What games do you play other than Wipeout?

[rdmx]

Of course I do.

I've been playing Unreal Torunament 2004 and *cringe* Counter-Strike for a little while now. And I'm not half bad at it either, as my attachment will attest. Also Ace Combat X but on easy ^^

Do you play anything other than Wipeout? (I'm talking to you Arnie, you live and breathe wipeout :o )

[Asayyeah]

I must reckon i did infidelity to Wipeout years ago but now facts are proscribed ;) i can let out my secret : i was a huge fan of Enemy Territory.
I liked the way you need to work as a team to complete various missions on vast maps. I wasn't too bad at that either

[infoxicated]

Recently I've completed Killzone Liberation, almost completed Vice City Stories, and I'm on my second play through of Ace Combat X - top game :+

So long as the track for Asayyeah's weekly challenge doesn't annoy me, I keep going back to Pure to take part, though. :)

[Flying_Finn]

I actually play a lot of games that aren't Wipeout. Most recent are Eastside Hockey Manager and Eternal Lands.
Here's a litlle list:
Champions RTA, BG: Dark Alliance 2, MGS 1&2, ESPN Nhl 2k4, Worms 3D.

Anyways, i'm not gonna put every ps1, Dreamcast and Xbox game that I have played so I just say this: I have played a lot of games and only three of them were/are Wipeouts.

[Zerow]

I can't get enough of the original Doom on the 360 (whenever I get the chance to switch it on). Such an awesome game.

Sonic Mega Collection Plus is also a favourite of mine. The Sonic series is possibly my favourite game series besides WipEout. :)

[Rapier Racer]

NASCAR 07 and since I just got rid of my 360 thats about it besides Wipeout for the moment, I play more NASCAR than Wipeout these days :dizzy

[rdmx]

I have to admit, I'm not someone who finds driving around a oval 300 times enthralling:o

I wish I had a 360. None of my Ps2 games are really exciting at the moment.
I played a tiny bit of ET but couldn't stand the whole regaining experience points when you quit a server thing.:frown: Plus the ultra cheap knives.

FEAR Combat is too random. Just like that comment. The games I play nowadays are always multiplayer online. If it doesn't involve blowing someones face off, I'm not that interested. Thank god I'm not the one paying the bills!:D School also makes a huge difference to what I play.

Second playthrough of AC as well, trying to unlock all missions.
Gryphus 1 down! Do you read me Gryphus 1! Sir!
I can't believe they made such a terrifying weapon! Sir! I mean, Gryphus 1...
My son's a big fan of yours! Well, me too.
Gotta love that cheesy dialogue. :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

Other than Wipeout, I play a lot of Call Of Duty 2. I'm in a competitive clan for it and play in the Euro Domination and Clanbase ladders.

Also like the Burnout series when it isn't frustrating the **** out of me, and I'm playing PoPoLoCrois at the moment.

[Mad-Ice]

Since the commodore 64 I have been playing so many games I don't even remember them all. But some of the best games on this machine are: Oils well, Boulder dash, International karate 2, Impossible mission and Barbarians of course, best chopping head move ever :D

For Sega Mega drive I have been playing: Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal combat, the rest I don't remember.

For the PS1: I have been playing all GT versions, all Crash Bandicoot versions, all Tekken versions, all Driver versions.

For the PS2: I liked GT3 so much, SSX Tricky, Timesplitters, WRC, Tekken Tag Tournament, Jak and Daxter.

For the PSP: I am playing Locoroco, Daxter, Tiger Woods PGA tour, Tekken Dark Resurrection.

These games represent a small glimpse of what I have been playing.

[Medusa]

some of the best games on this machine are: Oils well, Boulder dash

BoulderDash!!! Probably my all time favourite PC game! Currently I have Boulder Dash Treasure Pleasure on PC but it's just not the same as that original beauty!
Also I play some Mario Forever on PC.

PS1- all it gets used for is Wipeout, now!
PS2 - WO3SE, and I am just getting into ICO.

There is not enough time in the day to take away for more games!

[Task]

Mad shout out for ICO!

Beat that one a long time ago, but that was probably the start of my serious PS2 gaming.

Currently working on Culdcept (PS2), Nightmare Of Druaga (PS2), Luxor : Amun Rising (PC) and Bookworm Adventures (PC).

Finished off Steambot Chronicles (PS2) a bit back, that was good.

Hmm, from that list it looks like WO is the only game I play with no RPG elements. I'm not sure what to think about that.

[red joker]

Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake 4, Thief 3 and Deus Ex (all PC) are my regulars. I've completed them all several times but they NEVER get boring. :D

[AmigoJack]

The Sonic series is possibly my favourite game series besides WipEout. :)i also like the genesis/megadrive sonics most. im somehow grown up with them. every two or three months i take one and play it thru all zones collecting all emeralds :P i also enjoy sonic CD very much - and apart from that all the "beta" and fanmade-beta roms flying around - its really amazing. a quite simple game, but so amazing!

other games i play:
- panzer dragoon saga (saturn, excellent on every enemy)
- dark saviour (saturn, all four parallels)
...and thats it. i dont play very often, mostly only on weekends or even more seldom :/

on my pc there are currently the old shooters which i play now and then. currently quake and quake2 are loaded :P

[Renegäde]

Also a big Sonic fan here. Have been using my GBA as my portable console at the moment to play the Sonic Advance series as well as some other old skool 2D platformers.

At home ive been sucked into the online side of Gears Of War which is keeping me pretty occupied. Ive also just started Okami for the PS2 and am replaying Knights Of The Old Republic in between. :)

[mclarensmps]

hehe, i play the social enemy WOW, GTHD, (Just started, and am addicted to) F1 Championship '06, Warcraft 3, and am waiting for the next installment of Command and Conquer.

[alterego]

Hi All.

I've only the psp game console and i use it for its purposes (music, films, photo and games ;) )

I play, at the end of a session of wipeout, for calm down my nerves, Everybody's Golf....it is so slow :D

other games that i play are: Gripshift (fantastic!), Mercury, EEE,Monster Hunter, Daxter.

Read you Soon
CdRom

[rdmx]

Everybody's Golf makes you relaxed?
:O

It makes me very annoyed!
What, with the caddies going "Oh no!" every 2nd shot I make.

[alterego]

Hi Insertcoin, hi all.

...ah ah ah you're right at 1000% :D

but my thought it's related at a hard session of wipeout....ih ih ih

after this 'ordalia' the 'slow' golf it's perfect before the sleep ;)

I play golf in the bed after the evening session of wipe....eh eh eh and i slide in the deeper sleep at Phantom speed :D

Read You Soon
CdRom

[andy]

I love ace combat: the belkan war :D but find that ace difficulty is too easy :( - I also find phantom on wipeout too easy and slow :(. I also play Rainbox Six Vegas on XboxLive :D and project gotham racing 3. And, if I feel like it, I'll play fifa street 2, or better still, I'll play it for real. :)

[infoxicated]

I've not started on Ace Combat Zero, yet, but I completed Ace Combat X twice within the last month. Is ace level the same one-hit-kill scenario as it was in Ace Combat 4? :D

[KANDANG]

spending time with Burnout Dominator
:)

didn't really like Burnout Legends but Dominator goes back to its racing roots
currently enjoying it !
8)

[infoxicated]

I fired up Ace Combat Zero tonight - what can I say, bloody brilliant! :D

The flight model and physics are even better than AC04, if that's possible,and the wingman stuff actually makes sense this time around. I'm now gutted that I've waited so long to play this game - AC5 really dented my confidence in the series - it was only Ace Combat X that's got me playing again.

Really happy with ACZ six missions in - thanks for the heads up, Andy. :+

[andy]

Ive never played AC4 so I dont know how difficulties are set out. On ace combat the hardest difficulty you start with is hard. Complete the game on hard and you unlock expert difficulty - one missile will kill while enemies take two. Beat expert and you get Ace. This is mostly Expert but with much harder AI.

Ive been playing since it came out and the Ace sqraudrons are really fun. ^^ Especially the last group. Btw, what ace sqaud did you fight first?

Too bad I cant play online.

Hope you enjoy it

[infoxicated]

Grun squadron, I think their name was.

