Yes, that's why I said IT DIDN'T MAKE IT FAR PAST FIRING BEES.

Right, to which I reply "They are nothing alike except in that they are both first person shooters"

I finally watched a video for Bulletstorm. Why isn't it called Footstorm?

Turns out once I got around to playing he demo I wasn't all that impressed by it anyway. It did make me really glad I installed F.E.A.R. yesterday though, because now I really want to go play F.E.A.R.

(Explanation: because F.E.A.R. let's you be fuckawesome in ways that Bulletstorm really doesn't and would have probably been a much more popular game if it had played up that aspect instead of the shitty haunted house tour one.)

yeah steve blum as the dumbest guy didn't appeal to me, though all the various ways to deal with emerging enemy attacks did.

As for F.E.A.R. i definitely the did a lot of the same kind of thing you do in Bulletstorm. I considered it a personal failing if i didn't have at least 3+ people nailed to the roof with the penetrator after any given firefight and i would intentionally bum-rush and bicycle kick Alma wherever possible.

Brentai · « **Reply #2668 on:** February 06, 2011, 09:46:32 AM »

I think everyone's initial reaction to Alma is to try and kick her.

Mansions of Madness

I WANT THIS GAME

They made one of the characters Indiana Jones with a guitar and a dog and expect people to play as anyone else?

Büge · « **Reply #2671 on:** February 09, 2011, 05:37:04 AM »

They named the dog Indiana.

Burrito Al Pastor · « **Reply #2672 on:** February 09, 2011, 06:57:41 AM »

Oh, that's Ashcan Pete. He was originally in Arkham Horror, where he could eat his dog (Duke) to recover his sanity.

That was a bit of a mechanical/thematic mismatch. Otherwise he was a pretty cool character, though.

Büge · « **Reply #2673 on:** February 10, 2011, 04:16:17 AM »

He could also draw cards from the bottom of a deck, which was fantastically useful.

So apparently, Baba Yetu (aka. that kick ass music from the Civ IV title screen) won a Grammy last night for "Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s)", making it the first piece of music originally composed for a video game to win a Grammy, and also validates what most people have said all along, that the best part of Civ IV might actually BE the title screen. That shit just makes you feel good about what you're about to do, even if what you're about to do is lead Otto Von Bismark to world domination by the sword.

Mongrel · « **Reply #2675 on:** February 14, 2011, 08:35:52 AM »

Wait.... that was composed just for the video game?!

Bal · « **Reply #2676 on:** February 14, 2011, 08:53:37 AM »

Yes.

Norondor · « **Reply #2677 on:** February 14, 2011, 03:48:57 PM »

that arrangement, at least. it's some people singing the lord's prayer in swahili, which maybe you already knew...?

Bal · « **Reply #2678 on:** February 15, 2011, 04:51:48 AM »

Yeah, but that's not a song, Noro. He composed all the music and accompanied it with that choir. By the way, the lord's prayer is not traditionally sung in any language.

What about Latin?
