Game opinions please...

[ThunderPants73]

I want to try some new games, have any of you guys played any of the following? and if so, what did you think of them?

Alan Wake
Heavy Rain
Wolfenstein

I've already played and enjoyed the following so any similar recommendations would be welcome:

Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2
Resistance FOM
Uncharted
MGS4
Resi 5

I didn't like:

Uncharted 2
Army of 2/TFD
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.
Bloody Tomb Raider Underworld.

I've just ordered Call of Duty 4 MW. I know some of these are a little dated but I'm a little way behind with this gaming lark.....

Cheers poppets.....

Wolfensteins quite an old game.. Not sure if you;d be happy with the graphics!!!





If though you mean Return to Castle Wolfenstein then I enjoyed it

I actually meant the Wolfenstein for the Xbox360/PS3.
Gawd, the picture above reminds me of DOOM, the first case of game-based travel sickness I ever had....

Heavy Rain is a very good game but it depends if you like that type of thing. For me it was very enjoyable. You have mutiple choices which effect how the storey plays out. The gameplay is probably not like anything you've played before. During the actions Sequences its hitting buttons in a certain order or a certain way. The games movement layout is also very strange with R2 to walk but once you get used to it its very good.

The graphics are some of the best I've seen in a game and the character models are also very good though thats probably because its was mostly done with motion capture. Its has a great soundtrack that help build suspense to.


Alan Wake I picked up recently and its brilliant imo. Its kind of got a Silent Hill feel to it. Again this is more of a storey driven game. The locations are stunning looking and you almost feel your really there through most of the game. It will have you second guessing whats going on again and again to.

You have a flashlight throughout most of the game and it moves and lights up areas very realistically. The best I've seen this done in a game.

Probably not very helpful I know but am useless at reviews, they both get a big thumbs up from me though. Haven't played Wolfenstein so can't comment on that one sorry.

I think you've sold me on AW. Thanks.

Well I recomment GTA:IV plus add-ons (The Lost and Damned & The Ballad of Gay Tony)

The missions are good plus you can spend countless hours exploring the whole map.

I'm afraid I don't enjoy driving-based games, but thanks for the input.

here's a few more- Dead Space, it has a good story although it might make you jump of the sofa in places.
BIoshock has some good moral dilemmas its the only fps that i've played again and again.
anyway just a few ideas, happy gaming

Yeah I used to play that, but you need insane hardware to get decent frame rates!
