Resident Evil 5 is like the worst B-movie ever made. It makes Michael Bay look like Werner Herzog. It's very pretty though, i'll give it that.

 My co-op buddy was ready to shoot me for all the nit-picking I did. Which is sad, because I did enjoy the inventory and weapon upgrade system.

Slightly off topic: Shadow Man had a really cool concept behind it, it was very scary at times I think, totally wasted game forgotten probably by the majority forever.

Anyone remember Shadowman? Legion, Jack the Ripper e.t.c...?

I wish this game would get a reboot.

I'm told Shadowman was incredible, actually. I'll have to wait for a port (never...), or get my hands on an emulator. I'm not sure what's up with the Oblivion-bashing here... keep in mind, guys, that not many games are that big in size and scope. It takes the world of every other RPG and pisses on it. Straight out of the gate you can walk in any direction and find something to do, start a quest chain that'll take anywhere between one and fifteen hours. With tons of mods and tweaking I've gotten 250 hours out of that game so far. Same thing for Fallout 3. Until more game rival Bethesda RPGs in what they do best, in their size and the sheer amount of things to do, I'm not judging either of them.



My bottom 10:

10)Resi 5 - Oh look, he controls like a rusty tank, and despite being fit, muscular and coordinated he can't swing a knife while reloading. Fun!



9)Bioshock 2 - Recieved too much critical praise because of its pedigree. It was good, but it was nothing new. Here's hoping Ken Levine's Bioshock project will be better



8)Prototpye - Unusual, I know, but it recieved fairly good reviews, with critics calling it "dumb fun" and all that, despite being a reskin of Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction - a PS2 game, developed by the same people. Even the buildings break in the same way (Oh, look, it's crumbling... crap, it disappeared)



7)Starcraft 2 - Fine, it's polished and it's fun. It's a goddamn reskin of a 10-year-old game with zero new features, no LAN and the ****tiest DRM known to man. Battle.net to play offline? "Premium" maps and units for purchase? Splitting the game into three bloody pieces so we pay three times as much? Sorry Blizzard, if I wanted this kind of treatment I'd ask for an xbox port.



6)GTAIV - I disagree with many of you here; I thought it was a great game... for as long as the main narrative lasted. A complete lack of fun side-missions made worse by the crappiest PC port known to man. Bravo Rockstar, bravo. Red Dead Redemption was much better; the lack of buildings and people encouraged Rockstar to give you more stuff to do.



5)Heavy Rain - Read about it on Destructiod; you'll understand. Not helped by the fact that David Cage is gaming's self-professed Messiah, and can't seem to shut up about it.



4)FIFA (all of them) - When I want to play football, I go outside and play football. Really, by playing a game just to play as a bunch of international football stars we're encouraging the constant masturbation of their own egoes. While some of them are really nice, down-to-earth people, many really don't need the encouragement.



3)Madden - Same thing. If I wanted to play American Football, I'd walk outside in a ridiculous set of padded armour, find a big guy and punch him in the face.



2)Splinter Cell: Conviction - Really, they turn Splinter Cell into a corridor shooter and it gets this much praise?



1)Modern Warfare 2 - It does nothing new for the franchise besides add some perks and killstreaks and makes a mockery of what was once the single-player campaign, and we treat it like the second bloody coming?

We don't get Madden in uk, most people don't even know who or what it is.

i have to say half life series and valve as a whole is quite overrated..dont get me wrong valve is a great company..and i love the half life series but they arent as good as people say they are..plus L4D, TF2, and counter strike suck..i LOVE portal though. now splinter cell i feel wasnt all that overrated i felt alot people didnt like it. i must say though it was an average game i gave it a 7 out of 10

[TSamee]

Good. We get it in the UAE.
And please, don't call TF2 crap... name one other shooter that's gotten the amount of free, substantial content after launch that it has, then we can talk.

 Please do explain why it is that L4D "sucks". And no, saying it's nothing new does not equate to a game "sucking". Perhaps you have examples of games that don't "suck", that could be directly compared to L4D. Try using big words that describe why the game mechanics are so flawed, or why it's very existence should be questioned.

 My point being, as with all things in life, poeple tend to have knee jerk reactions that have no basis other than the confinds of a destorted imagination. Meaning other factors tend to influence knee-jerk reactions.

ok i have plenty of opionoins on TF2 and LFD..first off though i havent played L4D2 though i heard its better, im only judging the first



left 4 dead first off has a very outdated engine and the game looks like a psone game..plus the levels are too short im talking like 5 to 10 minutes long..plus theres just not alot to do.theres about 6 maps or so..about 5 weapons,and playing as zombies sucks. like every zombie i played as besides the tank was killed by getting shot in the leg like once by an assult rifle...oh one personal gripe i have is the control set but thats a personal gripe so it dosent count.



now TF2 i hear is better on pc..but i never played it on pc so i never got the free content, fisrt off i never had any fun with the game..people say its perfectly balanced but its not.the pyro class is significatly more powerful and its all people play as.i will admit though the style of the game is amazing i love the look of it..one more complaint i have is that the game isnt competitive at all scince NO ONE does the ranked matches, or at least when i play..

