[quote name='Alpha2']Ico is a great beautiful game. Get it, GET IT NOW. (bes comparison game wise is "more like the original Prince of Persia than the current PoP" but by no means is it cheap.) Did I mention you should get it? because you should.
EoE isnt a bad brawler, it's a bit repetative but what beat'em up isnt? The fighting system is a little clunky but has some style to it once you get going, and game play wise it has cinemas with the "quick time" events similar to Shenmue. The bad part is the characters are a little ... ugly, they could have been designed better but it's not a deal breaker. but the Voices come close, familiar professional voice actors (many brought over from The DC game Sword of the Berserk, game engin made by the same people) but the voice director must have been deaf and smoking crack. it's worth 5 bucks.
Evergrace isnt a bad action RPG for 5 bucks either, it had a cool concept with the clothing switch function, it also has two characters to go through the game separatly with. The voice acting is better than EoE but they had a volume issue with the game where some parts will be noticably louder than they should be. It's kinda slow but I think the relaxed pacing was deliberate to make you look at the scenery which is nice but kinda muted because it takes place in a domed world so the sepia color is a little abused.
Extermination, Standard Survival horror game, fighting more scary monsters rather than the classic zombies, and you must worth your health because environmental factors will hurt you just as bad as the monsters. This part is a bit annoying but I never played all the way through it to know if you get used to it.(I was using a friend's copy)
I'd pass on Run Like Hell, it's got nice looking cinemas but it has the feeling to me of a game that was rushed out the door due to tight schedualling forcing them to let some things slide which tey really shouldnt.
Some people seem to like haven... it reminded me of Ratchet & Clank which is a compliment but I never felt it had the same level of personality and chose not to bother.
I dont play FPS games, Time spliters though, if I had to choose ANY of them on this list, would be the one to get.
Dark Cloud, Good but repeative... Personally I want in my collection DC2 more but for 5 bucks, it ties with Evergrace for me I guess... Ijust never bought it.[/quote]
Very informative, thanks. I've always wanted to give Evergrace a try. Now, I just might.
