i understand, and pretty much feel the same way, but humanoid enemies is enough to sell me on this game. also, the serpent thingy can make for some interesting puzzles to solve.

6/24/2007 12:19:46 PM

maybe. its always possible i just havent played a decent one of these before. ill probably give it a shot since my gamefly queue is short.

6/24/2007 12:32:04 PM

6/24/2007 12:34:49 PM

yep, good deal...

if they put a game on sale for $50 the first week when it comes out, im more likely to get it, haha

they should do more of that

6/24/2007 2:12:14 PM

only thing that sucks is that i have to buy it outright instead of doing trade-ins. but i am going to get it from eb for this reason, otherwise i would go cc all the way.

6/24/2007 2:36:56 PM

let me know how the multiplayer is. being a darkling in multiplayer might make for some interesting times.

look at these executions in the darkness

That game looks alright but I'll probably hold out for the sequel Twin Brother Darkness

"Lumines Saves the Planet Proceeds from latest downloadable content pack going to charity. by Rob Burman, IGN UK UK, June 22, 2007 - Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the creator of Lumines, has always been a free-thinker and pioneer but no one could have predicted that with his next raft of downloadable skins for Lumines Live! he'd choose to donate part of the proceeds to climate protection charities. That's right, from June 27 if you buy the Tokyo Club Mix Pack (aka SOS Charity Campaign Pack) for 350 Microsoft Points, you can rest easy about your carbon footprint for a while because you're donating to non-government organisations that are fighting climate change. Contained within the pack are four tunes from the "hottest DJs, artists and VJs" from the Tokyo club scene, including a remix of Heavenly Star by Genki Rockets, House66 by Sugiurum, 4x4 Bricks by Techriders and Cosmic Humming by Muku. Mizuguchi's band Genki Rockets is also taking part in the Live Earth concert in July - an event organised by environment-loving politician Al Gore to raise awareness about global warming. Mizuguchi was delighted to be involved. "I was overjoyed and surprised when I received the news," he said. "It was only a year ago that I started working on Genki Rockets with a simple concept in mind - in 30 years from now, what kind of song would a 17-year-old girl from outer space who has never landed on Earth sing to those living on Earth?" If you hate the environment and girls from outer space, then there's always the option of getting a Lumines booster pack for 600 Microsoft Points, which doesn't include any donation to charitable causes and is also available from June 27. It features 20 skins however, some of which have never been seen before in a Lumines title."

For anyone that still plays Lumines like myself.

Kevin Durant will be the cover boy for March Madness 08, but everyone would probably know that with the commercials with Agent Zero and all. Too bad this game will stink just like last year's game.

6/26/2007 9:22:32 AM

they still haven't announced the coverboy for Nba 2k8

Probably will at E3

I say its B diddy

6/26/2007 9:40:23 AM

^I say Dwight Howard, but Baron Davis will do too.

I think Oden is going to be on NCAA 2K8. Either him or Noah.

6/26/2007 9:42:37 AM

thats an ugly picture for the cover...

so im reading darkness reviews...this was mentioned

Quote :

"Darkness powers aside, the shooting action is great, if not particularly revolutionary. Auto-targeting makes aiming in the heat of a firefight a relative breeze, and you'll eventually have a wide array of weapons to choose from, starting with a pair of pistols and working up to automatic shotguns and assault rifles. Most of the weapons can be used for close-up execution moves, too, which deliver a random visual payoff - like, say, a gun shoved into a bad guy's mouth and fired, or a quick rifle-butt followed by a spray of bullets to the face - while cleanly killing a target in one move."

6/26/2007 9:56:53 AM

cool buts pales to Manhunt 2

suppsosedly you can castrate people in that game

hence the AO rating

6/26/2007 2:03:25 PM

I wish I still had time to play video games all the time

6/26/2007 2:46:12 PM

i got the darkness on my lunch break, now all i have to do is get off of work and rush home in a road rage to play it!

6/26/2007 2:59:50 PM

Fuck all this. I hooked up the old XBox and have been playing the copy of San Andreas that I got at Best Buy for $19.99.

6/26/2007 3:15:58 PM

gta-sa works just fine on the 360. i played it for a long time when the 360 first launched because i did not like what was out.

