ModNation Racers | Alan Wake.

[MacRumorUser]

Both games essential purchases for me.

Early reviews put them pretty much level with 9/10 from most reviews, with Eurogamer giving both a hard time and scoring them a 7

Anyone else picking up these titles?

This month I'm getting 3D Dot Game Heroes, Red Dead Redemption, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and ModNation Racers.

ModNation looks awesome, and I loved the beta -- expect for the... beta bugs (lag), but it sounds like those are mostly gone. Alan Wake looks pretty awesome, but it might be a little short. I'm tempted, and I've got a chance at getting some extra money... if that happens, I'll probably get it, if not I really need to save for college spendings :P.

Definitely picking up ModNation Racer.

MRU, I sent you friend-add requests today, maybe we can race in a few weeks. (I found two different PSN ID's in different threads, so I sent adds to both... :confused: )

Busy month. Alan Wake, Galaxy 2 and Red Dead... ugh... Might wait on Alan Wake since it seems like a $30 game for me (8 hour campaign doesn't = $60 anymore for me...) and maybe wait on Red Dead.

Watching the Alan Wake quick look on Giantbomb got me excited though. Lighting looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Mod Nation Racers was great with the beta was really fun and I'm not even a Racing genre fan I'll probally pick it up but I'm also trying to save up for a Air Port Extreme since my current router is on the fridnge of dying two ports are acting up other than that its ok and i coudl use a new router with beter coverage to

The $20 gift card w/ Amazon pre-order sold me on Red Dead. Galaxy comes with $20 in game credit too!

(on top of that, I have a ton of Amazon credit, so this entire month + more will cost $0)

Sugar!!!!


Just checked release calendar. Too many games this month :rolleyes:

Alan Wake
3D Dot Heroes
Prince of Persia : Forgotten Sands
Red Dead Redemption
Modnation Racers
Split Second
Lego Harry Potter Yrs 1-4


:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
I need to get selective :D

[Taustin Powers]

Whoa, busy month! :eek:

I'll probably pick up ModNation at release. Red Dead Redemption whenever I get tired of Just Cause 2's open world (could be sooner or later...).

3D Dot Heros looks like fun, but really I still need to beat my current playthrough of A Link To The Past. That's the exact same kind of fun, and I don't need to spend more money on it! :)

Split/Second....I guess I'll try the demo. But I doubt I will buy another racing game until they make another Burnout that's better than Paradise.

[Taustin Powers]

Just read up on Alan Wake a little. Every 12 months or so, along comes an XBox exclusive that makes me a little jealous. Guess it's that time of the year again! :D The good news is, the games which have made me jealous so far ended up on PS3 a year later as well (Bioshock, Monkey Island...). Maybe there is hope... :rolleyes:

[Taustin Powers]

Played the Split/Second demo today, and it left me feeling "meh". It's obviously a one-trick-pony, and it does its one trick pretty well. It just doesn't really do much for me besides make me play more Burnout Paradise. :D I think Criterion just really nailed that genre for me. There's a reason why Burnout is my only platinum trophy. :rolleyes:

Been playing Alan Wake collectors edition. It's great, and it looks amazing. Remedy were right, sub-HD is not an issue when post processing, textures, draw distance, special effects & lighting are all as good as this. Up with the likes og God of War 3 as one of the prettiest games this gen (in a murky town sort of way).

Also been playing 3D dot heroes. Good, very Zelda nostalgia..

[macfan881]

this was epic http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/05/17/modnation-racers-artist-spotlight-kevin-butler-nuff-said/

[spyker3292]

If Alan Wake is still $50 on Amazon next week I might get it. But I've got too many games that I'm currently playing.

[MacRumorUser]

Got Modnation today.... :).

No time to play it yet though :(

[macfan881]

had just about to order Mod Nation racers till i saw amazon had God of War 3 on sale for 43 with a $10 future purchase card so i think ill pick up GOW 3 first since i have yet to purchase that and its on sale to and MNR will be my future purchase with tha card.

Just loaded Mod Nation up. Time to crack open a Yuengling and go racing

[Taustin Powers]

So what's the general take on Modnation? Worth the price of admission?

Still planning to pick it up, but I simply have too many games to play right now...

[Taustin Powers]

So at least a couple of you have been playing Modnation Racers for a few weeks now.

What's the verdict? As good as it looks on paper? Online play any good?

Still trying to decide if/when I should pick it up.

I think you should rent it first. It hasn't been a game that's held my attention since buying it.
