Any of you ever play Too Human on 360? I'm looking for online co-op games i actually havent played and this popped up in a search.

Any suggestions of unpopular or old games that are good would be awesome as well.
I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Jeez, I need to game a bit more, I'm blanking on at least a third of those characters. Sweet drawing though.

From left to right, of those I recognize.

I think it's the Ico kid, never played the game.

Some chick.

Maybe the guy from Silent Hill or Alone in the Dark..

Don't know if the ballon is supposed to be a character... Bloons?

The Illusive Man (Mass Effect 2)

The pictures: Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright (I think that's his name). Both of them are DS games.

Halo guy

Commander Sheppard

The woman looks like either Alex from Half Life 2 or That chick from Beyond Good and Evil

The big headed kid is the protagonist from Psychonaughts.

Can't tell what's in the Portals.

The Machine is GlaDOS.

Lara Croft.

Guy in shadows is Andrew Ryan from Bioshock

Nathan Drake from Uncharted.

Not sure who the kid with the tie or the woman in the shirt is.

Assassins Creed guy

Guy in picture is the Cosmic King guy from the Katamari Damacy games (I really want to play them)

Cowboy could be Red Dead Redemption guy or maybe one of the brothers from Call of Juarez.

Don't know who the chick is.

Small guy could be the bully from Rockstars game.

Soap Mactavish from COD MW 1+2.

Two longhaired guys in armor, not sure. Maybe Oblivion or Witcher.

Kratos.

Tommy Vercetti and Nico Belich(sp?) from GTA3: Vice City and GTA4 I believe.

Not sure about the last two, all though I recognize them.

Well, played about 4hrs straight of Half Life 2 last night (finally).

My freakin god that is a fun game.

Ravenholme is a very, very scary level to play with the lights out.

What I always loved about the Half-life games was the feel of the weapons and the impact they made when you hit an enemy. The opening stages taking down the combine with your pistol was awesome. The thing is as accurate as a sniper riffle.

Also, if you haven't played Katamari Damacy, you have done yourself a disservice.... it's weird and odd and .... awesome.

I have Katamari on my cell phone. It's awesome even in shrunken format.

I'll figure out a way to play it on a computer or console soon.

They're not so much sequels as short continuations of the story that ended in HL2.

I have chosen not to play the episodes before Valve gets around to finishing Episode 3. If ever.

As far as I have heard the second episode comes with a HUGE cliffhanger, so I wont play the episodes before I know that I can get closure.

Since it seemed to flumox people, the girl on the far right is Jade from Beyond Good and Evil. It falls in to the psychonauts category of 'far more people should have played it than actually did.'

Anyway, I'm nerdier than you :)

Oh, and y'all missed HK-47 from KoTOR lurking next to the Assasins's Creed guy..

I thought the greenlipped one was Jade from Beyond Good and Evil.
The guy with his hand on her shoulder looks a lot like the main character from Trigun.

Canis Canem Edit (Dog Eat Dog in Latin) = Bully. For some reason 'Bully' as a title was considered too offensive here (and perhaps elsewhere).

Had another 4hr HL2 session last night. My god, I just can't stop once I get going in that game.

I do wish they'd shortened the vehicle scenes a bit. The fan-boat level is especially irritating at some points because the left analog sensitivity is so fucking high on the PS3 controller for that game. Just the slightest movement and the car/boat goes way off course. It takes a very light touch to be able to steer the thing at all. Would much rather I could control it with WASD instead.

Other than that it's hella fun. The car level (although long) is well peppered with action scenes and I just got the GUIDED ROCKET LAUNCHER HOLY FUCKING FUCK WHAT A COOL GUN.

Blasting choppers out of the skies has become my favourite thing to do of late.

@Apt,

Agreed about the guns and their effects on mobs. My favourite are the explosive weapons like flammable barrels, grenades, etc... The physics are super entertaining to watch. Like when you whip out the gravity gun and huck a flammable barrel into a group of combine...and they all go ragdollish, flying out from the blast center.

The best weapon in the game, bar none, was in ravenholme when there are 12" saw blades lying all over everything. Saw blade + gravity gun = best gun ever in any video game I have ever played. It just never gets old, lining up 3 or 4 zombies and ploughing a saw blade through their faces simultaneously. Glorious.

My only regret is that I couldn't find one to bring with me when I escaped ravenholme.

Last two are Auron from FFX and Jade from Beyond Good And Evil, and the far left is the worst picture of Wander from Shadow of the Colossus I've ever seen.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Yes, I loved this game. Loved it.

You can probably find it for $10 or so, definitely worth it imo. It didn't get good review scores (6.5ish) but they were all dumb. There were problems with the camera, and game length, and graphics weren't superb, but a good game. So much weapon/armor variety and I liked how the thumbsticks were used to control the weapons. I'd suggest you try the XBL demo, if you like that, you will like the game.

Somewhere, I posted a bigger review on my likes/dislikes about the game, but not sure where anymore.
