Eurogamer Expo: Top 10 Games

By Tom Bramwell Published 31 October, 2008

As voted for by you.

First things first, apologies if you were disappointed, having read our Eurogamer Expo preview on Monday, to discover that the MotorStorm: Pacific Rift vehicle outside the Expo entrance was a monster truck instead of a Humvee. We are also sorry that so many of you missed the chance to touch Bertie's moustache, which endures even now atop the sweater-clad granite torso and arms of news-typing sultriness.

One thing we are happy about is that loads of you filled out our Eurogamer Expo exit poll form thing, which gives us all sorts of useful feedback to plug into our thoughts for next year's show, assuming we do one. And we are assuming we do one, since over 90 per cent of respondents said they'd come again. That's not why we're happy though; we're happy because we can present your Eurogamer Expo Top 10 based on the time you spent playing the games on display. You.

One day we'll write the whole site in italics. Until that day, let's do the top ten in reverse order starting with...

10. Prince of Persia

Ubisoft's decision to reboot the Prince of Persia series with stylised visuals, an elegant (if slightly controversial) new combat system and a new female counterpart, Elika, went down well with a good number of you at the Expo. Building on the running and jumping mechanics fine-tuned in the Sands of Time trilogy, the new Prince bounces around with typical deftness at the behest of simplified controls, as he and Elika pursue the naughty old god of darkness, Ahriman, in an attempt to cleanse his corruption and save the poor old Tree of Life from certain wilting. A fate, to judge by your enthusiasm, unlikely to befall one of Ubisoft's oldest and grandest properties.

9. Fallout 3

Having gone up on the first day of the Expo, Kristan's towering 10/10 for Bethesda's own series reboot was the topic of a lot of conversation, and came up during both of our Ask Eurogamer panels. Over a shorter distance than the 60 hours Kristan travelled touring the world outside the Vault, though, you were able to appreciate the VATS combat system, and Bethesda's imperious wasteland, before voting the game among your favourites of the whole show. It's out today in Europe on all three formats, and if you can't make up your mind about which format to buy it on, look out for a special Face-Off Bonus Round next week taking in all three platforms, along with another Fallout-related live treat.

8. Gears of War 2

'Eurogamer Expo: Top 10 Games' Screenshot 3

In a sea of new IP and fascinating overhauls, it's almost boring to be excited about Gears of War 2, but enough of you were undeterred by the shiny new things sitting a few metres to either side to propel it this far into the top ten. As covered extensively over the last few months, Gears 2 is a self-conscious sequel that aims to do everything the first game did with greater aplomb, throwing a few addictive new modes like Horde onto the disc to bolster the feature-set. With the game out on 7th November, we won't have to wait long to find out if Marcus and Dom finally kiss, and you won't have to wait long for our verdict, either, as the review embargo lifts on Monday afternoon...

7. Call of Duty: World at War

Publisher Activision has been working overtime to position this as a true sequel to last year's massively popular Modern Warfare, despite the change of developer, but the benchmark for placement here is the game's performance itself, so it's a testament to Treyarch that Call of Duty: World at War finds itself ahead of Gears 2 after its bow at the Expo. Even more so when you consider that the core Expo audience will have been among those hoovering up our beta keys last month, if not playing on the PC beta this week. For a game with that much exposure to outgun triple-A games most of the people present had never played before suggests a thoroughbred. Plus: zombies.

6. Left 4 Dead

Zombies, of course, will only get you so far. Good thing, then, that Left 4 Dead has Valve's incomparable craft to back them up. A co-op shooter by design, the time that design has taken would be a source of concern were it any other developer besides perhaps Nintendo. But the AI created by the Valve's since-absorbed comrades at Turtle Rock ensures a new experience on every playthrough of the game's tight levels, while numerous other ideas gently conduct the party into concert, rewarding team-play and emphasising the perils of playing Rambo with subtle authority. The fact you can take leading rolls in the monster pack that haunts the human survivors trying to escape a zombie-infested city is another reason to keep an eye on this one. And you seem to agree.

