Random Gaming Thoughts

[Ack]

As I get closer to completing a collection, I typically look back through a list of all available games to see if there are any I should add to my "want" list. I am about to finish up my PS3 collection, but I am considering each of the following games:

50 Cent Blood on the Sand
Aliens Colonial Marines
Bodycount
COD World at War
COD Advanced Warfare
Civilization Revolution
Damnation
Fracture
Inversion
Jimmie Johnson's Anything With a Motor
J-Stars Victory VS+
Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust
Naughty Bear Gold Edition
NeverDead
Splinter Cell Blacklist
Splinter Cell Double Agent

Should I add any of them? Please talk me into or out of getting these games. Thanks!

Prfsnl, do you like First Person Shooters?

i kinda wanna play that 50 Cent game; heard it was ridic

I collect bad/ridiculous games, and that is why I am thinking of adding it to my collection. (I bought Ride to Hell Retribution last weekend!) That is also why Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine and Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust appear on the list. (Box Office Bust might be too much, however...)

Prfsnl, do you like First Person Shooters?

They're not my favorite genre, but I don't have anything against them. I do, however, prefer games with quality single-player campaigns, and I also prefer games with creative/interesting settings or premises.

.....

I would still love to read some thoughts on these! Has anyone played them? What do you think of them? (I love great games, good games, and terrible games, but I have no tolerance for mediocrity!)

The reason I ask is because the first game from The Darkness series was 360 and PS3 only, based on The Darkness comic book. I thought the first game was ok, and I own the supposedly superior sequel but have yet to play it(The Darkness II is also available on PC). If nothing else, it was an interesting idea and a fun little romp:

I have both of those already. They are exactly the sort of FPS games I am looking for.

[Ack]

Ah, oh well, sorry I couldn't be more help. I can't say anything about the rest of your list, as I don't have experience with them.

IMO, The Darkness is better than The Darkness II. I loved the first one and thought the second was good. The gameplay was so fun and I absolutely adored the atmosphere. The first one should appeal to prfsnl_gmr as it is made by the fellows that made the excellent The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, Starbreeze Studios.

No worries. There are some pretty big flops on there. (I mean, really, did anyone in the entire world play Bodycount, Damnation, Fracture, or Inversion?)

I <heart> Starbreeze.

Question for you collectors*

Let's say you're collecting for a certain console and you have whatever, $100 to spend. Do you prefer (find it more fun or rewarding) to:

A) Buy like twenty $5 games?
B) Buy a couple of pricier $50 games?
C) Buy one of the big-hitter $100 games?

*Hint: There's no wrong answer, but I am interested in the various schools of thought on this.

I always choose option A.
