There was a lot of hate for GTAIV a few weeks after its release. This was due to people completing it and realising there wasn't much else to do in the game.

But considering what Rockstar created, a living city with a pretty damn good multiplayer, I can see why it pulled the reviews it did. The 10's were mostly for the technical aspect of the game.

It was a good game though, they just took a lot out which will probably appear later in other GTA titles or possibly DLC.

A guy I work with actually got this game early. Having his 360 chipped (or whetever it is these days) and RE5 being leaked online early, he got him self a downloaded copy.

He did say that the action is really fun but it is by no means scary. Looking forward to this game, should be fun!

I laughed at this thread. So yeah, there are better games graphically out on the market that surpass Resistance 2 but that doesn't make it a bad game. But that doesn't mean the game isn't pretty to look at. I think Fall of Man showed us a graphics aren't everything and that gameplay can make up for it through high action explosive gun fights against an near-unstoppable alien force.

Resistance 2 improved on every aspect for Fall of Man but stuck to the gameplay we loved from the original.

In closing, graphics doesn't always make a good game. Don't like it? Don't play it, your loss in my opinion.

How can you be bored with game?

Despite the campaign being short, there are items to go back and collect. Then you can try playing it on a harder difficulty.

But the multiplayer? Man, this is the one of finest online shooters I have played. The gun fights look amazing and it's always so fun to try out the different classes in different situations.

Overall, the keyword for Killzone 2 is 'fun'. Just sit down and play it without the need to prove something to yourself.

It would go like this...

"Ju On...a curse created in the grip of a powerful emotion"

"Player 1, dare you enter the cursed house? Yes/no"

"No"

"Player 1 walks away. Game complete"

*credits roll*

[QUOTE="ceells87"][QUOTE="Phoenix534"]

I don't know. I'm thirteen and my parents let me play Fallout 3, Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. And they'd probably let me get Gears of War if I wanted to.

Phoenix534

and your family is one of the reasons video games take so much flak and keep giving people bull**** reasons to pass laws on them. It's the freaking law that you have to be a certain age to play those games and thats for a reason. whether you like it or not doesnt matter, when your old enough and can vote and actually do something about it speak up. My brother is 14 and is reasponsible, does that mean im gonna let him use my car cause he wont go out and run people over, or because he believes he can drive. No, its cause he's not old enough and i kinda like obeying the easy simple laws we have so harsher ones dont get made. talk to your parents and try doing the same. No matter how maturwe you THINK you are, doesnt change the law

That's not entirely true. Video games are getting these laws because people find out that serial killer and psychopaths play Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row. Yes, some kids do start doing crazy things from games, but any right-minded person knows the difference between right and wrong. And no, it's not against the law for me to play them. It's against the law for me to buy them. There is a big difference.

This a debate that will rage on for years to come. As gaming becomes more advanced, they are being aimed at are more adult age group. Looking at my games collection I notice a lot of the 18 rating on the boxes. What people don't realise is that there is only a small majority of kids that actually do something bad that relates back to computer games and 9 times out of 10 the child had problems to begin with. Some people may have read about or been around duringthe whole 'video nasties' debate back in the 80's where the 'extreme gore' films like 'Evil Dead' and 'Driller Killer' were being banned because people believed it was corrupting their children when there was hardly any evidence of it at all.

I'm sure many gamers have been playing games from a very young age and have grown up to be just fine. I for one played a lot of violent games as a kid but at the same time, I played a lot of 'normal' games as well.If one child kills someone because of a computer game then immdiately every child is at risk at being corrupted because it gets blown out of propertion and people are quick to point of the finger at someone and find someone to blame.

I know ratings are there for a reason but when I was sat at home playing GTAIII on my PS2 back when I was 15, a lot of people I knew from school were out taking drugs. There are far worse things in life then playing games underage.

If you only get 2 hours of game time then don't bother getting Fallout 3. After the time you've spent convincing your parents to let you buy it you then have a MASSIVE RPG that will grip your soul, suck the childhood out of youand make you believe that 2 hours was a mere 10 minutes.

Ocarina of Time hands down. I was only 11 and wanted the game so badly and as it was released on the11th December I asked if I could have it for christmas. When christmas day came and after months of anticipation my mum gave me a box and I when I opened it...World Cup 98 was in there! I smiled, thanking her but really I wanted to cry inside.

She then gave me another box and said "you didn't think I'd forgot, did you?" and it was Zelda. Best christmas ever.
