    It's great that it's retail only. This game is no 'add-on', it's a full new game.

    BiffMcBlumpkin said: "That last one makes no sense whatsoever.

    Unless they drastically change up all the maps in campaign and make ghosts available everwhere (you don't just start out on Ghosts after all,) there's no way it can be done. Some places you just can't get to in Ghosts, sometimes you're doing flying levels in vehicles other than ghosts, dealing with Flood in tight quarters, going tons of places Ghosts won't/can't go, etc. And it wouldn't say "Halo," it would say "Halo 3" or "Campaign," etc.

    Makes no sense.

    Or is it talking about a new map? Haven't ...

    Halo 3 is terrific to play with friends, you can have four folks on your console playing with other you know online. CoD4 does not have that, and is more fun to play with just you, IMO.

    Aww, you didn't mention us New Zealanders? We're getting it too... Not that I want to, they've screwed me over enough, I was looking forward to it coming out October last year, but one year after? I don't care anymore.

    I thought that it would be the other way around, and GHIII would have the smooshed down version.

    Marbig just commented on the GiantBomb editorial review for: Rock Band 2
    Fuck Rock Band. First one hasn't come out in New Zealand yet, so the entire series can get fucked.

Yes. Intimacy came available for download about half an hour ago. It's awesome. They've gone a bit further into the electronic direction, but it's not overdone. It's awesome. It starts off pretty hectic with "Ares" but it has calm, slower songs as they always have. Buy it in October when it's released on CD, with more tracks. You know you want to.

Oh, and a couple of months ago I won a competition for Civilization Revolution. That arrived this week. I take a picture because I can. It's a fantastic game.

An amazingly fun game - then it's over.


Go web go! Swinging through the air before dropping down to the level of a bad guy, snatching away his gun and sending him flying into the air with a punch kick combo sounds fun, right?
And it is, that's what you'll be doing here. Feel free to mix it up a bit, you can choose how you want to defeat most enemies. I say most, as you've got a ton of boss fights to do. I take it you've seen the movie, or at least have a general idea of the villain; Doc Ock. That's not exactly the case here. Sure, you've got Doc Ock, but that's only one. You've got many others to fight, including Vulture and Mysterio. There are some stages where you're fighting up in the rooftops, and you aren't allowed to get to the ground, or you die. Then there are the smaller spaces, where you're creeping through corridors taking out enemies as they come.
The storyline is great, with cut-scenes that look spectacular (aside from what Peter looks like, hah!), but then there is the length. This game is horribly short. But after you've finished it, and unlocked all of the upgrades, you can do it all over again on a different difficulty. In fact doing the sandbox training levels are still a lot of fun, climbing up massive buildings and webslinging to the next one, swinging through the air and jumping back to the ground while taking out swards of enemies. This game looks really great, and shows what the PSP is capable of. As I've said; the cut-scenes also look great.
All characters have voices, and many of them are played by the same actors who play them in the movies.

Overall this is a great game, but it's length is its downside. If you can get this for a cheap price, definitely buy it.
