is next. There's no excuse for spending that long though, considering the resources they must have been able to throw at it.

What happened was 3D Realms acted like a teenager who hadn't done their homework for about 12 years
until they all got shitcanned, then 2K and Gearbox came along and made a right fucking hash of it, which they then ported over to the Xbox, badly.

If it were released in 1998 the reviews would have said that it was an uninspiring sequel
that brought nothing new to the game.

The first ten or 15 minutes are fun, after that it starts to grind but I'm determined to finish it. There seems to be easy bits then all of a sudden a boss will drop out of the sky and kill you. Then you have to wait an entire minute for the game to reload. After a couple of attempts you'll have found an unlimited ammo crate and a place to hide and then it's a piece of piss.

It's less original than Duke 3d and while I admit it's been a fair few years since I played it DNF seems far more linear with a smaller gaming area.

Played the demo of the Manhattan Project when it was released on XBLA, turned it off after 20 minutes.
The continual recycling of a few spoken phrases every time an enemy was killed really started to grate. I think, from what I've seen of the new one, this will be much the same.
