Holiday season backlog-a-thon!

[wwooden]

Since I recently sold my Wii and my PS3 still hasn't arrived I have all the PS3 games I own to start.

I find myself staring at my GTA IV for minutes simply because I have no console to play it on.

To Start:

• LBP
• FarCry 2
• Mirror's Edge
• GTA IV
• Assassin's Creed

I quite like my starting line up, only wish I could play it now.

I personally liked Assassin's Creed, even though it was repetitive. I recommend doing all the missions and climbing all the towers. I see no value is finding all the hidden flags, especially on the PS3 since there is no achievement. But I really enjoyed the game, maybe because i took my time and did everything I could to add value.

Yay! Weekend is here! Persona 4 is wanting me to play it but I still have 50+ hours of P3 left

And Chrono Trigger DS is pretty sweet if people haven't bought it. Screw FFVI, CT is the best RPG on the SNES (well... Earthbound is very close). The SNES version is still better, but that is likely nostalgia talking. The touch controls are lame and the new translation is weird after memorizing the original BUT it includes an original cut of the game and the emulation is perfect. Sound is amazing. L0v3 me some Chrono Trigger.

I just finished up Dead Space, Fallout 3 and gears of war 2....I'm halfway done with my list.
I've been disappointed in these so called "AAA must have" games but Dead Space has proven itself better than fallout & GeoW2.

Yay I finished the main quest of Fable 2, and I am now working my way through the extra missions, and even managed to change my gender Really great game - just wish I had my poodle back ......

Really? I just can't get into Fable... It feels like an Xbox 180 game. Everything is so clunky, the graphics are average, the voice acting is grating, the "actions" you do like farting and stuff is absolutely plain ****ing dumb, the animations are horrible...

But I can't bring myself to sell it! ARGH! Everyone says "it gets fantastic when you get more abilities, etc." but I can't stand the journey to sed point.

^ Different strokes mate. There's been loads of great reviewed games this year that have left me cold.

Left 4 Dead...
Valkaryie Chronicles.....
Gears of War 2......
Starwars : Force Unleashed.....


Have them all and can't stand playing any of them for more than 30 seconds before my head explodes with a combination of bafflement, tedium and frustration.

That's true, despite having raving reviews I just CAN'T get into Far Cry 2, STALKER, Psychonauts, GTA IV and others despite the raging reviews.

Welcome to my world Excluding Brawl, Kart, L4D and LocoRoco 2 I've not enjoyed much this year despite the constantly highly rated games.

 

[2nyRiggz]

Gears of War 2, Devil May Cry 4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 was the worst games I played this year.

I actually bought Left 4 Dead over the weekend and I think its a good time waster....single player is absolutely sh** though.


List your Worst games of the year....sounds like a good thread.

HOLY GOD!! That was a backlogathon... I JUST finished Tombraider : Underworld and really enjoyed it, even if it has taken an age for me to get there. Great graphics / production values on the PS3. Look forward to the next

Hmm... well I'm still on Persona 4... I hadn't played it in a LONG while but this weekend I put 13 hours into it. Entering the final month in-game. HIGHLY recommended for RPG fans. <3 Persona.

And I added Prince of Persia too, $20 brand new so I couldn't say no
