People should help me decide how to blow my video games budget
I got 80 bucks to work with. 20 of it + some XBL points I have are going towards Monday Night Combat and renewing my gold account
the remaining 60 is going to either:
-Alpha Protocol
-Crackdown 2
-No More Heroes 2, Lego Rockband, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, and I dunno probably just use the last 10 on either an XBLA game or some Rock Band songs
-60 dollars worth of some other awesome game or games that people might suggest to me right now
I'm leaning toward Alpha Protocol. I really like Mass Effect, and I have been wanting someone to make a secret agent RPG for years. The only thing that's making me iffy is people saying that the gameplay is kinda crappy. I want to say that a really good story (which I hear it has) will cancel that out for me, but I don't know just how crappy we're talking.
I didn't play the first Crackdown, but people talk it up a lot and fucking shit up with superpowers does sound like fun. My only concern is that I tend to lose interest in sandbox games relatively quickly.
I liked NMH1 a lot and wanna play 2. I'd really like Everything She Does Is Magic and The Final Countdown for RB. I never played any Prince of Persia game. Individually I'd take the other two over any one of these, but the ability to get multiple games with my money instead of just one is appealing.
I could have given a more obvious hint but I didn't wanna totally give it a way!
okay after bashing my head against this again I need a more obvious hint
my IQ is dropping just playing this
Put the one easy to get box on top of the elevator, then jump from the elevator to the left (I think you already did that part)
Far to the left theres a grav lift, when you turn it off a box falls onto a slope and starts sliding toward you. Let it slide so that it gets some speed, then toggle the switch on and off so that it flies through the air and over the barrier where you can get it. You can then push it to the far right, and when you activate the flip switch on the far side you can go back and grab the box.

The gravity switch will not alter the box's horizontal motion. That will only happen when it rises up and smacks into the ceiling. So if you can keep that from happening...
It's actually a little finicky even once you have the solution.

Yeah. There is just so much going on in that puzzle.
I think I may play this again RIGHT NOW because it really is just so great.

I stopped cause I got annoyed at it.
Spending 30 seconds to make a silly hinge rock back of forth and then dying because I got tired of rocking it back and forth only to fall to my doom because I didn't rock it far enough is an exercise in frustration.
I find every time I get stuck it's because I can move something that I didn't think I could.

I only remember one or two puzzles being finicky like that

I mean it's not a bad game. But at times it really doesn't feel that you are making any progress so you stop and try something else, only to find out what your first idea was correct and you just wasted your time.
That and every other game you play now days uses colour coding to communicate, I mean nowdays when you see a red barrel in a game you know that motherfucking can explode. I realise that the Black & White setting here doesn't really translate that over, but as someone who relies on that layer to understand the game it's constantly frustrating.

I really liked this aspect, because very early on I realized that going with your gut usually worked. Someone earlier mentioned that the game relies on a sort of intuitive understanding of physics rather than game logic, and I think they're right. I love that it's rarely overtly "video gamey" with color coded barrels and things. You just have to try not to think about what you'd do in a regular sidescrolling puzzler.
Granted, I'm not as far in as some of the puzzles you guys are talking about on this page. This might change.
No, that pretty much persists throughout. I mean, being able to drastically alter one aspect of those rules factors into the last batch of puzzles, but ultimately it's still leaning on physical rules that you can figure out with intuition rather than video game logic. That was my favourite aspect of the puzzle solving too.
For a man who has few monies, should I get this game? The trailer looks neat and I do enjoy a side scrollin puzzler here and there. I also think Portal was one of the best purchases I ever made so I dont mind it being short if its fantastic enough.
the end comes so suddenly that I wasn't really able to appreciate what was happening
The same thing happened to me, though when I checked the Leaderboards it says that I've only seen 80% of the game. I don't feel like I saw the real ending since it was so uneventful. Not sure whether I took a wrong turn or not. At least I got a creepy XBL avatar pet as a reward.

The trick here is figuring out exactly what both switches do.

If you don't have it I am going to tell you to get Red Dead Redemption or maybe Alan Wake
Not Crackdown 2 or Alpha Protocol
way to make this decision more difficult dammit
http://www.audioentropy.com/
but again I tend to burn out fast on sandboxes
I got maybe a third of the way through GTAIV
http://www.audioentropy.com/
like 72% of the way in I think
I'll stare at it for 45 minutes and then figure it out, I'm sure
Is it the one near that elevator?
Here's a hint if you want it:

I swear to god this game makes me feel like a retard
http://www.audioentropy.com/
I would just like you to know that I am insanely jealous of each and every one of you
Alpha Protocol is good
just keep in mind that it's not similar to Mass Effect at all
it looks like a shooter, smells like a shooter, but it is most definitely an RPG

Now I'm teetering between either RDR or buying a bunch of old/discount/Live Arcade games

how is the full game?
I dunno how far the demo goes but if you didn't like the first few areas your probably won't like the rest of it
the puzzles do start to get pretty complicated towards the end though

Is this fantastic enough?
