DESCRIPTION

Cursed Mountain takes gamers back to the late 1980s and puts them in the role of Eric Simmons, a mountaineer who has trekked to the Himalayan mountain Chomolonzo in order to investigate the disappearance of his reckless younger brother. Not only must Simmons contend with the brutal forces of nature at 20,000 feet, but he must also do battle with the cursed souls of dead adventurers, villagers, and Buddhist monks who did not properly respect the mountain, and have been left in limbo in the Shadow World. Players must use the Wii Remote's motion controls to climb and fight enemies, and Deep Silver claims its graphics engine, combined with the mountain's top-of-the-world vantage point, lets players view the entire game world at all times. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

Gamefly is having a sale! by: EarthboundX

“LOL! You spent money on Rogue Warrior well enjoy it. Not a very fun game.”

“Yeah, I'm a bad game buff, Gamestop gave it a 2, I wanna see just how bad it is.”

“I've read that the main character only speaks in swears, haha.”

“Yeah for a game built off of existing gameplay mechanics you'd think Rebellion Developments would get the game right. My friend bought it because Bethesda Published it. All it is, is a poor designed FPS that uses the F bomb as if it was going out of style.”

“I wonder if it says the f word more then The House of the Dead: Overkill. That game said the f word so much, it lost all meaning near the end of the game.

Course that game was a parody of grindhouse films. ”

“LOL! You should compare the games because it's said quite a bit. ”

“Is the gameplay itself bad, or is the story just sh*t. I can put up with a sh*t story if the game is fun, in fact, I kinda enjoy a bad story if it's campy enough, However, if the gameplay sucks, no matter how good the story-line, graphics & etc, I won't touch it with a ten foot pole.”

“@dowekeller Here's the review.

“Gameplay is broken there are times where shooting people just doesn't work, and the cover system was quirky. IF you have every played Gears of War this game will drive you crazy. The AI is a joke and the strongest weapon is the knife. I ran through the game using my knife almost 80% of the time. The story is just stupid.”

“@EarthboundX Oh gamespots review. My favorite is Machinima. Watch it from 3:03 it's great.

“Yeah, I read the reviews and watched the video, sounds like they blew their development funds on the voice actor, and had their nephew code the game engine up in QBASIC over the weekend. Supposedly in addition to sucking, it's really short, so, on the plus side, you won't have to suffer for long to finish it. I don't know that it's not worth 12 bucks though, you can't hardly get a shovel-ware tetris clone for $12.”

“This is awesome.
Almost as good as Steam's sales, but these are used console games. Do they usually arrive in good condition? I know what Blockbuster games look like when someone's finished with them, and I'd rather not have that here.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Yeah, Gamefly's used games are the best condition of any used games I've ever seen. The cases and manuals are in pristine condition. The discs are usually in great shape too.

Just got Assassins Creed 2 for 17 bucks.

“I saw that.

Totally going on a spending spree next paycheck.”

“WTF? Rogue Warrior is rated higher then Dark Void on the 360.

What?!”

DarthOdium was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@EarthboundX LOL! I guess people like it more than Dark Void. Although Rogue Warrior has a complete story from start to the end. Dark Void felt like it jumped ahead and left stuff out.”

samanoskeake was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“Rogue Warrior was horrible.

Dark Void was mediocre, but it had some fun gameplay. ”

DarthOdium was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“I think after you play through both games EarthboundX you should top off your crappy gaming experience with Superman 64.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“Dark Void actually got a lot of 7+s, while Rouge Warrior, got 2s.

Now that I think of it, I didn't count the total number of votes.

I bet RW had a lot less votes.”
