GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009

Well after much dilly dallying over deciding whether or not to get Halo ODST I finally pre-ordered it over the weekend. I am hoping it turns up soon but I got a good deal for it so I don't mind a few days delivery really.

In other gaming decisions, I am looking forward to next month but sure howdy my wallet won't be

I am very interested in:

Uncharted 2 - I have seen some reasonable pre-order deals, one where you get to try the multiplayer beta from the day you order until about 4 days before the games actual release. I think I may pre-order this one soon so I can give the multiplayer a whirl.

Brutal Legend - I had very very little anticipation for this game originally. However, after watching a quick look video on another web site, I am very much interested in this game now. It looks great, has humour and the multiplayer seems to make this one worth getting sooner rather than later possibly.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 - Loved the demo, there were issues but as I rarely (if ever) complete seasons on Fifa but do on PES, I think this will be the game for me out of the two.

Borderlands - I am doubting this game. However, I am going to give it more time, the videos I have seen may be poorly done in terms of how it feels to play the game, much like the Fallout 3 trailers did for me (I was not looking forward to that until I saw a Brotherhood trailer where they were fighting outside of GNR, man that was epic and switched me on with that game).

Thats about it for main games, Football Manager I will likely pick up some time but I will wait till I get bored of the old season stats on FM 08 before buying this I think. Scribblenaughts is another game I have some degree of interest in but its a DS game and I really dont like paying top dollar for a handheld game to be honest.

I will let you ladies and gents know how ODST has turned out along with Beatles Rock Band later on no doubt. There will be more games to come probably but as it stands those are the ones I am interested in getting.

Anyway, let me hear what you are after (if anything) and any questions or what not let me know.

Adios amigos.

Nice, you pre-ordered Halo 3 OST. Have fun with that one. I won't be getting it for a while, haven't really played any games as of late. Out of those, I want Uncharted 2 the most, but it'll wait 'till Black Friday/Christmas when I also get the first. Have fun, man.

Borderlands was originally slotted to be a photorealistic style of game, and now they have developed it more from an artist's concept perspective... looks like a gritty cel shaded sort of style, which i think really adds to the type of game it is; i think it's gonna be really nice

The gameplay trailers i have seen (especially the one that was multiplayer) didn't thrill me too much, but then again i don't want to see too much story or detail anyway, that just spoils the surprise. What it does tell me is what movement and targeting is like, what the environment looks like and how you interact with it, which all looks great to me ^__^

ODST looks ok, but the wound efect is really annoying ie the screen gets progressively redder until you pretty much can't see anything. Hmm.

I rented ODST, but I'll have to wait on playing it until it gets here from Gamefly.

I like the look of Brutal Legend but might hatred of Jack Black might prevent me from ever playing it.

Excellent. We'll need to contact Benny about games on Firefight, should be fun with an army of Sgt Johnsons going around

Fun playing with you the other day. Would like to play with Loopy as well, but with TortureHurts and Philantrophy there isn't space... but we probably won't all be on at the same time. I definitely want all the achievements, so we'll have to play Firefight a lot, and of course there are some 4-player co-op achievements like in Halo 3. And even after the achievements are done, Firefight is damn fun once you get into it, especially with the Chopper on Last Platoon!

Firefight is good fun - enjoy!