I completed AC04 in ace mode, shooting down every ace pilot at that level, too, so you could say I'm a veteran at the harder levels.

[andy]

Yep, Grun squadron are good. Those flares can be very annoying.

I'd recommend flying against rot team though as when you beat them you can buy the eurofighter typhoon which is immense and easily my favourite. I've done well over 999 sorties in my eurofighter and my sortie count has turned to pacmen and ghosts (damn you namco!!!).

[infoxicated]

heh! :D

I thought Grun squadron were okay - not too hard, considering I was in one of the three default planes (the one with the big numbers on top), which has the turning circle of a barge.

I've bought an F/A 18 before mission 4A which, along with the F-22 and AC04's X-02, is probably my favourite plane, so I'll see how I get on with that. Looking forward to seeing what the X-02 flies like with ACZ's flight model, but from the FAQ it looks like I have a couple of runs through the game to go before obtaining that.

I take it that your ace style dictates which squadrons you get?

So far I'm ranking pretty high in the Knight area - I guess it's because I've not been hitting yellow targets, plus I've been letting the odd enemy plane get away once they've been "neutralised". If I played it the way I play AC04 (the only thing left at the end is a smouldering outline of the terrain I happened to be fighting over), then I guess I'd be in the Mercenary area, instead. :D

[andy]

That's how I play. ^^

That's right, your ace style determines which ace sqaudron you fly against each time you fly at the round table. I was a knight first as well. The game lasts much longer because you have to replay the game as different ace styles to fly against all of the ace sqaudrons.

I also think Grun are easy as they don't gang up against you as quickly as the later sqaudrons do and they don't really have an offensive special weapon. Then again they wouldn't put a rock solid squadron at the start of the game in order to give new players a chance. It's only when you start flying at the higher diffficulties and on the gauntlet that their skills start to shine through.

My favourite teams to fight are gault, espada and wizard. Also, the little intros for ace sqaudrons are just plain classy. :D

My favourite planes are the Eurofighter, the SU 47 Berkut, SU 37 Terminator and the MiG 31. :)

[q_dmc12]

Ace Combat series, Grand Theft Auto series, Worms series, Socom (psp), just got into UT (unreal tournament), sometimes Doom 1/2 ...I think that covers it all. :pc

EDIT:

I love my classic games too - Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Sonic the Hedgehog, Road Rash, Tony Hawk series, Pong ;), Asteriods, Q*Bert, Tetris, Tempest, Breakout, Pitfall, Yar's Revenge - the list could go on (I love video games :D)

[adelheid]

I play Unreal Tournament (GOTY) and Quake 3, Starcraft and Dark Reign 2, and some serious old-school like Boulderdash, Kid Chamelion and Populous... I would be playing UT2004 but I need a new PC :(

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm currently hooked on Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Needs a beast of a system to play it with any decent graphics, but it's such an addictive game. Recently picked up an X1950XTX so it runs just lovely :D

[chri5]

I've been playing the bit generations (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/bit_g/index.html) games on the GBA. Check them out if you're into retro style vector graphics etc.

[mdhay]

Other than wipeout I play lego star wars, Canis Canem Edit, The warriors, Metal gear 3, portable ops, M.G.AC!D and urban chaos: riot response.And oblivion, resistance, and mobile suit gundam: target in sight (fifty quid that was!)

[mclarensmps]

Hehehe umm, right now im doing:

WoW (PC)
WoP (PSP)
F1 Champ (PS3)
GTHD (PS3)
Tiger Woods Golf (PS3)

Currently waiting on:

New GTA
Wo Pulse
New FIFA
GT Prologue!!!!!
WoHD

[Dr. Angryman]

I play:

Metroid
F1 CE
Sly Cooper
Lumines
Okami (probably the best one here)
XGRA

And that's about it! :)

[RJ O'Connell]

Games I normally play aside from Wipeout:

- Soul Calibur III
- Tekken 5 arcade
- NHL '94
- Burnout Revenge would be but there's no way to have any casual fun with it in single-player mode. Waiting for Burnout: Paradise
- TrackMania Nations ESWC 2007

[rdmx]

Now playing (ignore the fact i started the thread, ive changed my game tastes for the moment):
Wipeout Pure
W40K: DoW: Dark Crusade (never actually played warhammer before lol)
Counter Strike: Source
Warcraft 3

Play every so often:
TM Nations
UT04

Waiting on:
Wipeout Pulse (who wouldn't?)
Wipeout HD
Unreal Tournament 3

[Chill]

All Wipeouts at times,
Lumines II,
Every Extend Extra (But it pisses me off!!!!),
Tomb Raider (currently the first one),
the first Resident Evil,
Intelligent Qube, and if I had them,
Medal of Honor and Call of Duty!!!
Oh ya, Tekken 4,
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence,
Final Fantasy X,
Kindom Hearts stuff,
I have other games, but I really can't think of them right now. They must not be important enough... :p

[phl0w]

Right now I'm trying to get into FFXII, but I'm struggling. It's stupid to force yourself to play/ like a game, but I only try so hard to justify the money I spent on it. Although I finished every FF since Legends 2 on the GB, I just can't get warm with XII. 25€ and it's yours ;)

other games I switch back and forth to over the course of a day:
Virtua Tennis 3 (psp)
Archer McLean's Mercury (psp)
Every Extend Extra (psp)
Guitar Hero I+II(ps2)
ProEvo 5 (xbox)
Civ IV (pc)
Bit Generations - dot stream (gba)

In the nights it's mostly WO3 and watching our boys (Austria) at the U20 World Cup in Canada.

And yes, it's my holidays right now, in case someone wonders about the spare time I got at my hands. 3 months baby, from july to october \o/

P.S. What pisses you of with EEE Chill? I only managed to play through it one single time. Struggle sooner or later on any boss, and I don't wanna use continues much due to the fact to unlock stages for caravan mode and of course high scores (which is what we play those games for, right?)

[angelino]

I've always been into the Football Manager (ex-Championship Manager) series and go through periods where I will play it religiously haha

Also play a lot of Lumines II, Virtua Fighter 5, Pro Evolution Soccer series, Castlevanias on DS... really looking forward to Pulse obviously, GTAIV, BioShock and Fallout 3.

Play a lot of different games across a variety of genres, can't remember them all off top of head though!

[Tomahawk]

...Final Fantasy X,...

Hey Chill! A few weeks ago I've bought FFX, too. I'm now totally into that game and have already spent over 90 hours playing it. Truly a great game! :nod

[rageagainstgeorge]

I did 220 hours on FFX. Brilliant game. I'm playing Pokemon Gold at the moment. It's as good now as it was when i was a kid.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Aside from trying to get the last FAQ done, I'm gonna be putting in a few weeks playing X3 Reunion once I finish work. Gonna take that long just to learn how to play the damn thing... :p

[Chill]

Oh ya!!! FFX is great, if only my machine wouldn't have got all screwed up and quite playing PS2 games!!! It just means more Wipeout though...


P.S. What pisses you of with EEE Chill? I only managed to play through it one single time. Struggle sooner or later on any boss, and I don't wanna use continues much due to the fact to unlock stages for caravan mode and of course high scores (which is what we play those games for, right?)


I'm stuck on like the third stage... and I'm pissed off because it never seems like the game provides you with enough silver matter to knock out the boss!!! I'm like "c'mon, c'mon!!!! Give me some silver crap you peace of $#!+!!!! :D

[angelino]

@ Hellfire - Let me know how you go with X3... My brother bought it last year and I played it briefly but the system specs appeared to be too high for me in order to get the thing running nicely... it also seemed to have a fairly steep learning curve and I remember reading somewhere that back around when it was released it was fairly buggy!

Tell me if its worth the investment in time and ill dust it off the shelf :)

[G'Kyl]

If you don't mind me jumping in... You've heard right, the game is pretty demanding on hardware requirements (maybe not so much as it was then, but if you haven't got a better system since then...), but yes, it's well worth it! The universe is immensly huge and looks awesome - probably the best looking space you can get these days. About the learning curve: It IS steep, but give it a day's work and you'll be set to take on whatever business you want to get into. The thing is: X3 is time consuming as hell. It's neither fast paced nor does it make you rich within a short period of playing time. And about bugs: It should run well if you install the patches they released.

