Nukem only has a 5.7 rating on Gamefly with 1300+ rankings. Oh well. Shooters make my eyes gloss over if they don't offer something unique within the first 30 seconds of gameplay.

Sending the...

It has flaws. But, imo, the way the story-line and options all come together for the last half of the game is impressive.

Dragon Age II

B-

The story/writing is impressive just for the sheer size and cohesiveness of it. But, the environment artwork is really second-rate and the general gameplay feels...

Civilization Revolution on XBox.

Not bad. Has some of the addictive qualities of the series. But, lacks the large-scale gritty strategy aspect of the PC versions.

Also, it doesn't have any kind...

Heavy Rain

I was skeptical about this game. Even after the first few times I played it I was disappointed. But, now, after getting used to the idea and almost being through the entire thing, I...

Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions

Interesting so far. However, feels like a watered down version of a few existing games (Assassins Creed + Ghost Recon). Playable though. Will follow up once I get...

I wouldn't want to risk damaging the TV.

Medal of Honor, Halo Reach:
Meh. But, I'm biased against shooters. I've been burnt out on them since the end of the Counterstrike era.

Fallout 3: New Vegas:
Addictive as the last. Though, I...

The cut scenes are atrocious and there's no way to skip them. But, if anyone likes strategy games, I thought R.U.S.E. was pretty good.

Mafia II is decent as well. Definitely some flaws. But, the...

Thanks for the tip. Removed it from my Q.

Bioshock 2 - Well done. But, I just couldn't get into another shooter at the moment.

Lost Planet 2 - Has some cool moments. I can see what the reviews were onto though. You end up fighting the...

Yeah. It's part of the regular routine for my son and I to play one Lego game or another before bed. There are surprisingly few game options of quality for his age group.

He has played Wii Fit...

Depends on what type of games you're into. But, these are my recommendations:

Mass Effect 2
Assassin's Creed
Oblivion
Fallout 3

That would keep you busy for about 6-8 months. :D

Singularity: Meh.

Formula. Below average shooter.

Hate it when doors that you can open look exactly the same as doors you can't. Might cut my losses and skip hours of running up to doors to see...

Lego Harry Potter is pretty good (as are all the other Lego series) for kids.

About to fire up Singularity for the first time. Arrived from Gamefly today. Will report...

Interesting. I really liked Mass Effect 2. I normally can't stand video game stories and cut scenes. But, the production quality of the graphics, 3D, etc. kept me interested.

I see your points...

For kids, the new Toy Story 3 game is really well done.

Whoops. Playstation only. I have 360.



You hit the nail on the head. Loved Oblivion and Fallout. DragonAge seems to be an attempt to start a console port of World of Warcraft. I never could get...

Is that a thumbs up or down for Uncharted 2?

Disappointed with Dragon Age so far. Seems like a game that would have fit in 5 years ago. Going to give it one more session. Probably sending it back unless something interesting happens...

Thank...

Sorry. I didn't know they had that program. I just got an email today explaining the referral system. Doh!

I took the leap. Dragon Age shipped because Alan Wake wasn't available.



Good to know. The only game I seem to play multi-player is NCAA Football, which I'll buy anyway.



How do you earn...

I could definitely get through more than 1 game in a month most of the time. The problem for me is that I buy NCAA Football every year and play it exclusively for about 3 months during football...

I'm the same way. Lots of games collecting dust.

22.95/month for 2 games at a time is a bit more than I hoped though. The price comes out to cover buying 4.6 $60 games per year. Which is pretty...

Same impression of Wake. Seems like something I want to try but is half the value of other games.

What company do you use to rent games?
