What Game Are U Playing Right Now

[Yeti.13]

Dead Rising. Just got it, even though it's not out here until monday. So far it's excellent, not really playing it properly just going on a rampage and throwing custard pies at zombies!!

[Elvis_Christ]

I was playing Leisure Suit Larry III just before

[Jacob Singer]

During this summer my and my friends had played (and finished) Forbidden Siren 2.....man we were bored as hell .... and the game din't help us to fell better, it's worst that the first part....if it could be posible

[Freak]

Just beat Dead Rising but now I'm going back through it and leveling up and doing the missions I didn't get to the first time around.

[Deposable]

Yazuka

[Freak]

Starting playing X-Men The Offical game for 360 today.It's alright for about an hour then you realize how repetitive it gets.I dont' like how they got the cut scenes set up.

[Phalanx]

Halo.
One craze I initially missed.
I had tried to play it before but never really got into it, and just recently d/l'd it to give it a good go. Aside from the car thing being a bitch to control on pc (only the mouse turns it, and I can't seem to change this in the settings...) it's not a bad game.
I suppose it plays out in a decent sci-fi movie kinda way...I can see them perhaps putting this one on film eventually.
I thought this at first, and I still do - those little retard aliens that run around sounding like Gir from Invader zim are annoying, and stupid - completely wrong to the feel of the game and I feel they take something away from the experience.
The musical scoring is nice, and the locations and architecture of the structures is interesting and original.
The storyline is pretty good, I like how you were thrown into the reality of the game, nicely handled.
I heard some people had an issue with the "two weapons only at a time" thing, I personally don't, but I have to say I don't particularly like the range of weapons.
Nice bit of physics work for the effect the grenades have.
I'm not sure what it is, but how your character moves around feels a little...wrong somehow.
Having given this game a proper go after all this time, I have to say that it is a well made fps game. I cannot say I would give it the same legendary status that many others seem to have, but it's a good effort, and it's retained enough interest to continue playing...it's among the "good".

I guess if you've read this far into the "review" I'll give a couple of reccomendations.

*Star Trek: Elite Force 2
I played both, but cannot remember the first one all that well...however, this one gave a good impression. Excellent game. Perfect storyline, and some hardcore firefights. All the technology of the series without getting too geeky., the tricorder/scanner plays a big role, but it's fun to use. Great sets and REALLY good AI...Not to mention Tony Todd as one of the main in-game characters. Very good. This game will make you jump, some of the scenes literally play out like a good horror/thriller should. Knowledge of the trek series doesn't matter, the storyline is very well conceived and easy to follow, the characters unestablished.
The length of this game (for once) was perfect. VERY solid title.
Check it out, and I garauntee you'll be as surprised as I was.

*Unreal 2.
I never played the original, so I don't know how this one stacks up by comparison, but this here game is excellent in so many ways. The alien worlds are absolutely beautiful to look at, the missions vary from simple to complex, never overwhelming, never unrewarding. The storyline is one of the best I've yet to see in a scifi game, the storyline introduces some pretty cool characters (and one sexy holographic bitch...or was she a robot?), the dialogue is interesting and funny. This game can go from easygoing to completely intense within seconds, the combat in this game is also varied, dependant upon what you're fighting, a pretty nice mix-up....oh and the main badguys, the "skurgg" are just...evil.., scary, angry, and not easy to take down...they make the halo baddies look like bitched.
Visually stunning game, even by todays standards.
Well worth whatever the asking cost is these days or D/L...

The reason I mention these two games in short review is that even though HALO might've been newer and prettier at the time, I think both of these games did what Halo was going for, but they did it earlier, and (SORRY HALO FANS) better.
If you're a fan of Halo, I'd definately reccomend checking them both out, for a similar but alltogether different couple of games.

[Despare]

You said that you dl'd Halo so you played the PC version no? The PC version never got the acclaim of the console version because it wasn't as big of a deal. Halo 2 is still the finest multiplayer FPS to grace a console and while Halo 1 was probably the best FPS single player experience on a console when it was released it really didn't stand the test of time like Halo 2 has. I went to play Ghost Recon with a friend the other day and that's when I realised what a difference Halo 2s matchmaking and party options made, still a great game.