Ben

[angelino]

Not at all, G'Kyl, thanks for the info :) Sounds like something that I might give a second look... I definitely dug the setting and general vibe I got from the game. As I said it was just the system reqs plus what seemed to be a pretty daunting amount of time needed to fully understand all the ins and outs.. but I'll give it a crack when I get my new laptop for sure!

[Hellfire_WZ]

It's patched up to version 2.0.0.3 I think and they say almost all of the bugs are fixed. I must have spent several months playing X2 and loved it, hopefully this one is as good.

Learning curve is like a brick wall, you're thrown straight in and expected to experiment with everything until you find something that works for you. I'll probably start off trading or bounty hunting until I can get some factories or complexes together. Usually once you've got a number of profitable factories running you'll have a virtually limitless credit supply. Then just get a fleet of M2s and M1s and rip up anything you like :)

[Shinji16]

I play only seven games, and I'm very strict about it.

1) WipEout Pure (no other WipEout games at the moment)
2) Bemani, namely IIDX and DDR/ITG. I'm actualy training to be tournament ready for IIDX and DDR/ITG. I'm probably more enthusiastic about IIDX than I am for WipEout but it's not by much.
3) Guilty Gear (latest version, which is currently Accent Core)
4) Kingdom of Loathing
5) Cave Story (currently doing a 3hp minimal item run)
6) Misc. console game if I'm hanging out at my bf's house or at a friends house, etc
7) Misc. indie game to keep up with the scene. I'm more into indie games than mainstream games, save the exceptions of Guilty, WipEout, and IIDX/DDR/ITG. I typically find this game from www.tigsource.com

I used to avidly play F-Zero GX, PSO for GC (never went online), and few others here and there.

Also, I've seen Ico mentioned a few times, and figured I'd mention that I'm a bit of a connoisseur for games, and can recommend some great esoteric stuff, such as Ico, Rez, Every Extend Extra, doujin shmups, Phantom Dust, DoomRL, and many others.

[angelino]

Thanks for the info Hellfire :) Soon as I get my new laptop, hopefully within next month or so, I'll give it a good crack!

[andy]

My brother recently bought the original call of duty for pc so Ive been playing on its multiplayer a lot.

[phl0w]

Fired up Fantavision (http://www.spieletipps.de/dyn/pub/packshot_img/000/000/003/890/120/3890.jpg) (PS2) this morning because I couldn't sleep anymore due to the heat. Haven't played this for about 2 years. Amazing puzzle game. Requires quick thinking and reflexes and is the most viscerally rewarding experience. Anybody lucky enough to own this extremely rare 1st gen PS2 title should get it out and start playing again! =)

Will go and check out some 2nd hand stores today. See if I can get myself some PSX, DC or N64 games.

Edit: Well, didn't find anything of interest in the retro department, but picked up a mint copy of a boxed, 1st press Ridge Racer V for EUR 4.90,- \o/

[Xan17]

I'm a Nintendo fanboy so I don't play a lot of PSP games. I only have 4 games for the PSP :(

Anyways, I play: Pokemon(all versions but currently playing Pearl), Socom, Battlefront 2, Metroid Prime Hunters, Mario Kart DS and Bounty Hunters

[swift killer]

i play;

Gran Turismo HD - got GT5 Prologue on order :hyper
Forza Motorsport 2
Transformers on ps2, the one by atari, not the :turd one from japan

*when wipeout comes out on ps3 good and proper in 2008, they should release a special ps3 with it

[phl0w]

Wipeout Pure & 3SE - cant wait for HD and pulse
The topic says other than WipEout, ah well...

I got a cheap copy of Gradius V and am totally into it right now. Although it reminds me a little too much of Ikaruga, which is odd since Treasure is usually known of making games with unique styles. Also, as I mentioned in another topic I started Rapid Racer on PSX again (of course with a negcon).

[Mark Of Insanity]

I think I'll finally contribute to this topic.

I haven't been playing many games recently, when I have it's been Pure or SE (WO1 is bust). But!
In the past I have been a fan of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight Series.
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight is the best nostalgia game for me.
Jedi Academy was cheesy and cartoony, but fun, especially in Multiplayer. But Outcast was a bit moody - however, overlooking the boredom of not being able to wield a lightsaber at the beginning, it's a great game.

Really looking forward to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, looks like it'll be a blast. May have to be a PS3 in the end to play it sadly, but at least there's HD and PS3 Wipeout!1111one11oneeleven

I love my Sci-Fi, and to prove it, I can tell you that I love StarCraft. I can think of few things that can better the experience of thrashing a Korean war god with a sneaky Zerg Rush. Or something. (StarCraft II soon, yay!)

Yay for Escape Velocity too! Started off as a Mac-Only title (weird for a system with a game deficiency) and then came Nova for the PC. Yay for Sci-Fi and relatively open ended games!

For a while in my shameful past, I indulged in the oddities of 'RuneScape'. Got quite good at it too, level 93/94 out of a maximum level of 126. Looking at the highscores now, all my old friends are now among the highest ranking players. Odd, I'd be up there if I still played it.

Go even further back and I can pick up a few murky memories of the Need for Speed series. Ah, I loved NFS3 and NFS4, and when it came out NFS6. Porsche Unleashed was just shocking though, a game devoted to a brand. That would be like a Wipeout with blatant adverts. ;)

Ha, well, there are my Game Periods of the past. The mighty eons of discovery in the internet world and my fascinations of each of these games. (To a lesser extent with RuneScape, I have to say).

[Asayyeah]

I may reckon i ve brung in my luggages several fps ps2 games to fit with my recent ntsc console... COD and MOH various episodes... Wipeout-pause for me ? after those non-stop WipEout racing&talking days in Vermont :sonar
:beer

[blixabargeld]

other than wipeout? i pretty like hitman series, many fps such as half life and doom, racing like gt and outrun2 (one of the best arcade games), and old beat'em up like tekken(its amazing psp version) and mortal kombat.
I'm also fan of the two "ac" games: ace combat and armoured core..

[TheFrostE]

hmmm, well i used to only play counterstrike and counterstrike source CAL-O p4k. (miss you guys). right now i still play old school phantasy star for gamecube, love the series, hope they remake car revolution though. other than that just army of two and wipeout.

[omega329]

Freespace (well what did you expect from me?)

Other than that I don't really play any games, not even wipeout any more, I'm usually busy with my latest blender creation and when I need a break I'll either watch TV, read a book or go on freespace because it doesn't involve booting up another game playing thing. Hell, I can't even watch CGI programs any more because I keep thinking about how they animated the characters.
School holidays are meant to be a rest, I feel even more tired now than before I started them.

[Mano]

Lately i have been playing some sims, GTR thanks to Rob, then got GTR2, i do play Counter Strike, but mostly because thats what most people play online, including friends, also finished CoD in veteran and the epilogue was a lot of fun, Crysis was good to but really gave my PC a hard sweat.

....but lately this has been whats getting my 2 hours of rest after work:

Lock-On Flaming Cliffs:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=knstEsaVOMU
http://youtube.com/watch?v=rK3p3_eYXM4
http://youtube.com/watch?v=yzKFxsY-ykU

i havent played Ace Combat, any series except i think a lot of years ago in Playstation a couple of times, but i recommend Lock On, specially if you like modern combat jet simulators, and i use this controller (i do have a controller fetish, but it adds a lot to the immersion in a game), i LOVE IT:

http://cougar.frugalsworld.com/cougarpics.php

if flying a sim is this different to a jet game i cannot imagine the difference of a sim and reality; after doing some tandem paragliding, you cant beat the feeling of being in the air, now i need that sensation in hypersonic speed!!! :D

[DJ Techno]

Need for speed underground to most wanted and the drift version. U understand that. Gran turismo a spec, 4, and the new five. Maximum Carnage, command and conguer all the series, homeworld all their series.

Doom, doom 64, starcraft and their series. Waiting for the new sc2 and ghost to be completed.

