It wasn't that funny neither; there was at best 2-3 jokes I chuckled at the whole game.
Fun though I thought. Reminded me of X-men Origins: Wolverine game.
I think they tried to pull a Duke-Nukem/Daikatana with a Marvel license, but I just couldn't get past the ty gameplay...

GTA SA
10/10. Freakin' masterpiece.
A few games..
Total War: Shogun 2 - Jury is out on the score as I haven't played too much. I like the mechanics thus far, and watching damn near a thousand units skirmish is impressive. Game runs with 4x MSAA locked at 60 FPS which is a must for me.
Hitman Absolution - Score pending. I was stupid not to play this sooner. I listened to all the fanboys whining about how the game was "not a real Hitman game" because it is more linear. IDGAF TBH, the game is a of a lot of fun. Graphics are amazing and run locked at 60 FPS with 4x MSAA also.
Deadpool - 7/10 - ElNono will disagree, but I thought this game was a sleeper hit. High Moon has done well with the Transformer games, and I think they did a good job with this one as well. After unlocking all the weapons and their upgrades, the combat becomes a lot more fun. The graphics look amazing on Ultra settings. I like the sense of humor w/ this game, and the way the game will pay homage to other genres like the top down dungeon crawlers (Zelda) and side scrollers. You have to be a geek at heart to appreciate some of the jokes, but he spits out a lot of raunchy adult too.
Watching it on YouTube, it does look hilarious. Isn't the combat repe ive and boring though?
Nah, not really. It has a sword or a sai as a primary weapon, and he is able to use dual wield pistols, SMG's, shotguns, and a plasma rifle. Each weapon has an upgrade tree, and unlockable moves/combos. The game is pretty violent, and allows you to dismember the enemies realistically. Blowing heads off with two guages doesn't get old to me. The game is not extremely long, so I don't think you will have enough time to get bored. The game has the hack and slash / fighting elements like God of War, Arkham City, Sleeping Dogs, but also has the third person shooter elements also.
The levels are pretty awesome at points as well. The first level has you climbing a huge skyscraper while rain is pouring with lightning strikes going off in the distance. You then plumett off the building after the boss battle using an enemy as a cushion as you break through the street and into the sewer, which then transitions into the next level, the sewer.
I would recommend a rental, or a sale purchase as there is no multiplayer, replay value is the only issue I foresee with this one.
I'm finally playing through Max Payne 3 having bought it forever ago, so far the story is pretty good and the gameplay is good but not amazing. We'll see where it goes from here...I'm on Chapter 5 right meow
Tomb Raider: 5/10
Story was thin/weak, combat was repe ive, can't stand hoards of incompetent enemies, I like the Deus Ex style where every downed enemy is an accomplishment. Dialogue was cheesy and none of the characters were interesting, likeable, or fleshed out. but the environment was impressive and the Prince of Persia style climbing and jumping is always fun
Mark of The Ninja - 8/10 - Surprisingly well done 2D stealth/ninja game. Great animation and graphic style, from the makers of Shank 1 and 2. Addictive gameplay - Fun to stalk your prey, swoop in for the kill, and hide the bodies to avoid alarms. It's cheap as well, was just 2.00 on a Steam sale.
Might have to dust off my copy and finally finish it.
It's actually been pretty entertaining and it's actually somewhat difficult, not as easy as the first one, I've died a load because I always try to just blast everyone but you have to take your time in this one
Candy Crush
7/10
Sleeping Dogs: havent finished it yet, but so far 8.5/10
I just saw there is a Sleeping Dogs game with vampires and
WTF
sleeping dogs: 8.0. fun but short
bioshock infinite: 8.9. not the masterpiece some suggest it is. the middle was a bit of a stuggle to get through, it got a bit boring there. the last parts save it. not to mention as a shooter its very mediocre. i know this game is all story but if most of the time you spend shooting and that mechanic sucks well thats not good
Mass Effect Trilogy
9/10
Bioshock infinite: 7/10
6/10 against the expectations of a Levine/Shock game.
it was plenty remarkable and grandiose, but contained basically none of what I loved about System Shock 2 and Bioshock.
those games had good stories, plausible settings and premises, logical progression, some good RPG elements (SS2 anyways), clear goals, the existence of the "powers" was part of the story, etc.
