    Golden Gun was the last achievement I got (for 100% completion) and I hated it too. Not a fun game, and people would just camp and kill anybody who came near it. I never played MP for Bloodstone though, I stopped playing games online after about a year of XBOX Live. I was just talking about story mode.

    I played for a little while longer last night, like 10 more minutes. Still not crazy about it, but it's not terrible.

    The premise is kind of lame, I'll expand. It starts out with a scene from Skyfall, and Bond get's knocked off a bridge into the water, then he wakes up in a dream as Bond from different eras. I don't know if it's all supposed to be a dream, or if they're saying that this all supposedly really happened and it is flashbacks, and creating a continuity/canon within the game or something.

    It would have been so much better to just made the levels about the classic movies, they use all the same bad guys, just change the Bond.
    Saw SF today so that makes a bit of sense. It would not be too bad as flashbacks I guess.

    Yeah, I didn't want to say too much, I haven't seen it yet, but I didn't know if it was a spoiler or something. But it's when he's on top of a train, and he gets shot I think (I forget it was like 2 weeks ago when I started) and falls into the water, and goes into flashback mode. Also, now that Skyfall is released there is Skyfall DLC for the game.

    There are a lot that would rank higher, but here are the most grievous snubs:

    Super Mario World
    Civ 4
    Final Fantasy 2
    Tecmo Super Bowl
    Red Alert 2
    Red Dead Redemption
    Zelda: Link to the Past
    Super Mario 2 and 3
    Rome: Total War
    Miss Pac Man
    R.B.I. Baseball
    NHL '94
    Super Mario Kart

    How does REZ even make that list? :fp:

    that list is pretty bad... its mostly a list of the most popular game done by decades. katamari is on that list but they exclude silent hill 2 and resident evil 2, the best of franchise, though they included the first of those series. guitar hero and rock band but no ocarina of time....

    that list was a bit all over the place. Should have called it the biggest breakthroughs or something.


    Civ 4 I agree IMO is the best game ever. You can say Civ I is better.

    Same goes with GTA III. Vice City and San Andreas were way better. At this time I would probably play GTA II before I would III. But it was the major breakthrough for the series.

    ToeJam and Earl I would put on the list.

    Tetris should be higher. Everyone has played it and is aware of what it is.

    A lot of those I never heard of.

    There is just too much criteria to make a definitive list like that. There are a lot of different criteria. I prefer a sandbox game and the more freedom you have to branch off, do what you want, customization, etc/replayability, the better the game is. Linear games would not make it that close to the top of my list.

    Nostalgia is important too, which is why Techmo Super Bowl would be rated higher than say Madden 2008.

    Battletoads was another great Nintendo game. Linear, but so challenging. No room for error.

    Anyone here getting the Wii U? Prob not me, but I gotta say some of the games look pretty good.

    Super Mario U got a good review.

    Looks like Nintendo is finally ready to enter the adult content world.

    I'd say it's more or less the adult world finally ready to enter the world of Nintendo.

    Star Wars: The Old Republic is now Free-to-Play up to level 50!

    What an amazing concept ... you don't have to pay a monthly fee to play a game you spent $60 on.

    I was so mad when they decided to make that instead of Knights Of The Old Republic 3. I don't do those MMORPG things. And I don't do subscriptions for games I already bought.

    How so? Have they changed significantly?