Maximum tune, initial d, and more

[BulletWraith]

don't game much, but I try to go to the Arcade every few weeks as it's dieing off:-, go forth Support your Local Arcade!, there I play Daytona USA, some Virtua Fighter, a Jappanese game that you control by turnning a giant wheel/crank and the Time Crisis Games, House of the Dead games, the Raidens and my Arcade favorite Alien Vs Predator

on the PS2 I often play EyeToy Kinetic and Kinetec Combat, which are great exercise games/help keep me insanely fit for Martial arts, game games are the Sing Star series, REZ (don't have it?, buy IT!!!) Killer7 and soon to be Xtreme-G3(got it awhile ago, haven't had a chance to try it yet(loved the previous ones)

used to play other consoles/games, but these are the now
-zer0shen

[Karelmanz]

Guild Wars

MOHH1&2 on psp

[Albino Ace]

I used to do Ace Combat (since 7 years old or so!), but the recent games are now just missile and special-weapon spam. No one even thinks of actual dogfighting anymore...which was what made the series fun.

It's not anymore...so with that out of the way, aside from an occasional Ratchet and Clank, Wipeout is the only game I play anymore.

[chri5]

RezHD & Halo3 on the 360.

Orbital & Dotstream on the GBA

[Hillo]

Red Orchestra Ostfront 41-45
Half-life 2 deathmatch
Pirates Vikings and Knights source mod
CoD 4
Insurgency source mod

[blixabargeld]

@zerOshen: i love timecrisis too, i finished the coin-op version of the second game with only three credits ;)

[Nadia Elenova]

Oddly I don't play racing games except wipeout. I like Metal Gear, Devil May Cry, God of War, Guitar Hero :guitar, KOF and Street Fighter.

By the way, someone around here is waiting Street Fighter HD so much as I am? :hyper

[bloseth]

This weekend I've played a lot of Mario Kart Wii, even some online. Last night I dreamt I was racing Zargz in Mario Kart Wii (and lost, of course). Quite funny, especially since I've never raced Zargz at all...

[TearsToShreds]

I don't play games very often anymore, but when the mood arises I like playing Tekken 5, Soul Calibur 3, Jak 2 & 3 and at times World of Warcraft (although this game gets ruined for me by the big amount of assholes playing it). Once I am able to buy a PS3 GTA IV will probably be out, can't wait for that!

[Mad-Ice]

That is funny! I also played Mario Kart this weekend. On friday night to be exact. I was joining my brother inlaw ZBO1972. I have a MII on his WII and it is called Mat-ijs. In the beginning of the night I was finishing at the back of the pack, but later on I got the hang of powersliding and jumpboosting. I think it is a lot like Wipeout, gameplay wise. Otherwise it looks sooooo different. I had a lot of fun with Mario Kart, it really is a funny game and the online lobby is working well.

We also played Kororimpa, I am not sure if it is written like that? But anyway, it is a game with a ball, you have to tilt the controller to move the whole enviroment and then the ball moves in it. Very very nice game. A little bit like Kula World and Mercury Meltdown, but with this tilting system it is so much fun.

[djb]

Hey i have also been playing mario kart all weekend, ur right it does have a lot in common with wipeout, its probably the only other racing game i play with a smile on my face!!. The online game is fantastic too!! and the wheel is suprisingly intuitive to use. If anyone wants my wii code its 7870 8939 9786 1804, my mario kart code is 4038 6141 3707 :) i also like the Silent Hill games, Bioshock on the 360 is excellent, Res evil 4 had me hooked for months, but the game ive played most (other than wipeout) is probably Tetris!!! absolute perfection.

[eLhabib]

Oddly I don't play racing games except wipeout. I like Metal Gear, Devil May Cry, God of War, Guitar Hero :guitar, KOF and Street Fighter.

By the way, someone around here is waiting Street Fighter HD so much as I am? :hyper

+1 to all of the above! (except the racing games, I do play some others, although nowhere as often as wipEout)

[Darkdrium777]

On the PC I usually play Unreal Tournament 3 (Not very good at it, but I truly enjoy the Scavenger and running over people :g), sometimes Heroes 3 or Warhammer 40k Soulstorm (in VPN with friends thanks to Hamachi ;)).

On the PS3: Warhawk, sometimes WipEout (The very first one). I plan on getting HD day 1. :) Not touching the PS3 much these days I have to admit. Tha's because I do not have the time... :/

On the PSP: WipEout PulsE, WipEout PurE, WipEout 3 SE (I don't have the disc but I don't think I can find it anywhere in North America... 'Specially if I cannot buy online :/), WipEout, Rollcage and Vigilante 8 2nd Offence (Anyone remember that one? ^^).

[Harvai]

I've only got one game on my PSP, and that's Pulse. Been playing that a fair bit latley.

On my 360, I'm making my way through Forza Motorsport 2 and Devil May Cry 4 and on my PS2 I'm either rocking out with the Guitar Hero series or tearing it up on Burnout Dominator.

[blixabargeld]

@darkdrium: i play the "real" warhammer 40k :)

[Lance]

... and Vigilante 8 2nd Offence (Anyone remember that one? ^^).

One of my early favourites; I have it for PSX and for Dreamcast [which is the best version]. I also like the original Vigilante 8, and have it for PSX. The Dreamcast version of V8 scnd ed also contains all the tracks of the original V8. They're activated by a code entry.

[Darkdrium777]

Damn Lance do you remember that code!? I tried editing the ISO I had ripped from my CD since all the V8 levels are in a folder called V8 on the CD, and the V82ndOff levels are in the folder called LEVELS, but I couldn't move them to the LEVELS folder since the image was read only. Besides I am unsure if it would have worked...
I know you could activate them by switching CDs on the PSX, but since I don't have the original V8 and since I am playing on PSP, I would really like that code :) I want to play those levels so badly xD

[Lance]

I don't remember the codes, though I probably have them stored on the failing harddrive in my other computer. You may still be able to find them online, which is how I got them in the first place. I think that code was something very simple and direct, like 'oldlevels', or something like that.

[TheFrostE]

ohhhhh man vigilante 8, lance you ARE the man haha, i miss my dreamcast, used to be on bomberman online and powerstone 2 everyday for hours and hours with my brother, and cant forget my all time favorite, phantasy star online, which i still play on the free servers now for PC

[Darkdrium777]

Allright I'll try every combination I can think of, even spelling it backwards xD (like LLA_KCOLNU for every car lol)
Thanks Lance. :) Because searching online only yielded what I thought the result would be: you have to switch CDs... How am I gonna do that on PSP?

EDIT: OldLevels does not work unfortunately... :(

[Lance]

FrostE, I have the original PowerStone, but never played the second one.

----

DarkD: yeah, the codes all had to be ten letters and were pretty much all spelled backwards. I'll have a look online today and see if I can find the codes, although it's been so many years since that V8 2ndO was released that they may not be on the old cheatcode sites.


edit: found one that says the code is OLD_LEVELS

[Darkdrium777]

I will try again but I'm pretty sure it's what I wrote yesterday and it didn't work...

[Lance]

Then it may be that the old levels were not included for the PSP version. Rip.

[Darkdrium777]

What you say unfortunately makes no sense since the Vigilante 8 2nd Offense I have on my PSP is ripped directly from the Vigilante 8 2nd Offense CD I have using PowerISO and converted for PSP using PopStation GUI. So it has the old V8 levels on it. Just gotta find a way to get them if it is possible. :brickwall
If not a password inside the game, maybe edit the ISO file before I convert it.

EDIT: Tried it again, on PSXfin1.3 this time. It does not work either backwards or forward... The edited ISO doesn't even boot in PSXfin so ... :/ Ah well...

[Rapier Racer]

Recently:

[packetmon]

Silent Hill series (#2 is teh best).
GTA series (keeps me busy for a few months after each release).

[blixabargeld]

just bought MGS Portable Ops for psp, and I think it's a little developing-jewel, I recommend it to any fan of the series.
recently I'm also playing to Half Life 2 on the old xbox, it's still a very good title.

[Darkdrium777]

I've been playing UT3 online for some time. If you are playing too you can find me at the VCTF UMGLeague server most of the time (Darkdrium).

[Rapier Racer]

Well I'm currently playing this small time game called GTA IV on the PS3 :g You may have heard of it.

[omega329]

pfft! I don't play games, wipeout's a way of life.

[emwu23]

I have just finished Heavenly Sword.
At the moment GTA4 - PS3.
What a game!
Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection Online.

