Orion

the combat is rather vanilla, once you get past the impressiveness of the counter mechanic and the beauty of the graphics. this is why review threads are so great, i loved it, but it obviously is not for everyone. try it for yourself and see. anyone who was interested in cod4, send me a pm, please.

pm sent.

if it helps, cod 4 for the computer is absolutely the best shooter i have ever played. shockingly short though. can get you a copy if youd like one.

anyone else catch this? ron might get lampooned by his detractors for this.

alright, there are essentially two stories throughout this game. they are both about the same thing and run parallel to each other, but in different time periods. in the not so distant future (2012, actually), a young man named desmond, played by you, has been confined against his will be a company named abstergo and is forced to undergo research into his mind. the lead researcher explains to you that insticnt is nothing more than genetic memory, and that all of anyones forebearers memories are locked inside of an individuals dna. this research is being done on desmond through a device known as "the animus", and essentially allows desmond to play back through the memories of one of his ancestors named "altair" who was an assassin whos life played out during the crusades, 1000 years prior. through a series of investigations and assassinations, altair (desmond) is drawn through a complex story of faith and knowledge in order to find what abstergo has placed so much importance in, the piece of eden. crusaders, templars, saracens, turks, the brotherhood of assassins, and even king richard the lionheart, all players in a story that encompasses Masyaf, Acre, Damascas, Jerusalem and the land in between, or The Kingdom. journey through the past, to discover the future. if i were to rate it, i think id have to give it 9.5 out of 10. absolutely beautiful graphics, a story that is enough to drive a conspiracy theorist wacko, a free running protagonist that makes spiderman look like a kid, and unique combat, that at least a dozen times has made me and my friends go, "OH SNAP!" the downside is that, like the man said, it CAN be a bit repetitive, and unless you are into the story, one pickpocketing feels very much like any other. the assassinations make up for it though, running through a crowd of people after just cutting down a merchat king while being chased by literally dozens of guards just isnt getting old for me. seriously, if you can, check it out. and if you are struggling, play at least until memory block 4. it starts getting very interesting about there.

just in time for winter, thats sucks. nice car jamie.

sorry man, i can get more than that from eb right now. (gotta love the EDGE card)

agreed. quality movie. id watch it again.

for xbox360 yeah, this game freakin rocks. i highly suggest you play this. just finished it up, now to start collecting things...

this has GOT to be a picture thread.

you, eli and i stopped posting in it.

use the money for a gift man. a man is nothing without love for his family, and while i understand its just a tv, the sacrifice that you make to give it shows love. the mustang will be there when you have more money.

or, maybe a gto strikes your fancy?

uh, wtf mates? i would play WOW if i could do that.

im not sure, but i imagine spelling has something to do with it.

i think i got it, ben. try this. enfield number 5 (jungle carbine) http://burnfan0.tripod.com/id22.html

part deux, foo!

get some, foo! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrPIRYhdnqs

ben, get some more pictures up. specifically of the barrel. the thing that struck me was that the barrel looks to extend out past the stock, kind of like the old m2 carbine. perhaps an enfield .303 battle rifle? http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/2457/enfield3034500ew.jpg dont know, want to see more pics.

i would rock one, fo sho if i could game on it. a computer is more a tool for entertainment for me than enlightenment.

yes, the femoral. initial word was that it was a gunshot wound to the groin. brutal.

observing a moment of silence here, mike.

anyone whos been to my crib round this time knows that we dont play around when it come to christmas. my favorite comment was, "damn, if santa showed up at this place, hed be like ""damn its christmassy in this place!"" no camera, so youll just have to come to my party.

carla, this is dj. turn back now, before this place eats your soul. do it!

look man, i would take mike hart on my football team anyday. hes a warrior, and hes got tons of heart, and he GETS IT. he knows what the rivalry means, and he takes it seriously. umfortunately, he plays for an inferior team, with (more importantly) an inferior coach. good luck to him in The League.
