About
"Once you realise what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense."

SumRandomGeezer, Slightly off kilter englishman with penchant for biscuits and 21st century, black country colloquialisms, dow worry if ya cor understand what i write, jus take care in the fact that we founded the language and we can also destroy it as well.

Gaming since i were a wee lad, MasterComputer, Megadrive (Genesis to my american cousins) and Playstation 1 hold special places in the hole where my heart should be...might have to get that sorted...

Current console of choice is the 360, altho i do have a PS3 and would enjoy a high end PC if i were paid half as much as mentally stunted footballers (soccer players...again for you yankee doo dah's)

Love to see cynical, stubborn or jus downright stupid comments on the forums and hell if i aint contributed to a few myself.

[size=12]So tomorrow i have decided to go up to my local game/gamestaion and trade in a bunch of games for Homefront, from what i've seen and heard from multiple people (not reviewers) the game is good and despite its short campaign length has a dam good story and a decent multiplayer to boot....

Now my quandry is this, if i do go out to said store and purchase said game, what do i then do about the imminant arrival of Crysis 2, you see, i want it....i want to play its single player nearly as much as i want to spread honey over jessica biel and tell her to call me raymond, problem is i have played the multiplayer demo...both of them, and i was not a fan. Thing is however i haven't played Homefronts multiplayer, and so therefore im only basing my 'decent multiplayer' comment on other peoples word, and that hardly ever goes right.....

My conundrum is do i take a chance on Homefront, or do i wait a bit and get Crysis, only one can win.......Sharonnnnnnn![/size]

Well it really depends on whats more important to you, multiplayer or story? That's always a hard decision for me to make to cause I am addicted to the competition factor in first-person shooter multiplayer games. I would say go with Crysis from what I have played, on the online side of it at least, its a really fun game. Homefront may have a good story, but are you really willing to spend money on a 4 hour campaign? I wouldn't drop 60 buck on that bullshit.
Rent them, people seem to forget this option. Rent them and see which is which for you. If renting is not an option, look up videos and such. Hold onto that a bit and wait to see what the reviews say for Crysis 2.
If I were you though, I wouldn't get either. Then again though, that's just me.
I went to work yesterday expecting a slow day because of March Madness and it mostly was that. That didn't stop me from getting multiple returns/trade-ins on Homefront in the first hour we opened.

The reasons? Campaign was too short and not enough multiplayer modes. Apparently the game has seen a great number of returns and trade-ins at Gamestop - to the point they're not oeven marking it down to the usual $54.99 new-ish games get, but $47.99.

Expect to see this drop to $39.99 or lower at retail price by next month or the month after. This game seems to be the largest disappointment of the year this far. Well, besides DA2, anyway, but that's disappointing for being painfully average for a Bioware game, it seems.
Don't buy Homefront!!!

They patched the game, and the patch seemed to work.... but now it doesn't. The game itself is solid, but the party system does not work (so you can't play with friends) and right now it's really hard to get into an actual game without sitting in endless lobbies waiting for X number of people needed to join to launch a game.

Until they issue a working patch I would say save your money. The online portion of the game is simply not worth it until they get the matchmaking system working.
well i thank you all for the comments, seems i may very well be waiting a while before i go ahead and decide, looks as though there are alot of varying opinions on both titles, which is good as i like a bit of competition...

see if Deus Ex was out when it was supposed to be, i'd be all over that like a druggie in weed farm, so so gutting
