GGD Game Recommendations Thread - Post 'What Game Should I Get??' Questions Here

[QUOTE="gamingqueen"]Enchanted Arms for 18 bucks should I take it or leave it?juradai

I will tell you this much... The female characters are extremely annoying and whiny and the male characters have no personality with the exception of the main character who is a little wuss. The story and characters completely turned me off to the game and I stopped shy of completing it with 99% completion due to the fact that, frankly, I just stopped caring.

You didn't find the shemale at all interesting or amusing, wow! And if you put enough time to get to 99% completion, the game must have done something right.

I'm wanting a new, cheap 360 game, and these are my choices:

Perfect Dark Zero

Quake 4

Kameo

Dead Rising

Enchanted Arms

Which one should I get and why?

jalexbrown

i'd have to say get Kameo. (I don't have the game but i played it at my friends house) and from what i've seen the controls seem to be easy enough with some really cool transformations you can make.

Should I get Jeanne D'Arc or Final Fantasy War of the Lions? both are psp games. Thanks.jasonbourne10

Jeanne D'Arc is a much better game. War of the Lions hasn't aged well, the camera in particular is terrible, in some of the levels you can't see who is attacking you, and things of that nature. Jeanne D'Arc has a great story and a lot of depth to the combat. It took me about 48 hours to beat it, and it was one of my favorite games this year.

Puzzle Quest: Warlord,

On which platform should I get it? Is it multiplayer only and where to find it? I didn't see it in store today! (I didn't ask the staff who are obviously overwhelmed with customers these days and barely nod at a regular customerstrolling by)

I plan to play HOME, and so far, the 360 version is the one which was recommended most to me. I alsohave a PC (connected to the net), I have a PS2, a Xbox and a DS (although mobility is nice, I see no other reasons to pick the DS, if you have any, just fill me in). The PS2 and the Xbox are not on the HDTV, so that pretty much cross it from the line. I don't have, nor plan having, Xbox Lives...I plan to play home, quietly! :P

I pick Puzzle Quest after reading the review here at Gamespot (actually, I read about 1/3 of it, and what I read please me and I wanna try for myself rather then read the reviewer fully, I am sure he is sound and all, but I like making full opinion by myself). I could also pick other games, I admit that I miss most of the "Magic-the-Gathering/Xenosaga mini-card game" type, for some reasons, I go these style of games when the ones I really love are stalling a little (when you play only a few specifics styles of games 80 hours a week, it can stall, despite it richness). I am open minded to other games, but honestly, my mind is pretty set, yet not close.

From what I heard, the PSP version has some bugs, same with the DS. Most seem to recommended the XBLA

Sorry, but I need advice again. My grandmother already finished her X-mas shopping. But I can still ask others.

I looked over the games I had before, and made some changes.

The following is ranked into three seperate categories (A = someone who likes Hotel Dusk & Trace Memory, B = Someone who likes Lost in Blue 1 & 2, and C = the games I really want but are impossible to get)

And once again all of these are for Nintendo DS.

If anyone knows where I can get C1 for a reasonable price (I've only seen it on amazon.de for like 30 pounds and 7 pounds shipping, plus they don't deliver to the USA) please tell me how. Otherwise, I just need help decising between the other four games.

My first preference would be A1 or B1. Then the others can be at any ranking.

A1) Dementium (for someone who likes Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory)

A2) Golden Compass (for someone who likes Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory)

B1) Sims 2: Castaway (for someone who likes Lost in Blue 1 & 2)

B2) Arctic Tale (for someone who likes Lost in Blue 1 & 2)

C1) Undercover: Dual Motives (where to get and for the cheapest, I just spent ±$38 on Myst from the game.co.uk)** & ****

C2)

**±, UKgame said the amount will get debbited once it is shipped. When I placed the order, the curreny exchange was $38, but today its $36. But who knows what it will be when its shipped. And I'm not sure, if they will use that price at shipping or when I placed the order.

***Considering I can get this game for a reasonable price and easy this would be the first game I'd want from the list.

Sorry, for the long msg. I'm just upset that they're releasing all the good games I want in Europe. And some aren't even released and impossible to get.

Please I need to know how

Dementium is a good choice for a DS owner, it is surprisingly fun.

I'm wouldn't recommend The Golden Compass, for the game is really bland and the reviews I've been reading show the game may not have good potential to be a proper investment(example: IGN game this game a 4/10).

The Sims 2: Castaway is going to be a love it or hate it game, so if you are a very strong Sims fan, this could be a pretty good purchase.

Arctic Tale in my opinion should be avoided, even for people who like Lost in Blue. There are just better choices out there.

I wouldn't know where to find Undercover: Dual Motives at, for it is a pretty under the wire game. Sorry.

From the other choices listed, I would definitely go with Dementium: The Ward. It is a pretty underappreciated game.

I hated the characters so much that I wanted the Ice Queen to win hence the 99% completion.

Thanks very much.

Someone called it "trash" in another place and told me not to get it... I think I won't. Thanks for your advice!

Alright... my Mom wants to know what I want for Christmas. Should I tell her Unreal Tournament 3 for PS3, or Eye of Judgement. Eye of Judgement is something I'm tempted to get, but I can't bring myself to spend my own money on it, and I'm tempted to pick up UT3 today instead of waiting for Christmas. Any advice is appreciated.rragnaar

I would get Unreal Tournament 3, since Eye of Judgement to me is just a card game with special effects(But good special effects, I'll give it that).

which atv offroad fury should i getpatriots2871

I would get ATV Offroad Fury 4 for the PS2, since to me, it is the most advanced version out there.