5. Street Fighter IV

'Eurogamer Expo: Top 10 Games' Screenshot 6

Permanently manned by Capcom's effusive British PR Leo Tan, the SF IV arcade and Xbox 360 pods at the Expo were popular, to say the least. Told that the beat-'em-up - yet another series reboot - had ranked fifth in the exit poll, Leo explained that he must now "kill everyone who reads Eurogamer", but we'd advise him to stay his hand, because it is so close at this end of the top ten. While some of the titles in the first half are strung out, there's almost nothing to separate SF IV from the games above it, and the fact that a 2D beat-'em-up built on decade-old principles can stand toe to toe with the best action games of this generation speaks volumes for the work already completed by Yoshinori Ono and his Japanese development team. That said, Leo is correct when he points out that Ryu is best, because he fights with honour, innit. Filthy Ken.

4. LittleBigPlanet

  • Media Molecule
  • PS3
  • Out on 5th November
'Eurogamer Expo: Top 10 Games' Screenshot 7

We had nothing to do with the recall, you know. It was just a coincidence. But like COD 5, it's impressive that LittleBigPlanet managed to hold your Expo attention so effectively given its recent beta exposure, and it seems safe to say that this most obscure and brilliant of Sony's new-model IPs is destined to enjoy success in the hands of PS3 owners when it finally hits shop shelves in Europe next week. Again, there's not much to separate this one from the top of your list, and, interestingly, it's not even the highest-placed PS3 exclusive. After two cold winters lagging behind the guts and guns of Microsoft's everything-and-the-kitchen-sink first-mover desperation, could this be Sony's Happy Christmas? We shall see.

=2. Resident Evil 5

And...

=2. Killzone 2

  • Guerrilla
  • PS3
  • Out in February

We told you it was tight at this end of the table. Despite a huge percentage of attendees putting their names to a favourite game, there isn't a single vote to spare between Resident Evil 5 and Killzone 2. Very different games, the one thing that unites them is that you won't be able to buy either until next year, and we're very grateful that Capcom and Sony were prepared to let you get your hands on them so early. After the critical success of Resident Evil 4, the fifth game seems to have lost little of its appeal to series fans despite being transplanted to a new African setting and - gasp - daylight gameplay. Familiar, oppressive controls and atmosphere, and some promising co-op elements, were among the things our conversations around the pods suggest are appealing to you lot, but we suspect the series' nearly 35 million sales have built up a bit of loyalty too.

Killzone, of course, has nothing like that to fall back on, but with nearly 17 million PS3 owners around the world desperate for Guerrilla to deliver on the promise of that CG trailer back in 2005, there's a comparable sense of excitement. The multiplayer components are elaborate and extensive, binding discrete sessions together through customisation and reward systems. It's an evolution of principles embodied by Call of Duty 4, to some extent, but the single-player game arguably owes Infinity Ward a greater debt, from our experience, as it assembles a tightly-staged succession of dramatic in-game events and drives you through the middle of them with a fancy gun. For those of you who played it at the Expo, you might be interested to learn that the build of the game on display was several months old. We'll be heading to Holland soon to catch up with the latest tweaks.

1. Mirror's Edge

'Eurogamer Expo: Top 10 Games' Screenshot 10

We're surprised. Not because Mirror's Edge is a dull game - it's a fascinating attempt to repurpose mechanics in a way that nobody else has dared. Not because Mirror's Edge is a risky proposition - after all, last year's biggest games included Portal, BioShock, Crackdown and Mass Effect, and this year looks to be ruled by the likes of LittleBigPlanet, so new IP is definitely hitting home. But we are surprised, because Mirror's Edge is the sort of game that you have to really work with to get. No doubt you'll be filling in more of your impressions now that the demo's available on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, but if the game's reception at the Expo is anything to go by, the new-look EA is not just delivering on John Riccitiello's aim to produce new games in addition to the usual rush of sequels, but capable of turning out original ideas in the process. Whether or not the finished game stands up to extended inspection, we want more of this please, EA. Thanks.

And thanks to all of you who voted.

    Mirrors Edge was the most interesting by far!

    oh and FIRST!
    Edited by 1 at 31/10/08 @ 12:16

  • Fab4 #2 3 years ago

    Oh my! Time to get the flame-retardant underwear on.

  • Darren #3 3 years ago

    Hmmm... :?

    /feels a little left out because he didn't enjoy the Mirror's Edge demo one iota.

  • Spooke #4 3 years ago

    I didn't even see Left 4 Dead... that's was one I was looking forward to.

  • DrR0b3rts #5 3 years ago

    Voted SF4 simply because I gave up my seat after an undefeated 8 man run.

  • DB2k #6 3 years ago

    how many votes were there in total?

    Crazy results - not what I was expecting at all!!!

