GT5, HALO3, MGS4, GTAIV, FFXIII..Did they deliver?

[Dr.Grass]

@OP you chose the right games for this...

I played all of them:

1) GT5 Yes

Tons of content. Beautiful, if inconsistent, visuals. GT5 definitely delivered, even though it fell a little short of what was expected.

2) Halo 3 Yes

I've always liked Halo. The 1st had a mystical quality about it. Someone lent me his Xbox in 2003 and I remember Halo screaming F%§K Y&§!!! to my PS2 and Gamecube. Halo 3 also landed early enough in the generation to make an impact. Also not quite pushing the bar as high just like in GT5's case, but overall well done.

3) MGS 4 YES

OMG. MGS4 was an experience. THE reason to buy a PS3 early on. It was a comeback of sorts for MGS in my eyes. I abondened PS2 due to strong feelings of resentment towards MGS2 - subsequently didn't play MGS3 save for a one-night rental.

It's quite simple: Play it on hard and take your time then you'll have an incredible exprience.

4) GTA IV NO!

Absolutely not. If you read the reviews now, it seems like they're describing a different game altogether.

5) FF XIII nope

Final Fantasy is supposed to be earth shattering stuff. I bought FF XIII and had some fun with it. The visuals were breath taking, and there were some points I thought it was quite nice. But, too linear, no variety, no exploration, L.A.M.E characters (sometimes) and most importantly it didn't feel like FF.