Call of Duty 4 (360) & Mass Effect (360)

or

Call of Duty 4 (360) & Crysis (PC)

Hope you all might be able to help. I do not know much about video games. We bought our daughter a Nintendo DS and two games, Spongebob and Nintendogs. My daughter is 4 and does not quite "get it" yet. So now she has me playing these games, and not exactly the game I would choose to play. Does anyone have a recommendation for a really easy game, preferably an educational game we could get her? The easier it is on hand eye coordination the better, plus she does not read yet, so can't have a lot of reading. Thanks for your help!hoopnhal

I can't recall an educational game to mind that does not involve alot of reading, so I would recommend Kirby SqueakSquad. It is a pretty easy game for kids, and the only time you use the stylus is when you touch a powerup in on the bottom screen. Though most of the reading would be during the instructions for the mini games.

Call of Duty 4 (360) & Mass Effect (360)

or

Call of Duty 4 (360) & Crysis (PC)

76ers

Assuming you have a powerful enought PC to run it, I would get Call of Duty 4 and Crysis.

Yeah but if he's got a PC powerful enough to run, why not just bet both on the PC...Or Crysis and the Witcher should be an option :P

Actually might sway him to pick either COD4 and Crysis and get Mass Effect or the Witcher just to have some variety...But thats just my take.

I'm looking for some good co-op games to play with my best mate,

We've got an xbox, ps2, gamecube and n64

We've already got the splinter cell games and timesplitters and I'm getting her Halo for Christmas but we've almost finished timesplitters and like to have several games on the go at once, any suggestions?

I would recomment things like Serious Sam 2, Ratchet and Clank: Deadlocked, Guitar Hero II or III, and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance I & II.

I have an Xbox 360 & Ps3. I want to purchase Rock Band. Can anyone suggest what system I should get it for??? I know that the PS3 has a wireless guitar and I have heard the game is pretty much the same. With that said....if you guys have/had both systems, which one would you get it for? BayAreaBosss

I would say the Xbox 360 version, since the PS3 version of Rock Band is not compatible with Guitar Hero controllers while the 360 version is.

heres my problem i have all 3 systems

i am thinking bout getting call of duty 4, wwe smackdown vs raw 08 and guitar hero 3

i bought cod4 used at gamestop and i might return it for the 360 version and i was wondering if the 360 version has a smooth of a framerate as the ps3 one because the ps3 cod4 is amazing so i was wondering if the 360 one is better and i like the fps controls for the 360 better but i can deal with the ps3's, however i dont want to pay for xbox live since i might cancel and im on a monthly subscription now

and for the wwe game i dont know which system i should get it for since both the controls are similar to me and i just bought a ps3 so i might want to get more games for ps3 you know? and i want to know which system has more people playing on it

same thing with the guitar hero 3

and which system is best for assasin's creed?

Just to let you know, i haven't played either of them but have done extensive research on both. Eye of judgement is a game that will either do real well or suck real bad.That is definitely one you do not want to spend your money on. UT3 is a great game but is like the other ones. I would pick that one up for sure. But i also read that if your computer has the guts to run ut3 you might want to get it for that.

remember take what I say with a grain of salt for i have not played either

ZeNMaStEr206

There is no noticiable between Call of Duty 4 on the two systems, but if you don't want to pay for Xbox Live, I suggest keeping the PS3 version since online play is the game's greatest asset.

For Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, the games are similar so if you want the PS3 version, go for it.

For Guitar Hero 3, I would suggest the Xbox 360 version, since the guitar is compatible with Rock Band unlike the PS3 version.

For Assassin's Creed, I would go with the Xbox 360 version, since there have been reports of freezing issues on the PS3 version.

should i get warhawk or unchaarted?fuzzy_hippo

Viewing your Gamespot profile, you seem to enjoy multiplayer based games. Since Uncharted is a game that has more problems than Warhawk that I have heard of, I would suggest Warhawk. It is cheaper too.

should i get warhawk or unchaarted?fuzzy_hippo

OMG! Pick uncharted! You hear me buy uncharted! If you don't like it I'll give you your 60 bucks back! The game is great in terms of everything! Graphics are the best on consoles so far. It blends two genres in one game which are adventuring and Action. The fights are strategic and there are multiple ways to take on enemies! The cut-scenes are awesome. Watching them feels like watching a movie. The story is great too and characters are memorable and wiity and funny! Everything aboutit is great do pick it :( It's unfair to see that many who owns a ps3 and are not playing Uncharted! the game is the best on the ps3!

hey guys i really need help i need to know how to add friends i cant figure it out

Game_conqest

Head over to the Welcome Newbies forums for any questions you have. Your question is inappropriate here, but anyways, you can't. You can only track people and if they don't track you back, they cannot be added to your friends list.

I'd also advise to use default colour or something not white or black since some people view Gamespot in black while others in white.

I have just purchased a PS3 and was wondering what games I should buy for it ??turbo1001

• Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
• Folklore
• Ratchet and Clank

Thanks! I was kinda thinking about buying Unchartered anyway...

every one should have cod4 and bioshock

well these arent games but should I get a PSP or a PS3 I know what your gonna say...PS3. But PSP is portable and stuff and has pursuit force :) so just wondering.fred1712

My only suggestion is this. If you're really into the PSP, get it if you already have a next-gen console. If not, get the PS3.

i just got a 360 wat game shuld i get:

a) Oblivion

rragnaar

Oblivion will last you a very long time. I've easily spent 300 hours with the game. Halo 3 has some great multiplayer.(obviously) Bioshock and Assassin's Creed are worth playing, but aren't necessarily worth buying in my opinion...

Oh what the heck you should just get all of them if thats an option, you already have them in order of priority IMO.
