So now maybe Lorne Lanning has made 2 good games? It's only been 10 years, he's on a roll.

That's not so bad. Most people in the never make one good game.
My thoughts from Got-next:

I picked up Stranger last night. First impressions for me are Game of the Year material. I like it that much. The western style mixed with the Oddworld universe creates a neat, fresh atmosphere that looks really cool.
Graphically, Stranger is top notch Xbox material. Very, very detailed textures. Huge set peices that animate and serve no other purpose than to take up space in the game world and create atmosphere. It's obvious that a LOT of care was takes to create this beautiful game.
One thing that I wasn't sure would work is the transition from 3rd to first person game modes. Exploration can be done in either FPS or 3rd person mode. Shooting must be done in FPS mode. Most people I imagine will prefer to do thier exploring and platforming in 3rd person mode. Thankfully, the transition to FPS mode is silky smooth. One click on the right thumb stick toggles the two modes. The switch is very fast and seemless, allowing you to hunt bad guys full steam ahead, quickly switch to 3rd person, and then back to FPS, all without slowing down the game or affecting the control. It really works perfect.
I've only played the game for a little bit, maybe an hour? But I don't think my opinion will change. Oddworld Stranger is fantastic.
Anyone else?
I still haven't gotten to play it some more. Just started up school again and it's taking all my time.
Don't bring that shit here. It's been tainted.Quote:

They used to think up all sorts of stuff, make their own ideas into games. Its now purely licensed movies, sports, historical wars, and stuff they bought from other people. Well except for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, well done guys.
Stop being a dumbass. EA snatched this up because Microsoft stupidly let it go.Quote:
