I dl'd it from the xbox arcade and it's the most fun I've had playing a game in a long time, they really should make more platformers.

Finally got COD4 (late, I know)
Kind of short, but it's a pretty intense game. I liked it.
The new one comes out soon... guess I'll be getting that a couple years late as well.

Astronomer 08-20-2009 10:16 PM

My flatmates dragged me around to at least 10 different gaming stores today so that they could pre-order the new COD but every place was overridden with orders and sold out.

Have you played World at War?

Alfred 08-20-2009 10:24 PM

The original COD has a better campaign than WaW in my opinion. Just throwing that out there.

Nah, I haven't.
This is my first COD actually. Is WAW an expansion or something?

Akira 08-21-2009 04:16 PM

Currently playing a campaign in both of the below, expanding my dominant empires.

No it's an entirely different game sticking to the same boring WW2 setting. =\

Always Condition Zero.

But recently, Audiosurf, and TrackMania.

Gameplay is great, very unique for a FF. The story is lackluster though. It has points that are good, but then you have to play 10 hours until the story picks up again.

Well Guitar Hero is a game that can be really fun even on single player.

While Rock Band is strictly a multiplayer game, if you have no friends (like yours truly) then you're f*cked and wasted $200 on a game you'll never play again.

Guybrush 08-24-2009 02:33 AM

Just played through Fallout 3 again after getting some of the addons. The addons were okay, not particularly better than the quests and so on from the original game, but I love Fallout 3 so of course it was fun.

Now I've got The Sims 3 which is a strange game. There's little to strive for I think, yet it is kind of fun.

Sparky 08-24-2009 11:23 AM

which addons did you get?

Point Lookout looks pretty cool to me.

I got Broken Steel of course, Point Lookout and The Pitt. I did not get mothership zeta and the anchorage addon, reason being they got lower review scores and frankly, I was surprised at how expensive these addons were.

Both The Pitt and Point Lookout were good. As I wrote, not mindblowing, but good. Broken Steel was best perhaps for the stuff it introduced to the world such as the ability to keep playing after you "finish" the old storyline, a level 30 level cap, added feats, new items and new monsters etc. The new quests were good, but they were over real fast.

I'm trawling through it now (very slowly, 17 or so hours so far) and i think it's an absolute masterpiece. I love games like this that go that little bit further what with the huge world and the level of detail. Kinda hoping it doesn't end!

Yes, I love it too. Back when Fallout 1 was released, I got my hands on it and basically stayed glued to the computer until I had finished it. It was the same story with the 2nd game .. Of course I'm a big fan of Fallout and also happen to be a fan of the Morrowind games (I actually liked Oblivion), so Bethesda + Fallout didn't worry me much.

Of course when I played F3, I was so impressed :D I think I got chills when I first got out of the vault and saw the wasteland spread out before me. To me, it's an absolutely awesome game, with or without addons!

By the way, if anyone's thinking of getting just 1 addon, get broken steel as it continues the game past the "ending" and adds new content to the capitol wasteland. The other expansions add extra areas that are not part of the capitol wasteland and so they don't integrate as well as broken steel.

Sparky 08-26-2009 10:34 AM

I'm just planning on getting all of them, im that obsessed with fallout.

Guybrush 08-26-2009 10:54 AM

Regarding F3 addons and new areas, at worst some of the items in those new areas do not have equivalents found in the capitol wasteland and can be hard to repair on your own, making you rely on NPCs or backtracking to those areas to get more loot (item condition drops over time and use, but if you have say two assault rifles, you can use one to repair the other) .. I find little things like that slightly irritating!

Right now, I'm playing Sims 3 now and then. My virtual self and girlfriend are about to have our first virtual child. It's alright, but since there's no specific goal or story, it feels more like a waste of time than most other games. It's not as motivating, but definetly well done and quite fun for a bit at a time.

Sparky 08-26-2009 11:02 AM

Yeah, i liked the repair hammer in Oblivion more. It's a bitch keeping the Tesla armor in top form.

I just completed the main quest, looked up the remaining side quests and i've only scratched the surface, awesome! I'm actually highly tempted to get Xbox live just so i can get all the add-ons, such is my love for this game. I'm going to have to track down 1 and 2 as well.

Exiting the vault is one of those epic videogame moments, especially when you realise 'wow, i can actually explore all of this!'

Dr.Seussicide 08-26-2009 11:04 AM

Pokemon Diamond... Got 2 badges mother****ers :cool::ar_15s:

Guybrush 08-26-2009 11:06 AM

I played the game on PC and the addons are also available on Games for Live Windows or whatever they're called. :)

Slight Fallout 3 Spoiler Warning

Hm, the enclave armors are rather common once you get to the end of the game. Enclave forces are dropped with vertibirds here and there on the map, a bit like random encounters. Of course I set out to visit every area on the map on my second play-through and I met soldiers everywhere so with a repair skill of 100, my enclave armor was almost at 100% condition all the time. I did worry about repairs at the start, so I would bring extra armor sets back to my home in Megaton sometimes when I found them so I could go back there and repair, but it wasn't really necessary.

The tesla is no longer the best of the enclaves, though. With Broken Steel, there's now the slightly better Hellfire Armor :D (also common in the endgame).

Sparky 08-26-2009 11:09 AM

I have my repair at 100 too. I see plenty of enclave dudes everywhere, but the tesla armor looks way doper with those big ass plasma beams sticking out. Thats my main reason in keeping it.

I wish they'd hurry up and release the DLC on ps3. I honestly have run out of things to do in my save.

Guybrush 08-26-2009 11:19 AM

By the way, some time ago I played through the brilliant, brilliant game Dead Space which is also quite magnificent.

http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1...over_large.jpg

It's a an action-space-survival-horror adventure where you play a crew member being part of a crew that's responding to the emergency signal from a superlarge mining vessel ship thingie. When you get there, the place seems mysteriously empty .. of course it's not, you soon find yourself cut off from the rest of your friends facing a bunch of horrible, macabre monsters that may just be what's left of the mining crew. You have radio contact with the other survivors of your own crew members and have to go complete different tasks in different areas on the huge ship in order to get out of there alive. Along the way, you discover the truth about what really happened on the ship.

There's a lot of action, scares and situations that just feel like they're gonna be too much for you but you somehow manage. Most enemies in the game are vulnerable to getting their limbs hacked off and the weapons you'll use often do just that to gory effect. You can upgrade items and so on and there's a good feeling of not just story progression, but also character progression through the game.

It's also rather lengthy with a good story and great atmosphere. You often feel very alone when you're walking the dark corridors of the mining ship, wondering what's gonna lash out at you around the next dark corner.

The game also gets better the longer you play it, so if you have given this a shot for, say, 10 minutes and was put off, pick it up and give it another chance. We need more games like these :)

Arya Stark 08-26-2009 11:48 AM

I just played Resistance last night. =33

But the guy I was playing with isn't a big gamer so he turned it off when he got bored.


No fun.


Anyway, the game isn't bad for a shooter.
Once I got used to it, I was able to figure out what I was doing and such.

The controls on PS3 are so much better than 360.

Guybrush 08-26-2009 11:50 AM

Games like FPSes and others where you benefit from precision, I always prefer to play them on computer. I've experienced nothing that beats the mouse and keyboard combo for that!

Akira 08-26-2009 11:52 AM

no finer controls than WASD + Mouse

I'm playing it on PS3. I'd only ever messed about on it for 10 minutes at a mates, I had never gotten round to playing it until a few days ago. Only 13% or so through but loving it so far.