  • Mayhem64 #7 3 years ago

    My top five were the top five in this list! Now that's spooky... although I had SF4 further up, I spent most time on that of the whole Expo now.

  • Spooke #8 3 years ago

    my least favourite was Res5, it doesn't matter how nice your graphics are, the control system is still hokey as shit.

  • Woffls #9 3 years ago

    This is fantastic. I'm really happy and surprised that Mirror's Edge made the top spot. It was by far the game of the show for me, and i think it had the best showing overall too. It looked incredible and played even better. Top job again from EA on a new franchise for 2008.

  • Tomo #10 3 years ago

    Mirror's Edge was the most pleasant surprise for me, but Left 4 Dead was probably my favourite.

  • Widge #11 3 years ago

    WHAT! MEGADRIVE BIAS!

  • Nick #12 3 years ago

    Honourable mention for "Plain Sight" too - one of the games featured in the Pixel-Lab Indie Arcade which impressed enough of you to specifically mention it on the feedback form.

  • Physically_Insane #13 3 years ago

    Left 4 dead was my personal number 1. I hadn't really taken any notice of it to begin with but since it was so popular I decided to have a quick shot. Instant buy! Want more.

  • Widge #14 3 years ago

    I really can't WAIT for Killzone 2. A bit telling how no-one is really hyped for Resistance 2.

  • Oh-Bollox #15 3 years ago

    Can't wait to see the Fallout 3 version comparison.

    "Well, the PC version has -NO PROBLEMS-, but the 360 version has -NO PROBLEMS- and the PS3 has -NO PROBLEMS-.

    Overall, ALL VERSIONS ARE PERFECT. BUY ALL THREE.

  • captain_artyfartfog #16 3 years ago

    Killne 2 will smash Gears of War 2 inthe fartbox.

  • MieZ™ #17 3 years ago

    Didn't really enjoy the Mirror's Edge demo either...

  • Agent_Llama #18 3 years ago

    Woo, had I known there was an exit poll thing I would have plumped for Mirror's Edge too.

  • T4RG4 #19 3 years ago

    Mirrors Edge... hmmm, I think the demo is all I will need to have fun with the game.

    Why oh why do people keep saying EA has changed. EA only has to accept concept proposals and back them! Its the developers being given the chance to make the games they've probably been submitting for ages that happens to be changing the image of EA. Gah.

    L4D - As expected - outdated graphics but fun with friends - will buy
    Resi5 - Same old and slightly outdated mechanics dressed in nicer clothes - will probably buy for co-op
    FC2 - Already got this one, well worth the purchase just for the lovely open world!
    Street Fighter - This is still popular? Meh
    Gears2 - Just multiplayer match which didnt show anything (and I hate deathmatch Gears anyhow, its best SP and Co-op)
    COD5 - Quite impressed, felt fairly solid but oh so more of the same and not worthy of a purchase IMO, COD4 is still strong
    Legendary - 2/10

    99% of the DS and Wii stands were empty...

    There were loads of people playing FIFA... I didnt understand this as its available in demo form, at least via XBL and I would imagine PSN :-/

  • Pinewood_Groves #20 3 years ago

    Didn't see any chance to vote, but no matter! Mirror's Edge was best in show by far for me - I preordered this morning!

  • Joco84 #21 3 years ago

    @ eddbogg

    Shut up you little child. I'm tired of PS Fanboys, it might be half term, but you don't need to act like a kid!
    I own a PS3 also, but I am respectful enough not to slate other games, purely becuase they are on another console.

    Anyway....

    GoW2 is looking good, was surprised it wasn't higher on the list.
    Mirrors Edge is a suprise hit, seems to be getting a lot of attention and from the version I just played at the EA display in Trafalgar Square, rightly so.
    Its gonna be a good couple of months in gaming!

  • Widge #22 3 years ago

    eddbogg is doing the humour thing

  • mashk #23 3 years ago

    Gears 2 @ 8. Oh my!

  • Triggerhappytel #24 3 years ago

    I'm not sure where we were supposed to vote - was it that topic in the forum? I would have put a bit more effort in to it had I known.

    Anyway, my top three were 3) Mirror's Edge, 2) LBP and 1) Killzone 2.

    I was a little surprised to see Resi 4.5 so high; it is basically the same as the last one with a HD lick of paint. That might be enough for some people, but not for me. I definitely won't be buying that at full price.

