Whatever the 2.4 update brings us, the only thing I'm certain of is that we'll have people complaining about what it didn't include...

I felt that way about Chris Tucker movies prior to even seeing one...

Good old Nightmare Creatures, that was exactly the game I thought of when reading about some of the features in this title. We'll see how this revival turns out, right now expectations are low so they won't have a hard time surprising me.

Give me one example of anyone from Naughty Dog hating on a game someone from their own team developed. I'm all for Itagaki saying whatever he wants about other games, that's his deal, but here he's just showing how big an ass he really his.

Pretty much what I expected, although I think the IGN score is a bit extra-low. It's nothing special, but it's a solid enough FPS title that I'll probably pick up when it comes down in price, or at the very least rent and play through it. I'm still interested in seeing how the rebel gameplay turned out, and even though it wasn't brining much new to the genre it seemed good enough to give it a spin. The co-op was pretty fun, and would make for a good way to kill a few hours with friends.

Seems like another case of initial hype killing a game, and then when it gets average scores everyone acts as though it's total crap. Not sure why we've become a group who seems to hate on anything that doesn't get a 9/10, I've played some fairly unenjoyable dreck that received good scores. Hell, we talk about how the Timesplitters series was awesome, but the average scores for those games were in the mid-eighties...

Agree with the other two, at least in regards to more recent-older releases. There were a few movies released at first that were pretty poor transfers (Full Metal Jacket for one) that were re-released and look much better, and generally the titles released lately, old catalog or new, look great on Blu.

Agree that it's not anything amazing, but I think it has potential to be a better than average shooter. I'm really hoping that the Rebel side of the game will be a more strategic experience, tempering the run & gun of the Mantel troops with a more methodical approach, all centered around Nectar.
At the least, it's a solid shooter that could be something more, and is already a fun online experience. If anyone cares to read more of my thoughts on the demo, I've posted them here: http://www.tripletags.com/post.asp?id=549

I haven't seen twister since middle school, they used to play it whenever it was storming too bad for us to outside for recess. We all piled into the auditorium and watched it on the projector they had setup.

Looking back on it, that's sorta screwed up to do to a bunch of kids. Watching a movie about killer storms while a storm is rolling through outside...

I haven't experienced the freeze either, had it hang while loading the other night but that seems to be a whole different, and much more temporary issue. Been fine since, and was fine before that.

4-player if I remember correctly.
