what kind of game is RISEN?

straight from gamespy

" An RPG project by Deep Silver and the Piranha Bytes. In the game, the protagonist finds himself shipwrecked after a storm and finds himself on a mysterious island. An active volcano dominates the scene. Ancient temple ruins recently have risen from the ground, and bizarre creatures infest the island..."'

sound pretty awesome

ODST, Risen, and Alan Wake all look really good, but the other two are sequals to games that were rather poorly recieved. It's kind of like getting excited for Haze 2 or Too Human 2 or something. =/

 

Or KZ2. :)

Close but not quite. The last Killzone game scored a 77 on metacritic, where Magna Carta got 66 and NNN got 61. Getting average scores isn't the same as getting bad ones.

I'm not saying give up hope for Magna Carta 2 and NNN 2 - just don't start getting hyped for them. (Unless you enjoyed the origionals, of course - if that's the case, hype away.)

those are average not terrible. anyone who loved the 1st 22 or love those games of this style will be more than happy to look forward 2 some new offerings. I still can't get that epic music out of my head from NNN in the opening cinematic. Its as epic as the music from Gladiator, Braveheart LotR and so on.

 



 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.

Honestly I would love a Too Human 2 announcment. It's already strongly hinted at even. As for Haze 2 what can I say Haze is somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine. So bring it on! I say just improve on it.

Yeah, I am looking forward to NNN2 and would gladly play Too Human 2.

and dont forget forza 3

Magna Carta is really looking good to me. Assuming they get good reviews, i'll be picking up Magna Carta 2, Alan Wake and Splinter cell: Conviction.

Is there a NNN2 trailer at all or just images?
