That doesn't look like Max Payne at all, by any means.
Call it something else and it will look interesting, but throw Max Payne on there and this is not what one who loved the franchise would expect, or want really.
It sure is worth my money, that's why over the past 7 months, I have owned 13 Xbox 360 games. I don't own a PS3 or Wii, and my PC isn't good enough to run many games. I rent the rest, and if I like it enough, I will buy it. I made a comment on the Red Faction review stating how much I loved the game while playing with a friend and my wife, I am most likely going to send the game back and just buy it instead.
A HUGE problem with the Iphone store is the reviews, you can look at a game, and a number of the reviews, sometimes 20 or 30, are fake accounts from the developer. I downloaded a 5 dollar game once thinking it was going to be fantastic, because out of 20 some reviews, it had 4 1/2 stars out of 5. The game was nearly unplayable, the controls didn't work, and there wasn't even a pause feature. So either 20 people are stupid and don't know anything about gaming, OR, the developer either created fake accounts, or hired people to review there game good. Either way, it was a waste of 5 dollars, and I deleted it within a few minutes. Until that is fixed, I will continue to justify downloading Iphone games that way.
@rateoforange:Â haha...good idea...though they probably won't like that too much at the theater. That's also something I rarely pay for, it's nice to have a friend who splices film for your local theater. I just call him up, ask when he is working, and he walks us in for free. BUT, I do pay quite often for the theater, as my wife and I see a lot of movies, I don't want to get him into trouble for doing it once a week. So maybe 1 of every 3 movies we get in for free.
@freakin: I got that in the mail yesterday. Played for about an hour and had a blast. Hopefully I will get to play it tonight, but for now I have added Prototype to my rental list and will hopefully get that next, after I am done with Red Faction of course.
Oh...I fully agree. I am not denying stealing it. All I am saying is that it's possibly the same for other people as well. That's just how it works for myself.
Then again, I am a pirate all the way, software, movies, and some music.
The thing is, a lot of games that deserve to be purchased aren't, and a lot of it stems to people not wanting to pay 60 bucks or whatever, for something they don't know is going to be good or bad. The new terminator game took me 2 and a half hours to beat, if I hadn't rented it, and instead purchased it, I would have been rightfully pissed. Demos are a great start, but a lot of games don't get demos. So what are you to do? Read the reviews, which most people hound anyway, and hope that the reviewer has the same opinion as you?
Out of all the games I finished on the PS2, probably 90% were games I bought. I have never tried or even thought about pirating my 360. And the Iphone has so many games that are either terrible, or great, even if its only a few dollars, it still adds up. I have played way to many bad games on the Iphone that I actually payed for, it eventually made me jailbreak, just so I wouldn't buy anymore shit games.
I used to own a modded PS2. I had a whole dvd book of games, at least 150 games. How many of those did I play for more than an hour or two? probably about 10%. I always find that anything that I don't pay for, I don't sit down to play. If I downloaded a game and burned it, I would try it out and move onto something else usually. If I purchased it though, you can safely bet that I finished the game.
That's just me though. I now own a 360, and I can't buy a bunch of games, so I have a gamerang subscription and rent two at a time. Everyone month or two, when a major release hits, I buy that, but not always. It's been months since I have purchased any games, just keep renting.
The Iphone, that's a different story. With so many games coming out, it's hard to keep track of what is what. My Iphone is jailbroken, and I download games all the time. I rarely pay for games on the Iphone....but then again, the majority of the games I do download, I never finish.
