Rate the Last Game You Finished

[tredlow]

I am at the final bosses of both Deathspank and New Vegas. I'm still looking for quests in New Vegas, while the final boss in Deathspank is so freaking hard, so technically I haven't finish them, but I'd give both 8/10, because while both are great, none exceed my expectations.

I'm also still playing Assassin's Creed 2 (since I bought it just a few weeks ago), and I'm actually gonna give it a 9, because I kinda enjoyed it more.

Penny Arcade Adventures: OTRSPOD Episode 1 - 8.5/10

I enjoyed it, though I felt it could have used a bit more variety. Gonna be sad when I finish Episode 2, though.

Shank. 7/10

Really fun, can get repetitive and frustrating at times.

Replaying it as Deathspank.

But That Was [Yesterday]: 8/10

Believe me, the ending is the payoff.
It's so great and epic. I really want to spoil but can't.
And now Gamespot states AC: Brotherhood's ending is even more crazy. Hard to believe.

They definitely like those "What." endings, don't they?

My cousin had decided not to get Brotherhood. I just told him this, and received this reply: "...shit". I think I can safely assume his mind has been changed.

Good thing, too. I only have a Wii and don't want to play the PC version, so I had to rely on his Xbox to play the first two games.

Valkyria Chronicles 2 for the PSP

Absolutelty LOVED the first one on the PS3. I still loved this one, but not quite as much. Having to visit the same maps over and over get boring. But the gameplay is still mucho fun.

Imma give it a solid 7/10.

Fallout: New Vegas (360) - 8/10

A great game, but loses a point because of the bugs that detract from the experience - luckily I didn't see a game breaking one but still had my fair share of glitches and crashes. Still, got an enjoyable 80 hours out of it, and I figure I can get another 10 to 20 hours of play time through two of the alternative plot lines and a lot more when I replay it in evil mode! Also, there's always the option of playing through it just by killing everyone and everything. And not forgetting the DLC packs, the first of which is out next month. Hopefully there will be a good, working patch out before then.

DeathSpank. Bought it on Steam.

Disappointed. It has a great visual style, funny dialogues, but the gameplay is just so BORING and REPETITIVE. It certainly has it's moments, and exploring the world was fun for a while, but still, it all gets very old so quickly, that when I talked to Eubrick (the old adventurer) about how to kill Von Prong (hoping to get a quest to go and kill him) and got a set of quests which would send me all over the world for different items, AGAIN... I just thought 'screw it'. Probably will finish it a month or so later, after I rest from it, just to see the end.

Not to mention that the role-playing system is very one-sided, the adventure element (After all, this was supposed to be a hybrid of a Diablo-like RPG and an adventure game, i.e. adventure-like puzzles) is practically non-existent, most of the items are totally useless and the only interesting battles are the ones with Greem queens and with Sergeant Orque.

To be honest, I think Schafer and Gilbert are losing their touch. Psychonauts, DeathSpank, and I suppose Brutal Legends (suppose, because out of the three this is the one I haven't played myself, only heard others' opinions, so I can't really judge it), they have great ideas, visuals, stories, but the gameplay itself becomes so boring and uninteresting that eventually you have to force yourself to go further the storyline and it's only a matter of time before you give up.

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 2 - 9/10

Man that was fantastic. Wish the final boss was a little more challenging, but it was great fun. So so so so sad it's not going to have another episode.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (DS) - 8/10

I enjoyed this far more than I expected I would given the premise. The story and dialogue was great and I was never bored playing it. Will eventually play though the other games in the series.

Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley - 7/10

This is, without a doubt, the funniest game I've played all year. Bar none. Sorry Telltale, Sam & Max came a good second, but Comic Jumper has the most wonderfully childish yet dark sense of humour I've ever come across in a game.

Unfortunately, the whole 'game' aspect is where the problems lie. It's basically a 2D sidescroller where you move with one control stick and control which direction you shoot with the other stick. Which is fine in practice, but the game decides that 'increased difficulty' means 'more enemies with their projectile attacks that are nearly impossible to dodge'.

So while the demo level (the first one) gives you a good example of how the game plays, it utterly fails to give you a grasp of how difficult it is. And it is difficult. Especially on the Manga levels, where everything's in black-and-white and you can't even see the projectiles half the time. This is not conducive to good gameplay. This is just clusterf**king.

When it's good, it's brilliant. When it's not, it's an anger-inducing smorgasboard of frustration. And that's how I'd sum up the game in three words. A hilarious clusterf**k.

Also, the 'He Ain't Even Married' achievement can go f**k itself.

Poker Night. 8/10

Funny, and very realistic (character animations are impressive), but nothing more than a hilarious poker game.

I'm at the point where I have to find those damn codex pages. Gonna take a while. And I'm NOT buying Brotherhood until I finish AC2.

Last Window: The Secret of Cape West (DS) - 9/10

I loved Hotel Dusk and was ecstatic when I heard that there was going to be a sequel and after playing it I'm not disappointed in the slightest. I think I'll actually read the novel that unlocks as you play the game now. And I hope that there will be another game in this series in the not too distant future.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep: 9/10

The best entry in the series so far. It did a great job as a prequel, it was finally a full-featured Kingdom Hearts game on a portable, and the Command Deck system is the best control scheme the series has seen so far.

[MrBeast]

Splinter Cell: Conviction 6/10

I thought it was too action oriented and the story was kinda bland

[DrRocketGenius]

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - 9/10

Loved it. It improved on the already-great Assassin's Creed 2, and the multiplayer is neat, too. The ending, however, was more of a "WWWWWWHHHYYYYYYYY?!" this time instead of a "What." like AC2's. I preferred AC2's.

I just finished the second half of the Dragon Knight Saga, Flames of Vengance.

And it was a blast, perfect ending to the cliff hanger ending to the first half. (Ego Draconis)
I was a little disappointed that I didn't play as the Dragon that much, as I love Dragons and some of my favourite time spent in the first half.
But that doesn't grade down from the fact that the game has a gripping story, and really funny gags through out the entire game. The quests was really nice thought up, and the mind reading ability was better used in the second half, as it's useful every time you talk to someone and gives you more options to finish a quest.

So I will grade it a full 10/10, it's an amazing game, and I have to play it though again as there was a lot of things I missed the first time around.
There is always something new to experience in the game, and there are many ways to play it and develop your character.

I can't wait till the next instalment, and see what Larian Studios comes up with next.

God of War II - 8.5/10

Great game, but I definitely felt that it dragged along in places. Much more interesting than God of War I.
