I am actually expecting a 5 star review. A couple reviews come to mind: Bad Company 1, and Condemned 2. Two games that, really, weren't anything too amazing, but what they did, they did damn well. Blow stuff up / Brutalize hobos. This game does crazy sh!t damn well. It is an improvement on the first in every regard. Sure, the core combat is nothing to write home about. But the beauty of this game is that you can MAKE it fun.
Heh, well, piss...I added the 360 stick to my cart, input all my information, and then tried e-mailing the significant other for approval. By the time I got a response from her and hit the confirm button, newegg told me the item was no longer in stock. Shucks. Eh, I have the SE stick anyways and am just waiting for my parts from Lizard Lick to arrive (4 weeks and counting...).
I didn't even know this was in the works, but was always wishing Valve would release something JUST like this. This is a great thing. I was actualy underwhelmed by HL2, just because its tone and atmosphere were completely different than that of the first one. It was a completely different game, really.
I am psyched to be back in closed quarters, no definite story, except get the heck out of the facility and there is a creepy man watching you.
I see this as an Ecco the Dolphin game, but as a (SUPER)human.
Better yet, I would like to see it as an open-world adventure type game, in which Michael is practicing in the ocean and a giant(bomb) wave takes him out to sea. He drowns, but is rescued by a group of underwater dwellers, who appropriately take him back to Atlantis! It turns out they are in trouble from a rival underwater city (maybe they are the ones who are melting the ice caps!), and they need Michael to lead their army, because of his unmatched speed and leadership! You collect Gold Medals to unlock new moves. So on and so on.
Crysis Warhead - It looks like they learned from their mistakes and know what they are doing. That, and the lowered price. Count me in. Regardless of the problems prevalent in Crysis, it is still probably the best FPS I have played in the past couple years.
Spore - I love the creature creator, but know next to nothing about the rest of the game. My primary worry is that I will purchase the game and still want to do nothing but make creatures.
A quick comment regarding The Witcher Enhanced Ultra Edition. Are they actually going to be charging people for this? Come on. It better be CHEAP. I don't feel I should have to pay 50 more dollars because you guys messed up the first time round...which they really didn't, because, for the most part, the game was fairly fun.
