And the #1 Game to Save Your Money On Is... Tony Hawk Ride

beyond suckage

tho the 50 cent one is pretty fun gameplays tight tho its crass and very poorly written.

saint_john_paul_ii5214d ago

the 50 cent game isnt so bad. its actually pretty good and comical.

Redempteur5214d ago

i don't get this list ....

the reason he dislike bionic comando is beyond me ... this is a bad game period ... multiplayer is empty , solo player is no fun ...
the fact that it's a spiderman game wannabe is not important lol

artistadam5214d ago

this game shouldn't be on this list... i had a blast with it... one of the most underrated games of 2009, IMO...

rroded5214d ago

n pretty glad i did sp only took a few hours n the way they had the side missions set up was totally stupid jus took ya right out of the imersion imo

the online was pretty weak 2 tho building up your guys n taking them online was ok.

artistadam5214d ago

online did suck, only played it once... but, controlling rackets and using the black-hand to threaten owners was pretty cool... the gunplay worked, nothing special but, effective... hiring and maintaining your crew was pretty fun as well... there was a lot of things this game did well...

but, most people like yourself tend to focus on the minor problems like a crappy MP, or how easy it was to beat... it still had some depth and really, it's worth a rental or a cheap purchase... it wasn't just another sandbox city game like so many are... it implemented a newer wrinkle in the sandbox style of games with the don's view...

i don't know, i'm sure my opinion means nothing... i just thought this game was better than what most reviewers and gaming sites claim...

rroded5214d ago (Edited 5214d ago )

not saying it was all bad either but like i said the way they set up the side missions was terrible. Running around finding all those peeps with those stupid little markers over their heads zzzzzzzzz

the driving was pretty poor too n like you said its way short and online bites not a lot ta commend a game on really. But some people are easily satisfied eh. :)

edit if you like open world try saints row 2 that game way fun all round n a bit less glitchy too.

artistadam5214d ago

i played and liked saints row 2, and i am currently playing the saboteur, which is another good sandbox city game... but like i said, just because i liked godfather II doesn't mean others should too... i was just stating my case as to why i don't think it should be on that list...

there were far more games that sucked last year than the godfather II...

...gave 2 dislikes about one game saying it was boring and very short. I don't know about you but if a game is boring I'm happy that its short...the end.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