  • Widge #25 3 years ago

    I will because I didn't finish Resi4

  • Xerx3s #26 3 years ago

    Hmm surprising. I expected LBP to win. I expected ME to be in the lower regions. And KZ2 and COD5?

  • ronuds #27 3 years ago

    They didn't have any Wii games at the expo?

  • Widge #28 3 years ago

    I think LBP will have been hampered by loads of people finally getting their mitts on it. Whereas something like Killzone2 is still a bit of a mystery thanks to the closed beta.

  • JHuxley #29 3 years ago

    @Xerx3s

    According to people in the beta, KZ2 is very impressive. And not just the graphics; it's actually fun to play too.

    It seems to have won over a good portion of the people who played it at the expo, too.

    To be honest I'm pretty surprised by all this myself since I was expecting the worst after the first KZ.

    Plus, you have to remember that Mirrors Edge is multi-platform which gives it the...edge. Some of those votes will surely have been tarnished by platform bias.

  • septimus #30 3 years ago

    A great list of games and all worthwhile purchases.

    Though, I finally had a go at Gears 2 myself, got through over half the game (in co-op on insane) in 2.5 hours. Great fun for 2.5 hours, but damn...a little disappointed. It just doesn't feel as good to play as the original through story mode. Multiplayer is quite a bit better and more flowing though.

  • ronuds #31 3 years ago

    @ septimus

    How do you know how much of the game you got through?

  • septimus #32 3 years ago

    Guy I was playing co-op with had already completed it. 5:30 something minutes on hardcore.

    Edit: Even though, it is still a 100% buy. Some of the dialogue though, skip it, insanely cheesy and I was waiting for some of the characters to come out of the closet at points and run off together.

  • lambtron #33 3 years ago

    Killzone??????!

  • asphaltcowboy #34 3 years ago

    I think Gears is high on the list because it's a known quantity. I'll still be waiting expectantly for my pre-order to arrive next week! Mirror's Edge was my GotS as well, as good as I was hoping! Also going to grab L4D, which was awesome and the new PoP!

  • Triggerhappytel #35 3 years ago

    @ Ronuds - "They didn't have any Wii games at the expo?"

    Besides Mushroom Men, Disaster, Raving Rabbids 3, a port of Obscure II and Shaun White, not really. Smash Bros. Brawl was there, but on the whole the Wii, PSP and DS had a fairly poor showing (LocoRoco 2 aside).

    The section for these three was comparatively empty for most of the show.


    EDIT - @ T4RG4

    You utter cretin - if those developers (like DICE, in this instance) belong to EA then they have to approve the development process, fund it and market it - all of which seems to be a huge success with MEdge at the moment. Ofcourse they have a huge part to play in any of their internally-developed games, meaning that, as much as you may still hate them, they have changed. I can't see EA in 2001/2002 approving a unique concept like MEdge, and backing it so fully.
    Edited by 1 at 31/10/08 @ 14:03

  • Luckyjim #36 3 years ago

    Good to see that Killzone 2 ranks high. Wasn't arsed about it for a long time but recent good press is starting to make me take notice.

    Also, very pleased Mirror's Edge did so well. After the playing the demo, this has pushed Fallout 3 from my limited 'games to buy before Christmas' list.

  • Thunderbolt #37 3 years ago

    Killzone was never a bad game it was unfairly labelled a Halo beater. But was still a solid FPS. In fact (IMO) it was a precurser to GOW in that you couldn't run in guns blazing you had to take the slow method to progress, taking cover and lining up your shots.

    Therefore with a bit of tweaking it had to the potential to be a killer game.

    A bit more story this time from both sides of the war would be appreciated and even the possibility of playing as a Helghast would also be good.

    Anyway it's looking good

  • TheLittlestHobo #38 3 years ago

    I loved Gears 1 SP, (MP never really floated my boat), but for some reason I am not excited about Gears 2. Mirrors Edge and L4D are the ones getting the juices flowing for me. I'm looking forward to the ME demo tomorrow, hope the game will be as good as it looks.

  • T4RG4 #39 3 years ago

    Triggerhappytel

    First off, grow up. No need for stupid comments.


    I'm simply saying I'm dissapointed to see that EA (in particular one guy there) is getting a lot of back slapping when just as much, if not more, should go to the developers. Yes, they have to fund it and approve (which I mentioned) but that isnt the whole story now is it? I am not saying they derserve zero credit, merely that it appears to be out of balance. You still actually have to be able to produce the games and the EA parent company have little if anything to do with that (development wise). In the case of ME, its an extreme one. What is important is the story for the long-term across multiple projects (i.e. increase in quality).

