Gaming Decisions
Nov. 6th, 2008 06:12 pmOK, I know I posted about this last week but the options have now changed. As I've got Dead Space and Fallout 3 (both very good) on loan I don't need to buy either of those. However now there's more games to consider.
Released tomorrow:
* Guitar Hero: World Tour - I'd probably just get the solus disc and use my existing guitar and get the instruments later. Lots of tracks playable on the game disc.
* Gears of War 2 - While I enjoyed the first game, I never really played it online and so didn't really go back to it after finishing it (and that unreasonably difficult end boss) so not so sure the new game will be worth getting on release.
Released 14th Nov:
* Call of Duty: World at War - I only ever played the demo of the fourth game but enjoyed it and I've enjoyed the earlier games. Still, uncertain if this would be the game to go for.
* Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Red Alert 3 won't run on my sad excuse of a PC so I'd have to get it on 360. Problem is, it is one of those games you have to devote a lot of time to and I don't see that happening any time soon.
* Mirror's Edge - I played the demo of Mirror's Edge once and wasn't too taken with it. On replays I can start to see the appeal, it's an interesting concept and well executed but unsure if it's the game I'll decide on.
* Scene It? Box Office Smash - As I had the original, getting this new one will only cost £5 as I won't need to get the controllers again and I have the £15 off. However while the new game adds a lot more content and online play, with all the other exciting stuff coming out, I'm not sure if it's an essential purchase.
Released 21st Nov:
* Rock Band 2 - Finally gets released software only in the UK on the 21st. The game should work with my GH3 guitar so could play the game the same way I would with the new GH. However the new GH gets released tomorrow while I'd have to wait 2 weeks for RB2. Both have an impressively large number of songs available on release but RB2 has access to a lot more via online. Also, many of the better songs are common to both games. Therefore it'd come down to getting the one most other people are getting and I presume that will be RB2, though I'd have to be patient!
Gah, it's so silly. I should probably just get none of the games and just enjoy the ones I have, but I've got this £15 gift card burning a hole in my pocket and I want to make the right decision. Hmm... decisions, decisions...
