 Would be cool if it's for real but I'm hesitant. Thanks
Hey guys quick update really mainly to talk about resident evil 5 demo. I ripped it on cd and played it on my unmodded 360 (this process is legal so no flaming please) and loved every second of it.
My expectations weren't blown away though because it's exactly like resident evil 4 but with graphical update. I think everyone should take the time to try it, it's amazing! The only thing I hate is that they didn't fix the strafing while aiming problem. But yeah cheer up Resident Evil fans it's going to be awesome!
The demo only includes 2 levels but they are pretty open specially the first one that allow a lot of movement and different ways to play the level. Can take many different paths and try different tactics.
Hey guys, 2008 is nearly over so I thought I might start doing the whole Awards thingie and give a short view on the games that clearly were impressive in my eyes with a short explanation. Let's jump right into it!
Shooter
Gears of War 2
Don't even need to clarify myself, game is simply EPIC! From the intro until the ending making you want more, this game will lead you on a crazy shooting ride. As you go on, you will master the art of realistic shooting even more and this game simply had to be my top 1.
Game of the Year
Grand Theft Auto IV
A lot of people are going to say that Gears of War 2 is the game of the year but I gotta admit, GTA IV was quite a big hit to my personal self when I first played. This game is really amazing and as a fan of the series I got to say this game gets my vote for game of the year. Graphics, gameplay, story,... Everything is in there.
Role-playing game
The World Ends With You
I think a lot of people missed out on that game that is a personal favorite of mine as it only came out on DS and didn't make much noise in the industry. HOWEVER, this game was really awesome and I think a title is well deserved in this category as it had a lot of elements that made it unique specially its storyline.
Fighting Game
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
To be honest, this is the only fighting game I played this year with Facebreaker so of course the vote was pretty easy.
Sports Game
NHL 09
I know there's not a lot of hockey fans in this website but I personally love the sport and this addition to the series was simply too good to be true, the new controls added to great graphics and updated rosters made it a fav for me.
Best DS Game
The World Ends With You
As specified in the Role-playing game category, this game had a lot of aspects that made it great like the story and the gameplay. And all those aspects/elements just made the experience so much more fun and enjoyable making it great to kill time on the bus/tram/etc.
Best PSP Game
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
First of all, I am a big fan of Square Enix and the Final Fantasy franchise just keeps on amazing me so of course I had to pick that one up and I loved it. The story of Zack is great and appreciated as it filled some blanks in the FFVII story. God of War would be my first but I'm too much of a Final Fantasy freak...
Best Visuals
Gears Of War 2
Amazing how a three-year old engine can still keep up to expectations and deliver such amazing graphics. Wow is an understatement when you first glance at the game as the proportions are huge and the details can still be seen from so far away. GoW2 had no difficulties climbing to the first rank in this category.
Adventure Game
Grand Theft Auto IV
Great game that lasted a long time and that pushed me to want more and discover who's the traitor. The adventure took us on three different islands and every new story element was exciting led the player through the game easily and which so much fun. This is by far one of the greatest game ever.
Best Xbox 360
Gears of War 2
Developed exclusively on Xbox 360 this title was amazing in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
Best Wii
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Great fights and so much to play online or with friends.
Best PC Game
World Of Warcraft: Wrath Of The Lich King
Yes, I'm one of those lol. While the Burning Crusade was a huge disappointement for me, I got to say that this time Blizzard made a great move and released an expansion that blew me away! From the Death Knight to Northrend, everything is so much fun! While the addiction grows, I got to put my thumbs up for this one as it is a great game.
Best Online Game
Gears of War 2
First I thought of adding WoW or WAR but then I realised how much fun I had on Live while playing this game online, must it be on Horde or the other modes, I always had fun. The game kept and will still keep me hooked only thanks to the multiplayer and I love it.
PS3 owners don't be hating lol I just don't have a PS3 so I didn't put any PS3-exclusives in there nor a Best PS3 as I have no experience with any game personally...