Infinite had none of those things, was pretty much a fantasy game, using "because of magic" liberally, and even within that context its plot was thin and haphazard, just wandering from one stage to the next for whatever reason, usually because the chick said that's where we need to go. at the final scene, I didn't even care; I was just thinking how much of a waste fully upgrading the pistol and machine gun had been.
oh yeah and gameplay was pretty dated and unstrategic too. AI was bad, no cover, no stealth, sniper sights didn't waver, you're usually thrown into the middle of a fight and never really given the chance to assess it first...
Dead Rising 2 - 5/10. In short doses going around turning zombies into piles of chunks can be fun but the story mode is just one fetch quest after another after another. For every worthwhile boss fight there was at least one more that felt cheap. I will give it props for being the first game in forever where "escort mission" didn't equal "saddle the player with a re ed bot".
Black Ops II. The single player mode sucked . Mediocrity would have been fine, but instead what few stabs it takes at ambition only serve to make highlight the laziest parts 10 fold. Multiplayer is as good as it's been since the first MW but there's so few maps and the selection system makes it possible for that narrow selection to become painfully narrow.
My usual way of rating a game is that if it's technically proficient I'd give it at least a five. If enemies can't walk through walls, my gun shoots the bad guys when I aim at them and pull the trigger, and if I don't spend half my life staring a loading screen then I'd say the developers have gone at least halfway to making a great game. And if this had been my first exposure to the series I probably would have loved it just fine. But as it stands, based off of how much I actually enjoyed playing it and how likely I am to ever play this thing again:
3/10
Arma 3
Wow. A military shooter fan's dream.
Graphics - The graphics are beautiful, assuming you own a system capable of running it. I have the game fully maxed on a 3570K and a GTX 680 with draw distance around 4K meters. Probably the best lighting effects I've ever seen in a game. The dev's created a huge 270 sq. KM world which usually means a wide open space of nothing in sandbox games, but that is not the case here. They spent a of a lot of time on the details with this one. Churches, ancient Roman ruins, underwater caves, shipwrecks, you never know what you will stumble upon.
Gameplay and Controls - The only mode I really play is CoOp. 1-60 people cooperating to secure objectives against punishing enemy AI. You are able to use armored vehicles, tanks, choppers, jets, boats, predator drones, UAV's, etc. to secure the objectives. The real fun comes when you have a team of competent players using mic's to complete objectives using a variety of resources to complete a mission. The controls are extremely difficult when starting off, however by completing the showcases, studying the key mappings, and with the help of the community you will learn the controls soon enough. You will appreciate the amount of control conventions when they start to flow naturally.
Replay Value - Huge selling point to the game. The game is basically a canvas for the mod community to run wild with. They give you the basic tools, and you are literally free to create anything you want from weapons, game scripts, single player and multiplayer missions, uniforms, vehicles, WHATEVER you want. The game has the possibility of being different everytime you play.
Overall - 9 - The only thing preventing this game from being a 10 is the optimization of the game. The FPS do drop from time to time even with systems that are 3-4x higher than the recommended specs. The game is CPU intensive, but hopefully some driver updates for the GPU will help. If you can find a server with at least 40 FPS, you should be fine. I'm just pretty stuck up when it comes to my framerates, and this is probably the only game I will accept at less than 60 FPS. Overall, the game is awesome, and a of a lot of fun with a squad/team of like minded players. Highly recommended for military shooter fans.
Payday 2 - 7.8/10. It's kind of hard to pin down a number on it because from session to session and heist to heist the overall quality of a lot of things seems to fluctuate. It definitely scores higher on design than it does for execution. There's a lot of potential for frustration, both from a myriad of technical glitches that can come out of nowhere (slowdown, crashes, cameras and guards that spot you through walls, friendly AI so useless that the single player mode might as well not exist) and from the human element. It's rare, but I've still seen it happen more than once that a well laid plan gets undone because someone gets bored and tries to go all Leroy Jenkins on a crowded bank lobby. But if you've got three friends to play with (or just the good luck to end up in a lobby with a quality team) the satisfaction of pulling off a big heist without tripping any alarms or firing a shot is a real thrill that has yet to get old.
I almost feel like I should rate it a 5.5-10/10, which would more or less average out to what I gave it.
Wolf Among Us - Episode 1: 7/10
Same mold as The Walking Dead game from the same company, which I really liked, but this episode felt too short.
AC4: BF - 8/10
If you like the series, you're going to like this one. The map is massive, and whole sailing and battling with your ship is extremely well done. still advancing the main storyline, but there's plenty of side-stuff to do.
It's out? You borrow from TPB or somethin?
Been "out" since Thursday on xbox and PS3... same with BF4 and Batman: AO...
how did you mod your box, and can you play online
