Baj Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 Looking forward to Fable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Noog Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 I've just got Lego Batman and PES2009, ordered Dead Space, Banjo, NFS, GOW2, End War, Bond and FM2009. Gonna be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 Hmm. Then I will get these games in this order 1. Fable 2 (****ing hell, talk about waiting for decent games then get the choice of 3 at once) 2. LittleBigPlanet (Comes out same day as Fallout 3 because of a week delay removing quran texts!) 2. Fallout 3 3. Gears of War 2 4. Mirror's Edge 5. Left 4 Dead 6. Resistance 2 Guarenteed I will probably get only half of these new from the shops. The dark side of my mate is calling me over to grab Fallout 3 or Far Cry 2 for the pc off him, pirate wise. I will resist with all my might hopefully!

gaz Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Fable 2, FM09, Rock Band 2 and RacePro are my choices. Maybe QoS too if there's a demo coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Resistance 2, Red Alert 3 (assuming it's on PC) of Fallout 3 are the ones that appeal to me the most. That said, I did get to play on Guitar Hero World Tour a few weeks ago and the drums and mic really do add something new to it - and they feel much better quality than the Rock Band gear too.

St Marco Posted 20 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Fable 2 was reviewed by Eurogamer and got a 10/10 they say it is one of if not thee best game ever made. Now Eurogamer are a bit odd with reviews but most of the time i agree with them. Im sure the game will do very well so lets hope game ship mine out early like fifa 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesaint sfc Posted 21 October, 2008 Share Posted 21 October, 2008 Your farcry 2 screen shot certainly makes the game look very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 21 October, 2008 Share Posted 21 October, 2008 Your farcry 2 screen shot certainly makes the game look very exciting. Indeed, although does nothing to explain the plot/gameplay elements. A free-roaming africa game apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuttedAnt Posted 21 October, 2008 Share Posted 21 October, 2008 LittleBigPlanet got given 10/10 by them! I've liked the look of LBP since day one and it's the only reason I'd get at a PS3 at the moment. Just not at £300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted 21 October, 2008 Share Posted 21 October, 2008 Ordered Fable, will get one of GOW and Fallout. Probably pick up FM09 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not at £300. its amazing. its just as fun as its hyped up to be. and when they say you can build anything you want in the create mode you are really only limited by you imagination this game is like nothing you will have played before. its a completely fresh idea. it had alot to live up to and to be honest i didn't think it would be able to punch above the expectation.but it does oh and when you get it try playing it without a huge grin on your face............you cant:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 23 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 23 October, 2008 Well Game delivered my Fable II copy today so that is now Fifa and Fable delivered 1 day early by them! Lets hope the trend continues and i get Gears 2 early Early impressions of Fable II are very very good. I love RPG games so maybe im a bit biased though.

St Marco Posted 23 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 23 October, 2008 and when they say you can build anything you want in the create mode you are really only limited by you imagination this game is like nothing you will have played before. its a completely fresh idea. I have not played the game yet and in all honesty i have not read much about it either. It is something that intrigues me as i like level design. Used to do loads of it In Operation Flashpoint and with Garry's Mod. So as you say this is bound by your imagination would it be possible to re-create Omaha Beach and play through that setting? As i saw earlier some of the things people have done with the Far Cry 2 editor and they created that and recreated the city of Paris which was awesome? Or is LittleBigPlanet more about creating left,right and jump style things (i.e platforms)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUN! I really want to play it but like I said, I can't drop £300 on a PS3 for one game. Especially at this time of year! C'mon Sony! Bring it below the the £250 mark and we'll talk!

Saints Noog Posted 26 October, 2008 Share Posted 26 October, 2008 Got Dead space on thurs, quality game, actually pretty scary as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 28 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 28 October, 2008 Thought i would do an update on how well these games are doing review wise overall The Metascores are (a metascore is an average of all scores given) Fable II = 90% Fallout 3 = 93% Portal Still Alive (forgot that one) = 90% Dead Space = 89% (fecking scary game) Wii Music = 63% Motorstorm Pacific Rift = 81% Legendary = 56% Midnight Club Los Angeles = 83% Far Cry 2 = 88% Guitar Hero World Tour = 87% Rock Band 2 = 92% Fifa 09 = 88% Pro Evo 09 = 73% So lots of good games and scores thus far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 28 October, 2008 Share Posted 28 October, 2008 FM09 is a must....maybe get fable 2 on the 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 29 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 29 October, 2008 for some reason Fallout 3 has been getting slightly worse reviews on the PS3. I have not read why and would not say it is a reason not to get the game. Gamespot gave the PS3 version 8.5/10 and the 360 version 9/10. Maybe someone who has bothered to read them can fill us in. Still looks an amazing game for all formats and has over 30hrs of gameplay. Will hopefully pick this one up when it comes out this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draino76 Posted 30 October, 2008 Share Posted 30 October, 2008 Picked up Far Cry2 last night. Cross between COD4 Africa style and MGS4, sneaking into villages and killing baddies. Looks absolutely beautiful. The maps are huge. Been playing 4 hours and have achieved 1%. I leave the subtitles on because they talk so quickly!

Mark Posted 1 November, 2008 Share Posted 1 November, 2008 I brought Quantum of Solace for the 360 today. Have to say first impressions are very very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Posted 2 November, 2008 Share Posted 2 November, 2008 Gah, still waiting for LBP to be posted. 3 more days but hoping I will get it earlier... Seeing it's got 96 on Metacritic hasn't ****ing helped one bit! http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/littlebigplanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 2 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 2 November, 2008 Did not realise LittleBigPlanet was not yet out. 96% is awesome score! I still have no idea what it is about, are they like aliens or something? Also at 2pm tommorrow the review embargo will lift for Gears 2,Resistance 2 and the new Call of Duty 5 game. Should be an interesting day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 Got Fallout 3 now, struggled with it for a little while but have finally decided it's awesome. Unbelievably large area to explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 4 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 4 November, 2008 Well thus far review wise Gears 2 has a 96% metascore (22 reviews) and Resistance 2 has 90% (10 reviews). Both doing very well indeed. Surprised Gears 2 topped LBP score of 95% though. Fallout 3,Dead Space,Fable II,LittleBigPlanet,Resistance2,Gears2 all done superb. Now hopefully RacePro and Left4Dead deliver and im then officially broke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Posted 4 November, 2008 Share Posted 4 November, 2008 Gears of War 2 and LittleBigPlanet both have 95. When will someone top GTA4s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
