Yeah, its disappointing. I guess it just doesn't click with some people. I'm glad people enjoy it, just wish I was one of them. At least I didn't purchase it day one.

I was in essence asking for his clarified opinion, you dumbass.

Shank 1 & 2 FTW this generation. I really didn't like Scott Pilgrim, it's a pretty game, but boring as hell.

BTW finally got AC II and I feel dirty for using so many space points for a saga It never really interested me. But as everyone says it's the best AC at least if I ever play one of the saga it will be this one. As a side note, Resident evil saga never interested me and now I'm playing RE4HD in profesional difficulty. Amazing game.

Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands was 400 MSP during the GoD sale this June

Shank 1 was awesome. Waiting on a sale on 2 so yea that is probably a great one too. Can we count the SoR remake if it hasn't officially been sanctioned or released? Regarding DD for iPhone, nope, I just straight missed that one. As soon as it drops to my $0.99 price point I'll get it. Until then it can wait.

Adventure games? Meh, I haven't played anything really good in a long time. I played through the first 2 seasons of Sam & Max recently and they were good, but nothing special at all. Funny, but only sporadically.

I'm still going to have to disagree about SP not being great. I contend it is an all around great game. It won't be remembered because nobody played it. That doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a special place in history. It's not an epic game or the best that ever existed or anything, but it's still great fun.

Is RollingSkull a... a Double Dragon V fan?

I can't seem to squeeze any fun out of it at all while playing, and its not due to the difficulty mind you. I just find it uninspired and would always rather be doing/playing something else.

Wow, I'm loving spelunky! It's tough but I just enjoy the fun gameplay a lot. It works wellon me!

For Revelations, is the Lost Archive DLC worth the 400? Getting the game, dont wanna waste points for lame DLC

N-n-now wait a minute. Let's not be hasty here. I clearly, plainly misspoke.

You don't just SAY that about a man.

I will agree to disagree with you on SP. DD on Iphone likely won't drop though. I think the devs are foreign enough that they don't "get" Ibuzz.

And Shank 2 is SUCH a marked improvement that I cannot even play Shank 1 again. It's just that good. While you wait, you should check to see the update notes for Shank 1. They went back and redid that to have right-stick dodging among other things.

I'm here for you.

only if you like the parts of AC:R where you play as desmond. i hated that part and wouldn't pay to play it again.

Your probably right about Double Dragon on iPhone. It dropped to $2 last july and there hasn't been any change since so I might have to cave and just buy it.

Maybe I should go back and play through Shank 1 again. I really did enjoy it. I'm kind of expecting Shank 2 to go on sale during the holidays.

Only get it if you want the achievements. Seriously. It's awful. Watch a bit of it on YouTube.

Speak for yourself. Best soundtrack for a video game in the past 10+ years, heartwarming 8-bit sprites/art style (by Paul Robertson), a movie game that's actually REALLY good = very memorable.

I did, and I love it still. To me, it's between Spelunky and Fez for XBLA game of the year.

LOL with the key.

In retrospect it is amazing how hard it was at the time and how easy is now.

Its actually a comic game.

Oh really? I watched the movie the day it came out, beat the game when it first released, but I can't believe I missed that this was a Comic/Graphic Novel.

I said "Movie Game" because there's not a lot of good ones out there, specifically ones that are 2D. That and "Comic Game" doesn't really have enough titles to form a genre, unless you're counting games like Arkham City, X-Men Destiny, any TMNT game, Gotham City Impostors, Marvel vs Capcom, or stuff like that because they're based off comic book characters. I don't hear people ever use that term.

Anybody here hate stealth games and play Splinter Cell? I hear about it being a departure or whatever but I really hate the stealth genre. However, playing through Dishonored twice showed me I enjoy more when I don't feel forced into it. I hated Deus Ex because it preached not only being stealth then gave no ammo or anything at the start.

My point being the reason that its good is because its source material is far more than a cheap movie tie-in cash grab.

I'm terrible at stealth games, but Splinter Cell is no where as unforgiving as Deus Ex, where if you put your stats in one thing over the other you're kinda ed in playing that way. Splinter Cell gives you multiple paths to take down enemies, like say wait for a patrol to split up or put them in alert by destroying a car light then take them down one by one. That and it gives you enough bullets and gadgets to not make it too overwhelming.
