Geezer from Nintendo Life plays Ghosts with the Wiimote 'n' nunchuck, swears blind it's aces.



May have to try this out, the first person controls in Metroid Prime were top, and I fancy a new FPS.

Though I could just save myself the ~$100 NZ and play BlOps II again with the remote.

Ah poo. Oh well, that's some extra money for other gubbins. Perhaps Mario 3D World.

Shame, really. I only dabbled in MP for BlOps II but had fun. I enjoyed the single player, too. I know it's not cool to like CoD around here, but I did rather enjoy the series, in a "sometimes you don't want filet mignon, sometimes you want a Mc Burger" kind a way. (Though I skipped World at War completely. The demo was just awful; gung-ho America Vs Germany twonk. You can get away with that in fictional story lines, but when using events that actually happened it always makes me feel uncomfortable.)

I was entertained. I've decided I'm going to replay CoD 1 to see if it's still awesome. My teenage self loved it.

Don't go back, it's rubbish. I got it free with some other PS3 game and I couldn't be bothered to finish it. The animations are hilarious, though.

To follow up 4 with that twaddle and then never recover form seems to be the way of things.

It did seem like a bizarre choice. Switching from Second World War to modern conflicts elevated the series from competent also-ran to world conquering behemoth. Why go back again? In Treyarch's defence, I'd wager they'd started development before CoD4 was released.

MW2 was my fav, loved the spec ops in that. The original two CoD's were pretty good but still not as good as MoH: Allied Assault, that was the peak of WWII FPS for me.

Those two along with Doom, Goldeneye and Halo:CE are probably my top 5 FPS.

This fucking disgusts me, and I never see any cunt saying a thing about it or anyone stepping in and actually preventing this kind of shit. It makes me sad. It's a fucking joke. A poisonous joke...

I assume so. What really peeves me is this has been happening since Modern Warfare seven years ago, and the developers stand by and do nothing. It honestly makes me sick. In a game where competition is fierce, in one of the biggest videogame franchises in history, your name on a leaderboard means nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's disgusting. It's even more comical as they're really gunning for the whole 'esports' thing at the moment. What kind of chance do they have to make it a legitimate competition when you've got this kind of nonsense?

No Russian was well good mate.

Films and books have done that kind of thing many times before, so why is it "insensitive" in a videogame? It was intelligently done and served real purpose within the story.

Agreed. The game was always going to get an 18 rating, so if you're not comfortable with it then you shouldn't buy it in the first place. It's like offering an option to skip the ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs, or that scene in Audition - ridiculous concept.

Or replace the civilians with zombies. Worked for carmegeddon.

I tried for a good hour to break that level. Shooting the bad guys, dropping a grenade at their feet, trying it from cover, everything resulted in your death and a restart. I wasn't expecting anything else to be honest, but it was amusing constantly getting mown down by these scripted invulnerable automatons.

Rift it.

I tried playing mw3 on the rift, it was awful, the whole packaging of the experience is so anti-rift it's unreal (theres a pun there)

Probs why hl2 is still so surprising on the rift, its like it was designed specifically for the rift, years ahead of time. More games like that plx

Is it not possible to use the 360 disc to authenticate a download on the One?
