Metal Reviews

Two awesome XBLA games are coming out this month:

Perfect Dark
Mega Man 10

I added $25 to my XBLA account yesterday, so that I can download those two games when they come out.

FFXIII on the Xbox 360. I've played for around 7-8h so far and that's more than I've ever played the previous games combined. Basically because this is far less irritating and grindy than the rest. No lols-random encounters or that terrible stuff but the story and characters are still a joke. They must be aiming for the Olympics in stereotype behaviour, competing in most clichés thrown out per minute. It is impossible to take them seriously no matter how much I try to. What 10 year old did they put in charge of writing the script?

So heh, apart from what really matters in a roleplaying game, it's pretty decent overall. Very pretty and okay to good combat depending on the encounter (bosses are kewl).

This is now my most hyped game of '10, along with Dead Space 2.

Red Dead Redemption, Halo Reach, and um that's it.. so far....

oh some MW2 DLC would be very very nice.

I love that damn game, but some new online levels would be nice.

Some new Spec Ops too.

yeah spec ops is awesome, definitely more of that

This is pretty awesome, actually.

Still playing Demon's Souls and so far it has become one of my favourite games of this generation, got invaded for the first time last week and got pwned, i've been summoned a couple of times too and last night i pwnt an invading Black Phantom while in another player's game.

I also bought from PSN the following games:

Megaman 9
Braid
Pixeljunk Shooter
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night
Final Fantasy VII
Metal Gear Solid
And some Valkyria Chronicles DLC.

Wohoo!! Som Forge World stuff! A Vulture gunship! Gonna test drive that beast on this sundays planetstrike game. Coooo

Also, finally got my x-box fixed. Now what game should I buy... Mass Effect 2 or Modern Warfare 2?

I'd personally go with MW2. But that's because I'm not a RPG fan, and so we can play MW2 online together.

All the 360 owners of MR should get together online and play some MW2 or any other game we all own.

Yay or nay?

I'd definitely be up for that now that mine is fixed.

I never jumped on the MW / MW2 bandwagon... so I'm out on that.

Puzzle Quest 2 is looking mighty fine:

Since I hated the original PQ's map-and-text interface, I'm glad to see the sequel is going for a more Baldur's Gate-ish tile-based interface. Looking forward to its XBLA release.

I'm sure there has to be a game that the majority of us own. Or we could all get Halo Reach? It's looking pretty damn awesome.

Gears 2?
Battlefield Bad Company 2?

There's gotta be something.

I have BFBC2 and MW2 for 360, i like both but prefer MW2.

as do I, I don't understand how people who like video games can not like MW2.

I've got Gears 2 and Halo 3 ODST as far as popular multiplayer games go. But yeah, I'll definitely be getting Reach, so we'll have to have a party for that.

I'd love to play you fuckers some time, even though I probably suck.

If it's Halo that we play, then I will suck also. I can hold my own in Halo 3 online, but Call of Duty is where it's at. I'm not the greatest at it, but I'm pretty steady at 20+ kills a match, which is pretty damn good IMO online on X-Box or PS3. I just haven't played Halo online in over a year, so I am very rusty. But Reach does look awesome.

Eh, whatever works. I'm probably best at Halo, since I typically win about a third of slayer matches. But yeah, I'll be getting Reach on the day its released.

Also, I have Borderlands, if anyone is interested in getting their co-op on.
