What are you playing, stupid?

^You got it on 360? We should have some games if you do. GT is MadeManG74, feel free to shoot me an invite anytime!

Unfortunately, I only have a PS3. I bet you would clobber me though. I'm by no means good, I just really enjoy playing it.

Would you say its worth the $150-200 price tag? Or should I wait out the eventual rerelease (it HAS to happen at some point). I have no idea how easy it is to burn Saturn discs.

Just finished the game now, my thoughts are here:

Barry, I've re-thought my position on the monetary value, yes it is well worth $200.

Get it.

Darn. I don't like that style of gameplay. =/

Well I cannot say for certain because I only played one of the 5 or 6 difficulty options, on the easiest you might be able to not use cover much I assume. There are tons of different abilities the different class types can unlock that I never got to see in my first playthrough either, I know there are barriers and such that you can use on you and your team though.

It has similar stuff to Gears of War and Uncharted, but the team based mechanics, biotics (Mass Effect's version of "Magic") and tech abilities really make it very unique I think. Hard to explain, I guess.

Give the demo a go. I love the gameplay, but the story really is the main draw, so it might be worth it for you just for that.

Barry has a lot on his hands, man. He never even beat the first act of Vanquish yet! That takes like 20 minutes!

NO!
JUST LISTEN TO ME BARRY!

...

I'll get back to you Barry.

More like 19 minutes, and then that fucking walking boss thing kills me with a death laser and I have to play the boss battle all over again only to run out of bullets and die. I love Vanquish, but I don't think it's my type of game.

Also, Sanus should open a detective agency in which he uses XBOX achievements to investigate people.

Alright, I'll give the demo a shot. As I said earlier, I really am intrigued by the game's story so maybe that will win me over.

I thought the same thing, but it really does get more enjoyable once you "Get" the game. I am sure you have seen mine and Max's negative reactions which eventually turned positive.

Try changing the game to Casual or Casual Auto modes. I know it sounds embarrassing, but the game is much easier to get into and you will enjoy it a lot more I think. The bosses seem overwhelming, but the game saves your position very often outside of those, so I think it would be a cool game to play with your fairly tight schedule.

I am really interested in seeing how literally everyone in the world who has an Xbox 360 have such different tastes. It gives me a much more positive opinion on the state of the industry too honestly.

I also like to see what features people (meaning anyone) use most in the games they play. I want to work in videogames sometime in the future and I consider this good information to know.

Sorry if it creeped you out or anything.

Yeah, I'll give that a try. I just remember with Bayonetta I played through on the easy mode and enjoyed the hell out of it, but felt that I went a little too easy (thus I lost a bit of the challenge of the game). So I've been trying Normal with Vanquish but die way too much.

Been playing some Dead Rising 2 Case West, really cool game, even if it's just more of the same Dead Rising (I personally like that though). The biggest gripe I have is that it's much more bland a setting than Willamette Mall and Fortune City was, even the little town in Case Zero was better than this facility. Even so, they managed to fit in lots of cool weapons and stuff.

It's also just really cool to see Frank West and Chuck Greene being bros and killin' zombies.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit on the 360. I'm really amazed by how freakin' awesome this game is. Criterion have made one of the greatest racing games I've played in years.

My Gamertag is Cox of Seagulls, add me if you want a race. The online mode is pretty awesome.

I played a bit more 3D Dot Game Heroes.
A bit more retro than I'd like at times (what was once called "exploring", now comes across as closer to "aimless wandering), but it's still a fun game.
Some very obscure Zelda references in it too (aside from all the very obvious ones).

[CosmicCastaway]

Started playing Jeanne D'Arc on my PSP again. It's great fantasy version of the Joan of Arc story. She's always been my favorite historical hero so I love this game.

Playing LBP 2. Very good.

[ShaunShikeishuu]

Playing Hydro Thunder Hurricane.

It's hard to describe Deadly Premonition.

It's the most ambicious game ever, because it does everything games like Alone in the Dark and Alan Wake attempted to do, yet a the same time it can't take itself seriously.
