Haven't played Clone Wars. Had Resi but sold it since... well, I'd already played Resi 2 and 3.

Resident Evil is fun, isn't it rather a one trick pony? I mean.. you play it once and.. you're done?

Well it got a 9.4 on Gamespy, so it can't be that bad. Anyway, I'm gonna buy both the Rogue Squadron games so that should fill my quota of Star Wars Geekness.

Also, the ****ty GameSpot ads crashed my f[color=2390841][/color]ucking IE.

That's what cheats are for.

I kept getting pwned ever time I played Dino Crisis on the Playstation. A few ammo-cheats later and I was slaughtering raptors like there was no tomorrow.

I wouldn't get both RS games.. the second one is like the same thing, just better graphics and a little more gameplay, although you have to suffer through their idea of a an FPS integration into a game like Rogue Squadron...

I don't know why they bother with the FPS sections because quite frankly in Factor 5 games they are always awful.

Well I guess at least it makes you feel like a crack-shot. IIRC, you couldn't really miss when walking in those Yavin 4 corridors wit the stormtroopers.

Perhaps they knew it was so bad and made it really easy so you can get it over and done with quickly?

Resi remake is superb, its worth getting for 2 reasons. 1. the defence weapons, tazering or shoving a grenade in a hungry zombies face is brilliant.

2. the god damn crimson heads, i nearly shat myself the first time one of the zombies re-animated.

What about it?

That was one of the games I coulda chose from but I'd only ever heard vague things about it.

Eternal Darkness
9.4
superb
Slick, polished, creepy, and alluring, Eternal Darkness raises the bar for what action adventure games should be and stands as the first example of a game that plays the player. - Shane Satterfield

It's the scariest game experience I've ever had and it's awesome. Imagine a cross between Resident Evil, Tombraider and a genuinely psychologically scary film. The sanity meter is cool, as you get attacked you lose your sanity,  which gives odd effects with the strength dependent on how much you've lost. Mild effects are like, the camera starts to tilt at odd angles or the walls start bleeding and go right up to the "**** my body just got sliced in half and the torso is sliding off the rest of it, oh no wait, no it hasn't" effects. It really is good.

Apparently it actually pulls tricks on you. Like during an intense fight it it might flash up a 'controller unplugged' message. Evil.

I've never had that one but the torso thing happened when my health bar was full and a zombie took a minor swipe at me. The sanity effects are designed to affect the actual player and not the avatar and for the most part they do work.
