Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

"Monday Night Combat" from LIVE Arcade

Here's a review from GamesRadar. I played the demo last night and I think it has a ton of potential.

Reminds me of old school Unreal Championship a bit, but it's a 3rd person shooter. Has a "Horde" like mode and 6v6 in tactical play where you have to destroy the other team's money ball. Earn cash to power up weapons and turrets like Counter Strike.

We don't really have "the ONE" game we all love to play together anymore so I just thought I'd throw it out there for something new and tactical in our game catalog that could be tons of fun.

I know that Reach will be fun, but I don't plan to play the MP heavily and I'm pretty sure there are a couple others out there that share that opinion sooooooooo...."Monday Night Combat" could be a good thing.

  2. I was actually thinking the new Tomb Raider would be good. Not multi like this, but coop.

  3. Yeah, I would look into the new Tomb Raider with you for sure.

    Interesting note I read about that game though is that it's actually not finished, but they're releasing it anyways cause of M$'s big SUMMER OF LIVE campaign they have every year. Word is that a full month after release they're updating it to make it what it should have been at launch.

    I'd def still get it if you wanted to though.
