Well I just got back from the Club Cube on Hollywood and Highland, and was able to get my hands on some games i've been dying to play. for those not familiar check out Link Removed
If anyone cares here's some of my thoughts on some of the content I came across: :b
Metroid Prime-They had one playable level (I'm told this was the e3 demo, but its still new to me). Tons of fun, my favorite game in building. With that one level I played the gameplay seems solid enough and the graphics are great. If I have any minor gripes about the demo its in the "scanning" function. You have to change into scanning mode and scan certain icons (and wait until it completes) in order to operate certain things like elevators or to de/activate sentry guns. Takes a lot longer than it should and could prove to be annoying if you have to use it in later levels as much as in this one.
Zelda-While Im still not crazy about the look of the game, it has everything you'd expect from a zelda game. Controls were similar enough to the N64 versions, and its really great to be able to pickup enemy weapons. Aside from the cell shading the game doesnt feel too different from the N64 ones, but that isnt a bad thing since those games IMO were great.
Jedi Knights 2: Jedi Outcast-I never played the PC version so I cant compare the two. The single player was solid, good graphics and controls, but I spent most of my playtime in the jedi duel mode. The lightsaber battles are a blast.
James Bond Nightfire-Kind of bleh if you ask me. Everything in it seemed same ol same ol, didnt really do anything exciting. I was looking forward to playing this title, but it wasnt my cup of tea.
Among the other games available for play were Tony Hawk 4, Medal of Honor, and Godzilla.
Well its late so I'm off to bed now. So did any other HTFers go?
