got a coupon with my gtx470 for one of the games listed there. Which would you all recomend?

thus far streetfighter is basically sf2 revamped, darkvoid has gotten bad reviews and most of the reviews for resident evil 5 hav ebeen god. So that would be the game to get right?

one problem it has "co-op" listed as a feature. This will typiclaly send me running for the hills. As from my experience unless you're actually playing in co-op it's going to be horribly difficult to where it's beyond annoying. Being that I hate most people actually playing in co-op is not going to happen.

so what do you think? which one?

Dark Void runs like ass on you salami sandwich

RE 5 = fun on PC

SF 4 better played on console kicking your buddies asses in person

Dark Void just (a)void it like the plague

I vote for RE5, but you are right about the co-op. It's better with 2 people and the AI is mildly retarded(though not as bad as some).

You either love SF or you don't. You sound like you don't, otherwise we wouldn't have this thread.

I played Dark Void on 360. It's just bad.

You every tried running and shooting in real life and hit your target, thought not :shadedshu

But back on subject Res 5 its lots of fun, story is bad compared to the others but just enjoy the action for what it is. Plus its free !

thanks to all it looks pretty uninimous so I think that's what i'll go with. the runnign and shooting thing would eb annoying but alas meow9000's right, quite hard to do it with anything other than a hand gun and even then it's inaccurate.

SFIV is not SFII revamped lol, its very different. Dark Void is an AVOID title. Resi 5 is awesome, but not scary like the old skool Resi titles. Co-Op in Resi 5 is good, but you dont HAVE to use it to complete the game :rockout:

I think it's pretty shocking that none of those games are 1st person games. They could have at least given you an adventure game too, even if its point and click. Offering you a choice between 4 3rd person games.. or 3 games of any one style, isn't really a choice at all.

SF: dont like those ring fighting games
Dark void: low score reviews so not worth my time

re 5 is horible without CO OP..... the AI bot absolutly fails sometimes... often losing the game for u.. HAHA U LOST THE GAME .... -.-
another thing with RE5 is the camera angle... it makes a lot of people feel sick or get headaches.. just somthing to be aware of. (tertiusaliosis is what you get from this game :p) according to a sig.

i havnt played the other 2 so really i cant offer any help with those.


RE has sucked ass since it went FPS :(

If you want to press 10 buttons within one second, SF4 is for you. Dont even bother to play it on a gameplad, an arcade stick is needed if you want to fight correctly.

Dark Void looks like a rushed out title and imo, lacks polish.

RE5 is ok, vanilla but has its own fun.

RE5. Street Fighter 4 is fun, but RE5 is more fun.

I do. lol. in anycase, I bought a hori shtick just for that game.. Really helped out a lot.. and it was like night and day difference when it comes to executing combos (and Im not talking about the jump in + kick + down kick + hadou.. talkin about full blown combos seen in the challenge missions).
