What Are You Playing '08 Thread

    Grindtastic!

    -Edit-

    Okay, seriously though, it's really fun. great action and stuff.

    But I've only been playing it for the beta and a week now. Gonna see what happens once I get further. I heard it gets a bit boring after the endgame thing.

    I was never really into the hitman series but I decided to give Blood Money a try and it's pretty cool

    I'm also getting Gears of War very soon (I got a new pc yay).

    Just beat Breakdown (xbox) and Crysis. Ran into a pain in the ass progression blocker at the end of Crysis but an awesome experience otherwise. Probably one of the best shooters on PC in years. It really took me by surprise after the underwhelming demo.

    Still getting through Devil May Cry 3 and started up Twilight Princess again after never really giving it a chance.

    Wow, somebody else who played Breakdown, and to the end at that! What did you think of it? I thought it was hugely flawed but I still really enjoyed it. First person spewing and bungee jumping FTW!

    I really loved breakdown Just jumping around ftw. I'm still doing achievements though.. But finished the game

    I found it to be a very good game, instant fun with no real hassle. It felt, to me, like a good GTA 3..

    Sure, it had some flaws, but I found those to be very small compared to the game's fun level.

    Got really annoyed at one point when I fell underneath the level and couldn't get back out though

    Good mix of jumping puzzles and action, sometimes in a frustratingly annoying combination.

    The last bit drove me INSANE. The section where you have to redo the training near the end was ridiculous. Getting shot at while shimmying along the rail? It was like no one tested those last sections. I almost didn't beat it because of those parts, but yeah I really liked the rest of the game, despite it's flaws, it does some really cool stuff. I found the most enjoyable sections were the platforming, really. Just grabbing ledges and navigating the environment. The gun combat is poor, but once you get the hang of the melee system it's fun...Till more than 2 enemies show up, then it kinda becomes frustrating. But yeah, worth while just to see all the craziness done in first person.

    - CoD4 (finally)

    - Devil May Cry 4 (awesome but a little unbalanced in difficulty. OMFG hard at times, total walkover at others)

    - Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom (bought it out of respect for the earlier games...kinda regretting that)

    - Stuntman Ignition (got it cheap - really rather fun)

    - The Club (well, I will be once I get one or two others outta the way, for now it's sat on my shelf)

    - PacMan: CE (oh how I love this game)

    Finished Jericho last night, it wasn't nearly as bad as some people are saying but all the same.. nothing special. Recommended if you just want to blast monsters and console-esque button minigames!

    Finished Devil May Cry 4 on the first two difficulties, very entertaining game. It got kind of slated in some reviews for just being the same (albeit solid as a rock) mechanics again with improved graphics, which is kind of amusing in light of The Evolution of The FPS Genre thread we've got going, they’ve had the same mechanics for decades and we don’t care.

    The Exceed and Devil Bringer additions are also completely awesome anyway, in fact the only thing that really annoyed me was:

    Quote from My big spoiling face

    Spoiler: The bosses loop and most of them three times, that's pretty poor, I would've liked for them to at least be different - even the final boss is a repeat, though he gains some more moves.
