|  "Gamestop Manager's conference?"
, posted Mon 22 Sep 08:22
is anyone here a manager for that company? Just curious to swap notes with people who played some of the stuff there last weekend.
For anyone that doesn't know, each year they fly managers down to Dallas for a psuedo-E3 style event/corporate meetings.
I'll post some impressions of what I played here:
XIII-reminded me of goldeneye(which is a very good thing) with euro style, very cool soundtrack. The sound effects on the screen were a neat effect, not too distracting.
Warhammer 40k Fire Warrior-it was okay...looked nice for a PS2 game. Only 1 system hooked up, so I couldn't see what multiplayer was like.
Ninja Gaiden-Looked nice, played nice, but devoid of excitement IMO...all my friends were like "dude this game is the shit!" but all they were doing were running around and swinging the sword at air.
Sonic Heroes-Awesome. Best Sonic game in years. Reminds me of Sonic Adventure mixed with old school Sonic minus the crappy camera. The team aspect seems cool, but the two playable teams they had were kind of identical(I know that is intentional, however).
Terminator 3-Sucked shit. Ah-nold couldn't even save that stinker
True Crime-Not so much of a GTA ripoff that everyone is saying it is than a Max Payne ripoff, but was pretty cool. I didn't spend too much time on it because there were a lot of people waiting to try it.
Kill.Switch-Very cool. Didn't play too much, but what little I did I was impressed.
I-Ninja-A good time for platform games...this one was pretty sweet..I was kind of annoyed that I had to ask to try it, since I felt it deserved more space than say, Time Crisis 3.
Spawn-Less of a DMC ripoff than the PSM video led us to believe, it was okay...but Spawn is just too beat now.
Double Dragon-BUY THIS GAME...my favorite GBA game now.
Mario Kart Double Dong-Much faster than the e3 version...was very cool. They had 4 GCs Lan'd and it was a blast.
Fire Emblem-Finally.
Cabela's Extreme Hunting(with Xbox live support! YEEEEEEEEEEHAW...its funny, I was playing this as a joke and the project manager was like my new best friend because I was playing it)
Rainbro Six 3 for Sexbox-Very cool...all new levels and shite
Counterstrike Condition Zero(counter terrorists win!)-What can I say? I wasted almost 90 minutes playing this game and thought I was only playing for 5.
Maximo and the army of zin-can't wait for this one. Like the first one with more features. There are people to rescue who will give you items and hints when you rescue them. The levels seem to feel less on a path now(although they still are). There are guys who will sell you items(although a lot were expensive!) like armored boxers, etc.
Sims 2-I have to warn you, I hate the Sims...but this game really has me intrigued. There is whole new level as far as what the Sim people learn and retain.
Need for Speed Underground-Wow. The speed effects are insane. Control is good, and it even has a semblence of "realism" thrown in there.
N-Gage-Well, what do I have to say that others haven't? We got free systems, but I see myself using it more for a phone/mp3 player, since ALL the games sucked. Sonic was semi decent, but the system cannot maintain a decent frame rate to save it's life.
All in all, I had a kick ass time even though I was sick all weekend. I got my picture taken with Richard Kiel(Jaws from the Bond movies), met Lord British(Lineage 2 looks freaking amazing!), and got to see Colin Quinn do stand up.
At any rate, this is going to be a good 4th Quarter as far as games go.
I asked about the Hyper fighting ps2 thing from Capcom, they told me it had old art...whatever the hell that means is beyond me. Is it ST, HF, a collection, a new game using old art?