[Phalanx]

Halo 1 was probably the best FPS single player experience on a console when it was released
Well, THAT I might agree on...but yeah, with the range on pc (king of fps, no contest), this one just doesn't stand out greatly.
It's good though, I'm enjoying elements of it.

If you play The Room after Fatal frame 3 maybe you'll get bored of apartments. Otherwise, I find FF 3 great, what don't you like?

[Phalanx]

Anyone ever play deus ex 2? I really liked the first one...just thinking about it...I think I saw a demo of the second one, but never tried it at length (graphics card couldn't at the time), now that I can, is it worth hunting down a copy?

Well, compared to the first Fatal Frame it seems to me like the creators lacks of imagination and new ideas. The same was the case with "Fatal Frame 2 - Crimson Butterfly".

What i liked most about the 3rd game was actually the appartment scenes. They could and should have done a lot more out of that part of the game imho.

[the_real_linda]

i play on nhl games a lot

[Jacob Singer]

well, Fatal frame 1 and 2 has a very similar story but I like how the closed the saga on the third part. The real problem would be if Campco decides to make another game for the new PS 'cause the story finished on Ps2 saga .

And talking about the apartment, yes the scenes there are scarier than in the dream manssion. The game producer had said that they put that scenes cause they took the idea from Silent HIll 4 (maybe 'cause the Silent team took some elements from Fatal Frame for Silent Hill 4)

I´m pretty sure they can manage to come up with SOME kind of excuse to continue FF if they want to. It´s been done before.;)

Deus Ex 2 was ok. The thing that I hated the most about it was the horrid and choppy frame rate. It lagged so much that it wasn't even funny.

If you have played Thief, you know what I'm talking about. The graphics are so good, they're bad. :(

Also, I was never able to play Fatal Frame 1 or 2 very much because they scared the shit out of me when I was younger. Maybe they wouldn't now that I'm older? I should also check into the 3rd.

Silent Hill 3 was decent, never got that far on the rental because I was working a lot then.

I need to get back into video games....And go for the horror oriented only.

Right now: Halo

[Despare]

Deus Ex 2 is beautiful on my pc and doesn't jump around or skip... addicting game too with a lot of the elements I loved from the first one back for #2. Finished HL2 Episode 1 yesterday and I can't wait for Episode 2, what a game. I love the way HL2 makes you panic, whether it's your elevator falling and trapping you underwater making you find a quick escape or a black headcrab that poisons you and drops you to 1HP, HL2 really keeps the energy up through the whole game.

[Vodstok]

How about the basement with no lights, some flares, and unending zombies? Gave me the damn willies. Had to play through that part 6 times on my second time through episode 1 just to make it out with over half my health, and i am a hardcore HL veteran....

I'm embarrassed to say it...but i'm still playing Half Life 2......I haven't finished it yet.....what an asshole.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Been playing 2006 Fifa World Cup (EA Sports).

Last fifa game I bought was the last World Cup edition.

This is a great game. There has been a vast improvement in graphics, physics, AI, and control over the years, making the purchase of this update worthwile. However, I don't think it would be worth getting the new version each year unless you are a serious football fan.

[Despare]

Very soon the Battlefield 2142 demo will finish downloading and then, I will be playing.

i had a brief look at Doom3
holy shit - i have to admit it's a pretty cool game - it really draws you in ..


they included the origional doom on the disk - holy shit that brought back some old memories..

Viewtiful Joe (Gamecube)

Every now and then I find myself going back to this game. It's a fantastic game, but GOD is it frusterating!

Ive been stuck at the damn "Another Joe" boss for ages, I just cant seem to beat him. Ive tried everything I can think of, Ive even gone to online walkthrough guides....grrrraaaarr he's a cheap-ass boss :mad:

Doom 3 isnt quite as deep as HL2 or F.E.A.R., but the "Holy fucking shit, I am going to die horribly while screaming!" Atmosphere makes up for that :)

oh hell yeah ... there is a bit of effective build up .. then the 1st bit of hell breaks loose - and its like ... shit - i'm there :)

[Vodstok]

yeah, doesnt really give you a chance to get ready for it, it comes about 10 minutes before i was expecting it.

