    Alien vs Predator 2 (PC). Got it for 12 yoyos in Smyths. Not bad, not terribly brilliant. Just finished the Human bit and am now jumping from tree to tree as Predator. I watched the movie prior to starting it and the different visual effects/sounds are spot on.

    Rented Sniper Scope 3(PS2) and while it's fun it needs a gun to really emulate that arcade feeling.

    Also on play here at the Batloft are Jak II (PS2) which looks like a decent platformer juiced up with different flying modes, and other such wonders.

    We got two copies of MechAssault for our X-boxen. Have yet to play it multiplayer as we're too busy running around, stomping humans and shouting "ME GRIMLOCK" in singleplayer mode.

    Lastly I'm playing a lot of Erix on my new mobile, a buggy java version of some old game which probably sounds like Erix but never made it to the Pacman/Space Invaders big time. Shame really, it's very addictive.

    Broken sword: the sleeping dragon, i really like it

    Spellforce: order of the dawn, this game is quite quite brilliant, hard to explain, but it just plain old rocks

    unreal 2 xmp, I'll never get bored of seeing those raptors falling from above the clouds

    I too am playing Broken Sword 3 (PC), but I don't think it's particularly good. The puzzles are either simplistic, or else just involve interacting with anything until you get a meaningful result. Graphics are only "okay", and some of the so called jokes are really quite groansome.

    I also managed to ressurect Morrowind (PC), and decided to start again with another new character, and try to use the official (and unofficial) plugins. I just wonder if it'll eat up another 3 months of my life. I'm also considering whether to get the bloodmoon and tribunal expansions or not for the same reason.

    Also I'm playing the usual suspects - Call of Duty, Quake III, Counter Strike.

    picked up shadow warrior there a couple of weeks ago for a fiver, class game, so tounge in cheek, kinda like duke nukem crossed with ninjas:ninja:

    I'm currently sans Cube as I didn't have enough room for it at my new place (I konw it's tiny!!), so...
      Advance Wars (GBA): gone back to this after spending months on Golden Sun. By jingo it's hard! :)

      Morrowind III: The Elder Scrolls (PC):
      Just getting into this, only played three times though. Not too happy with the combat so far, but the apparent range of abilities, skillz etc is maaaasive.

      Call of Duty Single Player Demo (PC): Very enjoyable, playing this more than Morrowind!

      Commandos: Beyond The Call of Duty (PC):
      Hard as old boots. Friggin impossible :(

      Thief II (PC):
      Not too shabby at all. Quite enjoyable.



      Still have to install Deus Ex (the first one) :cool:

      Ah Vice City, truly a wondeful game. If you've got it for the PC I recommend getting Vice City Manager (free download) which allows you to replace vehicles without all that tedious name changing and hex editing. Racing around in a Ferrari Enzo is pretty lethal.

      You can also replace the Sanchez trail bike with a Yamaha which not only looks much better but is faster and more fun.

      hmmm... add Vice City to my list of currently playing.


    • Registered Users Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


      Mafia (PC) : still undecided about this tbh

      Chrome (PC) : coulda been class multiplayer. quite enjoyable to be honest, little dodgy in places tho

      Mario Kark: DD!! (GC) : sheer brilliance imo

      Gonna play some rainbow 6 when i get xbox live set up hopefully on saturday

      im not even that far! its at the start of the level right there's about 4 guys in total you run around the corner kill them then all these explosive barrels explode killing you and there's no place to hide (accept this big metal box that falls from the ceiling however if i go in there i end up dying anyway :confused::( :dunno: :mad:

      i know there's a way around it i'll find it this is the longest part of any game that ive had to think about in a long long time.

      PS if anyone else is gonna reply to this with the answer on how to do it PLEASE use spoiler tags as i dont want to know how to do it until im driven insane with frustration and start shooting squriels out of the trees in my local park THEN i'll look at the spoiler tags

      Cheers.
