The Games Recommendation Thread. - Blu-ray Forum

Lord_Stewie · 02-22-2010, 02:18 AM

Hey everyone:

Recommend a game for everyone who are interested to check plus inquire about a game if you want recommendation for.

Rules Are:

NAME THE GAME.
NAME THE CONSOLE FOR THE GAME.
WHAT YOU LIKED/DISLIKED ABOUT THE GAME.
RATE IT ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10 WITH 1 BEING HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED AND 10 THE GAME ROCKS.

I will start:

Bioshock 2:

PS3.

The game IMO starts out slow, or for some reason I wasn't really into it at first. Gradually I began to get consumed by how amazing the game so far. Its intense, suspenseful and keeps you on your toes wondering what's next. There are mission during the game the game where I found it easy to play and others were difficult to pass. Visually its stunning to a certain degree compared to the first. Overall, I give this game a 9.5 so far only because I haven't beat it yet.

Game Trailer.

Enjoy.

Assassin's Creed II

PlayStation 3

Assassin's Creed II far exceeds the firs game in many ways. The combat is a lot smoother, the graphics are slightly better (though the first had amazing graphics to begin with), and the game is hardly repetitive which was a big complaint about the first. They have added many elements that make the game more interesting such as having more weapons and duel assassin blades. I only have two complaints, the story, while more interesting than the first, did not really catch my attention for the most part. The other complaint is the combat has a bit more tweaking before it becomes more fun, it can at times be a bit tedious.

9/10
Highly Recommended

Only one post in and someone already took mine. I really like Uncharted 2 and COD:MW2, but ACII is the best game I've ever played.

Hopefully I will be adding a post about Heavy Rain about this time next week.

One of my favorite games. Not for everyone. But I think everyone should give it a chance.

AndyTheZombie · 02-22-2010, 09:36 PM

Gears Of War 2

Xbox 360
Campaign Co-Op and Horde Mode 10/10
Online Multiplayer 7/10

Gears has some of the best campaigns i have ever played, especially with a friend. and the new Horde Mode is also excellent alone or with friends. unfortunately standard online multiplayer suffers from poor P2P connections.

Beyond Good and evil

PS2, Xbox, PC

This is easily my favorite game of all time. You really need to be a games are art kind of person to really appreciate all this game is. The combat is a bit lackluster, but combat is not what this game is about. The story is great, the character development is awesome, score is beautiful. Never have i had more fun playing a games story mode then i did with Beyond good and evil. The game has some minor camera and movement issues, but nothing i ever found takes away from the experience of playing the game. The only annoying thing can be controlling your hover craft in tight spots, but on open water it's never really an issue. I'm actually in the process of getting 3 of my favorite female characters tattooed on my leg, those being cara, a mord sith from the sword of truth series, death from neil gaimens sandman, and the last is Jade from this game. She's the one on the box cover obviously. If you can find a demo of this game, get it, if not, i recommend buying it anyway, unless story and character driven games scare you cause there isn't 20 gallons of blood on the screen at all times.

rating 9.5 It loses half a point just for the stale combat, but the rest of the games awesomeness more then makes up for that

Mike what is the game about? Never heard of it?

Edit: just did a search and found it on Wiki, I just wonder why I didn't hear about the game.

Thanks for the contributions guys.

Not really a game. More of an experience. It's not really something that's easy to describe.

Dead Space

Xbox 360 or PS3 (I played the 360 version)

3rd Person Shooter/Horror-Survival

I was reluctant to play this game initially. I downloaded the demo for the PS3 when the game first came out, but I wasn't blown away by it. As time went by I kept reading great things about it everywhere, and I even found out a friend of mine had played it and he kept telling me how good it was. I finally stumbled on it at Target for $14 so I picked it up. All I can say is WOW! I couldn't believe how much fun it is. The atmosphere is incredible. This is definitely the scariest game I've ever played. The dismemberment approach to killing enemies is an interesting departure from most shooters. There is a nice variety of weapons, and zero-G environments offer an interesting change to the game play. The ability to upgrade weapons/equipment forces you to make decisions that can affect the gameplay later in the game. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes shooters or horror/survival games.

9.5/10 - I deducted half a point because there is no multiplayer support. This game consists of a single player campaign only.

ashman1983 · 02-23-2010, 03:06 AM

eh, deadspace had no reason/need for multiplayer. the nature of the game makes it pointless. what, is one person going to play issac clark and the rest play the monsters. Least ya gave it a chance though, i have a friend who claims to love FPS games, but would buy bioshock cause it had no multiplayer i wanted to punch him.

I completely agree that Dead Space has no need for multiplayer. However, I felt I should point it out since multiplayer/online play is the main reason some people to buy games.
