I'm excited to give this one a shot, especially after hearing Ches gush over it for the past week or so. I still have to play the second one, but eventually I'll get around to the both of them.
Out of the five, I probably enjoyed Hydro Thunder the most, with Lara Croft as a close second. Really, Lara Croft totally threw me off guard. I had no real expectations going in, but I wasn't too keen on the idea of the top-down approach. As it turned out, it's probably one of, if not the, best co-op titles of the year.
Castlevania was a big letdown, though I had my doubts about that one as well. Regardless of the weird design of the whole game, I thought it would pan out to be just as much fun as the other Metroidvania-style games have been, but it turned out to be frustrating, annoying, and cryptic to say the least.
Monday Night Combat was a decent enough idea, but I found myself growing bored of it pretty quickly, especially with the seemingly unbalanced Spy class.
Limbo was a slightly better-than-average game, but nothing special at all. I don't quite understand the media love for it, and I can't say that I'd recommend it after going through the whole game in a mere 2 hours, especially at $15.
Both of these should be great, but yeah Radiant Silvergun is more desirable for me as well.
Avatars in Fire Pro is not something I would've ever considered seeing, so I'll be interested to see how it turns out.
Based on your seeming distaste for 3D Zelda, I'm guessing you won't be into it either. It's not quite the same thing, but there are enough similarities that I don't think you'll enjoy it much.
I'm personally excited for this news. Both titles are magnificent and a High Def re-release with a steady framerate is exactly what both of these games needed.
For those who are bad with associating developer names, DMA Design is actually Rockstar North. You know them better as the developers of the Grand Theft Auto series.
I also wanted to check this one out when it came out, and that desire only grew around the time that GTA 3 was released. If for nothing else, at this point I'd still like to give it a go to see what else that team can do.
I'm liking the way this one is looking. Mikami and Suda was destined to be an awesome combination, so mark me down as being officially excited.
Totally awesome! These games are going to be great in HD, especially Shadow of the Colossus which suffered from some serious framerate issues.
I heard too much PB&J can give you a stomachache. Stomachaches are the worst.
Your enthusiastic description of this movie definitely has me interested. Chessa and I were considering seeing it when it came out opening weekend, but ultimately decided to do something else.
The trailers give me a real No More Heroes vibe, I'm wondering if it plays out somewhat similarly.