If you get a chance, check out FEAR, the last 20 minutes or so are even more intense than Doom3, and it has an ending that would do a hollywood shocker proud.

never heard of it ... is it x-box too ?


one other movie i got has a pretty creepy vibe .. i think its called cold fear ..
you're dropped off on what seems to be an abandoned ship .. end up fighting live russians and zombies ... there is a really well done storm on the surface - with huge waves ..

Nah, F.E.A.R. is a pc only game (so far). has some pretty beefy requirements, but is completely worth it.

It will be on the 360 and the PS3 in a month or so.

Im a pc purist, but that is good news. Everyone should get a chance to play it, plus, if monolith continues to make money on it, the sequal wioll come that much sooner :)

Everybody with a 360 is trying the demos right? Some great ones like F.E.A.R. and Smackdown (ok I'm a wrestling nut) seriously outweight the crap... like the new Sonic game. UGH

I used to play it, it was the only game that could really hold my attention. Had a bit of free time and thought I'd kill a few people and then harrass them about it. :p

[Geddy]

I'm working on beating the original Final Fantasy.

[Phalanx]

Shouldn't be too hard...time consuming, but a decent title overall. Personally preferred segas "phantasy star" series, but they're both decent.

Installing Deus EX 2: Invisible war, as I type. I LOVED the first one (after finally playing past stage 1...which to this day annoys the shit outta me), and it's now one of my alltime favourite FPS games...here's hoping the second one is at least somewhere around that in quality.

[Geddy]

I started playing Splinter Cell last night.It's pretty good.

[Phalanx]

In regards to the ending......WTF.

WHAT ending? ha.
Yeah, nice look on the last stage, but yeah...then the rest.

RE: Deus EX 2...
For some reason, even though every aspect of my pc specs FAR exceeded the requirements on this one, and the FMV ran brilliantly, INGAME, the thing was just fucked...If I were to turn 180, I'd see the frames skip about 8 times, and it would slow up performance. This is, even with my specs being far superior than needed, and the settings turned down to minimum (640x480), this still happened. So...for a fps game, this isn't on, took it back....unfortunate.
Can anyone take a stab at why this happened?

Either way, I exchanged it for "American McGees Scrapland", which I know absolutely nothing about...looks interesting...

[_____V_____]

Far Cry (again)

Its a great game...I dont get tired of watching the visually stunning graphics...

:cool:

[Vodstok]

I'll probably load up FEAR again before the month is over (maybe even finish Doom 3? hmmm maybe)

[Geddy]

I'm gonna pick up the thing game tommorow hopefully it's only ten bucks to.Anyone played it.

[Phalanx]

Yeah, I've played it...quite difficult in parts, but it's playable...
Works kinda like a sequel to the 80's film, but goes deeper into the plot...deals with (mainly) the "other" site. (Might wanna rewatch the Thing to get amped for this one). Govt. conspiracy stuff, not knowing who to trust (there's NPCs throughout the game which can randomly turn out to be "the thing", not to mention getting infected)....I really like the mpc interaction with this one, you'll see what I mean.
There's more than one creature, which is cool...the music and atmosphere are really good, it WILL make you jump, and it WILL make you frantic.
Nice splatter, a little gore, and a pretty damn solid storyline for a game.
Possibly one of the best movie/game adaptations I've ever seen.

The girl started playing "SCRAPLAND", so I've let her, and I'll play it later...mainly because she next to never comes across a game she'll actually play, so, let her have it...I just find I can't play the same game at the same time, sooo...off to EB next week to see what they've got for $25 or less.

So, VOD, have you checked out Scrapland? I know you were a big Alice fan...not that it's anything like Alice, but the attention AMcG has put (again) in to creating another unique universe, and characters is pretty cool....ah, also, you can bodyhop into cops too...haha, fun stuff, brilliant looking game...if you havent looked at it yet, man, I think you should.

It starts pretty slow, but gets better, and better and better...especially when the cover-up plot starts.

I've been cruising through the NES emulator I have on dreamcast...hard to settle on a game, you've gotta really WANT to be into it to get one playing...at this point, I settled on "kickle cubicle" which is a strange, fun game with elements of snow brothers, and bomberman.

Hit N' Run is indeed like GTA but Road Rage is more akin to Crazy Taxi (you ever play that?). You pick up people and deliver them to their destination as quickly as possible. Both are fun but Hit N' Run is the better game.

