What are you playing right now?

[Miktar]

Both Gldm and I are stuck into Two Worlds, which we think is an awesome game that has been totally misrepresented by the publisher and the media - it's basically a 3D Sacred (Sacred being a Diablo-clone also from a German developer).

Two Worlds has horrible dialogue and needs to be patched a bit more, but what it brings to the table makes it totally worth it.

What are you currently playing?

[Noxville]

Gone back to Counter Strike.. sadness I know.. I throw in some C&C 3 and Starcraft when people are keen.

[Chevron]

Tomb Raider: Anniversary

[Q-Man]

Guitar Hero 2 :D And I'm loving every moment of it. I play until my hand feels like going into a spasm, break for a bit, then start up again. Currently pwning everything on medium (though I still have to get 5 stars on a lot of songs) and have tried (and completed) a couple on hard - the jump is, wow...

Love it.

[Miktar]

Tomb Raider: Anniversary

I know what my thoughts are on it, but how are you finding it? Everything you expected? Did you buy the regular version, or the special edition with the extra DVD?

[SkinkLizzard]

guildwars prophecies. all the other games I have, seem to have lost their fun, and guildwars only occasionaly with friends.

guildwars prophecies. all the other games I have, seem to have lost their fun, and guildwars only occasionaly with friends.

Speaking of Guild Wars - we've been having a blast with it, since we started the whole Mesmeranger troupe idea (going through each chapter from start to finish as a big group, with TeamSpeak). I take the occasional screenshot, which you can find here if you're interested: http://picasaweb.google.com/miktar/Mesmerangers

[Antharias]

Guild Wars, EVE and the Thief series. Hoping to get my hands on the third one soon.

[Gambit]

Playing TDU (PC), C&C Tiberuim Wars (Getting a bit boring though.) and I am actually trying some mods for Star Trek Legacy (Which I hated when it came out.) and HW2.

man those are some awesome shots mik, having a blast on the beach there.
how do mesmerangers play, I'm currently playing as a necromentalist.

also occasionally playing lemmingball z and savage.

[Miktar]

There are 7 of us, each Mesmer/Secondary - we have all the Prophecies classes covered (Monk, Elementalist, Necromancer, Warrior, etc) with a double-up on Elementalist (I'm Fire, Gldm is Earth generally), and we also have a Mesmer/Ritualist now. Once we hit Factions, we're going to try and find a Mesmer/Assassin to join us, who'll be Orange Mesmeranger (since we have an abundance of Orange dye :P)

[SkinkLizzard]

lol that is like totally cool... you should have a visit the people and show off as hero's day or something. silver and green make a seemingly nice combo in terms of mixing dyes.

[Chevron]

I know what my thoughts are on it, but how are you finding it? Everything you expected? Did you buy the regular version, or the special edition with the extra DVD?

I got the special edition dvd. Checked out some the extras, not all. I liked seeing the game trailers from the other game.

I've never ever played a tomb raider game. I just got it beacause I heard it wasn't bad and I needed a good reason to finally get that xbox360 gamepad I've been wanting to get. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Especially the puzzles. Shooting a T-REX for the express purpose of making him cross was quite fun. As well as seeing the look on her face when it first showed up.

I like it that the movie scenes are "actioned", Like Resi4.

[Azimuth]

Mostly Guitar Hero 2, although I'm taking a forced break today to let my fret hand recover.

[Gammaray]

I bought God of War 1 this weekend because i saw it for R150, so i traded my old Silent Hill 2 Director's Cut and ended up paying R60 for it. Dunno why i never got around to buying it, but i realise now what all the fuss was about, and i need to finish it before i go on to the sequel. Im officially addicted.

[Karuji]

currently im playin oblivion (again)

[Phoenix]

Well busy with Saint's Row, Guitar Hero and most recently The Darkness.

[wir]

I recently started playing Diablo 2 again.
Ah, good times; I'm trying to buy 2 HR's(high runes) so I can buy an Enygma.

[Scorp1on]

I am playing many games at the moment actually.

I have recently started Gears Of War again because it is just plain awesome. I have the Collector's Edition and when I go to sleep at 03:00 in the morning thanks to GoW I cuddle up with the steel box to keep it warm for the night...

