Post by Trias »

check this game out...i went and paid it off in full already...should be in stores on the 31st; i've been hearing nothing but great things about it

http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=5670&type=mov

this is the first release in a planned trilogy of games...think action/shooter/rpg in a futuristic alien setting and you have this game...also this game is supposed to have more going on on-screen during gameplay than any other game out there for xbox

Looks very cool, however I could see it being very hard to control all those moves it looks like you have available. Interesting to see how they map it out.

I wish games were as enthralling and amazing as trailers make them out to be. That looks freakin' amazing. It said it is out for PC as well. Hmmm...I have an Xbox...got it last year...have less than 2 hours of total playtime on the damn thing. May have to check this out for PC!

I saw a preview for this during "THE TWENTY" (god I hate the Twenty) before Star Wars Ep3. Looked asstastic.

Tommy Tallarico is a big part of this game in the sound department so he was praising it during his interview with the designer i believe it was. took a long time to make this game, somewhere around three years. looks decent.

i like it a lot...the only complaint i have is the intense slow down in framrate at times...but because of the intuitive targeting system this doesn't really hinder game play...i give it a 7.5 out of 10

great sound too!

Friend has loaned it to me, and I feel the absolute need to bump this... It has been a long time since a game truely had me interested in the plot and enjoying almost every second of gameplay. The only complaints I have are very minor.. all in all this game is an amazing peice of work imo.
