Your Favorite Non-Tomb Raider Games

I'm surprised that with so many FF fans here, no one has yet mentioned Crisis Core that has already been in release since March 25 (U.S.) and will be released in Europe June 27. I've taken a shot at playing it using a friend's PSP and as one might expect, it has great storytelling and amazing cutscenes to boot. You play mostly as Zack as the game plays to his inevitable fate. Cloud and Tifa have cameo appearances. Core Crisis is an acttion/rpg with combat in real time. http://www.square-enix.co.jp/ccff7/

My anticipation of The Force Unleashed made me overlook the same day release of Crysis: Warhead. So for those FPS lovers in here who have Steam, it may be bought from there or you may purchase a hard copy of course. Players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as ‘Psycho’, one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. Based on some reviews I've read, the game has been fully optimized, the game engine tweaked. Adapt. Engage. Dominate! Take on the fight as the volatile Sergeant “Psycho” Sykes in a new parallel story taking place during the events of Crysis. Psycho’s secret mission will take him to the other side of the island on a ruthless pursui…

Other than alone in the dark and resident evil, I am searching for a game exactly as Silent Hill, a very very horror game, please and other than resident evil and alone in the dark. Resident Evil is a nice game but i liked the third part in PS1, thats my best part other than any other part in PS1,2 and 3, Alone in the dark, didn't see it as a horror movie, its a duisgusting game and wish that didn't buy it before YUK!! Its hard to find a horror game that lookslike SH, but maybe you know some, I think that Silent Hill is the best horror game in all over the game universe!!

Official Diablo III website Awesome! I spent so many hours of my life on Diablo II. There will be a new class of character called the witch-doctor, and there'll be four other classes too, including the barbarian. I hope there's a druid class that's similar to the one in Diablo II. My favourite character was a werewolf-shapeshifting druid. Press release FAQ page

I was wondering if anyone's played Dreamfall-The Longest Journey yet? It came out in April, but I just saw it in the store near me. I've already read online reviews & visited the gamesite, but has anyone heard personally how good/bad it is? I'm thinking of getting it for PC and it'll be one of my few PC games. It's supposed to be the 2nd in a trilogy, though the first came out in 2000, so I think I'll pass on that one. Anyway, here's the link to the gamesite if you're interested: www.dreamfall.com It seems to be a combination of TR + Final Fantasy + plus a mysterious/creepy element.

Well, it's been a long time waiting, including the delays and the release dates being pushed back further, but so far, it sure was worth the wait! Okay, back to gaming!....

Like its 360 predecessors, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire, Bioware's latest offering, Mass Effect, will also be released on the PC come May 2008. http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars...g-to-pcs-in-may I'm not sure if the PC version will include the newest DLC (Downloaded Content) now available on XBox Live --- it would be nice though (a la Gears of War).

Has anyone here got sonc rush adventure on DS. its really cool tell me what you think of it.

Gears of war 2 teaser trailer!!! "To our team the original game was just a tease, the appetizer to the ‘Gears of War’ characters and new style of gameplay. We were so amped to get to the next chapter, and dig deeper into the universe of this franchise,” said Cliff Bleszinski, lead designer for Epic Games. “‘Gears of War 2’ is an even bigger, better, and more badass experience than the first game, and we can’t wait to get it in the hands of eager gamers this November.” Anyone else played the first Gears and really excited about this ?

Played a bit of it --- great fun as it is very charming! Download here: http://www.gamershell.com/download_25786.shtml

I just got Ages of Empires III & War Chiefs for Mother's Day. (Forget the flowers, lol, my family knows what I like ) Completed the "Try a Game" and "Master the Basics", not bad since I've never played before. Does anyone else here play? I was wondering what are the benefits you've liked of the online features.

This second outing takes you to a solitary tropical paradise in the Pacific Ocean, ready for a whole new take on no-holds-barred racing action through thick swamps, dense jungle, towering peaks and steaming volcanoes.

All of the vehicle classes from the first MotorStorm are here …

Hey, I just rented Dynasty Warriors 6 last week and I had a great time with it. It may be just the same hack and slash but it is deeper than any of the other DW games I will tell you. Has anyone else played it?

"It's been six months since we received any details about Devil May Cry 4, Capcom's latest installment in the fast paced action franchise. We learned at TGS that a new character named Nero was taking the lead role of the title instead of Dante, and that his abilities will be somewhat different than the legendary Son of Sparda. However, the build that was shown then was still very early, and while it featured some slowdown and hints of large boss characters, we were teased without a lot of information about the upcoming title. Well, at their recent Gamer's Day, Capcom finally revealed the latest details about the game as well as a new playable demo of the title." Full Ar…
