I wasn't terribly impressed with COD4. The other squad members just got in my way and I wasn't in control of them. Is the whole game like that, or just the beginning?

It felt like the fourth Devil May Cry. You shoot 'em with guns, slice 'em with swords and keep it moving.

The amount of loading & subsequent cutscenes in the game is disturbing.

-Extremely linear.
-The knife is so overpowered that there's no reason to use anything else.

I took it out of my Gamefly queue and added The Club.

It's all like that. The problem is everything is scripted, so if your standing in a spot they're supposed to be in they'll just shove you out of the way. Most of the game is outside though so it doesn't cause many problems, just in the tight spaces.

Anyway, I've been playing Bioshock for real the last few days. I think it's ok. Nice atmosphere but it really hasn't sucked me in. The gameplay I find pretty boring. The plasmids are cool, but most of the regular weapons sucks. The Big Daddy's are neat but they're pretty much all the game has from an interesting enemy standpoint. Having to find all these radio messages to get the story behind the city sucks ass and I really don't care anymore, and there's too many fetch quests. Also too many cheap tricks like lights flickering or going out that are annoying and not scary or fun. I'm to the point a little after the "twist" and the game is due back today so I doubt I'll finish it. I'm frankly amazed this game got so many perfect scores. I'll give you that it's a good game, just not my thing I guess. But perfect? No ****ing way.

Well, if it's all like that, I don't think it's for me. I don't work and play well with others. I don't hate it, but I'm not dropping $60 on it.

Bioshock is great.... ONCE. Has zero replayability.

I can see how that game could freak out a little kid. I played it with the lights out for added effect sometimes and it was definitely creepy. The background voices of the crazies are a nice disturbing touch.

Condemned no; F.E.A.R., yes, on the PC. I liked F.E.A.R. a lot.

I liked Condemned a lot.. you can pick it up used for $19.
Don't bother pickup up F.E.A.R. Files - total shit

I crapped out on the F.E.A.R. expansion pack - after awhile it just gets too repetitive.

Just as an, I dunno, a reminder or something... NFL2k5 is still ridiculously awesome. That game was so ahead of its time; if only the franchise mode offered more features/less trading and the draft wasn't completely ****ed up, it would be almost perfect.

I've been reliving 2004 a bit before deciding whether I want to download a 2007 roster set, and I've had some amazing wins (coming back from 23-0 against the Panthers to win 36-23) as well as games that were just like watching the real 2004 team (43-40 loss to the mother****ing Texans). The gameplay in APF is a notch better, but 2k5 holds up incredibly well.

Amen.

I really enjoyed this game except for the glitch that prevents me from playing the second half of it. I'm in the school and when I fall through the floor in a scripted scene, all the textures fail to load and I'm stuck in a pitch black room being beat by who knows what. The only textures that load are the weapons. I've heard the same glitch happen around the web. If developers put out a game with a fatal glitch, don't count on me buying the sequel.
