So.

Cry Of Fear is the scariest game I've ever f**king played. It's also free to download and play on Steam.

But holy sh*t. I thought Silent Hill and the Condemned games were the worst as far as scary went.

Dishonored
Far Cry 3
and Rage..

Far Cry 3 is my favorite out of the three at the moment. Great games though.

So, what do you guys think of this, quite the U turn from Microsoft.


Some people have been mocking Microsoft for the decision, but I think it's just smart business. They realized that they failed so utterly to sell their vision that it had become irrelevant -- the road was closed, and it was detour or Xbox go home. Honestly, I have to say they pulled some of the biggest marketing f**k-ups in human history. They failed to justify their policies on any level and just made asses of themselves in every response to the controversy.

Ironically, the multiplayer for Last of Us is pretty dope.
 
My other beef was MP is usually boring, they "try" but its all the same thing.
This one has a bit of a different feel and some real attempts at adding something to MP besides just killing. Pretty unique, naughty dog wins again!
Also its near impossible to be cheap. Ammo is low, kills come pretty difficult and there's no cheap perks and etc
 
This is MP I like : D

The only issue with the game is the silliness of the companion AI sometimes (Bill did it constantly..), where they would stomp around, be seen, or bump into enemies without any repercussions. It kind of made me facepalm a bit, but at least the slight clumsiness of the AI didn't really stab me in the back - it just sometimes broke the feeling at that moment. 

I would love to play the game on a higher difficultly or watch a friend play it for the first time. 
I won't try to rate it because that'll just ruin it for me. All i know is i wish more games were like this and had the same effect on me and my enthusiasm.

To be fair, I thought graphics kinda plateaued years ago. They always get "better" but it's always in such fine or minute ways ya know? Half the time my brother will point these things out and I can't even notice!
Years ago though they reached the point where it resembles real life and now we're just improving realityLOL


No, not really. Just look at the PC versions of titles like The Witcher 2 and Crysis 3, as well as some of the upcoming titles. There's a lot of room for improvement, really; we've just been in an awful funk for the last few years because this console generation just wouldn't die. Games are mostly made to console specs, and the 360 is going on 8 years old. By contrast, the SNES showed up in 1990, followed by N64 in 1996 (5-and-a-half years later), then the Gamecube in 2001 (5 years later) and Wii in 2006 (5 years later). 5 years, give or take, has been the standard for ages. Sony followed a similar pattern -- 5 years for PS to PS2, 6 years from PS2 to PS3. We've been outdated and ready for a change for 3 years now.
 
Thank goodness for that.  Honestly, (and I love my video games, trust me) I feel like they've rushed the generations of consoles in the past way too fast.  Who cares if graphics don't advance that fast?  Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've never found myself saying, "Man, I can't play this anymore.  These graphics are just too outdated."  As long as games are fun or have compelling stories or whatever, they'll be bought and played by gamers.  Plus, it meant I could buy games instead of having to save up to buy a whole new console.
