Just bought/currently playing/recently completed

[edg3]

The thing about Shadowrun is that it's the thinking mans FPS, I have yet to see another FPS with so much depth and tactic. The current trend in the market really showed it's true colors when the game didn't sell at all, a huge chunk of the market don't want to think too hard when they play.

I really like the game and think that if most gamers maybe had a different view on games then it could have been a huge it. I mean, the controls are sweet, so are the visuals and sound, levels are pretty well designed, large and diverse and there's enough diversity in the character classes and power-ups to keep everyone happy. Not only that, this was supposed to be so huge with the cross platforming, PC vs Xbox.

However I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, no one's playing it online anymore and there really isn't much of a single player campaign. So unless you love fighting bots all the time, don't buy this sweet game.

It would rock to play this at a LAN, I just feel it needed some of the things to be a bit simpler. Not to change it, but so that you can play it without having to rely on all the various skills and items regardlesss of how well you can kill enemies or how fast you kill them. You would for instance expect to kill fast with a minigun but I found it was quite difficult as you die very fast when not using skills.

Just bought Crysis Warhead (put S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky on the backburner for a while because of the bugs) so I'm pretty ampt for this one, although reviews said it clocks in at about 5 hours, so I'll most probably clock it in a day or two.

Clocked it last night and it is a damn good game. Even though you're on the same island as Crysis, there're are sometimes subtle sometimes major differences that make it seem like a game that is unrelated to Crysis. The only give away obviously being the aliens and KPA. Wish it was longer though. Can't wait to see what the next game is that comes out of the Crysis stable. There are so many loose ends that require more games. I think Crytek are onto a major franchise here - something akin to CoD.

Now that there is a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. patch out, I'm gonna get stuck into Clear Sky, although graphically it's gonna be a big difference.

Well, my new purchase is Guild Wars Nightfall. I've looked almost everywhere for it but couln't find it... So I'm going to do what stood in P28 of this months NAG... ORDER ONLINE!
It is my first time ordering online so I'm pretty worried/anxious/*insert the right emotion*, since what happened to my prize of the TrackMania competition (I still kick myself for it).

DONT FAIL ME BT GAMES!!!

I picked up Fifa 08 for R200 at musica (I was only borrowing Fifa 07). It's really a big step forward from 07. I have to say though, that crowd is fugly! I hope they fixed that in 09. Besides that I'm not gonna go into details but I can definitely recommend to anyone who, like me, can't see themselves spending R600 to get the latest version.

[XERXES]

Hehe, I bought STALKER about a month ago for R50 at game.
I've been playing it recently, it's quite fun, just a bit on the boring side when you're travelling, felt more like I was playing a cross between Resident Evil and Silent Hill with humans.

Playing the Sacred 2 demo :D Having fun so far

[Predator]

At the moment I'm playing. Stalker clearsky, spore.
I've just finished Half Life 2.

[GhOsT_828]

I've restarted my old favourites, UT3 and Forces of Corruption.

[.dB]

Playing through Gears on Insane, not that bad really. Actually a ****load of fun, continuously dying and all.

Also picked up Soul Calibur IV, I have very little experience with the SC series so my hands feel rather, I don't know - Dumb? Kinda frustrating as I'm pretty gangsta at fighters, but I'll get the hang of it soon methinks. Can't really commit to a character. :S

+ Sacred 2 demo.

[hideinlight]

I've restarted my old favourites, UT3 and Forces of Corruption.

I'm also playing UT3, I think...

[Chevron]

I just ordered Every Extend Extra from take2.

Is on special R88.

Ratchet and Clank Quest for Booty

[uro]

After having nothing to play for months I just got Spore, FIFA 09, Force Unleashed and Diablo 2+expansion, all in one week.

[XERXES]

Hmmm, I saw Just Cause and Total Overdose at game for both R49.99, that's not new however, but I'm thinking of buying one, at least it's cheap.

[Nferno]

Just finished Turok today (Thanks Toi) and I must say it was pretty ****ing epic. Nothing more fun than some pointless dino-stabbing action in the wilderness.

Started Farcry: Instincts now. **** me it's hard.

[XERXES]

Really? Turok was good? Was the game-length adequate?

[Azimuth]

You know, it's not good, but it's fun. That happens sometimes.

[Nferno]

Really? Turok was good? Was the game-length adequate?

Well, it was decent. Not a bad game to pick up and play every time you get some free time (that's why it took me 3 weeks to finish it :P). It had pretty solid voice-acting, the dinos looked somewhat realistic and stabbing a variety of crap in a variety of ways was pretty cool too. Not sure about length as I played it bit by bit.

So yeah, pick it up if it's on special or if you can get it from a friend. Not worth paying +-R6-700 shmackers on IMO.

[XERXES]

Well, yes, the "not good" but fun situation has happened to me more than once in my gaming lifetime...
Guess Total Overdose falls in that category?
Well, thanks for the opinion on Turok, see I dig dinos, but there aren't any real good dino games out there, except maybe Dino Crisis, but I'm interested in something new.

[hideinlight]

I despise the censorship in Turok. It's ok to blow up dinosaurs and get eaten by a T-Rex with the sounds of your bones breaking. But blood sprites from humans are not ok?
