Still struggling to win much on PGR4.

I love Fight Night Round 3 for a quick pick up and play game.

Dead Space and Stuntman Ignition are good although I've got to my usual make or break 'shall I give up now?' level on both.

Oh right.

E2A: Just ordered the Orange Box for 15 quid second hand. Played HL2, it wasn't the classic everyone made out but had some good bits, but never played the next episodes! Want to see what they did with the story...

Portal really is brilliant...


((((((weighted companion cube))))))
 
Another vote for Fallout3 here, even if it is an RPG. I currently don't have a real life because of this ace game. Really love it. :D
 
Dead Space is very overrated. The first half is really good, but the second half is really tedious, unbalanced and rubbish. I gave up at the final boss fight which was fucking awful. A really shite way to end a game that had lots of promise. I cannot count the number of times the game left me with no way to continue because I had no health and/or ammo and no way to continue other than to reload.
 
Crackdown is perhaps my favorite. I found it addictive collecting all the stuff to powerup - being able to jump very silly distances and roam from rooftop to rooftop gave this game a fun unique twist on the GTA-like genre.

I also like the Burnout series of games, I like the traffic checking in Burnout Revenge.

As for Live Arcade games, I am enjoying the oldschool gameplay and funny artwork of Castle Crashers at the moment :)
 
I've got Lips, had a good laugh with it on xmas day but unless you have a regular pissed up crowd to play with then I doubt it would get played much.

I got that for Christmas. It's OK but I find it quite annoying. I'm not really a fan of games that involve dying then repeating quite so often (OK maybe it's because I'm really bad at it but without dying so regularly I think you'd run through it in no time.)

Oooh yeah, I fucking love the Burnout series! Might get Paradise come pay day. :D

Don't. It's nowhere near as good as the older versions. It's main flaw is that racing around the city is impossible whle trying to navigate as there are no proper checkpoints. YOu end up taking the wrong turn constatnly or smashing into something. It's not fun at all. Plus the DLC adds weather effects which amount to reducing the visibility to the point the game becomes unplayable.

Unfortunately not.
One thing that a lot of people wanted, but tbh the game wouldn't have been as epic imo.

I don't wana ruin the story so I won't say too much, but waiting for the pickup after ghillies in the mist was so hard on veteren, but a great relief when it was done.

veteran mode is a fucking nightmare!

I swear the ai cheats with the constant amount of grenades that seem to get thrown from nowhere and land with unerring accuracy at impossible angles!

It took me ages to even land the helicopter in Shock and Awe without being blown up, and when i completed the level i got no achievement! Arg!

Couldn't agree more. I was so disappointed with this version. I have always been a fan of the series but they have ruined Paradise for me.

It was unbelievably frustrating at times, but damn satisfying :D

Mile High Club was one of the best on veteran I thought, I think I took around 3 hours trying to do that damn thing lol!

The worst part was definitely at the Ferris wheel bit though, I remember hiding in a box of supposed invincibility, but grenades would still get me in there for some reason, where others said it was piss easy to hide in the box :(

Same, I got it with my PS3 in a bundle, and its nowhere near as good as previous ones, still fun, but I found myself swearing loudly and getting very stressed more then I was having fun, and the last game to do that to me was PES4 I think :p
 
I've given up on One Shot One Kill; when video games are that furstrating they aren't worth the time. The end part of that mission is stupid on veteran, and on that difficulty level the game just cheats plain and simple.

I didn't think it was fun at all; they somehow managed to suck all the fun out of the best racing franchise ever and turn it into a withered husk of frustration and boredom. That they managed to achieve this is almost worthy of applause.
 
So does anyone play gears of war 2 anymore?
I got it, pissed through the campaign and haven't played it since, until last night that is, wana start playing it more, so anyone whos got it and wants to play some games hit me up with a friend request :P

from your posts you just come across as a whiney lil bitch who's too shit at video games to enjoy them.
 
Played four hours solid of CoD4 last night, fucking wicked game! That bit where you're bombing in black and white is class: " Light em up, good kill!". :D

IF they fix it properly i would give it another go, but the game was released too early. WHich is a shame because some parts of the sp campaign i played through (didn't finish it) were awesome.