I rented Starwars Battlefront 2 the other day, it was the pest star wars game I have played since Rogue Squadron.

[Phalanx]

Been playing through Far Cry again on pc.
Pretty good game, I like that it punishes you for running around shooting everything like an idiot...I've been sniping a lot this time around, with either the rifle or the silenced SMG thing works pretty well too, trying to find as many paths as possible to eliminate resistance from a safe point...well, mainly...it's not as though I'm not having run-ins, especially with the tri-gens, but the varied styles of combat in this game is great...
I like this one, good, creeped out atmosphere, great sound, not just one type of enemy, not just one way to play...I heard people complained that it was "too hard", I have to admit, it IS pretty damn hard, but when you stick with it and get past the learning curve, realise that this is not just your everyday FPS and play accordingly, it's not that bad, and a hell of an experience. I remember being let down by the final stage, but other than that, from beggining to end, it's a treat, and I'm eagerly awaiting FC2.

I may install "fable"...anyone played that? Any good?

[ManchestrMorgue]

Far Cry is still one of my favourite games. It has a depth of atmosphere that is rarely found in games (HL2 has it too). The outdoor scenes still look beautiful - bright and colourful when most FPS games tend to be dull and bleak in their colour schemes. It really "feels" like a tropical island.

One of the few games that I keep going back to.

[Geddy]

Quest 64...

[The_Return]

I may install "fable"...anyone played that? Any good?

Not personally, but Ive heared very good things from trustworthy sources

Fable is a wicked game,I had it for xbox but I sold it you should install it.

[Freak]

Been playing Call of Duty 3 for an hour or so and I am loving this game.Graphics are amazing and the battle's are just incredible.I'm not to crazy about the on-line play but I'll have to get a little deeper into it before I can really make a judgement.

[VampiricClown]

Fable is a wicked game,I had it for xbox but I sold it you should install it.

Fable is an awesome game....Only thing wrong with it is the short play time on it. I beat it in about 7 hours first time through I believe.

[Geddy]

Yeah it took me around that time to beat it to.
Just started playing x-men legends it's pretty wicked.

[Geddy]

Fighter's destiny.

[The_Return]

Just started playing x-men legends it's pretty wicked.

One of my all-time favourite games; my only problem with it is the same as Vamp's beef with Fable: Too damn short. Just when you're really getting into it, it's over...pissed me off so much I havent even bothered to try the sequel yet.


I bought Gun a week or two ago, but havent had a chance to start it yet. Looks pretty awesome, plus it was really cheap. Any opinions?

[Phalanx]

I've been playing through fable.
Just wondering, did you guys both play the xbox version? 7 Hours seems like...it's totally not that short. Although, I am playing the pc version "fable - the lost chapters" which I understand is somewhat extended?
I'd reccomend checking this out if you're after more content/missions/areas, of course, I haven't played the xbox version so I wouldn't know, but thus far it seems long enough, I've been playing it solid for a couple days now.
I'm being the absolute "angel" (even got a halo) this time, all "attractive" and "nice", only the "clean" weapons and powers...it's so hard not to just deliberately make the bad decisions and be an asshole...I'll be doing that next time, evil, scary ugly bastard...do people "boo" you when you're the bad guy? I'm getting kind of sick of the applause shit. I look foward to seeing the different missions and how the storyline differs too.
I like the boss fights...the game as a whole is a lot more in depth than I thought it would be.

On another matter, I remember there was a game released for ps2 shortly after it came out, called "summoner", it always looked pretty good to me...has anyone here played it enough to comment?

[VampiricClown]

I bought Gun a week or two ago, but havent had a chance to start it yet. Looks pretty awesome, plus it was really cheap. Any opinions?

Haha, just finished it up today. 100% on everything. It's very, very short. Again, I beat it in 7 hours. Including all of the side missions and collecting everything. Very good game though. Got mine for XBOX at Blockbuster for $6.99...Was going to rent it, but that was $7.99.

Sucky thing about it, you beat it and it gives you a really powerful gun and horse AND $300, you can't use them for anything though because there is nothing left to do.

@Phalanx
I had the XBOX version. I beat everything in it the first time through in 7 hours, no joke. I really want to get the Lost Chapters version though.

