Try God Hand, CrazyStarlight.


I've heard about that game from Capcom I presume? Is it a beat em up?


Yes and yes. You loved SoR2, you'll be impressed by God Hand.

Nice! It also seems to be the same guys as Platinum Games! Thanks. :)

Speaking of which I recommend Binary Domain. It's a mix between Terminator and Gears of War, but the game is miles better then those Terminator games.

Yeah, God Hand was the game that cost Shinji Mikami, Inaba Atsushi and Clover Team their jobs with Capcom. They were given free reign to produce a game, they came up with God Hand and it flopped. They were told their personal tastes were too 'hardcore' and told to reign it in and their teams were broken up and redistributed throughout Capcom. Rather than follow Capcom's orders, they quit and formed Platinum Games.
I had Binary Domian from Love Film and returned it. It's OK, I just don't have time for anything that doesn't grab me. My game time lately has been divided between Dark Souls and a bunch of 2D shooters. I've got Yakuza Dead Souls. I've been a fan of the Yakuza series, but I'm growing really tired of it. I'm beginning to not be able to see past their clunkiness. I thought Binary Domain was a bit clunky too, to be honest.

Ah I see, that's a shame really as that is what they are known for!

I have Okami and Viewtiuful Joe which are good games but I still need to complete them.

Fair enough, as it isn't for everyone, but I hear it plays smoother then Dead Souls (ironically comes out two weeks AFTER).

I have only played 3 so I don't know how the controls are, but from what I have played they seemed alright to me. I am not so good at fast reflexes anyhow. :)

I think Vanquish was a good game too, but the controls for that game are definitely more arcady then anything Binary Domain does.

May as well rate the Platinum/Clover games in order then to keep on topic.

1. Vanquish
2. Viewtuful Joe
2. Bayonetta
3. MadWorld
4. Okami

Yeah, Binary Domain's definitely a smoother game than Dead Souls. Dead Souls is already a year old, it came out in Japan last year. I'd always give a first party Sega game a fair go, it's Sega after all. That means something :0) It's just that things like Gears or RE5 do the 'over the shoulder' third person shooter thing much better.
I don't think the Yakuza engine really supports third person shooter gameplay and it's starting to show its age, a bit.

Clover/Platinum for me

1. Viewtiful Joe
2. Okami
3. Bayonetta
4. Vanquish
5. God Hand

Honourable mention PN:03

True and yeah, these days SEGA definitely deserve a rental at least these days.

Although I would agree that RE and Gears do it better, personally I hated Gears' slow run and cover method.

Yeah, although isn't the engine only as old as Yakuza 3 is? I am sure they could spruce it up a bit. Is Binary Domain using the same engine?

Top 5 SEGA games

1.Streets of Rage 2
2. Sonic 3 & Knuckles
3. Valkyria Chronicles
4. Binary Domain (so far)
5. House of the Dead (so far)

I can't possibly do it in order but:

- Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars. This game when it came out in like 96 had the best story of any game I've played and some really hard puzzles for my age back then.

- Age of Empires (series). The game franchise that's probably sucked the most playtime out of me over the years.

- Star Wars: Knight's of the Old Republic. Back when it came out, for a Star Wars nerd it was the best game ever. It had story, customizable powers, you could interact with the story and it actually affected your character.

- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, to me the best GTA that was ever made. The setting has that Miami Vice, Scarface 80's feel to it. There are plenty of missions to do all over the map even after you finish the main storyline. The tons and tons of missions in the early games are really something I miss in todays iterations on the GTA series.

- Assassin's Creed 1. I'm not much of a graphics whore normally, but the rush I got the first time i sync'ed from one of the Towers and saw how gorgeously made that city was it took my breath away.

I want to have more on my list dammit!

Douche Nukem Forever- in this politically correct gaming world we live in with it's poo faced seriousness this was a breath of fresh air.

Kane and Lynch2 as above that and I really like the aesthetics.



Yakuza it's Sega so of course it's gonna be cool apart form the ever worsening Sonic that is.Also it has one of the funniest and most memorable scene in a video game would you like breast milk with that :wink:

Vanquish , as above the protagonists smokes hows that for PC incorrect ? Some times it's good to be bad :wink:



Outrun (it's Sega remember) always puts a smile on your dial, Life ain't so bad when your palying this game :wink:
