The Video Game Thread

I just started playing Uncharted 2 last night. WOW, what a GAME. Graphically it looks absolutely incredible. Playing it feels more like an interactive movie than a normal video game. The character acting is great, I didn't play Uncharted 1, but after playing just the first few levels of this game, I think I may have to go pick that up just for the story.

The character animations are absolutely the most fun I've seen in any game, even counting the Splinter Cell series. The stealth moves are so satisfying, I was laughing out loud with glee just watching them happen.

I haven't tried the multiplayer yet, but I can't wait because I've heard good things about that as well.

Went out and bought Uncharted 2, never played the first. Now to gather funds for next month's barrage

Amazon's running a buy 2, get 1 free much like Toys R Us. I wasn't planning on buying anything else for a while, but it's tough to pass on that so we'll see.

It is on select titles and nothing too recent.

I just beat the first chapter in Uncharted 2. The animations and the leaving the footprints in the snow make the graphics in the game top notch.

You and Teknetic should definately invest in Uncharted 1. You could probably find it for around $20 used now. Game can be beaten in 8-10 hours and has decent replay value. The 8-10 hour of gameplay is fun throughout without any stale points that would seem tacked on to include game length.

Lucked out and ganked Uncharted 1 from a cousin. I started playing part 2, completely epic stuff.

IGN gave SvR 2010 an 8.5, which is a big improvement over last year's 7.8! That makes me feel much better about preordering.

I think I am going to get a PS3 Keyboard on Amazon for 20 bucks for my CAS's. I have a 5 dollar credit from Uncharted 2 and Smackdown gives a 10 buck credit so that means a keyboard will only be 5 bucks.

What's the better game: NHL2K10 or NHL10? I'm used to playing 2K so I bought the new one, but the guys in the store said the EA one is better.

EA's NHL10, by a long shot.

[DEADSOX]

NHL '10, and it's not even close.

[THEBOSS84]

Damn it.

[TheYankee]

I'm not even a big hockey fan, but I'm completely addicted to NHL 10.

[xxltaco]

just picked up godfather II for the heck of it.

for $29 new, you really can't beat it.

especially if you like famous scenes being redone by lame actors.

You would think that you would have taken their advice. The only good sports games that 2k makes are basketball games.

For now on you should start using

Gamerankings.com. It averages every review and puts up links to the reviews. NHL 2k10 average review was around 69. NHL 10 average review was around 89 out of 100.

You're behind. That's been out for months.

Alright, the view from atop the hotel was incredible. Best looking game I've ever played, holy balls.

Did you take a swim in the pool?

[teknetic]

Yea, I jumped in there mistakenly and "Marco" "Polo" lines had me rolling. The dialogue is superb.

Uncharted 2. If you have a PS3, pick it up. If you dont have a PS3 get one and the game. It's one of the best games of all time. It certaintly is the best looking game of all time.

I will definitely pick this up eventually. I have the first one but haven't touched it yet, so once I play that then I will go ahead and get the sequel. A price drop by then would be nice.

[TheGameEpisode2]

The worst part of being unemployed is I have no money for games

I want Uncharted 2 so bad it hurts.

[teknetic]

I usually stay away from games that can beaten in 10-15 hours, but this game sets the bar. I haven't even touched co-op and multiplayer which I've heard are a complete blast.

Definite must own.
