    TBH there's not much point asking people to pick for you.

    Go to IGN or Gametrailers and look up some reviews.

    You can only decide yourself really.

    Personally I wouldn't care what someone tells me about a game.

    A good word about it will only lead to me checking out a few reviews, if it scores bad I wouldn't bother buying it whether or not I had planned to going by earlier trailers etc..(Mafia 2 and the upcoming Socom were two I was looking forward too but reviews killed for me)

    I got caught out enough times back in the day to learn to stop going by fancy boxes or games with a rep'.
    Last bad game I got stuck with was Call of Juaraz even after reading average reviews I still said I'd chance it.

    They won't hand you money from the till anyway.
    I've been given E1-E4 vouchers after making a purchase with credit, they don't want to be handing one penny out that they don't have too

    Exact reason I wouldn't take advice of other people. :D

    http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/homefront

    70/100 average..... there are plenty of other shooters you could pay E50 for that are above 80/100

    I believe you get Mass Effect 2 free with DA2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Well if I needed to get one from your list, I would go for moh.

    Multiplayer is pretty good, but has one awefull dreadfull problem - choose of equipment and guns. Ather then that its pretty solid shooter. You will learn one tactic which you will newer ever see in any online shooter so far - taking ****ing cover!

    I would suggest you to keep the vouchers untill may m8. Brink, l.a. Noire coming out. 2 titles which look pretty solid so far.

    I know it's hard to keep vouchers untouched. I had 300eu vouchers last month. I am down to 120eu and I got 3 games preordered too... I thought I will be able to dodge mortal combat, but it looks it's a must have game. :(

    I think the fact that MoH filled used games sections like no other game tells enough about it.

    It only scored average reviews based on the single player, if your getting it for multiplayer then there are far better shooters out there.

    What ya mean ''Metacritic really?'' that it's a bad indicator?

    It's not though, takes all reviews and gives an average score with easy access to any of them.

    No I haven't I wouldn't bother paying E50 for a game that's getting **** reviews.
    I have BC2 which is still miles better then most of the junk that's came out since.

    For anyone who wants Homefront it's currently on sale in Gamestop brand spanking new for €28.

    Says something for the sales of the game. I havent played it yet so I cant comment more!

    That went to **** storm damn fast.... So how much second hand copies are now? If i can get brand new one for less then 20 quid I would give it a shot...

    I haven't heard anything overwhelmingly positive from friends about Homefronts MP. Only that it's better than the (awful?) SP.

    The ones that were playing it for a bit have gone back to other games already.
