Half Life gravity gun.

Portal portal gun.

Various shmups with 'black hole bombs'.

Wait no, any game that contains any gun with infininite ammo or recharging anything as long as you wait a little bit.

I love tracking down decade-old reviews on GameFAQs. Where else would I find this gem?
New games suck! These use polygons, which suck! 2-D sprites forever! Why can't these new crappy compainies make excellent 2-D games like SNK (The god of 2-D) and NEC can!? Anyone who is reading this review and owns either a PS2 or X-Box (Dreamcast is acceptable since it had good games. Gamecube is also acceptable since I see it's like their older games) should throw it on the ground, burn it, and buy a Neo Geo and Turbo Duo!

I like how he's acting informed but then claims NEC developed PC Engine games.

When valve inspires the mad scientists of the future to bend the rules of physics to make these, you are prohibited of playing with them cause you never "believed"

That's incredible.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

On the one hand Two Worlds II is only $5.

On the other, it looks very mediocre and I don't exactly need another RPG to play right now.

Metro 2033 or Tales of Vesperia? Suggestions welcome.

Also, is ToV in English? None of the screenshots seem to indicate that it is.

Metro 2033 is awesome, and about as good as something like Bioshock when it comes to modern atmospheric FPSs.

I'm leaning towards Metro and I enjoyed the first one, I have passed on Vesperia so many times though...

Maybe I'll dedicate a whole $10 to the purchase of both games. :shock:

You're better off playing the first Two Worlds game on PC.

Two Worlds II is one of the most hilariously redundant video game titles of all time. Right up there with Revengers of Vengeance and (my personal favorite) Divine Divinity.