 Well all your "gripe"s are relevant, though short-sighted IMO. First, the graphics are no where close to PS1. They're actually quite good for a multi/co-op game. Here's an experiment for ya, go and warm up your old psone and do a side by side viewing, then get back to me. If you still feel the same way I have an excellent eye doctor I can refer you to. But a comparitive example(s) would be nice.

 Some levels may be kinda short, but you obviously got a bootleg copy for them to be 5 to 10 minutes. We're actualy talking more on the order of an hour to hour and a half. Throw in expert or multiplayer and we're talking upwards of two hours.

 Playing as zombies was one of the best parts of L4D. Definately put a spin on survival horror multiplayer. Now I can understand your angst in being a zombie and having no team to back you up. It was crucial to cooperate with your team in order to have any success with an attack. And there in is the best reason I can give someone to buy L4D, that it takes true cooperation to succeed in the game, adding a level few other shooters can claim.


 While I won't say L4D2 was garbage, I will say it was overrated for the same reasons I claim MW2 or Halo 3.

Popularized physics, popularized scripted sequences, popularized modding, popularized digital distribution. Raised the bar for facial animation. People literally not metaphorically  gasped out loud when Halflife 2 was shown.

i never said valve or half life sucked..i agree half life 2 still has great graphics and characters and story..but at the same time the gam IMO is VERY slow paced..it takes FOREVER to beat the levels..plus there are many times in the game when u are like..where do i go, plus gordon freman isnt like OMG the GREATEST MAIN CHARACTER IN GAME HISTORY..he has almost no personality cuz he never speaks EVER, i still love half life though id give it a 9 out of 10..but not freaking 20 out 10 like everyone else.and valve like i said has made plenty of bad games..i think bioware is much better with storyteling, character development, and the settings of their games..on the other hand i dont love ALL bioware games...i gave jade empire a 6.5 out of 10..and i gave the sonic rpg a 4 out of 10...



and one other thing is NO OFFENSE but i find most of you valve fans to be..well a little too defensive. yes valve is a great company but that dosent meen ALL their games are the best games ever..i dont think that about bioware either ive already mentioned the games they made i dont like...plus only kotor and ME2 are on my top 10 list not ALL bioware games..and i dont get ticked off when someone dosent like a bioware game,,but everywhere i go when i say valve is SLIGHTLY overrated..EVERYONE gets sooo defensive.

 Yeah, well, I'm hardly a Valve fanboy.

 I was simply trying to determine why YOU thought L4D "sucks". I read your points, and to be honest they seemed a bit forced.

 I would of defended any other game had I thought deeming it to "suck" was misplaced.

 I also think those who claim Red Dead Redemption was overrated have some hidden agenda to. Anyone care to name a better western game?

Simply not liking a game doesn't mean it isn't deserving of it's merits. I can't stand flight simulator, doesn't mean it isn't good at what it's  attempting to do.  When you compare Halflfie 2 to a game like Halo or  Call Of Duty, it would be difficult to argue it isn't superior and specifically designed for winners, with big balls.

well these are just my opinions and your opinions are yours..there is nothing wrong with that. i agree though red dead redemption looks quite good though i have yet to try it..and i will admit half life 2 is definatly better then cod..but im more of a halo fanboy..its personal really, i grew up with the halo series and have some of the fondest memories from the multyplayer.

[Rubbish Hero]

Actually I probably should take back Halo, it did do alot for consoles. From the pc side though it was highly detrimental.

Ah. Here's the problem: console versions have never, ever seen a patch. No class balance patches, no class unlocks, no maps, nothing. There are no "ranked matches" on TF2 PC, so that's no problem for me. Honestly, try it on the PC, then you'll see the balance at work. And what you say about the pyro... he can only work at close range, so he's godly at it. Still, if you're a soldier, heavy, sniper, or medic you should have no problem with them.

On the Halo side of things, the original did a lot for console shooters, and the relatively open level design which still allowed for set pieces moved things forward for the PC as well... but the sequels threw that level design out the window, so...

Team Fortress 2 is a masterpiece on multiple fronts in my opinion. Probably Valve's best game ever.

well..i dont know if i will get TF2 for pc..i kind of want to now but i dont have a pc..i just play WoW on my grandmothers computor occasionaly..and i can only have one game on her pc sadly..but hey maybe TF3 will come out for pc later on, and ill have a job by then so i can get money to get it.



and yes the halo franchise IMO is quite underapreciated..the first one defined console shooters, the second one took multyplayer to the next level, and the third one expannded on these and added tottaly new featuers like forge and theater mode..odst sucked, but halo reach on the other hand while not innovative will be a great going away party from bungie as it will simply be a tribute to what has made the halo franchise so succesful.

 Yeah.......................................................and so did he. While opinions are opinions, he's still to give valid reason why the game is broken (ie. sucks). Saying the graphics are like that oif the psone and the campaign missions are 5 minutes isn't a very compeling argument when none of it is remotely true.


 I was incredibly impressed with Red Dead. It had a great story and lenghty campaign, although replay value is low.

if you want a zombie shooter, play Killing Floor. Not as many awesome moments as L4D, but the gunplay is much better.

EDIT: has anybody played Hitman? The first was broken, Silent Assassin was good, the third was okay, but Blood Money has to be, in all honesty, one of the best games I've ever played. It's like a deep puzzle game about killing people. Probably the most underappreciated big release I've seen to date.