Another game I am playing is TrackMania Nations, it is just so addictive, the graphics are beautiful and the user-made tracks are unbelievable!

Then there is F.E.A.R., I started the story mode again so I can take a break from the multiplayer aspect (Which I'm sure all of you know I can't stop playing). I am trying it on extreme difficulty and so far it is quite easy.

The last one I will mention here is Quake III Arena. I finished the single player campaign and am struggling to get the Multiplayer side working on SA servers but it is really fun and addicting aswell.

[Chevron]

Im actually also playing TMN at the mo(since I've gotten my 360 controller my gf is actually playing more than me). Where you get the user created tracks?

[Scorp1on]

On the servers, just select internet and join a server. I prefer Hell's Heaven as it has teh coolest tracks.

[Gazza_N]

Playing a few games that I pulled from Steam recently - Introversion's Uplink and Popcap's Peggle. Trying to finish Nod in C&C3, when I get the chance. Also trying to get Mechwarrior 2 up and running again for old time's sake.

[Miktar]

It's good to see someone playing Uplink. That game took many months from my life back when it came out.

[Gldm]

Both Gldm and I are stuck into Two Worlds, which we think is an awesome game that has been totally misrepresented by the publisher and the media - it's basically a 3D Sacred (Sacred being a Diablo-clone also from a German developer).

What are you currently playing?

Dude WTF? Two Worlds has awesome dialogue! "This spell hardens your skin and can protect you from blows, blades, arrows, spells... and nagging women."

[ib3waffle]

CS:Source GunGame Deathmatch on local servers (counted as free traffic), solitaire. . . . purble place! Just reinstalled Vista, so gonna have to build up the 40 something games I had in my Xfire list.

[Miktar]

Okay, I'll admit - it has a few gems. Sometimes what your character says when he enters an area just cracks me up.

[Gazza_N]

It's good to see someone playing Uplink. That game took many months from my life back when it came out.
It's an awesome premise for a game. I'm finding the learning curve to be a little steep in places, and the interface has its little niggles, but I'm still having a blast.

[Miktar]

I found http://guide.modlink.net/ to be utterly indispensable when playing Uplink. :P

I am in your debt, sir. ;)

[Ruandre]

Project 8 every now and then; I've honestly not been gaming seriously of late, just a couple of quick bursts. I hope to change that this weekend though. :)

[Miktar]

Project 8 every now and then; I've honestly not been gaming seriously of late, just a couple of quick bursts. I hope to change that this weekend though. :)

Gldm and I just moved to a new place and as a result, we have zero internet connectivity. After a bit of discussion, we decided to forgo attempting to get ADSL at home entirely (for the meantime), and the results are astounding - we're actually playing games now, instead of just wasting hours on the internet doing "stuff" when we get home.

[Ruandre]

Yeah, the Internet has a way of consuming most of one's time.

[Scorp1on]

Soon you'll actually be playing games - online!

[Machine]

I just recently got Escape From Monkey Island (I'm finding it surprisingly fun) and I also got FlatOut 2 (It's pretty good and still better than the NFS series)

I'm still playing the odd game of FEAR multiplayer (I've been taking a break recently but I'm getting into it again :P)

[Scorp1on]

*Shiver* I'll meet you on the servers!

[JudgeFredd]

I'm playing God of War 2. Enough said.

[Boggle24]

Life kind of stopped for me near the end of the previous month, you see, I started playing Arcanum again.

Oh sweet blissful joy.

I've managed to squeeze Guitar Hero 2 in there too, I dunno how though, Arcanum has had me infront of the PC the entire day for the past few weeks.

[GeometriX]

Damnit Boggle! Why'd you have to go and mention Arcanum? Now I feel that desperate need to play it again. Crikey I love the music in that game. Hmmm, maybe I'll go all out tech this time...

Anyhoo, at the moment, I'm playing Company of Heroes, C&C3, that bloody awful Sherlock Holmes game, and bouncing between Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. I'm also trying to get back into UT2004 and Unreal Ed 3.0 - SAMS Mastering Unreal Technology has been giving me the hairy eyeball lately.

Nearly finished Fallout 2 again - went typical sniper/thief/boring combo - so I decided to go full-on diplomat in Fallout 1 - it really is amazing how different the game is when you choose a style you've never done before.

