    Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, which is pretty *bleeping* hard.

    And brilliant. Does all the things that Bioshock was being lauded for and in many cases, does them better.

    PGR4

    I have a few games still to finish that I started before college exam period set in;
    Mario Galaxy
    Metroid Prime 3
    Bioshock PC
    Orange Box PC (though I can't actually find it, it's somewhere in my apartment)
    I might also try and pick up a copy of the Witcher too, but only if I get through everything else on this list

    I also recently got a PS2 for the first time so I've been getting a few RPG's and others from ebay;
    Final Fantasy 10
    Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
    Dragon Quest VIII
    Kingdom Hearts 2
    Valkyrie Profile 2

    Also have a DS, so will probably be looking at
    Final Fantasy 12: Revenant Wings
    Advance Wars (never got around to it till now)

    I have 4 and a half weeks or so before going back to college, so I'll try to shoehorn in as much as possible, then finish the rest off when college starts again and I'm waiting for Smash Bors/Mario Kart/Okami Wii/No More Heroes/whatever comes out on the PC

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭ionapaul


    I'm gonna be playing (all on PC):

    -COD4 (getting it as a prezzie)
    -Battle for Middle Earth 2: The Witch King of Angmar (just finishing this now)
    -Company of Heroes (once the above is finished, have had it since summer but no time to start)
    -Team Fortress 2 (really enjoying this)

    Hopefully will finally finish some other games languishing about...Painkiller, Oblivion (almost finished it last year, stopped when I moved to Australia and can't bring myself to load it up since returning), C&C:TW and Deus Ex. A few months ago I finally played PoP:Sands of Time for the 1st time, loved it, played and finished PoP:The Two Thrones immediately afterwards, installed PoP:Warrior Within but really hated the 1st level...should I bother playing it through?


  • Registered Users Posts: 39 Damn!!


    @ionapaul -- a question.
    Is the Witch King worth getting? how long did you get out of it.? i'm looking for something strategy-ey.. to play on the laptop while away for xmas, and was looking at this..

  • Registered Users Posts: 26,578 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    finally got my hands on some disposable cash - which is really hard to come by these days - and today i bought some games.

    i felt i was neglecting my consoles a bit so i bought:

    Assassin's Creed PS3. It got mixed responses from many reviewers and people but i'm fecking loving it, maybe it's so long since i played a console game but the visuals are stunning and the sheer size of the levels is uncanny.

    Super Mario Galaxy Wii. I'm keeping this one to saviour, i think it's a game i'd like to play when not playing anything else.

    Unreal tournament 3 Pc. it's an fps so rule of my thumb if it's fps it's a pc buy.

    COD4 Pc. again fps so pc buy.

    of course this is on top of the regulars

    cs 1.6
    tf2
    tf:forever.


  • Registered Users Posts: 907 ✭✭✭Den_M


    UT3, Crysis, COD 4, and Gears of War on PC :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,578 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness

    since i don't fancy buying a 360 to play one game i shall be getting the pc version i presume it looks a little nicer too?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,413 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude

    Mass Effect - 360
    Assasins Creed - 360
    Ace Combat 6 - 360 (A LOT of online play to be had, which is ****ing awesome)

    Looks about the same really, has a lot of extra content i think is the main draw to the pc version, and free online play I assume.