[lunar]

SSHD and Everybody`s Golf World Tour :hyperon my PS3. Played the demo to death so just about to start on the full game. :)

[cybrpnk]

trying to juggle GTA4, DMC3 Hard Mode, Everybody's Golf World Tour, GT5P, Ridge Racer 2 (PSP)...and my uni work...sigh...uni work sucks...

[blixabargeld]

I played a lot the demo of Flatout Head On for the psp, and I was thinking about getting the full game, but it would mean becoming weaker in wipeout.. (I need training, training and training in sight of a meeting..) :)

[Ash-Omen]

i dont actually play alot of wipeout anymore, im still hooked on the Original Unreal Tournament on PC been playing it for a good 8years, online never gets boring epic game. and ive recently got into Drift City a free MMORPG Racer on PC very good passes alot of time and has great online battle mode, i highly recommend it for those who like MMO's and racers. and ive been getting back into TestDrive Unlimited on the psp massive game 1000miles of road played for about 40hours and only around 20% completion its also online free roam.

[blixabargeld]

I played a lot TD unlimited on the psp too, really good game..:)

[Harvai]

Just bought CoD4 for my 360, so I want to get a start on that.
Besides that, Going to go the next step up on DMC4, Devil Hunter wasn't much of a challenge...

ALSO making my way through GTA4 and Forza 2, AS WELL AS Killzone: Liberation and Ace Combat X for the PSP.

So many games, so little time...

[omega329]

People at my school have started calling Halo 3 "haddock 3" as a jest to all the people who call Call Of Duty 4 "cod 4"

Ace X player here as well!

[mdhay]

Just Downloaded the HAZE Demo.... and :o


It... Is... :xmas on my HDD!!

[omega329]

I know! My mate won't stop going on about it! It came out on tuesday but he lost his PS3 controller charger, after 20 mins of calling him "s**t for brains" and "the most idiotic person on the planet" I finally agreed he might borrow my PSP usb cable. But only if he said: "Wipeout 2097 was the greatest game ever created" and he would buy Wipeout HD just so I could play on it ;)
I feel guilty sometimes... the feeling passes quickly:twisted

[mdhay]

Heh! :)

[Rapier Racer]

Yeah I like the HAZE demo a lot love the idea of the Nectar system. Also the stuff the AI Mantel troopers say and do is so funny example being the time I saw and AI Trooper come darting across the screen and smash a rebel right in the face knocking him back miles and killing him, this was followed by the Trooper standing there doing a spot of celebratory thrusting for about 8 seconds lol looked way funny :g

[lunar]

A bit of Everybodys Golf (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAasxXFOcfY) action on the PS3. I really recommend this game while waiting for HD. It has amazing and bonkers online lobbies where you create a little "Mii" type avatar and wander about and mess about in a mini Playstation-home kind of world, while you wait for tournaments to start. Online is just incredibly friendly too. Brilliantly supported, and more gameplay than you can shake a Sixaxis at.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yeah I like the HAZE demo a lot love the idea of the Nectar system.

I tried one of those melee attacks while on NECTAR as the game suggested. Trust my luck, I pick someone armed with a shotgun to do it against. He shot my face off

[Rapier Racer]

lol! No luck man, I only try that attack if somehow I missed the enemy with my gun and they manage to get close enough.

[rushin]

was playing a little LOTRO but have managed to drag myself away from MMO's and regain a small part of my life.. for the moment at least :)

now i am messing around with GT5p and Heavenly Sword (which is lovely and well worth the £12 you can get it for on ebay)

Really desperate for a good RPG, after playing online ones a lot i just cant get into single player offerings. vaguely interested in Stargate Worlds and Aion but i need something with good crafting and it's debatable if these two have that..

[mdhay]

You should try Oblivion.

[BaldyCurly]

I currently play all PS3;

GT5P
CoD4
Drakes
Burnout
Bowling (with my kids)
SingStar (with my kids and a beer or two)

I also quite like some of the mini games like Super StarDust HD, Everyday Shooter and Snake Ball.

Stopped play PSP a while back, makes my hands hurt too much.

[omega329]

now i am messing around with GT5p and Heavenly Sword

hmmm... I've just noticed Heavenly Sword is an anagram of "Enslaved Wry Ho":g
Anagrams are awesome...

[rushin]

tried Oblivion, held my attention for a while. But after playing a *lot* of daggerfall it didnt quite hit the mark.

another somewhat offtopic (hides from Lance) anagram would be 'now very lashed' xD

[Lance]

I was pretty sure that someone would pick up that meme and run with it.
You cannot hide. :g

[nakamura]

Im more into Jap RPGs. Im playing Suikoden on my PSP and Suikoden 3 on my PS2.
Just finished Grandia 3 and got Persona 3 FES to play next.

[Norfolk'n'Clue]

Company of Heroes, for the last 18 months.
TF2

[omega329]

well, I've f**ked up my left thumb again, this time with a rugby ball on a Duke of Edinburgh trip. This leaves the computer as pretty much my only option for gameplaying, therefore: more FREESPACE!:rock

[rdmx]

Sorry if this is a repost, but any keen trackmania players out there? :)
http://www.trackmania-carpark.com/car.php?id=1105

[Harvai]

ooh, Trackmania! Used to LAN that up at TAFE with my mates. I'd need more RAM in my comp before I try to play online.

[Frances_Penfold]

In addition to Wipeout Pulse and Wipeout Pure, right now I am playing Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on my DS :)

I'm also thinking about picking up The World Ends With You (Squeenex title) or Nanostray II (had some pretty highly ranked scores on the first title, back in the day) for my DS when I finish Zelda.

Otherwise, I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 for mah PSP!

Don't have a PS3 or Xbox 360 but will probably get Okami for my Wii sometime soon. And once Wipeout HD is formally dated I'll take the plunge on a PS3 :nod

[lunar]

Otherwise, I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 for mah PSP!

I got the demo of this (it`s called "Everybody`s Golf 2" on this side of the pond), and it`s great - very similar mechanics to the PS3 version. But honestly the PS3 "Everybody`s Hot Shots Golf" (whatever it`s called) is sooooo impressive - you might as well give in to the inevitable sooner rather than later and get that big expensive beastie! ;)

Sony salesman here.... :)

[Rapier Racer]

Currently playing HAZE, I suggest you people join me and fight the good fight :g

[Darkdrium777]

Is it good? I heard the reviews were average...

[TheFrostE]

ya , well i played the demo and read reviews on release, and that was more than enough to steer me away from it, the demo played like an awful halo knock-off, and the dialogue butchered the game by your comrades saying things like "meet back at the base...then we can get some chow!" (while he points at you and smiles) and worst of all "move up men, theres a valley full of bad guys up ahead, take em out." who in the hell uses the term "bad guys" in a videogame anymore. come to find out its just a bunch of spanish speaking rebels...oooooo very intense. the pistol shoots like a sniper rifle, all the gun scopes are the same, and the machine guns all essentially do the same thing, i played it on hard and it was like i was playing on easy. the game blows worse than the turok for ps3 did. end of story

[Frances_Penfold]

I got the demo of this (it`s called "Everybody`s Golf 2" on this side of the pond), and it`s great - very similar mechanics to the PS3 version. But honestly the PS3 "Everybody`s Hot Shots Golf" (whatever it`s called) is sooooo impressive -

I really should check this out-- I think of golf as mostly being a handheld experience (e.g., the various Mario Golf games plus HSG on the PSP) but I really enjoyed Mario Golf on the Gamecube too.

So how is the online in HSG for the PS3? Worth playing?

[TheFrostE]

ok so i just finished the demo that just came out for DBZ burst limit, and that game will be a definite pickup with its budokai fighting style and the online co-op/versus. that in game "events" are awsome along with very crisp and clean graphics, better than in any other dbz fighting game to date

[lunar]

HSG online is great stuff, Frances, and very professionally done. Despite the game having different names each side of the Atlantic the whole world seems to be able to play each other except the Japanese, for some reason.
Basically you create a mad little avatar character and enter the lobbies, which are unique little worlds like swimming pool-sides, japanese restaurants and campsites, where you wander about and interact with things and chat to people and even play a simple game of football while you wait to play golf.