[Yuan]

Started with Marvel - Ultimate Alliance a couple of days ago.

Still have Call of Juarez, ONIMUSHA 3(PC), and Space Rangers 2 to finish.
Plus playing Fear Multiplayer and some Warcraft3 on Battle net from time to time.


Also thinking about getting Lost Planet or Overlord... after playing both demos and read some reviews Overlord seems to be first on the list to get.

[Yuri]

Just ordered Unreal Tournament Anthology from T2, thought id brush up on my skills before UT3 hits. Other then that, not much really catches my interest.

[Headshot]

Rented Dead Rising for a while. Now I want to get Overlord. So right now I'm playing Savage again.

[Zen]

Me, I'm currently playing:

C&C 3 (A bit old, but still good fun)
TRA (Still trying to get to grips with the new control mapping, I'm too lazy to change it back)
GOW 2 (Awesome game!)
GoW (Playing it mostly online these days)
Forza Motorsport 2 (Online aswell)
Some funny flash game called Ned.

[Repline]

- Becoming the hero of Spielburg again (QFG - EGA version)
- Kohan 2: Immortal Sovreign
- Fallout Tactics
- Humans

ahh nothing like a trip down memory lane

[Noxville]

Finishing Uplink is indeed a good idea.. my friend and i played that game non-stop for like 3 weeks, playing hundreds of different ideas.. What i found really cunning was the type of cd-key that they used.. where you need a whole table to get the key you need..

[Turk1sh]

Playing HL2 ep 1, halo 2, stalker and supreme commander

[Toi]

Just finnished The Darkness.

A bit of Forza here and there.

I have a few games that I haven't finnished yet but nothing that really draws me in to the point of having to finnish it like The Darkness.

Maybe I'll start playing Oblivion again.

I really wanna play the new Tomb Raider game.

[chnsw]

World of Warcraft
Started Saints Row

I also ordered Lord of the Rings Online. So hopefully that arrives soon. :D

[Uncle Buck]

Medieval: Total War 2. That game is just too damn addictive for me. It's been gaming 'til 1 AM every morning for two weeks now, and I'm not halfway through the grand campaign yet, and yes, I feel like crap at work the next morning.
Still, the sacrifice is worth it. I think I'm gonna play some Forza 2 on the weekend though. Always fun in multiplayer.

[SplaT]

I'm currently more into the unhyped, little games like:

Alien Shooter
Alien Shooter 2
Peggle
Ballance

And other popcap-type games are starting to appeal to me over those heavily financed, over hyped, secretly boring "AAA" titles.
With some exceptions of course.

[echo]

Diablo 2, Ut 2004, C&C 3 and Unreal 1.

[wisp]

Just finished S.T.A.L.K.E.R currently playing Far cry(Again),Spellforce,Quake 4 (again),Warcraft 3...i like to chop and change alot...very short attention span>>LOL

[Kensei]

Oblivion
Overlord demo (probably buy the full version)
KoTOR2 (well, I installed it :P )
Need For Speed: Carbon (when I need a quick fix)
Rainbow Six: Vegas
Armed and Dangerous (working through the game and recording the cut scenes - Fraps FTW!)
And I should get about 11 oldish games in the next week or so, just to add to the collection

[Toi]

Tried Prince of Persia: Warrior Within last night on my PC. My PC crashed after 20 min, don't know if it's hardware related or just because it's a horrible game.

My money is on the game.

Please dont tell me that , i just bought the P o P trilogy :eek:

[Surprise]

I just finished GoW on casual so I'm going to move onto hardcore now. On a side note RAAM pomped me stukkend. Pure blind luck that I actually killed him.

[SkinkLizzard]

Please dont tell me that , i just bought the P o P trilogy :eek:

you got your moneys worth don't worry. I haven't personally played sands of time but I've heard good things about its story and such, but I have played warrior within and The Two Thrones
and imo if you paid 200 or less then it was worth it just for The Two Thrones :)

[PloPshoP]

Playing Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Hitman Blood Money, going through a bit of a stealth/killing phase.

[Toi]

I just finished GoW on casual so I'm going to move onto hardcore now. On a side note RAAM pomped me stukkend. Pure blind luck that I actually killed him.

Same here, hardcore's not that tough really. Raam, man he's a bastard child I tell you. I did actually try a technique. Shoot him with the crossbow, the explosion will make the surrounding bats flee, then pop him with the sniper rifle in the pip. Problem is that you have to be faster than the speed of light to do this and be able to quick reload like a champ. I think that my cursing at the screen for an hour or so eventually killed him, even though I would like to think that it was my high levels of skill. ;)

[wisp]

Thanks paid R89.95 for the trilogy -Warrior Within,Sands of time,The Two Thrones..was a bargain

[Toi]

Hey, it's still a bargain, even though I would rather have gone for the sure hit Splinter Cell trilogy. But maybe you already own those. You do own those right?

[Phoenix]

I got Overlord yesterday for the 360 and boy o boy what a game.

[wisp]

no but next on list:)

[Mic]

currently:.... WoW... very cool, used a bit of teamspeak with friends over xfire... makes life a hole lot better... I'm also into C&C 3 but WoW is addictive and I never seem to get time to play it... and there.... probably when I reach level cap I will continue with other games and use wow more social like... thats why I like wow... the social aspect.

[Toi]

I got Overlord yesterday for the 360 and boy o boy what a game.

I held this game in my hand yesterday but was hesitant. I only briefly played the demo, might check it out.

[PerVert NexT Door]

Just played Fable: The Lost Chapters for the first time. That games amazing.

[Miktar]

Just played Fable: The Lost Chapters for the first time. That games amazing.

I had a hard time with Fable when I first played it on Xbox, I just didn't enjoy it. Something about the game kept rubbing me the wrong way, but I never managed to really put my finger on it. I think it may have been the control scheme, since I recall that I found using magic rather frustrating because it would never do the right thing (you had to hold a button to access a menu, then hit the right button while the menu is open, and it wouldn't always 'catch'). I also found the world itself rather bland once I got into it - it's like they had the right idea, just not the time to put everything in that was supposed to be there.

What about the game has you interested?

[Yuri]

I felt the same about the PC version, pretty much enjoyed it, just felt they didnt really finish the game.
Oddly enough i felt the same about Black and White 2...awesome game just not enough content.

[PerVert NexT Door]

My favourite aspect of the game was the Good/Evil morph based on your decisions but I bought the PC version which apparently has a much better control scheme than the xbox.
I agree there isn't a huge amount of content. Especially compared to other Open world RPGs ie. Oblivion.

[Azimuth]

Fable was conceptually awesome, but fatally flawed in execution. The good/evil aspect, for example, just didn't work too well, and, like, since when does using magic age you prematurely? The level ups were also just sort of like blah.

[PerVert NexT Door]

As far as I've seen the level up system have been very mediocre. Hopefully they'll improve it in Fable 2.

[Azimuth]

In Fable 2, if you're evil, your dog will **** on the corpses of your enemies. That's all the reason I need to buy it.

[PerVert NexT Door]

Reason enough for me :)

[BlackHawk]

Just Cause - totally pulverizes my PC. The FPS difference between 800 and 1024 was negligible. A bit repetitive (destabilize island, take over all settlements, rinse, repeat) but the gorgeousness makes up for it.
Oblivion - gotta finish the Fighter's Guild quest line and move on to the Dark Brotherhood.

I've also got a copy of The Longest Journey that's giving me the eye. Has anyone played it? I'm not referring to the sequel (Dreamfall).

[MonGooS]

Im just starting Ultima Online again gonna try out another shard.

Busy gaining ranks in bf 2142

Also replaying Just Cause.

I tried Oblivion a few days ago but I just cant get back into it :(

[Chippit]

I tried Oblivion a few days ago but I just cant get back into it :(

Grab Shivering Isles. It worked (is working) for me.

[dammit]

Worms 4 Mayhem Demo :P

[MrDeVil_909]

Enjoying my shiny new 360 while it lasts ;) Guitar Hero 2, PGR3, DOA4 and Gears.

Took me nearly a week to adjust to shooting with a controller, but I'm getting there. The game is sooooooo purty.

Got Civilization Chronicles the other day, but sitting at the PC playing doesn't seem as fun as it did a while ago.

[Uncle Buck]

Gone back to playing FEAR for a bit, since I bought the expansion as well. My God, I forgot how this game rocks.

