Which game? :D

[Joe_The_Plumber]

Simple question, which game should i get for my xbox?

Mirrors Edge, Skate 2, or Dead Space

Mirrors Edge - played the demo and loved it, but the reviews are all mixed. Some say its the best game out there, others say its repetitive and a bit glitchy and not worth the money. personally if its a little repetitive im fine with it but the glitches with disarming those SWAT guys might annoy me.

Skate 2 - played the first one a lot but never beat it (i got half way through, maybe a little less) because it was so hard. I really liked it but it got kinda old. Again, i played the demo and thought it was great, especially because of the new feel to it. but... i never saw the ending to the first one and i dont wanna buy the game and not be able to beat it

Dead Space - this is the game i am looking to get atm. It's normally not my type of game but something about it really intrigues me. Got the demo but didnt really like it because everytime i thought i killed an enemy he would just crawl behind me and jump on me. ironically games scare me so much more than movies, but this one Im definitely willing to buy. this would be the first horror game i buy too... lol


i wanted to rent mirrors edge, but of course EA isnt sending any games to them now so Im kinda forced to buy it. state your opinions on each or one of them, and its obviously better if you have them or have played them yourself

Mirrors Edge: I wouldn't buy it. The game is criminally short and just not that good of a game.

Skate 2: Haven't played a skateboard game since the original Tony Hawk...so I have no idea how good it is. If you like skateboarding games then buy it.

Dead Space: Appears to be the best of the three and probably the best survival horror of 2008...which wasn't that hard to be. The issue with Dead Space is after a while, its just not scary anymore.


I guess I would recommend Dead Space...but not by much. Personally I would wait for RE5 to come out.

I absolutely loved Skate, I tried the demo for Skate 2... Honestly I just didn't think it felt as good as Skate but... it's hard to judge a game on 6 minutes of game-time, I'm going to give it a try.

I guarantee you will get a lot more time out of and have more fun with Skate II than any of those 3.

Whatever you do, do NOT get Mirror's Edge, it did not live up to all the hype.

I'd advise you to buy depending on which genre of game you think you'd prefer. If you like skating games, get Skate 2. A friend of mine has it and it looks pretty decent. If you loved the demo of Mirrors edge then i'd advise you to get that. Sure there are mixed reviews but in the end its your opinion that counts. As for dead space, if you don't like the demo then it might not be the best choice buying it. Demo's should give you a general taste of the gameplay so if you didn't like it, don't bother. As for how it intigues you, just ask yourself; is that enough to want to make you play the full thing.

It depends on your tastes really.

If you enjoy a new kind of experience playing a videogame, RENT or BUY Mirrors Edge. If you are into survival horror shooters, BUY BUY BUY DEAD SPACE. ITS A HORROR MASTERPIECE. (I think I went to far there....^_^; If you enjoyed Skate, and like videogames that are like Skate and Skate 2, especially extreme sport games, get Skate 2.

If your asking my own opinion, I'd rent Mirrors Edge and maybe buy Skate 2.

But seriously....BUY DEAD SPACE. It's good, THE CRAP YOUR PANTS WHEN PLAYING WITH LIGHTS OFF ON YOUR BUDDIES HDTV AT HIS HOUSE KIND OF GOOD.

Dead Space ftw

P.S: Of course, Dead Space is going to have some competition when Resident Evil 5 comes out. ;]

Skate 2: Not sure.

Mirrors Edge: It was a fantastic game, it was short though. I enjoyed almost every moment of it, there were a couple places that just didn't make sense to me...but maybe that was just me. I don't regret buying it, but renting it would make sense due to it's length. If you enjoy adrenaline rushes, this one is for you.

Dead Space: Also fantastic, and scary. I enjoyed the story and the actual game play...not much replay value imo, but it was long enough that you don't really need to play it over. If you like scary games, this one is for you.

thats the thing, i wanted to rent mirrors edge and buy dead space or skate 2. problem is i go to blockbuster and the lady says EA isnt sending blockbuster any of their mirrors edge copies (maybe its just that one, or the ones in maryland idk ) so Im kinda forced to buy it because i really want to play it

right now Im thinking Dead Space

i need something different.. and Ive never played RE games so i dont know if i should wait for that. that looks a bit scarier than dead space though haha
