Bethesda's playable demo of Hunted: The Demon's Forge at Gamescom was but a smaller slice of a hands-off demo I'd seen before. It starts with unwise molestation of a strange artifact—a cursed skull—that engages the player in a sprint through falling debris, a nasty encounter with some animated skeletons and a chance to play as both Caddoc and E'lara, the game's main characters.

"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
Totally agree, Alice the Madness Returns was good, and Split Second mentioned in the article was not bad as well
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.
New discounts for Bethesda games include Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition for Xbox 360 at $10.19, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition for as low as $11.58 and more.
Forbes: At the PAX East Composer’s Panel, an interesting question was posed to composer Kevin Riepl: aside from Aliens: Colonial Marines, had he ever poured so much time and work into a soundtrack only to have the game suck or go largely unnoticed? When a game does as poorly as Aliens: Colonial Maries did, critically, it’s very rare that people then attempt to hunt down the soundtrack. Likewise, when a game releases to a mediocre or lukewarm fanfare, the soundtrack rarely sees publication.
Meh. Might get this on PC or something if it's cheap. It doesn't look like anything too spectacular. I thought it was awesome when it was first announced but the more I hear about it, the less good it sounds. Plus, no local co-op? That's the only reason I'd get it on console. Stupid to leave that out, this seems like the perfect game for it. Oh well, hopefully War in the North will fill that role better.
Bethesda's rep is starting to go down the drain, hopefully Splash-Damage with Brink, and Obsidian Entertainment with
Fallout New Vegas, can get some of it back.
wow, was gonna get this game, now no local co-op means means no buy for me. cant play it with gf its useless. and they said they were trying to take a cue from RE5....obviously they lied