[maxdamage]

Atm I'm playing solitare and freecell as my aunts comp isn't that good but I surf alot on her high speed dsl/wlan connection at youtube :D.On my pc I've been playing NFS:MW and a revival of Carmageddon 2:Carpocalypse Now! with Carma 1 and Carma 1 Splat pack track conversions to Carmageddon 2 format....

[FoX]

World of warcraft :)

[R4mzy]

Man... I play too many games at once:
Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30 (Lost my saves... *sigh*)
Black & White 2 (Same as above *sigh*)
Command & Conquer 3 (this one's been a bit slow for me)
Company of Heroes (That damn mission is impossible...)
Dark Messiah (Takin' a break...)
Far Cry (Saves... lost...)
Fable
Full Spectrum Warrior (I think I'm nearly done)
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (Not really enjoying it much actually)
Oblivion (lost my character... *sob*)
Prey (I just don't know why, but I'm taking forever to play Prey)
STALKER (Takin' a break)
Silent Hunter III (just can't get the hang of it)
Supreme Commander (lags too much)
Rainbow Six Vegas

*sigh* So much to play! So little time!

[Gen0cyde]

ATM:

ColinMacrae Dirt
Worms (Xbox live arcade)

[Fredder]

Condemned
Tetris
Doom 3 + expansion
CnC 3
Titan Quest
CS Source + 1.6

[R33KO]

Im busy with Quake 4 and DoTA (I totaly pwnd Guild Wars Nightfall) And i actually past the Croatia level in C&C3 which i am also playing.

[Yuri]

Take 2 seems to have lost my copy of Unreal Anthology, so i installed D2 again. I stopped playing this a couple years back before they released patch 1.10. So im enjoying all the skill changes those patches brought.

[Jub Jub]

Rome Total War it never seems to get old and Star Trek Legacy Buggy as hell but its close to the television as possible for me

[Toi]

I'm only playing Forza at the moment. I still have a few games to play but they.....bore me somewhat for some or other reason.

What's wrong with me? I mean, it's not crap games or anything, AAA titles and such. Oblivion, Marvel Ultimate Aliance, TDU, C&C3, Gost recon, Hour of victory (don't know what I was thinking their) etc.

Which to play...............

[Phoenix]

Still playing The Darkness, Overlord and I recently started playing Rainbow 6 Vegas again best Mulitplayer game on Live IMO.

[DeMoN]

OverLord (PC)
Colin McRae Dirt (PC)
Forza 2 (360)

[brazed]

Heroes 5.
LOTR Online

[Uncle Buck]

Rome Total War it never seems to get old

Amen to that, bro. I'm utterly hooked as well...

[maxdamage]

Forgot to mention one game that I'm not playing atm 2which is Deus Ex as I have re-played Deus Ex about 16\17 times sofar..... :D Just love that game!

[Toi]

I got Neverwinter Nights 2 yesterday. I still have to get to grips with the control scheme which at the moments seems horrible. I'll spend some time with it this weekend and see how it goes.

Get the patches immediately. Before you do anything else.

[X-Ploding_Shoes]

I've just bought both the Darkness and Overlord on 360, cant wait to play em!

[FoX]

Splinter Cell Double Agent(OMG it looks so good and is using the unreal 2 engine)
World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade

[Toi]

@ brazed: I would love to but with this connection of mine, that's, just, not, possible. I'll go check the NAG database if there's one on one of the discs.

@XplidinShoes: you will love and cherish you're copy of The Darkness, for EVER!!!!!

[X-Ploding_Shoes]

My god the Overlord is fun....minion hordes of doom and destruction, aimless breaking stuff and killing anything that moves..best game I've played all year.
As for the Darkness...its good...but it doesnt live up to the comic...now if you could summon Darklings like you can summon minions in Overlord...now that would be AWSOME!~

[LazyDemoni]

God of War 2
FF XII

[Azimuth]

Get the patches immediately. Before you do anything else.

I'll second that. Not only do the patches correct loads of showstopping bugs, but some of the more recent patches improve the visual performance significantly.

Quite frankly, the game isn't really worth playing unpatched.

[MrDeVil_909]

Just bought Worms from XBLA. What a blast from the past. So far of all the Arcade game demos I've downloaded it is the one game from the past that still felt fun.

