360 G.U.N

Firstly. Really, really good game. Very gritty and adult without being a deliberate kiddie-magnet, Just sensibly violent with very mature content that seems more appropriate than gimmicky.

Secondly, OMFG its hard. Frustratingly so at times. I havent even touched 'insane' difficulty. Sticking with 'hard' as i know that uber-difficulties can detract from enjoyment. But seriously, some bits are freaking beyond.

For anyone who knows the game, i've just got the sharpshooter and have to defend the dude on the gat-gun. Cannot survive or if i do he doesnt. Utter controller throwing nightmare atm!! But mostly its very enjoyable. Graphics are decidedly last-gen but some of the explosive effects are very cool.

On the whole i reccommnd this to anyone who hasnt caught it elsewhere, especially as it can be had for a shade over £20 atm

Think its one of the more easily forgotten 360 titles. I played it for a while on the original Xbox and it seemed enjoyable, so will probably pick this version up when I see it cheap.

yeah this is a really good game, i hope they make a sequel to it. you get a nice gun when you complete the game

this is a damn cool game

, love the fact that he just seems so bad ass lol. his voice, the way he walks, talks, shoots etc.

i find that takin a few people out with the sharp shooter and then usin the quick draw feature for anyone else thats quite close did the job. though it did take quite a number of attempts, very annoying at times

I played it straight through on Insane difficulty. Great game and very damn hard

I couldn't be bothered going back through on the other diffs to get the other achievements though. Was hoping doing it on insane would have given me them all but no joy

Hehe I was pimping this game a wgile back when I had it on rental, it's very good. I have been looking for a cheap copy of it for a while but not found one so it is back in my rentals list.

Snip.

GUN was one of my favourite games from last year - I didn't do any of the sub-quests, but the main quest was thoroughly enjoyable the whole way through.

I am glad I did not buy King Kong - got that one rental and finished it in under a day and I am not good at games but kong ...... just bash the button all the way through, thoroughly disappointed. My Xbox Blog was impressed though :

VIRII UK's Xbox - 05/14/06
VIRII UK held the Xbox button on his controller down for a few seconds and our adventure began! A gamer score of 3075 is lighting the way. That is a gain of 615 points over last time! He played The Outfit gaining 1 achievement, King Kong gaining 5 achievements, and did it while drooling over my awesome graphics and sound.

VIRII UK's Xbox - 05/13/06
I thought VIRII UK just wanted to listen to music or watch a DVD. Turns out he was there to game. With a gamer score of 2460, I should have known that was the case. That is a gain of 400 points over last time! He played King Kong gaining 4 achievements, and did it while drooling over my awesome graphics and sound

(I think that the "day" cutoff point is about lunchtime).

Currently playing Amped 3 a little bit (on rental) and The Outfit (on rental) both are much better than expected although I suck at Amped 3 even when dressed as a pink Bunny.
