    Ah fuck it. Two days and still stuck in the same place.

    I'm going to take MZ's advice and go back to easy. Better to enjoy a game instead of getting so frustrated with it that you want to beat the system with an aluminum bat.

    And I swear if I keep hearing Venkman's lines for revival, i'm going to be suicidal. "Yo! Over here! Lil help. Lil help!"

    i was thinking of picking this up the other day, but i'm gonna wait till the price is a bit closer to 40 bones.
    call of duty 2 on veteran is one of the most fun fps experiences ive ever played, same goes for the "one shot and your dead" mode of GRAW it actually requires a little more thought than random button mashing and its so much more fun and satisfying to complete a harder challenge like that.

    I think that's the right call dude. In the big scheme of things what level you finish a game on is only psychological. You're still going through the same storyline and in most cases get the same achievements.

    Damn straight, games are supposed to be fun - so enjoy it rather than get frustrated by it. I know I've had that when I've been stuffed by a game, or stuck at a point, or had a really inconvenient freeze or whatever - it's lame, and it makes playing the game unenjoyable. So it's about finding the fun again - in your case, dropping the hard setting and just having a swell time.

    Yeah, I don't give a toss about completing every setting (except Tony Hawk's games because they are religion to me), it's all about enjoyment. I used to attack my cousin because he used cheats in GTA - it's not my style of play but I have learned to accept it because that's how he likes to play. And he probably got more fun out of the game than I did.

    I remember someone had a sly dig at me when I admitted that I selected Easy on my first playthrough of L4D. "I wouldn't even think of playing L4D on any other setting but advanced" - good for you but that's not how I roll it and it don't make you a better player. Even on Tony Hawk, I always begin on Novice (when I could probably slaughter it at the highest level) because I like to progress naturally. That's what I like to do.

    I restarted GTAIV using the cheat codes and it was a friggin blast! It was so much fun having everything at my fingertips while going through the story.

    Speaking of GTA, does it have live? If so, what is it? Now that I'm on live I need to go back and see what my older games have to offer...

    Cheat codes rule !! Half life 2 bored me to tears without them.

    yeah, gta4 has online play, you access it through niko's cell phone. the lobbies are kinda lame, given that the person selected as the host (the player with the crown icon next to their gamertag) gets to select what weapons will be used, the area of map available, police on/off options, friendly fire, etc...

    and like with most games, some people are almost unnaturally good and impossible to kill, meanwhile they can put you down with a single headshot from a block away.

    gta4's controls and movements made for some boring online play (when it comes to deathmatches and whatnot, especially since you always gotta chase down a decent weapon and some armor to even stand a chance against previously mentioned video game gurus), but just dicking around in free-roam with some buddies is usually a good time.

    Yeah, that gets right on my tits. I was playing Stranglehold live and some invisible c**t kept killing me. Whenever I was back in play, I would be dead within another ten seconds and there was absolutely no way of telling where this dude was. And those maps are small.

    If people want to play, they should just play instead of hiding, the flimsy little pussies!

    Yes - the background chatter is repetitive. The problem is that you generally have talent in for so many days that to get them to read all the secondary lines is hard to schedule. ( For example, we had about 6000 battle chatter lines in COD: World At War - but it wasn't JUST Sutherland reading the lines - they had several actors)

    I think they should have gotten some knock off voices for that - you would have never noticed and it would be less annoying.

    So I guess I've pretty much done everything there is to do with this game. I've beat both the next gen and wii versions on all three difficulties, collected all of the artifacts, and just about got all the achievements.

    All things considered, I still give the game a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. It's solid as a video game, but incredible as a third story in the Ghostbusters franchise. Most of the flaws are minor and you can overlook them.

    Now bring on the DLC!

    Thanks, Bass. I think I'd rather give the demo a shot before wading in and buying.

    No problem. I hope you enjoy it!

    The weird thing is....it's a different demo for each system. So if you have both ps3 and 360, you can actually play two levels for free.

    And I guess this gives our pals overseas who got f*cked on the release date a chance to see what it's about.....

    Releasing a demo a month AFTER the release !?! What will they think of next.


    My son actually plays the game more than I do and it's no left 4 dead but I really like it as well. In terms of game purchases you could do alot worse.
