Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"

[GameMaster]

The important thing here is that Bond targeted several people and in one way or another, we've all given him a severe pwning in his very own thread. He set himself up with the assumption he'd be able to wriggle free with some very misplaced and innappropiate egotism. And now looking back on this thread, he's the one who's been ****ed over the hardest. I guess he was absent from the 'ol Catholic school on the day his righteous teachers taught the old adage, "practice what you preach."

Yea I never had a problem with Star Fox Adventures either. Its coming in at 81% from gamerankings, and IGN gave it a 9.0. I thought the ending was especially killer. Anyways, people do diss on SFA too much I believe.

I like how the Xbox360 naysayer, uh, naysayer has mysteriously disappeared...


/me shrugs and walks away

I just played the 360 at the local Future Shop and...wow, I almost wanted one right then and there. No matter what the cost. I came to my senses but I may end up getting one later on...after PS3

When I played CoD2 at Futureshop I was impressed only by the controller.

This is one of my favorite threads of all time for soooo many reasons. Keep it up, everyone.

Five years of waiting for this? Hm... PDZ's single-player campaign adds nothing to the genre, but more specifically, the improvements made over the original are minimal and disappointing. I strongly recommend skipping playing it by yourself and instead punching through it with a friend in coop, which, smartly, is included. This game, however, shines online and will make you happy you bought it.

It's impossible not to notice how badly the story is executed here. Cut-scenes fail to make much sense of what's going on. Menu system helps to sort out the bevy of multiplayer options.

I'm right here. You see the above comments? Without Xbox Live, this game is a pile of **** around 5 years in the making. Read 'em and weep.

Looks like the only one who's disappeared is you.

Game. Set. Match. Bitch.

So IGN > Gamespot now? Hmmm, that seems to go against sooooo much of what most hardcore gamers believe. All of a sudden new sources of information have new levels of validity because they parrot what you were already thinking.

Welcome to politics of the self-fulfilling prophecy.

And Xantar, my observation of Kameo was referring to Gamespot's and IGN's reviews, both of which were well into the 8's. And actually I would place a game at 7.7 into the "good" range in general. Not all games can be life changing experiences. Sometimes good can be good enough.

And Gamemaster, for the record you are a RAVING Nintrendo fanboy, so your opinion means little here.








(I LOVE THIS THREAD. KEEP IT GOING.)

What did Gamespot give Halo 2?

Now compare that with PD0 and your opinion of Halo 2.

I won't even deny; if Halo 2 didn't have online sometimes I wonder what score it would've gotten.

I apologize for not being able to respond to your posts on the hour. Tomorrow (today now) is actually Thanksgiving - a time when some of us travel and gather with our family to celebrate and eat yummy food. I'll respond to your fanboyish rants, GameMaster, when I have time.
