The only reviews for Red Dead Redemption I've seen so far is this one and Game Informer's. So I guess it's only received a 9.72 and a 9 (unless there are other reviews I haven't seen). Also, glad to see Cave Story getting a good score. That game deserves a lot of attention - It's really good.

The_Count5104d ago

I am counting the days until I get my hands on Red Dead Redemprion

Valay5104d ago

Whoops. Just realized I said 9.72. Meant 9.75.

Trey_4_life5103d ago

With the red dead review even though i have no right to be due to me not yet playing. Pre-ordered this bad boy a month ago and can't wait to get my greasy mitts on it.

mjolliffe5104d ago

I couldn't be more hyped for Red Dead :D

divideby05104d ago

RDR is gonna be a MP fun fest...this game reaks of Value...
AW is now a confirmed rental for me, it was a must buy...another game which just shows that any game in development for so long just does not turn out like we all expect..this follows so many other games which have been in extended development
and again,, what the heck was MS thinking releasing AW so close or on with RDR...stupid...if it were released last month it would def. sold better

giovonni5104d ago

sold better? Its not even out yet to even judge. Look I've been through the Hype train before. A lot of these so called games that get nine and 10s really don't deserve it. You guys recall a game by the name of Grand Theft Auto Four, how about Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy?
What I'm trying to say is when it comes to reviews I don't trust a motherf%^&er. Its cool to be excited about a game, but lets not get carried away with all this predicting stuff

Myze5103d ago

Super Mario Galaxy deserved all the scores it got. GTA4, definitely did not, and Halo 3, is a little on the iffy side (definitely not a 10, but maybe 9 for multiplayer).

I do agree that reviews aren't a great way to determine interest in a game. There are exceptions, of course. I would never buy a game that got average scores below 50%. Although, that being said, I've never been interested in a game 60-50% or lower before, anyway. Any game that gets all 90-100% I will at least look into, even if it's hyped all to hell, just because I would want to make up my own mind of if the game deserved it or not. It's when games are in the 75-85% range that I only bother when I had interest in the first place. Can't go around buying every game that's released.

On topic here, I do agree it's kind of silly to talk about sales for two games that have yet to release any sales data or even be released. Although, even four to five months from now, if I have played and enjoyed AW more than RDR (or vice versa), I still won't care about which one sold more. I expect both games to be good, with RDR having more replay value (obviously, having multiplayer).

GiantEnemyCrab5103d ago

Like we all expect?

You obviously let the internet decide what games you buy.

I just got AW and it's great and it is meeting my expectations just fine. The game has gotten plenty of 9's and even a couple 10's but you latch on to the "low" scores and even then when was an 8 not a good score?

No doubt I'm looking forward to RDR as well but you make it sound like AW is some let down when it is not.

skynidas5104d ago

Nice score for Red Dead Redemption. I wonder when the websites will post their online reviews.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran812d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto11d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia12d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger12d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie12d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos12d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie12d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh11d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming16d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long16d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming16d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10116d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor16d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6916d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming16d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno16d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming16d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast31d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg31d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai30d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