Catan looks interesting, but I'm not convinced it's worth 80-odd rand.

[Miktar]

Catan is worth more than the Worms was, in my opinion. Then again, you have to like boardgames to like Catan (or Carcasonne, which is also on XBLA now).

[Kensei]

:D Marvel Ultimate Alliance... surprisingly addictive and contains a fair bit of depth

[Toi]

^^ I played this last week again. It's flippen long and a great game. I'm only at Act 2 at the moment, I play in short bursts every now and then as it's all I have lately.

Tons of unlockables and stuff, a great buy really.

[kHayne]

Still WoW.

To be honest, it's getting a little stale... :/

[Miktar]

I had many things I could have said here, but I actually can't pick one, so I'll just go with it:

What do you have your eye on, kHayne? Looking for a new MMO, or something offline?

[CaptainCrunch]

Online sim-racing(rFactor, GTR2, LFS) consumes the most of my time...

[Gen0cyde]

Harry Potter : Order of the firebirdie (Xbox360)

[kHayne]

I had many things I could have said here, but I actually can't pick one, so I'll just go with it:

What do you have your eye on, kHayne? Looking for a new MMO, or something offline?

I'm considering LotrO. It's new enough to be, well, new, yet comfortably alike to be able to pick up and go.

Offline, well, as a die hard crpg/action charbuilder nut, there's really nothing offline at the moment on PC that appeals. I'm basically just sitting in the Hellgate queue like everyone else.

I might grab Overlord when it's available, although reviews aren't spectacular.

[dawid22]

Eventually I am busy with Condemned on the 360, quite a good title!

If I could make a suggestion, if you don't mind the theme, hold out for Tabula Rasa. We've been checking out the beta, and so far we're quite happy with the way it's going.

As for cRPG/Action, can't really make any suggestions there, it has been rather dry, hasn't it. I'm waiting for Mass Effect myself.

[MrDeVil_909]

Catan is worth more than the Worms was, in my opinion. Then again, you have to like boardgames to like Catan (or Carcasonne, which is also on XBLA now).

These both seem very interesting, but it is very new territory to me. Never really played board games. Tried both demo's and Catan is a little easier to grasp than Carcassone.

[Miktar]

Boardgames are really touch'n'go depending on your own personal preference - I enjoy both Carcasonne and Catan offline (have both the boardgames), but that's because I play them with the right group of friends.

[Azimuth]

Nothing beats good old fashioned Risk. It brings out the absolute worst in everybody.

[kHayne]

I wants to buy that new monopoly that doesnt come with paper money, but fake credit cards and a little plastic reader thingy.
Should be good for a lark.

Also, texas hold'em is great (I'm talking real, sit down with 4 other guys and play for cold hard cash poker), but our group kinda broke up. /sadface

[Enigma]

Savage and Resident Evil4 are my games of choice right now.

[BLACKWOLF]

A mix of BF2, BF2142 and AA(Americas army)

[CaptainCrunch]

Got ResidentEvil4(PC) the other day to see what the fuss is about and started playing it with a 360 controller.
It hasn't quite grabbed me...not sure if the PC version will live up to the Gamecube and new Wii version.

Also finally got Fahrenheit today so looking forward to that.

[dammit]

Minesweeper


...the sad thing is I'm actually getting good at it. "white and nerdy" anyone?

[Gazza_N]

ZOMG! I just got my grimy paws on Conflict: FreeSpace! As a great lover of FreeSpace 2 I... am... STOKED!

[Azimuth]

I've started Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on the Wii. Casting spells is so much fun!

[Miktar]

Heavenly Sword (PS3 test unit code). It's good, very pretty, but the framerate is all over the place and it makes me motion sick. I'm also ambivalent about the combat system - it can't decide if it wants to be a frame-perfect system (Ninja Gaiden) or a brawler system (God of War).

[Drakus]

Oblivion (Xbox), I'm an Assassin level 22. This game can make you forget about any other games you're playing.

[MrDeVil_909]

Overlord, so far so good. I keep getting lost in the Evernight forest though. I wish the game had a map.

[Rebbo_Reformed]

I am playing wii sports and wii play I believe they are very good and innovative. They use the Wii's advantages very well.

