Fracture... looks like crap.

Borderlands, Prototype and especially Brutal Legends look like they could all rock though.

okay, a game like Lost... will never be good. take that off the list.

Why? Granted a tv based game doesn't have good history, but Lost is a good license for an adventure game, and more importantly why don't you think Ubisoft Montreal would make an out and out bad game? They've lately made Splinter Cell titles, Assassin's Creed, Naruto: Rise of the Ninja, the Prince of Persia titles, in recent years they haven't made a single bad game, even their other movie licensed game was well recieved, King Kong. so I have no reason to think this game will be bad.

 

Heist is still an unsure thing, I really liked Godfather and the whole knocking off stores element sounded fun, but it still has to prove it. but to be honest it so far looks more like a game that'll rate around a 7 out of 10.


Ubisoft Montreal made Far Cry: Vengeance. Such a bad game that they had to drop the price down to $20 shortly after release. That being said, I don't have faith. Licensed games generally sell on based on the popularity of the media being licensed (Look at Spiderman 3) so Ubisoft won't care so much about quality. They'll be too busy focusing on games that have to stand by itself. 



Left 4 Dead. Cannot emphasize it enough.

Totally agree.

Fracture will suck. 
I have high hopes for Prototype.
Borderlands and Brutal Legend have the potential to be good.
 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Prototype:
Looks pretty damn awesome. I'm worried that it might suffer from the same repetitiveness as Crackdown and Assassin's Creed though. =/

Borderlands:
Not much with what to judge the game just yet, but damn that setting looks awesome. Yank-English is everywhere these days, so the hot British girl is also a big plus.

Fracture:
Looks deceptively like yet another generic FPS with a single gameplay gimmick. Then again it's an original IP from Lucasarts, and we don't get those every year...

Brutal Legend:
Holy crap, that's awesome! It's a game just about awesomeness! Can't get more awesomer than that!

The last two are pretty meh. A license game from Ubisoft? Yeah, that sounds promising. Also many snores at yet another GTA clone.

You want to add Alan Wake, since it's a promising (Finnish!) game that doesn't get too much attention. Then again 360 owners are probably pretty well aware of it, and it just seems little known because we have so few 360 people around here. =P

Fracture could be interesting.

Also, not enough are talking about Left 4 Dead.

 Are you a Turtle Rock PR spokesman? You mention the game in every thread you visit...



Borderlands is the only one I care about...



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Which console is borderlands on?

Does someone want to give me a quick run down on the game? Or at least point me too one?



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Not enough people are talking about Mushroom Men for the Wii and DS. There's a game that has me excited... in addition to No More Heroes, of course.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

yes prototype deserves more hype
