  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    Dont get me started on gamestop.Gears of war still 70euro. WTF????The argos deal is good but excellent if you pick Colin mcrae dirt as 1 of the games.Thats 23euro for a new copy of a game only released a few months back.Best rally game ever IMO

    I reckon Colin Mcrae Dirt cood become a collectors item in few years and could rise in value.

    Eh, what ?

    Ive started playing it and im not massively impressive. Graphics are quite nice and the tracks look good but they are a bit boring. Maybe they get more interesting as you progress ? The handling on the cars is super slippy as well.

    Ya, it's like floating round on a hovercraft! weird, still a good game though.

    What other games they have on offer?

    GF picked me up Tomb Raider:Anniversary and Call of Duty 2 for €45 for our anniversary!

    I've seen TR:A for as much as €50, but the very least €40... deal any way you look at it!

    Definitely, COD2 was brilliant, first game i got for the 360!!!

    Then i bought COD3 and played half way through it, before landing it on a shelf some where.... (Dont know where it is at the moment)

    COD4 was a welcome return to form, online and offline!!!!

    Yeah - it's all down to the developers. Infinity Ward did COD 2 and COD 4. Someone else did COD3, and it shows.

    Never played 3. Played 2 back at launch, on hardcore, really enjoyed it, but it was never mine, I borrowed a friends copy!

    Now I own it, back to the grind of Veteran!! Great game. Reason my interest was piqued again is that I rewatched Band of Brothers over Christmas!

    TR:A is brilliant by the way. €30 by itself and worth every penny! If you enjoyed the early Tomb Raider (1, possibly 2) games that is!

    And the same people who did cod3 are going to do cod5, so therefore rubbish and console only.

    There both god awful games I got them in a bundle with my first xbox at christmas and I thought they were truly terrible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    Its generally accepted that forza 2 is a good race game.It did fairly well in all reviews ive read.I got those two games with my xbox as well and i must say i'm really enjoying playin forza at the mo.I hav'nt even played viva pinata so i'll reserve judgement....

    Viva Pinata is one of the best games on the 360! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Yeah, Viva Pinata is anything *but* terrible. Great game.
    Forza 2 depends on what kind of racing games you like, wouldn't appeal to everyone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,157 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    Forza was pretty disappointing. Much preferred both DIRT and PGR4

    That's a pretty dogmatic statement. Both games are highly regarded. I don't care for Viva Pinata - but wouldn't slate it just because it's 'not my thing'. :rolleyes:

    Congratulations... you've realized that you prefer arcade racers. I recommend avoiding Grand Turismo and other driving simulators as well. :p

    Try Burnout Paradise if you haven't already. A quality arcade racer with minor niggles.

    My friend even gave it to his cousins (aged 7 to 13) and only one of them even said they enjoyed it and that was the 7 year old. To put it in the clear if giving my opinion is slating a game so be it.

    You just sounded so certain your opinion was the truth you didn't bother to use an "in my opinion" disclaimer. Your statement flies in the face of pretty much every professional review of these games you claim to be "god awful".