[White Tiger]

Just finished playing Tomb Raider Anniversary, on PC. It's an ace on all aspects, despite the fact that you can't select NG mode, for graphics. Nevertheless, it's a fresh take on TR1 and far more emotional than the classic.

[James Donaldson]

I'm playing the highest rated game ever -thanks for pointing it out NAG!

[Miktar]

Love You! Love You!

[Azimuth]

Mwaha, I bought that this afternoon. I'll start playing it later this evening, once I've done my chores for NAG.

[Miktar]

Just rememer. IT HATES YOU! IT HATES YOU SO MUCH, IT WANTS TO KILL YOU. Seriously. You need patience for it. :/

[James Donaldson]

I've died about a thousand times already. I'm up to where you have to start a flood in the caves. Bloody tentacles!!!!

http://www.themousetrap.co.za/images/Another World06.jpg

[Miktar]

The flood in the caves is rather easy. Go right, drop down, go left, drop down, go right, shoot out pillar, run left, jump, run left, jump, water gushes you to the top, END! :P

[dawid22]

You know what is freakin sad... (please don't kill me :( ) I sold mine (Another World) with the SEGA Mega CD I had... :(

I am now busy with Scarface on the Wii and must say that it is awesome!

Hey, who said I was stuck? I'm already past there, but I like the fact I haven't got a clue what's happening and face it as it comes. Rigtht now I'm being chased and I have to fall down a hole, blow the one wall open, then run like hell as all those DBZ blast start shooting through the screen. But I keep getting killed when I reach the bars at the end. :)

Anyway, I'm also playing (my birthday presents)

Homeworld 2 (Finally found an original at CNA, because those ****ty gold label games are worse then pirate games)
Bad Day LA (krap - but came with Another World for R120 so no complaints)
Grim Fandango (turn off the high DPI option in compatibily to run in Vista)
Star Wars Battlefront II (can only run on my XP machine)
Star Wars: Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
Neverwinter Nights 2
Doom 3

[Gammaray]

I got God of War II on the weekend. The awesomeness has no bounds. Only played on Sunday and i've just killed the fat ass medusa chick. Hope there is plenty more to come. :)

The fat medusa is the halfway mark, i think.

[GeometriX]

Yay, I got Another World, can't wait to get stuck in - it's been so long since I've played this beloved game. Managed to snag it for R129 at IC, who decided to bundle it with Bad Day LA - how random do you get? Anyway, I've always kinda sorta wanted to play that, so it's a good deal.

In other news, while attempting to reinstall Guild Wars ("I'll be damned if I let iBurst's lousy ping put me off playing this awesome game any longer"), I snapped CD 1 of Factions while trying to ever so f#^%ing carefully pry it out of those death-grip clippy things. I hate my life, it is so incredibly unfair.

*Sob*

[Miktar]

GeometriX - I can burn my Guild Wars datafile to a DVD for you if you want, it has all the updates including Nightfall. You just copy it over, and voila.

That really sucks, at least you don't actually need whats on the disc, just makes for a longer download without it. That .dat file is nearly 3 gigs now.

[GeometriX]

Ooo thanks Miktar, I'd really appreciate that. Like Mr D said, it'd save me a lot of downloading as well.

[Miktar]

Okay, I'll bring in a DVD from home tomorrow and burn my .dat to it for you.

[Toi]

Playing Flatout:UC. This game is just PURE win through and through.

@Azi: I know you will love this game. It feels like everything Burnout should have been.

[Miktar]

Glad to see someone else out there things Flatout 3 is awesome - it's been getting panned in reviews and we can't figure out why. The game is flawless.

[echo]

Started, KOTOR yesterday for the first time, heard a lot of good things about the game, so i thought I'll try it. Btw, is there any way to play the game in widescreen?

[ReinHer]

Overlord FTW!

[DaBaish]

Freelancer! Juni is one hot tamalie. Bit sad they never fully focused on the voice acting for this game. Enjoyable though! Love it with a bag of Sour Cream & Onion bag o' Lays next to me! *big smile*

[Squirly]

I'm playing Psychonauts. I was stomping through the city of Lungfishopolis when the liberal media started spreading malicious lies about my person.

So I tore down their buildings and killed them with my brain.

This game rules btw, highly recommended, if you can find it.

