As a fan of Conan I have to say the reboot of Conan the Barbarian was pretty dismal. I was kind of looking forward to the movie too. Followed it during the filming stage on the movie's blog. Wasn't expecting anything earth shattering, just a decent Conan flick. Nope, it was terrible.
Tommy Tallarico did a good job with Maximo Ghosts to Glory. Is Tommy still working in the industry? He use to come by the IGN boards and post now and then. It was fun having someone in the gaming industry starting threads!
Probably stick with the PS3 version. After 100 hrs all the framerate issues don't bother me like they use to. The game looks sweet on my HDTV and I have even grown use to the save system. I am really more of a PC gamer than console guy, but in this case the PS3 is fine with me. When I am ready for more Dark Souls I will just download the new content to my PS3 and call it good.
Not really quit. I take breaks of weeks at a time, or have periods where I am not playing much because there is nothing out that I really want to commit to. As a side note I have quit TV. I have a TV but nothing broadcast comes over it. No cable, no antenna. I only use it for console games or DVDs. It has been years since I have had broadcast TV in my place, or watched a TV show.
Looks like theres lots of similarities with God of War, is it the case? Loved GoW 1
Well I just came off Dark and Demon Souls and decided to give this game another whirl. Yea there are some similarities with God of War. There are some QTE battles against mini bosses, but there are not any huge monsters to fight or climb up like GoW or Shadow of Colossus, or more recently Dragon's Dogma ( which I have yet to play ) For the battle climaxes instead of your typical one on one boss fight, you participate in a huge siege of a major Viking city or fort. This battle stars you and a cast of thousands! You and your liberated Viking allies, scores of them, attack and overcome the enemies who are defending the captured city. The game actually changes gears and goes from a more traditional hack n slash to something like a RTS game. You are given an overarching view of the battle and options for carrying out the battle plan. There is even a dragon you can call in to the battle, as a kind of aerial attack, that wreaks havoc with his fiery breath. You assign him a target and watch him wipe out dozens of enemy!
After playing OOT, beating it, enjoying it as my first ever Zelda game, I picked up MM as a rental. IMO OOT is the only Zelda game you need to play. All others are just incidental. I have played others: LTTP, Windwaker but OOT is the pinnacle of the franchise.
I would love to see the 3DO version of "The Need for Speed" redone in HD with better car models, touched up environments, and 60 FPS. The FMV would also have to be included (even if it's not in HD).
You made me think of another game, the greatest Need For Speed ever, Porsche Unleashed!