In the lobby you can either enter pre-arranged tournaments on the servers, with up to 50 players, or set up your own match rooms, where you can see the other golfers as they play. Best thing is it`s very very friendly, however tense the online matches become, and I haven`t seen any "trash talk" at all, though as expected the top players are :eek good.

Online enables you to win trophies and prizes like extra gear for your lobby character or abilities for the main golfer characters. Also offline feats of golfing mastery like holes in one and albatrosses can win extra clothes and equipment for your lobby character. You can even get to your PSN friends list on the XMB from the in-game lobby.

[KIGO1987]

Ridger Racer, Ace Combat, Burnout, NFS, GTA and the best of the bests Gran Turismo and Wipeout. The only two true Sony titles still on the market since the first Playstation came on the market in 1995. Its somes it up, im pretty much a racing nut. Hence a Wipeout fan.

[Harvai]

Playing through NFS ProStreet on the 360.

Not as bad as I'd heard, but then again it could have been a LOT better. CRAP drift mode, however. Juiced 2 shits all over it.

[KIGO1987]

Drift mode on NFS PRO street is different than Carbon cause you've got to give the clutch a quick flick just like in real life, to loose traction on the rear to commence the drift. Fun **** to do on PRO street as well as real life.

Hmm. Wondering, does anybody drive one or know somebody who owns one of those old school Toyota Corolla AE86. The last RWD Corolla Variant with the 1.6 engine.

I would very much like to buy one in good nick. If anybody knows one for sale. There as hard as **** to find. But a damn good vehicle. Would very much like to own one now.

[Harvai]

Hmm, maybe thats what I'm doing wrong. I just give the handbrake a tap and hold the left stick in the opposite direction.

Drag mode is awesome, though

[BulletWraith]

I've just started playing Singstar again and verymuch enjoying it, cause I was at a uni party last week falling asleep in the corner(I don't drink/was bored) until I got dragged into a game after which I wasted everyone and hogged the game with one of my mates for the rest of the night
Yay! for Tom Jones :P

-zer0shen

[xtriko]

Well... quick list.
Most of all I play EA Skate for ps3, Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution series. And GT4 and GT5, King of Fighters series, Ghost Recon series, Rainbow Six series, Devil May Cry Series, Metal Gear Solid series,Tekken Series and sometimes a little game on Pro evolution Soccer 2008.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Wow, just looked back at an earlier message from me in this thread saying I was playing Oblivion... I've been playing it again for the last couple of weeks, only this time I've got twin 8800GTS cards ripping it to pieces. :)

Also picked up Mass Effect on PC which I'll get into once I get some more time on my hands. Looks and runs like a dream though.

FInally, I'm still going on Guitar Hero III. About halfway through career mode on Expert and just downloaded the new Motorhead pack. Made sense considering I'm going to see them in November :rock

[xEik]

Never managed to reply to this thread but the last 6-7 months have been 90% Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for me. It made my copy of Pulse collect dust (I don't know if this is good or bad).

[omega329]

I really need to start playing MHF2 again, haven't played it for ages...

[cybrpnk]

Tell you what I love playing the most apart from WipEout...SHMUPS!!! The vertical kind...horizontal just disorientates me for some reason...

I have a whole collection of them...PC shmups, Megadrive shmups, SNES shmups, Arcade shmups...love em...the bullet hell you get in these babies induce a kind of psychedelia that transcends everything... It's a pity shmup games are a dying genre...not many of them around anymore...

[Darkdrium777]

Not many of them are around? *Ahem*

[KIGO1987]

Atm, I`m playing CTR on my psp and music are so retro!

stevie:beer

I loved that game, brings back flashbacks of 1999. One of the circuits on that game called Hot Air Skyways reminds me of that Sol2 circuit on Wipeout Pure. Go too fast and you'll fall of the edge and you're ****ed:lol. Music is so old school. love it.

That was the last Crash Bandicoot game by Naughty Dog. Its a shame that Naughty Dog sold the naming rights on the Crash Bandicoot series, cause nearly every title after that became ****. Another Playstation original classic lost. Thank God Wipeout didnt suffer the same fate. I honestly thought that Wipeout Fusion was going to be the last Wipeout title ever for a while after 2001. But it didnt, I was ecstatic when i heard about the developments for Wipeout Pure as a release title for the PSP.

[Albino Ace]

OMG, I used to LOVE Crash Team Racing! :D

Cortex Castle will always be my favorite track in that game...although Oxide Station is a close 2nd.

[kanar]

Hi,

----> to the ps3 owners

Are you going to the church tomorrow, to see the messiah? (the TRUE one, WipeOut HD, is late) lol maybe Snake can put an end to my endless pulse TT sessions :robot...

[mdhay]

Only if you can find him. ;)

[Darkdrium777]

I really liked the last Metal Gear Solid (With the boss fight in the field of flowers) but I'm still on the fence for this one. I honestly don't know. I don't plan on getting it tomorrow though, for sure. That's partly because I don't know the whole story, so while the last Metal Gear was enjoyable as a game I was really confused with the story (Although I kinda figured out who the bad guy was hahaha).

[mdhay]

Well, all loose ends will be tied before Snake's death.

[Norfolk'n'Clue]

It arrived this am...so, so atmospheric. It dumps you straight in! Ace.

touche...i do have blast factor and super stardust hd...absolutely love stardust...one of the best translations of the genre to 3D i reckon...

[lunar]

shmups will never die, the idea is timeless. I like any quality ones, but my favourites are horizontal scrollers like Thunderforce and R-Types...... with their cheesy Space-Jazz, psychedelia and the fact you cannot rest..... I`m not particularly good at them, but I love them all the same. I want a PS3 R-Type Final 2, which is a contradiction but nevertheless would love it. :robot

[noc]

I did. For two minutes.

and...???

[BaldyCurly]

Started playing MGS4, what a game!!!

This has to be the game of the year for me so far, if you have a PS3, go buy it now, you will not regret it!

[Norfolk'n'Clue]

and...???

It's got a really complicated HUD. I was on vent with some forum mates and they were busy mining somewhere or other. Anyhow, I launched, worked out how to speed up and slow down, and quit. I was tired, and wasn't really in the mood for learning a whole new game as big as that one. Also, I could see me REALLY getting into Eve, and it's not something I have to time to devote to - so I took the sensible option of not getting into it :)

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I,ve played
1)Wipeout 2097
2)Daytona USA
3)Ridge Racer Type 4
4)GTA Vice City Stories

[cybrpnk]

Started playing MGS4, what a game!!!

This has to be the game of the year for me so far, if you have a PS3, go buy it now, you will not regret it!

Got it the day after launch...straight after I handed in my 130-paged thesis...far out...my brain was melted by then...

Been playing since then and I have to say...this game has so much polish...I'm tempted to buy another copy just for keep sake...

I've been distracted with online at the moment...if you're ever on...look for my psn id...:)

MGS4 friggin rocks...

[mdhay]

Completed MGS4 twice.

[omega329]

Tried the babylon 5 freespace conversion 2 nights ago, pretty damn awesome, also recently got Halo CE, amazing fun, who would know that a mouse would make FPS games so easy?
Ooh, Md's on 666 posts :evil

[Darkdrium777]

Playing with the early released Spore Creature Creator :P It's a lot of fun. I cannot wait for the whole game.
Also playing some UT2004 with Ballistic Weapons enabled. Man this mod is awesome. :g

EDIT: Well it seems they got to FileFront so you gotta wait until tomorrow to get the Creature Creator from here (http://www.spore.com/getSpore/index#ccgetspore);)

[Harvai]

Ballistic weapons? Isn't that where the weapons fire INSANLEY fast? Because that's awesome!

Been playing some Ace Combat 6 on my 360. ****, am I loving that! Gonna pick up Race Driver: GRiD on thursday as well. Anybody else got that?

[rdmx]

I've got GRID but on PC.
It's pretty damn awesome - no matter how rubbish I am at it.

[Lance]

Ballistic weapons? Isn't that where the weapons fire INSANLEY fast? Because that's awesome!



Maybe in this particular game you're talking about, those particular weapons have a high rate of fire? Otherwise, ballistic just means that the projectiles are fired with a single impulse, like a bullet or a cannonball, or a rocket that burns all its fuel long before reaching its destination. Once the original firing impulse is exhausted, their path is affected by gravity, air drag, and direction of wind currents. Rate of fire is not related to whether it's ballistic or not; it's determined by other things, so ballistic fire could be fast or slow.

