Denny Markovic: "So the mighty year of 2009 is almost gone now, and we've lost count as to how many quality titles have been released this year. From frenetic shooters to crazy action games, 2009 has been a year where no genre has been left without a high quality title.
What really kicked into high gear this year however was the downloadable side of things. There have been loads of great releases at budget prices on all Services, ranging from the PlayStation Network to Steam, and we're here to give you our recommendations for the best downloadable games out there. So sit back, have a cold drink and read on as we give you our picks for the highest quality downloadable games."
Cultured Vultures: We’ve taken into account every monkey, every eye patch and every undead pirate, so without further ado, here are the Monkey Island games across the franchise’s history ranked from worst to best.
Enthusiastic developers told us about new Zeds, new mods, new engine, new everything, but showed us very little of the actual game. Our short Gamescom meeting gave us perspective on the upcoming title through many interesting, but very hesitant answers from the developers.
Graphically it looks quite nice. And I believe this is the first time they're using a new engine rather than a previous one.
Gunplay always felt really good with the KF games. My only complaint with this game and similar ones like L4D is that they become too predictable after a bit, so it gets quite boring. If the game doesn't have AI learning then at least give the enemies more methods of attacking players.
VS mode didn't work in KF2 because the game and enemies weren't designed for it from the start, that's what happens when it's tacked on and also takes place in an arena, it just becomes a camping game. Game mode wise I would prefer regular survival mode and one or two others, like a coop campaign and something else, but if they add VS it's gotta be done right from the beginning.
