Dang, I was hoping it would be worth a shit. I've been playing the celly-phone version of PQ on the subway for the last couple of months, it's actually pretty reasonable.

It's better than most reviews imply. It's what you get if you try to make an RTS with a strictly arcade mentality. So there's no leveling up between matches, no carrying over from previous games. You start fresh each game with only the lowest level units to summon, and have to build up quick with your enemies rocketing towards you at blinding speed. The relationship of the various units is pretty simple, but support units and your personal assistance can put a spin on that pretty quickly. It plays very differently from any other console game though, and I can see how that might have confused a number of reviewers. I like it right now, but it's hard to say what kind of longevity it'll have. I'm sure online is dead, but you can play splitscreen.

HEY I OWN THIS.

If you see me on Live, let me know if you want to play.

I've seen this pretty cheap, and it's piqued my interest. Is it just another military FPS, or is there some twist to it? That it's mediocre is no big deal, as I've played through Civil War (which isn't actually that bad for a rental).

Star Wars was way better than I thought it would be. I really liked it.

As for Shellshock, the twist is that its in Vietnam, but with ZOMBIES! I'm totally serious. The games pretty crappy even with zombies. I played through it on Hard to whore up the achievements and I really had to push myself to slog through this. Civil war at least kinda looked nice and was 60fps. Shellshock's framerate gets really chuggy and the aiming blows ass. Give it a rent and see if you can beat my 950 achievement pts :)

I'm on at odd times, but I'd be up for a game if you can catch me. I'm betting I'll suck though since the campaign hardly uses the servants, and devolved to mostly 1vs1, plus surprise shooter boss.

I am very disappointed in your acheiving whoring efforts lately.... C'mon, you can do professional on RE5! It is still very easy except you just have to be alittle more careful not to get hit.
