Alrighty, I got a new job (finally) and I was trying to decide which games to buy.

Anyway, I was thinking about BlazBlue, TMNT: Turtles in Time remake on Xbox Live Arcade, Marvel vs Capcom 2 on Xbox Live Arcade (Nice savings there!), or possibly something else that would pique my interest.

I can typically have fun with most genres and I have a pretty worthy PC too.

What are you in the mood for?

I definitely recommend TMNT and MvC2 though. Shadow Complex is going to be awesome too, supposedly it's heavily inspired by Metroid/Castlevania games so that could be pretty epic.

To be honest, I'm in the mood for anything new.

I would suggest Batman: Arkham Asylum, but from what I hear they made the exclusive of getting to play the game as the Joker only available on the PS3. It's also not out yet.

I'm sure that a DLC Joker wouldn't be too out of the question in the future...

I mean hell, we got Darth Vader for SoulCalibur 4!

Wolverine Origins is pretty awesome, brutally awesome for an X-Men game I might add. It's what the movie should've been.

Ah, I totally forgot about Wolverine! I was going to buy that a while back but with budget constraints and all...

Looks like I'll pretty much be getting all of the above, I just don't know what to get first...

If you mean the Turtles in Time remake, I hear it's pretty lame. Looks pretty lame, too. Such a shame. Just porting the SNES version to Arcade would've done just fine.

I've been hearing that they more or less ported the arcade version with new graphics and you can attack diagonally.

Still a childhood favorite though, and $10 is a steal.

Get ready for tears then.

The music added the icing to the cake. I listened to the original OST a lot last night, since the new soundtrack totally blows. Silly Ubisoft. They just can't work Konami magic.

All my friends love it actually and I've gone through the game with tons of people. , it's an awesome XBLA game, but were you expecting it to top the original anyways? My only real gripe is that the music is pretty sucky, other than that it's worth the buy. I'd like to see beat em' ups return...

Lots of good future XBLA titles on the way though. Shadow Complex is probably going to be incredible, since they've come out and said the gameplay is heavily inspired by Metroid, Castlevania, etc. Serious Sam HD will kick some serious ass (heheheeh, but seriously have you guys seen comparison screenshots? talk about a facelift), and I'm eagerly awaiting the Perfect Dark port, which is also going to sport a sharper resolution and upgraded framerate.

I didn't hear anything about PD, that was my favorite game for the N64!

>10,000 Darksims killed with zero deaths and an accuracy of 100% on my old profile... I can't wait to get back into this!

My suggestions are Blazblue, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Devil May Cry 4.

If you like fighting games....then definitely pick up Blazblue.

It's NOT TMNT IV. Look at it that way.

TMNT III NES is still my favorite nonetheless.

Preach it, Shuyin. Those are 3 utterly great games.

EDIT: Said '4' instead of '3'. Derp.

I actually didn't care much for DMC 4 and I've actually been wanting to try out Ninja Gaiden 2. BlazBlue is already locked in for a definite purchase.

Oddly enough I never cared for the older DMC games, but enjoyed DMC4 quite a bit.

Anyways, I have to STRONGLY go against recommending NG2. As a HUGE fan of the original game, I gave up on the second one pretty quickly. The difficulty wasn't bothersome as I traversed through the original on Hard and nearly cleared the second tournament (the one that replaced nearly all enemies, holy shit that was godly hard), but the game just felt completely broken and incomplete. I don't remember having an issue with the camera in the first game, but it bothered the hell out of me in this one. I remember one of the first bosses in the game was constantly "behind" the camera in this small room, so you couldn't see him at all. The framerate sucked and the game is even known to freeze at many random parts. With that game you could tell Team Ninja's engine was at an end. Yeah it was fine in the DOA games, but it was just horrible.

Apparently in this day and age though, companies can "retry" to develop their game again, as they're doing so with Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma. It really boils my piss to look at the 360 version and think "Hey, thanks for this broken incomplete Xbox port!" because that's what it felt like.

Edit: Didn't see Shuyin recommend NG2. , sorry if I sounded angry. I was just extremely disappointed with it.


ie: Get Ninja Blade instead. Now that game runs great and makes you feel like a God. It was apparently developed by the same guys behind the Otogi series on the Xbox, which I sadly only got a taste of. Even worse is that I checked to see if those games were compatible with the 360 and they're not.
