Bioshock is one of the best games I've ever played on any console/system. So much so after completing it twice, months later I thought about re-buying it during a game lull.

Just played Force Unleashed for the first two levels, suprisingly good. Never played the demo mind. The cut-scenes are beautiful and the story is pretty engaging so far (obviously) and the combat seems really nice and quite deep. I'd heard it was shit but wanted it anyway and I think it's a solid game. Oh and the voice acting is pretty damn good as well.

and? how is it?

i think it looks great and loved the demo

FD · Post by FD » Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:00 pm

Well for me it's a huge suprise actually. Most of my mates had tried the demo and said it was ok but kinda crappy. I never got round to trying the demo as I already knew I was getting a freebie of it, so I was in the mindset of "I'll give it a go when I'm bored". I've had it a few days and today that day arrived.

Some of the best graphics in a game I've seen in a while ruined only by slight tearing and the occasional frame rate stutter. Audio is stunning, just wonderful. Gameplay is excellent, slightly clunky at times with the sabre (but you know that already if you've played the demo) but not exactly "bad" but the force powers and physics are where it's at, absolutely brilliant fun, outrageous throwing all and sundry around the room destroying enemies and the room itself.

The cut-scenes are mind blowingly good looking as well and the story is really engaging and interesting, supposedly bridging the gap between the first 3 (or last 3 whichever way you look at it) films and the last three (original ones) films.

2 levels in so far and I'd definitely reccomend it. It's a really fun action adventure game with good combat, lovely graphics, near perfect sound. However, if you don't like Star Wars I can't see why you'd bother.

great news

apparently if you are on the first level you need to spend time killing every stormtrooper you can, because if you get a certain number (not sure how many) you unlock major achievement points

some excellent and good quality new pro evo 09 vids here

shits on fifa, as usual

FD · Post by FD » Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:08 pm

Only 12 stormtroopers need killing and its 10/20 GS I believe. Forgot about but it's easy enough to start again I'd guess.

I love the achievement name for it though "Worst day shift manager ever"...it'll make sense when you realise who you're playing as for that one level

Don't mean this funny or 'owt, but are the two lego games suitable for a 6 year old? I get shouted at when I get called into school because he's just chinned someone playing "Call of Duty".....

Lego star wars is the business. Superb game.

FD · Post by FD » Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:19 pm

Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones are indeed awesome, no doubt Lego Batman will be great too.

Just got BioShock and Bully 2nd hand as it was a discount for 2 games. Dunno much about Bully but may be a giggle.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:44 pm

it certainly is

good call

FD · Post by FD » Wed Sep 17, 2008 3:03 pm

Bully was okay but I personally never even finished it, got bored.

Gotta say, PES09 does look rather nice, maybe I'll get both after all! Just wish they'd update stuff like the in-game timer, scores etc to look a bit nicer.