I don't remember if they "Boo" or not...I think they did. It's kinda cool when you do it bad through the game.

Also, never played Summoner, but I do have the sequel. Decent game, not nearly as good as Fable though.

[Phalanx]

Still playing Fable...I like this game...it's very innovative, and brings something new to the "action/rpg" table. The trading system is great, the quests and subquests are cool too. It reminds me a lot of a zelda game...it's DEFINATELY long enough though, for all those dissapointed with the xbox version, check out the pc version. (Hopefully one day, they'll just release the SAME versions pc/console-wide....damn unfair that some people pay to get what's essentially an inferior game just for prefering console or pc, although usually pc leads the way)...

Looking foward to #2, as soon as I have a pc that can play it:(

[Despare]

When people say Fable is short they're usually talking about running through the game... beating it. There are a LOT of side quests you can do to extend the gameplay.

[Phalanx]

Actually, I was thinking about that, the "too quick" thing...I noticed something a while ago when I was replaying max payne 1, one of my favourite games...it seemed a lot longer than I remembered, I thought back and could recall thinking upon the first completion "shit, that ended way too quick", I think that when a games is great, and you REALLY get into it, you don't notice the time, and between that and wanting more, it tends to make the games we really like come across as "short". I remember thinking the same thing about "dungeon siege", a game that was by no means too short...could be just a perspective thing in some cases.

[VampiricClown]

@Phalanx

Not sure if you've played them, but if you like Fable, try The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Bloodmoon and Tribunal. Much, much longer and larger than Fable. Not as good on the graphics and aging system though.

You may also check into the series Gothic. It's similar to Fable or Morrowind, but it's a little less, do what you want, type of game. Still pretty good.

[Vodstok]

That crazy game, Doom 3. Was in hell, beat the Guardian, and thought it was over. I was going to be disappointed if ther game was that short, but thankfully, i am back in the Delta complex, and killing more demons on Mars. YAY!


Those damn Archviles are creepy....

.

The Elder Scrolls are amazing games, from Arena to Oblivion they're all masterpieces.

[Phalanx]

Haven't played any...I'll look into it.
Also, if you guys liked fable, another great microsoft title (if you haven't played it already) is Dungeon Siege. More or less like a fusion of games like fable, diablo, and warcraft.

[VampiricClown]

The Elder Scrolls are amazing games, from Arena to Oblivion they're all masterpieces.

I agree. I have all of them but Arena sadly.

I still find Daggerfall an amazing game even with the horrible graphics. lol

Right now, I'm playing;

Bully, Killzone, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and fixing to start back on Ninja Gaiden...That is one hell of a hard game.

[Freak]

Picked F.E.A.R. tonight gonna give it a play later.Looks to be a pretty good game from the previews I've seen.Anybody else play this?

[Phalanx]

Finished Fable as the good guy...Is it just me, or...
*SPOILER*
















...was the reincarnation of Jack of Blades, the Dragon...easier to fight than his first appearance?

Anyways, playing as the badguy now...more or less just not taking any "good" quests that I don't have to, doing no good deeds, and basically becoming a murderer. It's different.

He is not kidding. FEAR is an amazing game, with probably the best, scariest twist ending in any game ever made. The last 20 minutes were the most intense gaming experience of my life.


I have been playing Doom3
Painkeep Arena (Mod for Quake 3)
CounterStrike Source


I wanted to play some old-school Unreal Tournament, but the game wont load... I guess i have to reinstal...

[newb]

F.E.A.R.

Creepy fucking game....play with the lights out and the sound up loud.You will be looking over your shoulder.

Rainbow Six Vegas

I just got gears of war today, I like Rainbow Six Vegas more. :eek:

[Despare]

I just got gears of war today, I like Rainbow Six Vegas more. :eek:

They're so different...

Vegas builds a nice, tension filled environment where as Gears of War is in your face action that just doesn't stopped. I like em' both.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

yeah, they're totally different. I just prefer the rainbow six style I guess, I'm also terrible at gears of war. :p

I'm bad at rainbow six too, but atleast I can kill people.

[Geddy]

Doom,And doom 2 came on my doom 3 game.I'm trying to beat doom 2 on the hardest difficulty It's hard.