    Edited by 1 at 31/10/08 @ 14:18

  • Triggerhappytel #40 3 years ago

    @ T4RG4

    Yes, credit must be given to DICE - of course, they developed it, they made MEdge what it is. Kudos to them; I am not denying that.

    But I find your logic somewhat beguiling. DICE belongs to EA, therefor by extension EA deserve the credit too. It's like saying Microsoft Game Studios have never produced a good game because it's all been Bungie and Lionhead who are a seperate entity.

    To argue that EA haven't changed when the evidence is stark is just ridiculously naive.

  • Ignatius_Cheese #41 3 years ago

    retibra - ...and animation top-notch.

    Congrats asphalt!! ;o)

  • T4RG4 #42 3 years ago

    Yes, I'll admit my first post should have read a little differently. Perhaps 'EA havent yet had a complete turnaround' would have been a little more apt.

    I would however argue that the developers make the good games (and the rotten stinkers - i.e Legendary) and the publisher is there to try and ensure it is successful (and to a lesser extent they are they to ensure it doesnt turn into a rotten mess). No doubt EA are going about this the right way with ME. MGStudios haven proven themselves with the projects you mentioned. EA have to continue this across multiple projects for it is still early days.

  • asphaltcowboy #43 3 years ago

    Well aren't you just a sweetheart ;)

  • andywilkie35 #44 3 years ago

    I'm pleasantly suprised that Mirror's Edge is top - not as much as I would have been before I played the demo!

    Also suprised to see Killzone 2 up there after reading on a number of sites that it was dump. But thats good if its good, I really hope it is!

  • JHuxley #45 3 years ago

    @andywilkie35

    Which sites were those? Not doubting you, just interested to read more opinions on it.

  • Widge #46 3 years ago

    Me too. Most of the stuff, here, youtube, IGN etc has been pretty positive.

  • Spooke #47 3 years ago

    According to people in the beta, KZ2 is very impressive. And not just the graphics; it's actually fun to play too.

    I've played KZ2 up to level 8 and it's nothing but a generic shooter. There is only one decent level, the rest are boring and there is nothing in the game that's unique.

  • ademkermad #48 3 years ago

    Left 4 Dead should be above RE5. Gears 2 should be top IMO. Awesome multiplayer at the expo.

  • El_MUERkO #49 3 years ago

    Mirrors Edge 1st 8/

    would not have expected that

    anyway, i didnt get to fill out a form when i left :(

    did get stolen beer and nan bread thou :p

  • darc #50 3 years ago

    Mirror's Edge exactly where it belongs IMO. (Disclaimer: haven't actually played the thing...)

  • hiddenranbir #51 3 years ago

    You are all dead to me. :(

  • FaceOmeter #52 3 years ago

    Some really interesting stuff coming up! Nintendo totally phoned the expo in, which I'm sad about because I'm quite the Nintendo fan when the chips are down.

    Did anyone see Crash Commando, a little ps3 exclusive 2d platform arcade shooter tucked away on one screen in a corner? It looked absolutely amazing, I'm surprised there hasn't been a little more chat about it. Nothing breakthroughof course but really solid fun online potential (they need to make the right analog stick a bit less sensitive first though)

  • Testingpaul #53 3 years ago

    I had a feeling that Mirrors Edge might end up at the top. Didnt get to play it but it was a striking game to watch and very different from anything else there. Makes a change to see a first person game that isnt cluttered with how much ammo/life/grenades etc you have left plus a radar to see where the enemies are, a pointer to tell you where your next objective is and a incredibly large weapon (ooh-er) obscuring the best part of the screen. I voted it my favourite thing there even though I couldn't quite work out what the pretense of the game actually was so am looking forward to trying out the demo myself now that I have looke up what it is actually about.

  • timpig #54 3 years ago

    No Fable 2? Pffttt.

  • MrChuckles #55 3 years ago

    Fable 2 wasn't even at the show, so it can't really be voted for.

  • gman7714 #56 3 years ago

    Mmm interesting list. Thought Gears would of been higher up and surprised to see COD5 on it at all!

    Mirrors Edge just aint jumping out at me at all at the mo, will try the demo over the weekend.
    As for KZ2, it looks great. I enjoyed the 1st one probably more than Black. Kinda hope I can afford a PS3 when its released.

