POS Game, FML Are You Serious?

The controls were basically old Prince of Persia in 3D. The level design is probably still the best the series has ever seen. TR was also one of the first games I remember playing on a dedicated 3D video card once the OpenGL patch hit, and it was AMAAAAAAAAAZING.

Hey guys, guess what game Razor was playing a few days ago?

Somebody go play the Fist of the North Star demo on Xbox live. I dare you.

I still have a soft spot for that deliberate control style. I can see why people hate it, but it definitely worked for those games. I liked knowing for a FACT that if I ran to the edge of a platform, then hopped back once, I could run forward, leap off, and land at a precise spot -- the same spot every time. It was mathematical. The recent TRs play like any other action/adventure game. There's no precision and the levels are designed around not needing any.

ugh that game is terrible...we played the PS3 demo

I hate Koei

Early Tomb Raider played like a puzzle game, almost.

Geometry Wars on the iPad. Fucking unplayable.

Maybe you're me and you have Mark Ecko's Getting Up and you're about to throw it in and see what treasures await you.

I don't if I traded this game back, threw it away, or smashed it with a hammer, but it's gone, and I'm extremely happy. Fucking. Frustrating. Piece of Shit. Game.

I'm gonna type this as I play the game for the first (and I'd assume last) time, lets see how this goes:

Opening a new original Xbox game feels fun. This will likely be the best part.

So it starts off with a video of actual tagging making logos for Ecko, then the collective before cutting to a shot of a real street, that's the most non rendered shit I've seen in a game since, well, ever. Holy shit, the main character talks like INCREDIBLE. What the fuck is the premise of this shit? The intro reads like fight club mixed with some weird future where heavily armed forces have nothing better to do that shoot taggers? Really?

I think all the menu screen starting from the beginning are just filtered shots of real places again. It's very presumptuous of the game to assume I want 10 preset save slots for different play throughs.

Holy shit motion blur.

"I told you about being a graffiti artist, the streets are going to kill you like they killed your father!" "Whatever, yo!"

This looks like a PS1 games. I am not exaggerating, it really looks like a PS1 game.

My first mission is to find a way out of the apartment complex. How can that be a first mission? I guess his grandma never leaves since the only way out of these halls is scaling pipes and hoping over blockades.

I like that I'm supposed to be able to tag anywhere, but unless I'm using a marker to write over some other tag he's like "Nope, not here." Ok, start of next level you can tag anywhere you want.

Some random dude is yelling at his woman right now, it's sweet. I assume he's in an apartment or something, but he sounds like he's inside my head the volume is so fucked up for it.

I really want to beat up this homeless man, but I guess the one brick high piece or rubble between him and me is offering him ultimate protection.

You can't get through this gate without bolt cutters. GOOD NEWS THE BOLT CUTTERS ARE SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO THE GATE!

How to use everything in the game: walk up to it. Things the game will never stop telling you: to walk up to things.

Well that was a fun experiment.