[Phalanx]

Hell yeah, man...
I still have trouble going back to the "old" control system (unless the versions that came with doom3 implemented mouse controls?), did it a couple of years ago, and I'd never played through doom2 before, just messed around with it. When you fully throw yourself into it, graphics aside, it's actually a pretty scary, and intense experience. The music and sound effects are brilliant, and the gameplay (hard mode or not) gets VERY crazy.

Yeah,doom 3 scares the crap out of me,when you hear a zombie moaning and you don't know where it is that gives me the creeps.

[Phalanx]

Haven't had the occasion to play very far into doom 3 yet...maybe sometime soon, I dunno...

[Geddy]

I'm probably gonna pick up the expansion pack after I beat the game.

Are either one of those as good as Halo?

[Geddy]

Rocky legends.

both are better in my opinion. :) (and totally different)

[CrimsonFiend138]

Devil May Cry 3 and Final Fantasy 12

Scarface, Smackdown Vs. Raw '07 and of course Madden '07.

Oh and now I started playing tekken 4.

[VampiricClown]

Not the greatest in my opinion. It's decent.

I really enjoyed The Godfather game though.

[VampiricClown]

The reason I ask is because unless the game is like Halo, my father won't play it. He's a big Halo fan...I'm personally getting sick of it. lol

[Phalanx]

I just noticed there's "Oblivion" here...seems to be #4 of somethng though...looks good, but do I have to have played these other elder scrolls games to get into this, or is the story standalone?

[Geddy]

Wave Race.

[VampiricClown]

@Geddy
I like Double Agent probably the best out of the rest of the series.

@Phalanx
The Elder Scrolls games are great. The early ones like Arena and Daggerfall are DOS games, so the graphics are kinda bad and you need a computer that will support them. Morrowind is the 3rd and has two expansion packs (Tribunal, Bloodmoon) and is one of the best in the series. Oblivion is basically Morrowind with better graphics, voice work, schedules for all NPC's and a new story. To understand what's going on, you don't need the other games in the series. I mean heck, I'm still looking for a copy of the first one.

Awesome,I might rent it this weekend if the store has it.

[Vodstok]

anyone ever play painkeep arena for quake 3?

Great mod, deathmatch, but it brings some cool shit to the table, like remote sentries and a singularity, think of it as a temporary black hole. cool shit


if anyone is interested, i will track down the download url

Picked Prey up from the video store today.Got to play it a minute or two then it kept freezing. I'm gonna take it back later and hopefully they'll exchange it for me.Casue what I did get to play of it I really enjoyed.

Check onlin eto see if there are any known issues with the game freezing before you return it, because most likely getting a fresh copy of the game will not change anything.

Make sure your drivers are up to date, and make sure that the game has the most recent patches before you try playing. Last and certainly not least, make sure you dont have the settings cranked too high. Lock-up is one of the number 1 problems when a game is trying to run beyond the capabilities of your computer. The memory fills up, then it grinds to a halt, like a fused engine block.

Just some suggestions from your friendly neighborhood Vodstok.

Anywhoo...

Juggling three at the moment.

Gears of War

Rainbow Six Vegas

F.E.A.R.

[Geddy]

I just picked up Ninja Gaiden about an hour ago.

[noctuary]

Warhammer 40K Dawn of War. Very, very good adaptation, which is extremely high praise coming from a long time 40K tabletop fan. However, no Tyranids and no Dark Eldar make me sad.

[Despare]

Beat Vegas on singleplayer, playing Terrorist Hunt now... I need a new patch cable.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

I'm stuck at it already.I'm fighting that samurai guy on the horse.I almost beat it.good game though.

[Phalanx]

Not that I'm playing it, but I just got through a demo of doom3.
I've never played as much as I did...my personal pc don't run it quite right...but all the same, when I played through this I can't help but think that people would've been split down the middle about this one.
It's become a little more complex than the old dooms, but in doing so, seems to have shed any kind of semblance to the look, feel, and gameplay of old. I'm not complaining myself, but to me it didn't really feel like a "doom" game at all, just another scare/gorefest to live up to a lot of other current titles.
I have to admit, I was at the point where I was just saying to this game "for fucks sake, stop messing with me, bitch!" every corner that something can hide in, it does...
Seems a decent game, but I think quake 4 is higher on my "must play" list. I suppose when I get my new pc I'll be able to play just about anything, that'll be sweet for a while at least.

