"Bought a brick"

Everyone give me 15 brilliant games to buy that are out now, and as many as you like that are coming up.

Don't include Halo, Splinter Cell or Phantom Crash.


GO!

I laughed myself stupid at one of the minigames, the one where you have to jump or whack the bar swinging about, which gets faster and more tence.

I wouldn't buy the game, but it made me laugh, so respect to KFC.

D'you have an Xbox Tiltawhirl?

I agree. While it won many awards, not many people bought it on the scale it deserved - and it deserved the status games like Doom, Quake and Goldeneye had received in the past.

As for the two versions - I've owned both. The PC version had loads of options and ways to go, but came off complicated and as though it was trying to be too many things. The PS2 one was more refined, and more logical - but suffered from some frame rate and graphical issues. Neither was perfect, but both were immensely playable in their own right.

No, I was expecting not much really. Had no idea what it was, my mate said it was the only 4 player game he's got and it's a bit crappy.

Nothing prepared me for the shear stinkyness that was presented before me.

On another note, I quite enjoyed Buffy actually. Might even think about purchasing the new one that's coming out for Cube later this year, it was good fun and I'm certainly no Buffy fan.

Well Whitestripes will have to see for himself....

BTW you was'nt expecting it to be like Smash Bros was you?

Don't get Toejam & Earl III either - its disappointingly poor. Shame that.

Don't get Kung-Fu Chaos, I played it at the weekend in 4 player and it's rubbish.

The camera's just crap, half the time I couldn't see what I was doing.

The PC version is Under Rated if anything. Deus EX is a superb game and definitley one of my all tiem favourites. People who call it over rated are usually the ones who find it too difficult to complete ;) The game mixes different genres into one whilst maintaining a superb story line with great characters. The 2nd one is one of my most anticipated titles along with Halo 2, Dead or Alive 4 and Operation Flashpoint. A game that wins 37 seperate Game of the Year Awards and the best PC title of that year doesn't get those acolades for nothing. What makes it so over rated? The PS2 version is inferior to the PC version so don't mix them up.

Yes, it is over-rated, especially on PS2.

Sequel might be okay though, as long as you can play it on Live (and it works reasonably well.....)

It's not overrated. And this one will be awesome, no matter what your opinion of the first.
