That aside, this game does so many cool things that I wish other FPS developers would try. FPSes need more specialized moves that restrict the player from time to time and make him not feel like a "floating camera". Shimmying on ledges, slides, throws, and so on.

You make me happy.

Dull environments and pretty shitty gunplay, but those are already the age-old complaints for the game.

Cute Half-Life and Halo homages, too, even if the Halo one is a quarter of the game.

Oh crap....good job beating Breakdown!! Seriously, there are about two parts near the end there that have to be some of the most frustrating, yet rewarding moments in the last generation of video games. I felt like I actually accomplished something when I beat that game.

News Flash: you didn't.

My first completed game of the year is Gears of War on 360.

Trust me, I only have 1 and 1/2 levels left to finish it, and then I will never touch it again. I not only plan to never play it again, but I'm going to trade in my copy and hope I get $.50, which is about $.49 more than this piece of shit deserves.

Seriously, PDZ has to be the worst FPS I have ever played in my life. Soldier of Fortune on the DC was better than this. Awful level design, horrible character designs (a chinese girl named Mei-hem?), and some of the worst game design ever (depending on where you go in some levels, objectives are not only unnecessary to finish, but they sometimes don't even register! WTF?) makes this one a blemish on the 360 line up that nothing will ever cleanse.

Aaand just finished Trauma Center DS. The seven sin boss run at the end was stupidly difficult at times.

Just finished Rondo of Blood. Definitely better than Shinobi 3.

Finished Spider-Man 2 (Xbox) today. Pretty good game.

I finished Touch Detective today.

If I can get III done before Crackdown I'll be in good shape.

Beat Psychonauts last night and it should've been a cartoon. Fantastic writing and art design, decent gameplay, weak bosses, and terrible level design. In no less then three stages did I get confused about where to go because I took linear sections backwards, which shouldn't even be possible. It's like they forgot there was an ability to jump higher than normal which let me constantly get around the way stages were set up. Maybe if the game was less platforming and action and more puzzles and exploration it would've worked a lot better.