Also, did anyone play tomb raider - angel of darkness? What's it like?

[AUSTIN316426808]

Hows the scarface game?I was gonna pick it up yesterday but got rocky instead.


It's pretty good. There's alot of different things you can do and it appears to be kinda long. Entertaining way to take up some free time imo. There's extreme violence, language and drug related situations, so if that's a turn off for ya I suggest you don't give this one a second thought.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

The reason I ask is because unless the game is like Halo, my father won't play it. He's a big Halo fan...I'm personally getting sick of it. lol

Lost Planet would probably be a better choice then.

played a bit of my son's Wallace and Gromit - Curse of the Wererabbit game last night (x-box)

its fun - but i suck at games - no patience.

[Marroe]

Fatal Frame, but I am on a "break". I've been trying to get the same bitch of a Ghost for a while now. I need to let my frustration settle.

[Death_for_all]

lol where do i start?

erm well im playing lots of games at the moment

silent hill 1 :) (well re playing it)
pirates of the carribean
the hobbit
summoner
cue club
myst
and more. im playing so many different games at once i forget where im up to in half of them:confused: :)

[ShankS]

Still working my way through FEAR. Just picked up the Rail Gun. It's uber madness :D

[Phalanx]

Ah, ^there's^ one I've gotta wait for the upgrades...it'll run on my current machine, but not well enough IMO. When it comes to games, especially FPS , I'm fairly particular about everything running perfectly smoothly...otherwise it just takes so much out of it for me.

I'm going home tommorow, found a copy of 'tomb raider - angel of darkness' lying around here so I thought I'd "borrow" it and check that out. Not a huge fan of the series, but haven't played anything new to me in a while.

Currently playing "n", which I think I'm damn near the supreme master of...on the last world now, and it's a motherfucker. I might not have finished it yet, but I challenge ANYONE to get as far as I have. Once again, that's "n", a cool ninja flash game. Try it.

[VampiricClown]

I just picked up a copy of Fable: The Lost Chapters on Xbox and have almost finished it. I've only put 8 hours in it, but I've been doing all the side quests and opening all the demon doors.

Murder, do you play RS: Vegas on Live?

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

Murder, do you play RS: Vegas on Live?


I did for 48 hours :p My 360 froze just about every time I tried to play RSV online though....

My friend told me it's because I had the trial version of live, but I don't know why they'd purposely make a trial version worse... you'd think it would be the opposite. I need the wireless adaptor before I get live though.... 150$ at bestbuy for a stupid little thing like that. The premium system should come with it, what's all these wires? My headset is wired which is lame, what's the point of having a wireless controller if you have to be wired to your controller?

Anyway... I'll be getting live eventually, it's pretty much why I bought the system. Right now, between my boyfriend and I we have 8 games already (Never had a system with this much choice haha). I don't really play that much so the need for online kind of died with the combo of good games to play offline andpoor trial (and 150$ wireless adapter...). It only happened with rainbow six, it happened constantly though like every game I tried to play. Also rainbow six would be the only game I would play online.

I think the game I play the most right now is Hexic. :o

I'm going to play condemned when I get home from work tonight, the game's even scarier when you can hear actual junkies throwing up and yelling outside in real life while you're playing.

[knife_fight]

World of Warcraft, but only for a few weeks.

[Despare]

Well, I haven't had much game playing time but anybody here who plays RSV can find me on Live as Despare. I'd say Gears of War but the online matchmaking on that one sucks.

[Vodstok]

Played some painkeep arena last night, that one never gets old for me.

Also played FEAR with the lights off. Had to stop after a while. Its so godamn nerve-wracking...


Funny story: Last night, in fear, i had killed one soldier, and hispartner had retreated. So i snuck to the edge of the stairwell he was behind, then popped around. He was a little bit back, so i pumped 3 rounds from the shotgun at him. It kicks up a ton of dust,so i didnt know if i had quite hit him. I chucked a grenade up where i thought he might be hiding. When it exploded, i saw his body move, i HAD killed him with the shotgun. I found out how a second later when his head rolled down the stairs. :) I had blown his head off (literally) and the grenade rolled it like a bowling ball :)

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

I actually finished condemned! First game I've beaten in a long time. Excellent game, jumped out of my skin a few times.

