Anybody got God of War or new Gears of War? Haven't bought either, just wondering if they're any good...

 

God Of War hasn't come out well with reviews, they reckon it's the worst of the bunch (by some distance too) but Gears of War has been raved about.

 

There's a new 'spawn intelligence' system or something, so that there will never be the same AI enemies in any one walkthrough.

 

They say it works brilliantly well, you can walk into one room on a single playthrough and be completely over run by 10's of locust soldiers and the next time that you play (and enter the same room), you'll come across a lesser amount of AI's but a much more powerful enemy, like a corpser.

 

Keeps you on your toes.

Can't wait to play Infinate. I'm trying to be sensible and finishing the games I've already got but I'm so tempted to pick it up. Is Columbia as good as Rapture Avin?

 

I only played a quarter of Bioshock 2, so don't remember too much.

 

I like the art of the series. I found it a bit weird, as the same faces kept repeating, but figured it was deliberate. Like always though, the serenity and beauty explodes into violence.

Scared me then! Thought Battlefield was already out!

 

For me COD is really over-rated, the graphics haven't changed that much over the years and the only thing it's good for is the multiplayer if you want a laid-back session online. I'd probably go on Battlefield MP if I could get used to it but I'm too used to the original Black Ops.

I was playing, a short while ago, The Getaway Black Monday, 2004 release. Evidently too old to be playing these things maybe, but I have played it before and went a long way and it's such a great release. Completed about 90 per cent now, but will have to leave the final stages for another time.

PS3 Game?

 

Yeah, Uncharted is PS exclusive.

The Getaway is brilliant, haven't played it for years.

I get to drive recklessly, putting people in harms way, knocking over pedestrians and crashing other vehicles off the road, shooting and blasting people with a wide array of automatic weapons and general misbehavior and no harm comes out of it. Does get rid of some frustrations maybe.

 

I may have another go very soon but only because I got to near the end and I'm kind of eager to finish this. Once again, maybe a little too old to be getting involved in these types of things (now)

Have you tried GTA Dalziel? It's a bit more commercial than The Getaway but is a similar sort of game so I think you'd like it :).
