What's the verdict on Tekken 6 versus 5? "Tekken 6 is next-gen so it's better, fool" is not a satisfactory answer.

Dragon Age. Apparently I've put over 25 hours into it and I just started it last Friday.

The mechanic are better. More satisfying combos, but the damage is scaled down so that you won't get killed in 2, 3 combos. The Bound system is great IMO and there are lots of options for you to try. The Rage system is a welcoming tool for you to come back from the brink of defeat. With the patch, online is more stable now. The scenario campaign (ala Final Fight 3D) is so-so, but a great way to earn more money for the customization. All the characters are more balanced now and everyone has a chance to win, i consider this an achievement by Namco since there are more than 40 characters to balance here.

 

So, verdict is if you really like T5 or T5DR, then you will definitely love T6.

I haven't really been playing much 360 lately but I just started Darksiders today and it's pretty bad ass.

 

On the PC I've been hitting the popcap type stuff, Zuma, Peggle, Plants Vs Zombies, Trials 2. little crap like that. I'm kinda addicted to Plants Vs Zombies right now.

Uncharted - started off superbly then all it does is throw enemies at you - I wanted my adventure and puzzle solving.

Hope uncharted 2 delivers this. Kinda tedious.

 

Skate - Difficult and will take a lot of time to "memorise" the flips with the sticks!

I think if I put time into it , it will become a very rewarding game - too much to learn at first you dont know where to start.

Feel like a modern "old school" game - give it a try its cheap as chips.

when ever I don't have anything else to play I always go back to Skate 2. it's my favorite game of this generation, hands down.

Is it worth it when you put time in to it?

[L.S.D]

MW2, but laggy today :/

[Agozer]

Bayonetta. The loading times are still pretty long, but so far I haven't seen any horrendous framerate issues or anything like that. It's nice that after a certain point, the game let's you practice combos while waiting for stuff to load.

 

Yes, the game is absolutely balls awesome. Dante and Nero met their match, and now all the gamers have a new hottie to gawk at.

^ So is it awesome or do you need more time?

I Completely slaughtered Crisis Core, enjoyed all cutscenes, completed most of the side missions, (which granted me rare Materia like Graviga and Curaga), I was able to defeat each boss within one try, and I also demolished the final Genesis boss, whose health capacity was considerably infinite.

Well, let me put it this way... if a game makes you laugh out loud and pick your jaw off the floor after the first five minutes, you're going to have a hell of a good time playing. The game 1 Ups itself constantly, too. It's really no surprise what made Famitsu give the game 40/40. Well, the developers are the same who worked on DMC, so I was expecting over the top presentation - just not at this scale.

 

The game's also fairly hard, at least on Normal (and if you're trying to get the best rankings, which requires no items usage among other things), and you're often fighting many enemies at once and there's lots of unexpected boss/mid-boss fights. The combat system is really deep while not being too hard to understand.

 

Go play it, or at least play the demo first.
