Really? The anniversary edition of Halo: CE? It's just an engine update, they're not even changing the design of any of the levels afaik, which is a joke considering the horrible level that is "The Library"

Now i like Halo as much as everyone else, but i can't justify paying for that.

Have you seen how beautiful the graphics are? :eek:

I also love how you can switch between old style, and new style!

But i've already played Halo:CE, i don't really care about graphics tbh. I still play games from the 90's that are my favourites.

I wish they'd do like what was done with Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Level design and game mechanics different from the original. Some similar levels obviously, but it was changed enough that people who played the original (like me) were still challenged enough by some of the puzzles in it.

Halo: CE was fantastic. I'm unaware of any Halo game after that.

Skyrim Friday,goodbye life.

Aisling(",)

Just picked this up for cheap today seems like something I'd like.Hopefully it goes well.

Eathrin

I'm too busy with GoW 3 to vother with Skyrim, but then the brother will end up getting it and I'll fall helplessly into its lure .

Skyrimmmmmmmmmmmmm

Modern warfare 3 now... Skyrim on friday

Colm!

I may or may not be downloading Skyrim right now >_>

Jay P

So, like, how am I supposed to be able to afford Skyrim, Deus Ex, Arkham Asylum and City, Fifa 12 as well as Xbox Live? Gah!

cloud493

Do what I did. Hoard your money for months and months, only buying ciggarettes, and the occasional games magazine/game/bits of food.

Robby91

Dungeon Defenders (I don't think the game's up on the PSN yet).

For those of you with €12 (or 1200 MS Points :P) to spare, it's a pretty fantastic game if you're fond of Tower Defense/Hero Defense games. It's damn addictive
Also, for Steam users, the Halloween DLC pack (i.e. 2 costumes per class and a new challenge map) will be available for free to anyone who purchases before the 11th, for anyone who is even remotely interested in the game /shamelessplug

And, of course, Saints Row The Third next Friday, yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah

Davidius

So they're saying the new Zelda is possibly the best Zelda ever made, and thus one of the best games ever made by extension. They said the same thing about Twilight Princess for a while which pretty much wasn't true (even though it was a great game).

Has anybody else sort of given up on buying new releases? I seem to have accumulated a huge back log of games I got on Steam sale, Portal 2 is the only 2011 game I own. Think Skyward Sword looks like the only thing I'd pay that kind of price for.

cloud493

Too many new releases God almighty, I still haven't played past the first colossus in the Ico collection, or opened child of eden.

Jamie Starr

Skyrim, I want, DESERVE you. My family will be ignored as much as possible when I come home.

Aisling(",)

Quite possibly the best game I've played in a looooong time.


also picked this up today

cloud493

Skrim is like.... wow

Banjo Fella

Can Skyward Sword come out already, please? Also, can I have enough money to actually buy it? I'm so excited! I've purposefully avoided as much promotional footage/general spoiler material surrounding it as I possibly could, so I'll be experiencing it in a completely blind, fresh way. I have heard it's getting all kinds of rave reviews, though, so, yay. Perhaps this'll be the game that fully shows motion controls can enrich a game, rather than diluting it? Either way, it's a new Zelda, and it looks gorgeous, original, and charming!

Davidius

Seems like Skyward Sword's not getting all that much hype, or at least it's being drowned out by Skyrim and a bunch of other releases. Hopefully that means I'll still be able to get a pre-order when I get money this week. Be happy we're the first region to get it, it'll deprive most Americans of a chance to spam spoilers everywhere.

Apparently people are really pissy about a review that complained about

rehashed* elements

, with the same guys giving MW3 a near perfect score.

*shocking

Finally got round to playing Limbo, started well but I was pretty disappointed over all. Needs more spiders.

If you like puzzle games then I'd recommend it. Unfortunately I thought I was getting a horror game, so when I discovered that the scary stuff stops early on and the majority is actually increasingly frustrating puzzles, I was a bit annoyed. It is a pretty cool game, very atmospheric and existential, it's just a bit short and loses it way after a while.
And it could have used more spiders.

I thought there would be at least another 5 pages of skyrim chat...

Good going you guys

We're all too busy enjoying the game to bother with frivolous activities such as discussing it. :P