[Darkdrium777]

Those particular weapons, as you say, not only fire incredibly fast but are also incredibly deady. :g And with the added gore it makes the game so much more violent xD

Don't worry, I'm nice to those around me :P

[Vincent_VII]

I picked up Ace Combat Zero and Dirge of Cerberus for PS2 the other day.

Zero is a great game. Best physics and gameplay of the series on the PS2, IMO. The story line is a little lacking when compared to 4 or 5, however.

Dirge of Cerberus is actually pretty fun. I don't understand the hate this game has attracted. It may be linear but the gameplay is solid. The only issues I have are the confusing menus you are required to navigate in real time and the hud that is equally confusing.

[RJ O'Connell]

I've got GRID but on PC.
It's pretty damn awesome - no matter how rubbish I am at it.
I'd get it for Xbox 360 if I wasn't holding up on sending it in for service.

Speaking of which, I reserved my Collector's Edition copy of Soulcalibur IV this week. Artbook, excludive content and a shirt one size larger than what I actually wear are included - I'm stoked. ^____^

[alterego]

Hi All.

This message only want to tell you that I'm stay away from Wipeout for a little ..... in this period I'm relaxing myself with Everybody's Golf 2 ......a game .... very 'slow'! :D

Read You in HD future (I Hope!)

CdRom

[Mad-Ice]

Good to hear you are relaxing, not good to hear you are staying away of Wipeout, but so good to hear you will be back with Wipeout HD!!:nod

Greetz Mad-Ice

[Harvai]

GRiD is AWESOME! Nevermind my car at the end of a race barely resembles the car that started the race, but its awesome nonetheless. The damage system is fantastic to watch in slo mo, especially when you've hit a wall, veered off to the left and collected another car.

@ Lance: Cheers, I'll remember that for later! :P

[emwu23]

Completed MGS4 twice.

I did the same.Yesterday I finished 2nd time.
Today I started on big bos hard.
This is one of the best game I have ever played.
Im not sure if not The best.

[Nadia Elenova]

I've already finished MGS4!!
Beyond Good and Evil 2 seems to be more than a dream now, that's other game that can keep me away from wipeout a while (shame on me :redface: ).

[mdhay]

Finished MGS4 6 times!

Damnit, I need to get a PS3.

Ace Combat X another sweet PSP title. Yeah thats the best weapon to shoot Fenrir down (QAAM). Spot on Omega. You need to stay closes to them in the dog fights to shoot them out of the sky. I hate how the last Ace Combat went to the goddam cntbox. Would of been better on the PS3. Its a shame i would of bought it too. Ridge Racer suffered the same fate also in it sixth installment. Im still waiting for Ridge Racer 8 and Ace Combat for the PS3, guys a Namco Bandi.

[omega329]

Yeah, I've also had the QAAM miss, carry on turning, come back round, and hit the fenrir!

Latest update from the Hellfire Games Library(tm) :P

MASS EFFECT - PC: **** me, it's been a long time since I was properly addicted to a game. Amazing. Pretty much summed up in one word. Graphics are brilliant, immersive storyline, plenty of side missions you can embark on at your leisure. Plus you are completely in control of your character's dialogue, there isn't a sentence he says in the whole game that isn't chosen by you. How you act can also affect the storyline too, so after finishing it as a goody-goody I'm now playing through it again as an arsehole. Squad control can take some getting used to, but it's only really necssary on higher difficulties.

DRAGONBALL Z BURST LIMIT - PS3: Good to have the odd bash on but not one you'll get a lot of play out of. Typical Dragonball affair really, if you've played one you've played them all.

CRISIS CORE - PSP: Great games are like buses, you wait ages for one and two come along at once. It probably helped that I'm a big Final Fantasy VII fan, but my god this game is good. Takes a big step away from the turn based combat of the original PS classic, but the real-time action orientated combat has its own appeal. There's also quite a few nod-backs to the original for fans to spot. There's an absolute plethora of missions that can be attempted, most of which are much more difficult than the main story, adding an extra element of challenge. And of course, the story is brilliant and links very well into both Dirge of Cerberus and Final Fantasy VII.

GUITAR HERO AEROSMITH - PS3: And to finish, a game I am very disappointed with. I do like Aerosmith, certainy not criticising their music, but I can't say it's translated very well to Guitar Hero. I found it a mix of boring and frustrating. Boring in that the style of music never seems to change, and frustrating in that the hammer-ons and pull-offs don't seem to work as well anymore. I can easily do a run of hammer-ons in Guitar Hero III, but a very similar run in this game doesn't want to know. I'm expecting better from Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Metallica.

QAAMs, eh? I'll give 'em a shot, since XLAA's don't do ****

XLA6's in AC6 are made of win and awesome.

MLB Power Pros (http://www.amazon.com/2K-Games-MLB-Power-Pros/dp/B000V1OURC) for the PlayStation 2. A fun and somewhat realistic baseball game wrapped up in a super-deformed shell. Fantastic stuff. It gives me a chance to distort reality so that the Atlanta Braves do not underachieve each and every week. ;)

[mdhay]

Echochrome (Infinite Corridor) FTW!

[Harvai]

Hellfire: Must agree with you on Mass Effect. I'm on my first playthrough, but being half good guy and half arsehole. Stupid vanguard and lack of assault rifles.

Crisis Core's really good as well. Not that far into it and I'm sure I hate Genesis...

[Hellfire_WZ]

I will admit though the DMW will begin to piss you off at some point, I guarantee it ;)

[Harvai]

Yeah, I know. Sometimes it pops up when I'm changing commands and does ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING at all.

[Axel]

Playing No More Heroes for the Wii. A very fun game for Otaku lovers like me :D

[RJ O'Connell]

Got the Xbox 360 back, now I'm re-completing Forza 2.

I sure love how I can't recover DLC I paid for, having to buy it all back makes me so happy...[/sarcasm] :brickwall

[eLhabib]

call support, if you've purchased it before, you'll get it again for free. you'd be stupid to pay twice.

[RJ O'Connell]

Thanks, Martin.

That means all I'd really have to pay for is the last car pack that came out in March. (mmm...Ferrari 430 Scuderia...)

[cybrpnk]

I've only recently discovered the joy of Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2...I initially thought it was super tactical and was kinda turned off by the possibility of emphasising too much on planning and not much action...but after playing these 2...I would highly recommend this game to

a. fans of the book...
b. gamers who love shooters with a tactical twist that requires thinking and not just run and gun twitch trigger fingers...

the terrorist hunt mode is reason enough to buy this game i reckon, where the game plonks you in a pretty big level with about 40ish (this is only normal density of enemies....configurable) enemy bots that have a pretty impressive level of AI...I have rarely encountered a set piece repeated more than 3 times...

anyway...for those who love shooters with a twist...go get some...

[kowareta|vojeet]

Today I played In the Groove with my girlfriend and she improved a lot.

In the evenings I'm playing Beyond Good and Evil and Super Smash Bros Brawl.

And on my PSP I'm playing Crisis Core and yes, DMW is :turd!

[phl0w]

My deprivation of sleep accumulates to alarming rates thanks to Team Fortress 2. :frown:
Oh, and I'm playing Fallout 2 again, mainly because it's one of the better games that will run a MacBook...

Playing Mass Effect too. The environments are stunning :o Can't say much for the story since I'm at the beginning but it looks interesting so far.

[Harvai]

I sure love how I can't recover DLC I paid for, having to buy it all back makes me so happy...[/sarcasm] :brickwall

What sort of DLC is there for Forza 2? I really should get Xbawks LIVE so I can play games online with my mates. Hell, I should start up again, Ace Combat 6 and Mass Effect are sappin' all my playtime...

[RJ O'Connell]

There are two new tracks - Twin Ring Motegi with 4 variations (including the oval used in the IndyCar series) and Road America.

And at around 40 new cars, including the latest Audi and Peugeot LMP cars, the Audi R8, new M3, new Lancer Evo, Murcielago LP640, 911 GT2, and a shiatload of others. The GT-R that just launched isn't available, nor is the fugly hatchback WRX STI, but still, worth the money.

