Help me do my job...

Well, unpaid job, none the less. My task is to play through any 360 game, and give it a refreshing review.

Obviously I will post my raw review before it goes off for editing lol.

But I cannot for the life of me pick a game amongst my collection to play! Don't mind if it's short, long, series based, I have 2 weeks to do this in as it will be released in the 'mid summer' issue at the end of next month.

Ideas?

Oh, no restrictions on which game, don't care about genre, just has to be a full 360 title

EDIT: just got the word, no XBLA games and no restriction on age of game. Could be Halo 3 or BLOPS or anything!

Alan Wake!

K1LLSW1TCH · 29 Jun 2011 at 13:22

Duke Nukem or Summer Athletics: The Ultimate Challenge.

Haha, some good suggestions, Alan Wake could be good, amazing game.

As for the others, suppose I could do a 'funny' review lol.

Fallout New Vegas or F.3.A.R.

Why not review a new game?? Why review a game that has probably been reviewed a 100 times before (and maybe to a better standard)

K1LLSW1TCH · 29 Jun 2011 at 15:01

How about Final Fantasy XIII? I was interesting in getting it as it's only £10 and I need a game to play, I'd definitely base my purchase on your review.

Another vote for Hannah Montana: The Movie: The Game.

It isn't going to be a standard slap and dash release review, it's going to be slightly more odd than that. Lack of imagination, you have...

Huh, wouldn't be much popular, I got maybe 20 hours in and gave up farming in that huge grass field landscape... Giving me the chance to grind and silently saying "Hey, you are about 1/3rd through the game, you are currently weak, do some grinding". Not my idea of fun.

Jesus, this is going to be awful

lol at Hannah Montana suggestion.

How about Dead Space or Assassins Creed?

Twentyone · 29 Jun 2011 at 18:16

Where will this be posted?

When you say full 360 title, does that mean an exclusive? My English is not that good

Another one for Dead Space if not, or just do Alan Wake. Or Bayonetta!

He just means not an XBLA game, Geometry Wars for example.

Actually Alan Wake is a good suggestion, some people loved it and some people thought it was rubbish. Admittedly the lip syncing is total crap but half the time you're looking at your characters back anyway. It'd be interesting to see what you think of it Agnes.

Welcome to Final Fantasy!

I showed my sister that post and she agrees. If it's an absolute borefest I think I'll give it a miss.

Bionic Commando. Underrated.

Sister ehhh?

To be honest, I enjoy the story more than anything. I tend to get caught up in it that the grinding typically feels shorter as I rush towards the next part of the story. Although I actually had quite fun grinding my characters to the max in FFXIII, and you only need to do a little grinding to finish the game. If you want to do the rest, then yeah, 30-40+ hours grinding mobs at least.

Go Oldschool and review something like MGS vs MGS4

I've never played a Final Fantasy game, not even VII or the various PS2 games and I never had a Nintendo so I haven't played the earlier ones either. Up until now my only RPG type games have been the Fallout series and I was looking to get into the genre a little more. Games with easy achievements would be a bonus.

That's a fantastic idea, MGS is my favourite franchise, I'd love to see somebody here make some sort of comparison or a combined review of MGS, Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater and Guns of The Patriots. Though I think the OP asked for Xbox 360 games, maybe a review of the HD Collection when it hits later this year.