    I can get 1 game this month and cant decide between Fallout3, Gears2 or Left4Dead??? Help!?!

  • QPRHOOPS81 #57 3 years ago

    "Crash Commando,"

    Yeah that was great fun. I only went on it because it was not being used when i was passing by. Really fun little game. Also really enjoyed GTI club. Played bomb mode with the 3 other people i went with. Great fun and reminded me of how great the original was.

    Kill Zone looked amazing as did resi 5. Both those games blew me away. Really enjoyed Mirrors edge, even if i did see it completed 5 times before i got my go.

  • asphaltcowboy #58 3 years ago

    "Fable 2 wasn't even at the show, so it can't really be voted for."

    Actually was, but it was up at the Careers Fair and ignored as people swamped the Lionhead booth, trying to land a job. So fair enough :)

  • FooAtari #59 3 years ago

    Killzone was never a bad game

    True. It was awful.

    Quite surprised by the list, nice to see something new at the top. Admittedly most of the games don't interest me much, infact the only ones that do are the new IP's.

    Is no one fed up of CoD yet...

    @TheLittlestHobo
    "I loved Gears 1 SP, (MP never really floated my boat)"

    Opposite for me. Hated SP, dodgy checkpoints, difficulty spike, absolutely no fun for me. MP on the other hand, incredible fun. My main reason for my preorder is the new MP horde mode...

    @spooke
    You've played until level 8? You do realise that the beta is single player only right? So are you admitting illegally downloading a package from somewhere or that you work for GG?

    Anyways, from the beta I'd buy the full game for MP alone, its even taken over from battelfield for me...

  • darc #61 3 years ago

  • ilmaestro #62 3 years ago

    Another great example of an article that could have been on one page fewer.

  • DarthInsinuate #63 3 years ago

    Yay, Mirror's Edge.

    It was just a bit of a pain that the demo came out the day after the Expo though :/

    I was tempted to vote for Legendary for it's sheer awfulosity making me laugh like a loon.

    "Help! Help! I'm being attacked by a griffon! No, wait, I'm not."

  • bad09 #64 3 years ago

    Mirrors Edge is up there for me, LBP finally showed me it's charms and KZ2 REALLY surprised me.

    But for me personally the highlight of the expo was (as a SF nut!) playing more of SSF2HD it really looks lovely and I cannot wait! I was also relieved SF4 looks and plays a lot better than some of the preview videos I've seen!

    Biggest disappointment was RE5 (and the RE series in general), I couldn't even be bothered to play it, I liked RE4 a lot but this is not the next gen RE I wanted :(

  • #65 3 years ago

    Jeesh didnt expect Killzone 2 to come in 2nd and I def didnt expect Mirrors edge to be first. Then its nice to get a new IP so well done to DICE.

    Surprised Gears2 came 8th tho.

  • bad09 #66 3 years ago

    "Surprised Gears2 came 8th tho. "

    Gears came 8th for the very reason I didn't play it at the expo. We already know what we are getting and we know it will be sweet (multiplayer \o/) so the new stuff is far more interesting.

  • SilentScream #67 3 years ago

    @ timpig

    All the games in the vote are games that aren't out yet. Fable 2 is, so it'll be an unfair result as people have only sampled those games and may have completed Fable 2.

  • septimus #68 3 years ago

    Just played the demo of Mirrors Edge, so a bit late, but damn, it is really involving. Great game, or great potential anyway.

  • smoothn00dle #69 3 years ago

    Mirrors Edge number 1? I just don't buy it

  • Xerx3s #70 3 years ago

    "To be honest I'm pretty surprised by all this myself since I was expecting the worst after the first KZ. "

    Well, that. Guerilla have never done anything beyond average to this date, a very good game is rather unexpected.

    "Killzone was never a bad game it was unfairly labelled a Halo beater."

    It was a terrible game.

    So how come little big planet, a 9/10 game, got higher than some 10/10 games?
    I call shenanigans.

    Anywho, biggest game of the day was Gti club +...my brother and friend set up a lan game of bomb tag, that was the shit.

    Mirrors edge was ruined for me by having to watch people play through it 5 times excessively slowly and seriously why couldn't people make that jump with the pole?

    EDIT: just remembered, rayman tv party was a pretty good laugh

    why must they compare Killzone2 to cod4 ?

    COD4 single player did nothing new, but it did take the running animation and even the same exact button to run' L3' as Killzone1.
