canning a guy for giving a BAD review of an overly commercialized video game that is plastered all over THE VERY SAME SITE is conglomerate control of the media at its WORST! Im leaving this site FOREVER! not that I came here much anyway since the site has overbearing MODS and an all around bad attitude and bad rep with REAL GAMERS! Only the casuals and younger gamers are unaware at how Gamespot is a truly atrocious gaming site but they will learn or THEY WILL LEARN! BOYCOTT GAMESPOT! FOREVER!
Shadow of the Colossus is a HIGHLY recommended game for ANY REAL GAMER that thinks beyond HALO or Gears of War type stuff. I would suggest finding a copy of ICO if possible and playing that game right after you finish Shadow.
Just wait a few months the PS2 should drop to $99.99 NEW and for that price ill probably buy a THIRD PS2 as backup to my old "fatty" original PS2 -its finicky in its old age lol- and my now 2 year old slimline PS2.
Call of Duty 1 is the finest hour its OK but part 2 and 3 are MUCH better. Call of Duty 2: the big red one is a much better game dont know if either are online but COD2 has a great story and highly recommended for PS2 FPS WW2 fans.
There are over 50 games that I have listed that I plan on collecting and PLAYING for the PS2. I have over 40 PS2 games and still have about 120 more before I get all the games I would like to play and collect. I havent upgraded to the 360 or PS3 yet anyway.
we got a translation the other day of a Famitsu interview with Fumito Ueda, the Director of Shadow of the Colossus, about his impressions after he finished playing God of War 2. It's great to hear a Japanese game maker's perspective on the series so far, especially when it is from someone whom I respect so much. If you are a fan of God of War, or Ico or Shadow, then you should give it a read. a few quotes from the interview: Quote: Q: What was your first impression of God of War 2? A: The way the game first grabbed me was pretty awesome. The way the game started off, it made me think about how in Japanese games that would never happen. It wasn't a matter of "how many explosions can we have on the screen in a short amount of time", but it definitely felt like a Hollywood movie. The way that everything was changing and expanding, I had never thought of that, I had never gotten tired of it, it constantly pulls in the user into the game's universe. Quote: Q: Do you think there's a relation between the way the game looks and how late it came in the PS2's lifetime? A: Yes, perhaps. With PS2 games, right now you can get a lot of power out of the system. In God of War 2, there's almost no loading time, and how fast it reads your save games is really fast. That's because you only have to look for procedures on one hardware, which makes things easy. Quote: Q: So everything rests on a higher foundation then, and that's why everything looks so good, right? A: As for the ideas, even though they are very common, the way everything is represented makes it interesting and fun to play, I believe. And yet, the action, puzzles, graphics, everything was realized on a higher foundation, that was my impression. From the start, everything was put in with care, and nothing was really neglected. Basically, like how a Japanese game carries itself. But with japanese games, the really interesting parts are kind of sparse.... Quote: Q: Has God of War 2 inspired you in any way? A: Well there are certainly a lot of ideas and such in the game, and they're all really fun things. I haven't had a lot of time to think about it though. If there are things that I can really absorb from the game I think I will absorb it, but God of War 2 is such a high value game (ed. note: I don't know if it means that it's valuable or if it was expensive to make.) that I don't think I can really copy it. Perhaps with this kind of game, we'll leave it to the Western designers to make them, hah. full interview here: http://sabre2922.gametrailers.com/gamepad/index.php?action=viewblog&id=128889
We all know that you haven't beaten MGS1 20 times :| MGS1: Once MGS2: Three times MGS3: 2 Times (I spent most of my time killing people online) Hinata237
Why is that so difficult to believe? Ive had the original Metal Gear Solid since its release and if one plays through the game a couple times a year since its release thats it equals out to right around 20 play through whats so difficult about that? Oh yea Im an old fart compared to most of the gamers that post on these boards.
MGS1 - well over 20+ MGS2 - 15+ MGS3 - 5+ but will play through many times more once I get Subsistance someday. btw MGS3 is my favorite Metal Gear Solid the Twin Snakes is good as well but I dont have a Gamecube anymore so.
