THE RPG NERD

Earthworm Jim! Not only would I love ports of the older games but I need another sequel done up Bionic Commando Rearmed style.

Excuse me, disappointed? Is that not the cutest little animal you've ever seen? Real Hedgehog = Awesome x 10, Sonic = Epic Fail in character design.

My biggest complaint with the first game was it's story. If I hadn't read so many interviews and previews about the game I would not have been able to tell what was going on. For some reason there are monsters that crawl out of the ground and want to kill you. None of that backstory that was created for the game was in the plot at all. Did that bother anyone who didn't read everything they could about the game? Oh and the obligatory vehicle section was crap and it sounds like they aren't changing what was wrong with the first.

surprisingly these free gamerpics look genuinely cool. That's a first for free advertisements.

I'm not confident that they've found a solution to the RROD. My replacement console red ringed too and they sent me another refurb unit. For some reason it says that my warranty expires soon even though it's been less than 2 years since I bought my original 360..

It's really the climbing on the giant boss that feels reminiscent of God of War, anyway it was sort of meant as a joke.

I hate demons they deserve to die... give me game.

I hear cries of God of War ripoff coming. Really, giant boss battles NG2? What's next, timed button-press sequences? Ok, sarcasm aside I can't wait to get my hands on this game. The first is still one of the best action games of all time and was only improved upon in Ninja Gaiden Black.

No one is saying that NG is a direct ripoff of DMC, but it's hard to believe that they weren't influenced by it. Five years is a lot of time for a game to change, who knows maybe NG started out as something completely different and changed once DMC first came out. You can't possibly believe that DMC didn't influence NG when their basic gameplay structure is the same. Sure the combat might be different but overall the games have a similar feel.

wait a minute.... somone thought that was gameplay? Every Tom Clancy game premieres with a CG trailer. Anyways, if it controls like Crimson Skies and is at least half as good it'll be worth a buy.
