    i'd go for max payne 2, based solely on how ****ing addictive the dead man walking mode was in the demo...

    Max Payne 2 is very short and to be honest isnt anything that special, it's very similiar to the first one. Good fun while it lasts though try to get it off a friend maybe.

    I'm getting SSX 3 and Prince of persia myself.. POP looks great and every review I've read praises the shoite out of it.

    i'm leaning towards the rpg genre i think

    what about nwn or morrowind?

    i'll GIVE you my copy of morrowind if you buy max payne 2.

    prince of persia is indeed ace yes, very addictive aswell

    star wars : kotor is a must recommend game if you havent played it yet

    NWN is also class if your into that sort of thing, plus the expansion packs to boot

    from what ive played of delta force black hawk down it seems like a very good game aswell (FPS)

    Spellforce is a new rpg game thats out very recently and looks pretty promising, bought it a few days ago but really havent had the chance to get into it

    bought terminator 3 aswell, but wasnt aware that it was a net only play type game (apart from dm/team matches against bots which is crap..) and since i havent got the net in the house anymore it isnt much use atall... seemed a decent fps game if your into fps multiplayer game

    Champ manager season 03/04

    Tony Hawks underground for the ps2 is another defo recommended game

    Pro evoloution soccer 3 for the ps2 DEFINATELY if you havent got it yet

    theres more i cant think of and ill mention later...

    i'll looking into the star wars: kotor though

    cheers

    whoops sorry missed that post you sure you don't mind parting with it?

    hmm what to do, its the ex-gf who has the vouchers for me she says she may make it into town tomorrow and try to pick up what i want i don't even think gamestop will have morrowind but they do have max payne 2 which i was looking at and seems good if a bit short, i have the original and played it abit and i liked it.

    i'll get back to you tman

    thank you

    p.s is there a manual with it? it seems like the kinda game you need a manual for


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,785 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    Call of Duty and Max Payne 2 are the games I've enjoyed the most in the last 2 weeks.
    Both are short but are visually and innovatively stunning on the PC.
    Call of Duty is a masterpiece.

    no problem parting with it, its just not my kind of game...
    i'm afraid it doesn't have a manual though.
    (there's prolly a pdf floating around the interweb somewhere...)

    oh yeah, just to clarify. i don't expect anything in return. just offloading an unwanted game.

    FYI, morrowind is very cheap in xtragame (xtravision) at the moment. €30 for the game plus both expansion packs....

    - Dave.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    It's 30 in Gamestop with both expansions also.
    I reconmend you get this, Data, the Bloodmoon expansion is quite fantastic!

    It'll keep you entertained for months, if not longer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    ok €30 sounds good, angelwhore is that in the henry street branch or liffey street or what as someone is going to try to pick it up for me in the morning.

    tman many thanks for the offer however i think it would be a good idea to have the manual for this game and also with the two expansion packs thrown in €30 is a bargain.

    cheers folks

    Broken Sword 3 or Track Mania.

    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is in my opinion the best damned platform game I have ever had the pleasure to play. It simply oozes quality. The sheer amount of times I shouted at the tv "You have got to be kidding, you want me to go there?" and then, after many rewinds actually doing it made me feel, well, special.

    Buy it. We rented it, but I'm buying it to play again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    right thanks for all the replies folks, gamestop was out of morrowind today so i got the ex to pick me up nwn with the shadow of the unrentide double pack or whatever its called.

    thanks for all the opinions folks i'll be playing this in the morning while downloading the massive updates i think are required for FF XI :)

    have a good one

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden
