This week in Games Review thread

[kickingtotalass]

I know some games get individual threads but I figured we could use this.

I'm patiently waiting for Transformers RoTF & Overlord 2 reviews to drop atm.

Feel free to post even the not so popular game reviews in here as they hit.

The Conduit got an 8.5 or so at IGN, still not bothering with it.

I'll second the OL2 review want. I think it was discussed previously, but the demo left quite a bit open for better or worse, I really want to see some detail from reviews on this before buying.

I will be getting Transformers today from amazon but I don't know if i'll play it or not before I see a review. I did complete the last one but it wasn't very good... I guess I did have some fun with it. I will probably try out the multiplayer first since it seems to be the part that the developers are hyping the most, plus I haven't seen the movie yet.

well toys r us has a pretty bitchin deal when buying overlord 2 or transformers get a select few games 60% off.

Bionic Commando is one of them, so I might bite on it for that price. (oh and today is my friday at work, we need to do some more bustin online!)

I'm off after 9pm eastern.

I didn't much care for Bionic Commando but I liked the first Overlord, it was just a little too quirky and took forever to get anywhere. I've been wanting to try out the demo but I'm afraid that I'll like it...have way too much to play right now. I'm trying to decide on playing Prototype or Red Faction, plus I have Tranformers and Fight Night. I am on vacation this weeke so I'm up for some bustin tonight, probably around 11 eastern time

killer i'll be on then, yeah overlord 1 did take wayyyy too long to get from A to B a lot of times. Game was way longer than I wanted it to be, so I never did the evil evil playthrough.

Ah ok, I was thinking it was more a user review thread for new games or something. So just scores then?

Magic the Gathering has a 79 on metacritic, and has an 88 user rating. Not bad for an arcade game.

[kalel1974]

I've seen you playing that all weekend, you must be liking it... Oh I saw Lost Odyssey on Amazon for $27, thinking of buying it you said that you liked it...right.

The game is challenging in parts as a good Magic game should be, plus it has good online support for versus games. There also is co-op versus the AI, but unfortunatley it's only local co-op.

Dude it's an awesome RPG if you're into JRPG's, just make sure you install it.

scores, text, whatever. Just a hey so and so gave this game this.

Usually only big big releases get their own threads and plenty of games fly under the radar so I figured we could use this.

Transformers & Overlord 2 are good examples of possible good games that won't get their own threads.