[Weasel]

Maple story is pwning

[BattleMoose]

Supreme Commander (almost all of my free time goes into it)
WoW(When I need a break from SupCom, it can be very draining, or when I cant get a ranked match)

And you can do 2v2 with a single core, online, with minmal lag.

Yeah I know what you mean. It has TONS of stuff to do, some really fresh ones too. I mean, how many games out there lets you hurl a guy at a massive dart board and get an intense racing experience which is like the most fun EVER in one sitting? Plus it's one of the prettiest games on the 360, for those of you who care about that stuff. The amount of destruction that one can cause is amazing really.

If you love you're console, games, having fun and life.........buy this game.

[Stoffel]

Im stil playing battlefield 2 like crazy, but im looking to buy STALKER. Is it out yet? and is it worth it

[someoneelse]

Yes it's out but STALKER is somewhat dissapointing if you ask me, a rather forgettable experience after you've finished it

I'm playing Vampire: Bloodlines again and often LAN tiger woods 07 and R6 vegas. Pretty bored with the current selection of games to buy.

[Magon]

AHHA, after days of searching I have finally found my Starcraft(+ Brood Wars) and after the 10 second installation I started playing. First a skirmish match on a small 2-player map playing my fav team the Zerg. But my once great powers have left me and the 9 year old AI kicked my ass, leaving me thinking how good those Koreans must be. I shuddered and left the room.

[Toi]

I got the collectors edition of TR: Anniversary. It's good, no I mean I think that it's really good. I did stop playing it though. I can't get past the Trex with a K\B and mouse so I'm looking for one of those receivers for my 360's controller before I smash me K\B.

[Isengard]

Okami, absolutely stunning game!

[R4mzy]

Recently I've gotten: Overlord, Test Drive Unlimited, Star Wars Empire at War and Fahrenheit

[darwinshome]

Just got into Prince of Persia: Sands of time... will see how long this keeps me going.

[James Donaldson]

I only finished it a week ago. It was apart of the Best of Star Wars, but I had to wait for OpenGL Vista support from ATI. Well worth the wait. I've already ordered KOTOR II from Take 2 and hope it arrives soon.
Actually, come to thing of it, I still have to play again to get the Sith ending. :)

I'm playing Neverwinter Nights 2. I was shocked when I got to Chapter 2, today, because it means Chapter 1 was so freaking long.

[Interfan]

I got the forgotten realms collection. So I am playing through some classic rpg's. Since most of the games I will play this year only starts coming in from next month I have been playing lots of classic games to spend the time.

I recently started playing Dead or Alive 4 ( I know it's old) and it is by far the best fighting game I have ever played, also the most frustrating one.

The cpu just pummels you non stop.

[DarthStorm]

I'm playing Peggle Deluxe.

[dawid22]

Finished Condemned on the 360, quite a good title. Busy with Scarface on the Wii, the controls suit it perfect!

Yeah, it is totally brutal. I bought it because you basically have to have a fighting game on your console. But I keep it for casual social funz.

[skock]

OK, I'm going to try the whole forum thing, friend of mine said it is a great place to meet people online:

As to what I am playing

On the PSP its, LOTR : Tactics, Puzzle Quest, Tekken: Dark Ressurrection, Killzone: Liberation, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, SOCOM (1st one).

On the PC the last game is played was C&C 3, but I don't play much just because my PC is so under specced... :(.

Oh, and I played a bit of bomberman on a friends' XBOX 360 last night. Awesome game!

[Azimuth]

Oooh, another PSP player! We're such a rare breed.

Do get your claws on SOCOM 2. It's so rad.

[skock]

Well, its the only system I've got which I can play the latest games on, until Iget my 360 with my cellphone upgrade next year ;-)

I will have a look at Socom 2, its just with 6 games to finish, time is a problem, especially if you want to have a life too....

Any idea of a place/forum where I can find more PSP players?

[Azimuth]

Nah, no idea. This is the only gaming forum I frequent. And while I own and enjoy my li'l PSP, I also love my PC, Xbox, and PS2. So I'd rather hang here. ;)

You have to check out Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters too. Bugger this so-called "life" thing.

Yeah, saw Ratchet and Clank, but R499, ouch....

What happened to the for sale forum that was here?
