    Since the summer drought is at an end, what is everyone playing.

    XBOX 360

    Lego Star Wars II - Picked this up from gamestop today. Excellent game. Great humour. tbh, i haven't giggled at a game like i did today since playing Paper Mario 2.

    Saints Row - I'm not a huge GTA fan but i quite enjoy this clone. The combat and driving is alot better. Plus i like how the mission system works.

    Dead Rising - Its a awesome looking game. Can get annoying when you easily screw up. I really need to lv Frank.

    MAC

    WOW - Haven't played it in a few weeks. Kinda got tired of it near the lv47 mark. Maybe its the people in guild taking it too serious and making it their personal life aswell.

    Playing a little Pro Evo 5 lately. Got right into Test Drive but am bored now.

    Not really playing much games because, tbh, I'm getting a bit bored of them. I need a new game and a better pc. :rolleyes:

    Basically, I need CS:S.

    That is all.

    Pathologic - FANTASTICLE first person adventure type thing from russia based in a dying town, excellent writing with some dodgey translations and just about the best and most interesting dialogues I've seen in a game, the last time I looked forward to just talking to people in a game so much was fallout 2, and that's when I gave my character 2 int and went around talking to the fellow idiot's to see the great improv pointing and grunting translated into hilarious and intricate conversations. Very challenging, great artistic direction, and unfortunately it's technically not all that good-but the writing, the music, the plot and the setting more than make up for that. Very clunky mechanics however...Still, I'm loving it.

    OSU Tatakae Ouendan - Started playing again recently enough, on the hardest mode now.....I've a feeling I'll never stop...

    Dead or alive 4 - Fun with multiple people, annoying as hell against the AI.

    Psychonauts - Playing through for the second time, currently lauging my ass off in the milkman's head..."The dead people are in the ground, I brought flowers because I am sad". Without a doubt the best game I've bought this year.

    Wik and the fable of souls - Little jumpy frogman adventure that looks a lot like the early oddworld games, not as intuitive on the 360 as the pc but still worth my 400 points.

    Doom 3 : Can only play in bursts of around 30 mins per week before getting bored

    you can get through 30 minutes of it :eek: i found it hard to get trough 10 minutes on the pc, it's so repetitive it's unreal.


    atm i'm playing

    PC:

    counter-strike 1.6
    half-life 2:episode one.

    that's it at the mo, i'm looking to buy some new games, in game at the weekend i saw FEAR,Fahrenheit and quake4 all going for 54 quid. should test the new machine nicely.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    PC: Flat Out 2 (fun in short bursts), Team Fortress Classic (7 years and I'm still addicted to it), GTA San Andreas for the second time. Couldn't beat the flight levels with my trusty keyboard and mouse, had to resort to connecting a joystick. Seems much more fun the second time around. I love it for the random chaos you can cause :)

    Xbox/PS2/PSP: Nothing.
