M&B only 72% meta? What the hell is wrong with people... I've played three characters to level 50-60 in that game and still come back for more!
With the battlesizer mod (add up to 1000 people on the battlefield of you have the hardware) it is truly a staggering experience.

YO M&B is awesome! And I didn't know about that mod! I think if I turn down some settings I could handle that, or most of that. And I thought the 100 was a lot, but 1000, just thinking about it is making me want to skip out on work for the rest of the day =P

Another 72 Meta game I liked was Champions Online. Good combat system, great colors and animations, it was a fun game, just had a tiny community. If there were more people playing I'd still be playing it now.



Around the Network

Too Human - Main story is a bit short for a WRPG, but just like Mass Effect, there are many reasons to come back. Played it for about 40 hours and was a very enjoyable game. I especially loved the fighting mechanics and the amount of weapons. Attacking with the right analog stick worked like a charm. It also has some brilliant achievements.

50 Cent Blood on the Sand - VERY enjoyable arcadey TPS (With co-op feature). Hilarious bland story (I consider that as good ), but simply great gameplay.

Amped 3 - Surely not as good as the old ones, but this is like a good Tony Hawk game only on a snowboard. A must have for every THPS, Underground, Project 8 fan.

Resistance 2 - One of the best FPS of this generation. Almost as good as Call of Duty 4. Brilliant singleplayer with awesome boss fights, great art style and lots of different locations.
Very good multiplayer with lots of other players and nice online co-op.
Only splitscreen co-op is missing in this game.

Assassin's Creed - contains almost all gameplay elements from the undoubtedly superior 2nd game, but has a small flaw. It's repetitive. But as long as the gameplay is fantastic I want more of this repetitiveness.

Blue Dragon - Awesome JRPG with one of the best turn based fighting systems I've ever seen. Fantastic art style. Only downers are the annoying characters......and maybe the rather bad achievements.

Dante's Inferno - It's no God of War, but it has good gameplay and that is all what counts. Oh and if you like virtual tits make sure to buy it.

MagnaCarta II - If you've played all the popular JRPGs of this gen and still want a new one, but refuse to buy Enchanted Arms, The Last Remnant or Infinite Undiscovery, then get MagnaCarta II.
Also a very enjoable game that doesn't get too much attention unfortunately.

Ninja Blade - Tons of fun, stylish and simply great. At least in the same league as Devil May Cry 4 or Darksiders.

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy - I haven't even seen the movies and I liked what I played. Should be cheap by now and definitely worth a playthrough. Must have for a fan of the movies.

The Darkness - FPS with one of the groundbreaking stories of this gen (still talking about shooters). But don't let the abbreviation FPS fool you. It's far more than that.

Condemned Criminal Origins - One of the best horror games ever made. Great fighting mechanics.

Tony Hawk's Project 8 - Every true Tony Hawk fan should own this. In the same league as the best Tony Hawk games.

Crackdown and Lost Odyssey are obvious choices as well.
I also agree with Dark Messiah of Might & Magic and Star Wars The Force Unleashed.



- Demon's souls, one of the best RPGs this gen.
- Klonoa(Wii), okay Its a remake of a classic but still a damn good remake.
- Rainbow Six Vegas series, one of my favorite FPS series.
- Viva Pinata, its undoubtely one of the 360's best titles, a truly under-appreciated series.
- The Darkness, same reason as Barozi^.
- Dead Space, flawed but still a very good game.

My PC is getting a tad old, I need more RAM and a new GPU and then I'm set for a couple of years but I run battles with up to 600-700 combatants at once without much stuttering and frame drops, and let me tell you; its incredible! I once spent nearly fifty minutes in a single battle with 700 on the battlefield!

Man, I'm definitely doing to look into that later today! It's going to feel like a completely new game. I can't even imagine storming a castle, it would take FOREVER haha. Especially with those damned ladders, I always fall off of them =P

Probably

1. Lost Odyssey. By far the best JRPG this gen. In fact the best JRPG I played since FF7.

2. Ninja Blade. So badly underated. The story maybe fairly standard stuff, but the best QTE in a hacker and nice battle system with difficult bosses should have had this game rated much better. To a hacker fan it's bliss. Big set pieces, crazy stunts and overlooked visuals to.



Warhawk - There's a very complicated learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome.

Mirror's Edge - Again, once you get the hang of the controls, it is Awesome!

Buzz! Quiz TV - I feel like some reviewers played the game alone because with family or friends, it's simply the most entertaining game I have ever played.

Assassin's Creed - Very repetitive indeed but very fun nonetheless.

The Lord of the Rings: Conquest - The multiplayer mode (because that's what the game is all about) is amazingly fun. The controls are sometimes frustrating but the more you play, the better you get and then it gets really fun.

Yeah Ninja Blade is high up on my list of underrated titles this gen, like its HIGHLY underrated, and sadly one of those titles people didn't even give the time, cause I feel if it found a group of gamers they'd spread the word and it'd get decent sales.

Ninja Blade actually got my friend to say "Fuck God of War, Kratos has nothing on this" and he's a GoW fan, but this friend goes crazy over action games lol so it could have been the excitement, but just that he compared it to GoW is something for some nay sayers to at least try it.

Between Ninja Blade, Tenchu SA and Demons Souls I've gained a LOT of respect for From Software this gen, sadly not much of their stuff has caught on yet, next up being 3D Dot Game Heroes!



MaxwellGT2000 - "Does the amount of times you beat it count towards how hardcore you are?"

Wii Friend Code - 5882 9717 7391 0918 (PM me if you add me), PSN - MaxwellGT2000, XBL - BlkKniteCecil, MaxwellGT2000

Resistance 2 - Great online coop mode, love the medic/soldier/spec. ops classes. With teamwork and strategy, a great game. The campaign was long and extremely enjoyable for me.

Borderlands - I haven't seen much recognition for the game, it definitely deserves more!
