For 20 bucks I may grab it.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

I got it for my fiancee.

For $20, it has been a pretty nice little survivor/horror game. Definitely a B-rate title, but for $20, I doubt you could do much better.

wtf? a survival horror game on 360 I have not heard about?

Not far enough to know, but I would say demons from hell. Non-fixed camera, over the shoulder ala Resident Evil 4.

 

So far, this is what I gather from the game:

  • Story is really odd and abstract. You start the game in the freakiest of locations
  • Weapons are pretty varied...My fiancee is about 30 minutes in and has like 3-4 weapons. Melee weapons degrade at a frenetic pace (iron clubs last 4-5 hits on an enemy, but they do kill an enemy in one hit).
  • You get money in the game to buy new weapons/health/ect
  • You must eat and sleep to stay alive
  • Has an open world, Alan Wake-esque area to it with a freeroaming driving component
  • Graphics are early X360-comparable...Dead Rising or in that area. Not PS2, but certainly not anything close to new. Good character models, bad animations.
  • Very scary music and SFX. Enemies have that 'The Ring/Grudge' type of freaky walking capability. They skip frames on the screen to get closer to you a lot quicker than normal. However, so far, most enemies are incredibly easy to dispatch.

Again, for what she has played, $20 is a great deal for the game. Its not a AAA horror game by any stretch of the imagination, but if your looking for survival horror and need a fix pre-Alan Wake...This one has seemed to be pretty decent.

Those sound like very nice characteristics!

Wonder what it has on Meta though. I'm gonna guess 64%.

will you give over with meta, what if you actually like a game that gets a low score on meta? do you stop playing the damn thing!

Yes. I refuse to play anything under 80%.








EDIT: I am joking of course.

I'm gonna say it'll get a 65-75%

Of course, the game itself is 'good'. I mean, for it being brand new and $20, I think its an absolute steal. If this was an XBLA game, it'd be one of the more popular titles due to the value it offers.