[OveReAction]

Wipeout is just a fun game, but Burnout is my favorite racing game. Its not just racing, its also destructive, fun, outta-this-world.

[Kyonshi]

Ok let's see...

I'm still playing TES IV: Oblivion. I just can't get enough of this game. And when i'll be bored (again) i will come back to Fallout 3 (again). Rinse and repeat.

I'm on to finish Dead Space before the 2nd game comes out.

I play some Rock Band 2 with my roommate from time to time.

I play some Army of Two: 40th Day and Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 co-op online with another friend. Again in FPS, i play Battlefield Bad Company 2 and still play some Unreal Tournament 3 from time to time.

I will learn soon how to play NHL '10. The great performance on Montreal Canadiens in playoffs inspired me to buy it :P

I just bought The Price is Right recently, cuz it reminds me of my childhood!

[UB3R~JKP]

NHL 10= Strictly online versus since they destroyed the Hockey league :/
PES10=Rarely, when World Cup starts will start playing again :)
RDR=Really good but since my dad is ahead on the main story mode I just watch him :D
Yakuza 3= 1/2 through second playthrough!8)
PES6(PSP)= Nostalga'ing
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite(PSP)=Intense fun:twisted

[OBH]

The only 3 games i really play these days are...

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite PSP (waiting for fully online one!)
FIFA 10 - PS3
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (360)

Tempted to pick up killzone 2 again for a mere £8 :)

[DreamyElf]

gran turismo 5: prologue, got a dfgt wheel a month ago that changed my experience with the game^^
fifa 10, i'm playing a couple of matches online almost every day :)

[stin]

I`m planning to buy Split Second for PS3 but I had not touch my console since convention due golf and other things like working around my house and trying to get up to standardised this year.

Again, I am working really hard at my golf game atm due Club Championship starts on a week on Monday!

stevie:)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Currently immersed in Red Dead Redemption but I'm also having the odd bash on Split Second online. When I'm on the move, I'm playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Espgaluda 2 on the iPhone

[Woopzilla]

I'm currently replaying Doom 3 and making a video walkthrough for it... Yes, there's a lot of them out already but it's one the few in HD. :D

Link is here if you're interested for the videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/WoopzillaWalkthrough

/end self promotion :g

[Ace3cube]

I just bought Wakeboarding HD lol
I know it's a shame :P

[Weltraumaffe]

blur is really great

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-blur/100536

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I recently bought the DLC for Borderlands, and I must say, I'm very impressed. It really reminded me of how much I loved that game.

[OneAVGNFan]

I'm currently replaying Doom 3

Just got the original on my itouch and already I am addicted to it.

[OBH]

taring it up on left for dead 2 and bad company 2 on the 360, if anyone has either please let me know :)

Bad Company 2 : Vietnam addon in the winter!! :beer:+

[ACE-FLO]

BLUR...

Seems like I found a Combat Racing game I love, and it aint WipEout :g not that I dont love WIpeout ... now there's some serious competition between the two, is what I'm saying :g :g

[KIGO1987]

I have seen alot of people on my freinds list playing BLUR. Mostly Wipeout Folk. Must have game, as everyone is telling me. Andy's constants messages, Pirhapac's videos, and now good mate has got the game now too.

[UB3R~JKP]

From what i hear Blur is VERY uneven in weapon distribution, not sure if I want it. :/

[KIGO1987]

all my rental stores around my area have a stingy PS3 game collection. If i could try Blur for a night, then i would be more certain if i get the game or not. It looks good, from what i hear it is good, i just want to try it out for myself.

[ACE-FLO]

From what i hear Blur is VERY uneven in weapon distribution ...

heard wrong. Weapons aren't generated on a pad, they can be seen from a distance and are colour coded... Sure you aint got HD-FURY mixed up with BLUR?

If anything, the weapons mechanic on BLUR is better than wipEouts' one. For one, in WipEOut, you can only pick up one at a time, whereas with BLUR, you can cycle thru a selection of up to 3 weapons, and use them tactically to get ahead - and beleive me, in this game you need 'em.

Then there's the getting ahead part - In HD-FURY if you are 5 secs + in front, you can breathe easy, right? Not in BLUR, things vhange in a slit shaved second - blinking is for the weak :g it's a great game, wasnt expecting myself to fall in love with it this much, schit damn - I wanna play it now (and its 2:30am) :D

[UB3R~JKP]

Cool.
But I just got Ridge Racer on PSP so i'm set for a good long while + Split/Second is on my list to buy at the top, so maybe i will give blur a look in if i ever have spare money doing nothing :)

[yeldar2097]

Then there's the getting ahead part - In HD-FURY if you are 5 secs + in front, you can breathe easy, right?

Depends who's behind you ;)


I'm on FFXIII at the moment, then moving on to Heavy Rain...then God of Wotsit...then Uncharted 2...then hopefully reclaiming my life back :lol

:g

[KIGO1987]

You've been on FFXIII for ages Yeldar, just getting up for dunny, food and sleep breaks. Must be playing that game for at least 20hours a day.

Then again a game like FFXIII would make a person do that.

[DreamyElf]

it took me 53 hours to finish the main story in Final Fantasy 13 and 110 to platinum it! :dizzy
i don't know how many adamantoises i've killed!
good luck yeldar :D

[rdmx]

Wow! This thread is still going :)
Nowadays, MW2 and Heroes of Newerth are my poison though I'm still fairly terrible at the latter.
There's also something about reading old posts of mine that makes me cringe - is this normal?

[ACE-FLO]

Oi, I'm the king of cringe - trust me, I got some real bad ones in here :D

I got an EYE PET, :D not kidding ya, his name is mojo :lol I'll see if I can get a pic up on here :paperbag

Back at RDMX ^ see what I did there? More from the Cringe Canyon later... ;)

[mdhay]

Oblivion. I know I've already posted this somewhere, but I got it on my laptop, and I don't think I'm ever leaving the house again. Runs like a charm, if only Fallout was as good....

[Hellfire_WZ]

Make sure you get yourself the natural environments mod. Makes the game look incredibly sexy.

I've gone for a bit of nostalgia this week and I've gone back to Super Smash Bros Melee... and as with all fighting games I'm getting my arse handed to me on a regular basis

[mdhay]

I will. After I'm done staring in awe at Deadly Reflex. ;)

[RedScar]

Been playing a ton of League of legends lately. Free and huge fun.

[yeldar2097]

Super Smash Bros Melee...

Best game ever, bar none.

Never actually had a GC but I got so into it round a mates house that I practically ended up living there. Nowadays I emu it on my laptop and whack it on the telly. Not the same without GC controllers but PS3 controllers work just as well :g

+1 for Charlie :g

[Woopzilla]

Finished playing Doom 3 (and it's walkthrough) and am now starting on RtCW aka Return to Castle Wolfenstein!

First of several videos to come (in HD quality of course): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVVryXYlgvw ;)

[UB3R~JKP]

Gran Turismo PSP!
Greatest racing game on earth ;) Until GT5

[RedScar]

I reinstalled NFS:MW, good fun and happy memories of it

[DreamyElf]

i've played some Ninja Gaiden S2 after a 2 month break.
i thought i would suck but i was surprised that i haven't lost my touch with Ryu! XD
the spider ninja clan ninja's felt like flies in fear when they saw Ryu against them lol
izuna drop always works like a charm^^

NGS2 makes GOW series combat look so easy and simple.
now if only the online was lag free...

[AppleJack]

I'm back to playing Wipeout HD after not even touching it for several months. Been playing Borderlands on PS3 (juist recently got my first-ever platinum...awesome game).

I also have a 360, so I've been playing MW2 (also have it on PS3), Gears of War, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2 (I have Bioshock 1 on both systems), Forza 3

[DawnFireDragoon]

i've been playing a ton of Blur. i love it. it's like Wipeout, Mario Kart and Burnout all had a baby.....a beautiful, fast, crazy baby.

i recommend checking it out if you enjoy any of those three games ^

also, single player, online AND four player split screen. great party game! :)

other than that, lately i've played the Halo Reach beta (it was basically halo!) super street figther IV, and red faction guerilla, because sometimes smashing stuff on Mars has to be done. :D

:)