6/26/2007 3:26:40 PM

^ It does?! Shit.

compatible xbox games on xbox 360

6/26/2007 3:43:00 PM

yeah all the GTA games are backwards compatible

none of the sports titles are...but GTA is

6/26/2007 3:43:36 PM

it has better textures on the 360 and the anti-aliasing makes it look even better. also, little touches stand out on the 360 that you will not see on the xbox like cracks in the pavements on the highways.

6/26/2007 4:40:11 PM

ahahahahahaha

yeah i am about to do they same thing

goody goody

6/26/2007 4:51:01 PM

Finally beat RAAM on Gears

One of those weird things where you try for like 3 hours and get frustrated as hell

Then come back 2 days later and beat him on like the the 3rd try and you wonder how it was ever that hard

Started Hardcore afterwards, like treetwista said earlier, its not any harder than I remember Casual being, but thats probably because I've gotten better at the game

6/26/2007 5:51:59 PM

word, yeah i mine as well sell it before ncaa 08!

6/26/2007 6:49:40 PM

it's pretty awesome

6/26/2007 8:06:49 PM

it is pretty awesome, i just kissed jenny and got an achievement, haha, shes hot

6/26/2007 8:16:30 PM

the darkness is bad ass.

i will give a brief summary of what i think (out of 10):

graphics-8.5 (hd all right, good textures, but could have been better)
animations-7.5 (the actual animation of the characters' movements, not the played-out executions)
sound-9.0 (great sounds - could have used more explosions and things to shoot to blow up)
value-8.5 (for $60,with slightly above par replay value. the collectibles and tv shows are good bonuses)
enjoyment-10 ('the darkness powers' sounds lame but are a superb adaption to and great fps)

overall (not an average) - 9.0

the balancing of the Jackie's abilities and the enemies is top notch. it seems that this game has poor ai - which it does, but on purpose. even though your enemies are dumb at times, they tend to be numerous, and come right at you, a lot of the time. this is great way to balance out the fact that your darkness powers, and guns work better in close quarters. also, the fact that bullets are somewhat limited; its easily to run out of bullets in the game, if you don't watch it, two ways, one by shooting enemies far away from you, it takes more bullets to kill them, even when they fall to the ground they will get back up. the second way is more obvious, which is just plain out being a bad shot, coupled with what i think is a small reticle area, which is another reason i think that i think bullets were limited because you save ammo big time by performing executions with one or two shots or killing an enemy that 10 feet away from you with a shot or two. this is a very intimidating game and presents a unique fps challenge. i am playing it on hard by the way.

i mean im not a gamer nerd, but thats the way the AI works in GoW, at least in my experience

6/26/2007 10:28:50 PM

^ it is that way with any game. you'd think you'd get better by practicing, but by that time you are either super frustrated or rushing because you've been doing it so long. you take a break and can go back, using all that practice, calm and ready to go. thats how i see it.

^^ yeah, cuz it runs on an emulator so you need to store some emulator info or something.

6/26/2007 10:34:07 PM

I haven't actually completed a chapter/level/anything in it yet, but switching between robot mode and vehicle mode in the Transformers game is cool as shit.

6/26/2007 11:11:50 PM

ugh, now i'm considering getting the darkness from CC this week

I wish i didn't open this thread anymore, it always convinces me to buy games, lol

6/27/2007 11:23:15 AM

i dont have very many powers right now, i can only summon the heads but they dont attack or anything yet, they just devour hearts...and i can summon one darkling

do you like point at place with the crosshairs and click X to send the darkling there?

i assume as i get the other 3 darkness powers is when i can control a snake arm and eat people or whatever

6/27/2007 12:18:05 PM

the first scene with the gunner darkling is crazy (the train scene)

6/27/2007 12:22:30 PM

so does the darkness seem like it was worth buying?

6/27/2007 2:22:27 PM

naw

6/27/2007 2:40:20 PM

sarcasm or no?

I'm just hesitant after reading some reviews that say replay value and such is not so good.

[Edited on June 27, 2007 at 2:49 PM. Reason : fhds]

6/27/2007 2:48:39 PM

man

buy the game

beat it

re-sell on ebay for 40 and its like you only put 25 bucks into the game; you have to spend something

[Edited on June 27, 2007 at 2:52 PM. Reason : asdf]
