Cool news about those games. I know my Nephew will be excited about the Indy Lego game, as loves the Lego Star Wars games.

Believe me, adults love them too. I have both of the Star Wars Legos games. They are a blast! And very funny.

From what I heard, they are coming out with a Lego Star Wars Game for the Wii which will combine the first two, with some extra levels. As well the wii remote can be used to swing the lightsaber.

I have always liked Indy games, and wished they had done more, maybe with the new movie, and this game, it will breathe some life into some more Indy games.

Hmm, never heard about those games.....time to do some research..

They do sound cool though.

OMG Mass Effect is going to rule my 360. I can't wait. I just started Bioshock, this game is getting lots of hype at the moment and is pretty cool but I don't think it is all that everyone is so fired up about. The Lego games are fun diversions and sometimes hysterically funny but too kiddie to hold my attention for long. Batman and Indy lego games I'll probably give a rent but I am done with anything Lego Star Wars. Oh and don't try Lego Star Wars DS...one of the buggiest, broken games ever commercially released.

I agree. Mass Effect will be huge. All the Bioware games have always been great and for what I've read and seen on the videos, the game is shaping up to be fantastic.

Tons of great sci fi and there's even a book out now. I plan on picking it up as soon as I can.

As for Lego Indy, well I can say I plan on playing it too. The Lego Star Wars games are mind blowing fun so this one should be good too. As long as they keep the humor in it, I'm game!

I just finished Bioshock with the "good" ending...gotta return it to Blockbuster before they convert my rental into a sale, heh. I'm someone that normally doesnt go for 1st person shooters, but this game definitely lives up to all the hype and the good word of mouth it is getting. I highly recommend it, even to you Lego freaks. It's the best game I've played on my 360 hands down. I don't think anything will come close until Mass Effect or GTA4.

I am playing Bioshock although this is a good game it is nowhere as good as fear is, and from what I am hearing on some games direct x 10 is not all that great and slows games down. I am playing it n dx 9. It is good but nowhere as good as fear.

Yes...I've heard alot about Bioshock. They say the underwater world is beautiful and creepy. I was considering buying the game, but $60 is hard for me to cough up for a game that "looks pretty". So I just rented it. I have it for a week...If I like it I may just buy it.
I also rented the Civil War game that the History Channel put out. It looks interesting...but I've never heard anything about it. Guess I'll find out if it stinks.

Let us know what you think Jen, If you havent played fear I would recommend that you try it, It is extreamly creepy. I think you would like it

Jobydrone · September 07, 2007, 03:38:27 PM

I heard the AI for the enemies in F.E.A.R. is the best ever done in a game. I am going to borrow this from my friend when he is done with it, can't wait to try it. I also heard the multiplayer portion is pretty weak.

My son has been enjoying Bioshock on the PC quite a bit. We built him that new PC early in the summer and it plays very well on it in DX 10. Gorgeous game!

You can say that again. So far DX10 is way overblown and is actually hampering performance. Kinda stinks since we heard it was going to be the next big thing...
