Quote from: WeaponX on March 21, 2011, 04:18:48 PMHey anybody a RPG fan? Looking for a good one since final fantasy came out of the gates sucking.

I'm dragon my balls through Tactics Ogre these days. If you liked Final Fantasy Tactics, then you'll love this.

Same as GF, if you liked the first Dragon Age you'll like second one.

I assume that's supposed to be a link to Amazon, but it's actually this: http://t.co/x7j44NI

Redirect link that goes to Amazon. Apparently people use it for Twitter.

Bioshock 2 is on sale for $10.99 with free shipping from NewEgg. Well worth it, if you haven't played.

looks like the concussion stuff is spilling into Madden 12 too

concussed players can't return to game

Diomedes · April 03, 2011, 04:41:37 PM

That article tells me that the game is going to feature greatly inflated incidence of concussion as the type of injury in game play.

FAIL.

Picked up Crysis 2. I'm only 30 minutes into it but so far it's a nice looking game.

Rented the EA MMA game and have been playing around with career mode. First few fights are really a joke, wondering when it will get ridiculously hard to the point of it being unplayable. Gotta try out the online stuff too once I get better.

Gears of War 3's official release date will be September 20th

General_Failure · April 06, 2011, 12:08:55 PM

I tried out Bulletstorm today. A lot of fun, but I can't help but get distracted by the voice actors. Two in particular I know do a ton of stuff, and they were both major characters in Mass Effect 2, so that's what I hear instead of whatever characters are actually in this game.

You care.

Munson · April 06, 2011, 12:33:55 PM

I know there was a Gears 3 beta on Bulletstorm, but I don't know if it was something extra you had to buy or if it just came with it or what

A cool feature in the EA MMA game is Fighter Share. Basically you can create a fighter for Fight Now mode, or to fight online. So people have created all kinds of real life, mostly UFC fighters to take into the Strikeforce heavy roster built in the game. They have a face generator based off of real pictures you can upload and the results are actually pretty good. You can then download a ton of these fighters that people have created. I got Lesner, Anderson Silva, GSP, Chris Leben, Tank Abbot and a few jokes like Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee etc...

I tried out online mode and the first match I used Lesner and got killed. He picked me apart and KO'd me after knocking me down 3 times. Next match I used Anderson Silva and this guy wasn't as good and I held my own, but was definitely losing going into the 3rd round. I landed a quick combo and KO'd him with a spinning back fist. The guy had to be livid since he was dominating me most of the fight.