Ive been getting pretty hooked on Team Fortress Classic (Half-Life mod) lately. Im terrible at it, but its still really fun.

[Phalanx]

Might give "sands of time" another go...never really got that far in it, but it seems like a great game, I just have to be a little more patient.
Of course, I've been pondering reinstallation of all the MAME stuff I have too...

Well, I hope you are able to defeat your wife and son and take over the world.

(I just wanted to write that sentence.)

[Vodstok]

god i hate that game.
i dont care for games (but i'll still playe them with my kid) that rely on luck - the throw of dice. With Risk there is about 5% strategy involved but everyone learns that within 5 min of playing the game .. after that it's all dice.

there arent many games where you rely solely - or mostly on your brain ..

chess, trivial pursuit ...one or 2 more ?


with risk ... i spend most of my time in amazement at my supernaturally bad luck with the dice.

same here. Its why i hated board games when i was a kid. 50% of the game was me getting shitty roles (or bad cards in sorry), the other 45% was my sister cheating her ass off.

She got the Starwars edition of trivial pursuit one year, though, and after that her ass was mine. i dont think i ever got a questions wrong.

[Vodstok]

i buy trivial pursuit editions if i see them cheap/used.
hardly ever play them but i have about 10 or more different versions.

no one will play Silver Screen against me.

Ha! I cant get anyone to play trivial pursuit against me, period. I would imagine it would be the same for most of the people who are regulars here, a lot of us are pop culture databases.


It drives my wife crazy that i can remember that Ned Flanders was black in the first episode of the simpsons, but i cant remember to caall the red cross to see if they will take clothes donations.

Which would beg the question, Would the winner really win, or would they be the the biggest loser in the group?


Of course, all of us being married and having kids kind of takes us off the loser list. At least we've all been with women. more than i can say for a lot of my nerd friends from high school.

Evil Dead Regeneration, just finished it actually. Ted Raimi (Sam's brother) did the voice in it for Sam the Deadite

Fun game...repetitive, but fun.

Crackdown Demo

Hell yeah!

Going oldskool again...ripped a DREAMCAST disk full of sega megadrive games onto the pc, hooked up an emulator with a couple control pads, and being playing through a couple of my favourites, namely...
Cannon Fodder & Flashback - the quest for identity.
Both fun, but the latter amazes me, to this day.

Never played either of them.

Flashback was amazing, and Out of This World. As far as Cannon Fodder goes maybe I'll try to find the Jaguar and hook it up now, sounds like fun.

It's nothing spectacular, but it's good for a laugh...and gets pretty damn addictive. Good music, good humour, and (eventually) some pretty challenging missions. Kind've like classic warcraft meets general chaos...


Flashback was amazing, and Out of This World
Damn straight...played through both, but I found flashback stayed with me a lot more...Delphine did great things with those two.
For those that haven't played them, picture the old style prince of persia games with better storyline, and sci-fi setting. Only play "out of this world/another world" if you want to be amazingly frustrated, it tends to rely a little more on luck and being frantic. Flashback is a little better paced IMO, and much easier to pick up.
Anyways, romnation.net has all the roms and emulators you'll ever need for those interested in having a look at these great games.

Just put on the master system emulator...played something I had a faint recollection of called "psychic world", pretty terrible game...interesting though.

I was thinking about getting all the oldskool "phantasy star" games and playing through those, now there's some great oldskool rpg goodness.

I thought it was brilliant as far as simplicity went. An RTS suited for consoles with non-stop action and quirky characters. I loved it at the time. :)

Mario Kart 64.

Started on the old "Gabriel Knight - The beast within".

Seems pretty slow and boring...

That game is so much fun. Especially if you´re more than 1 player. :)

I wasn´t even a kid when i played it. Around 20 i think..

Nah, it's not quite that old, cueball...

Agreed on the 2p fun...battle mode was awesome, but then, once you play crash team racing, it's hard to go back to this one...

It´s exactly that old, Hairy. ;)

Restarted Half-Life 2, since i discovered my computer is capable of running it nicely with High dynamic range lighting and 4x FSAA turned on at 1280x1024.


Amazing what you learn when you just try things out.
