The Last Game You Bought?

[IDReaper]

Just got Left 4 Dead 2, was on sale this weekend and is a much better game than I expected, I am hooked! If any of you guys are PC gamers to hit me up my steam and X-Fire are both the same IDReaper.

[RedScar]

I just watched the Gametrailers review of Super Street Fighter 4. I'm horrible at fighting games, but even I wanna get it now. That and modnation racers (May 25) are looking to bring me back to my PS3.

Addition:
Added IDReaper, although I don't have L4D2

Added. :D

[OBH]

EVERYONE should play god of war 3.
Ive never played a game with such an epic beginning. Or anything so brutal!!

An example of its brutality - is having to click in both analogue sticks to poke someones eyes out,l then tap l1 and r1 repeatidly to tear someones head from their shoulders with your bare hands!! :g

The action going on around you is incredible.

[KGB]

It gets a whole lot worse/better :eek. Some of the fighting is insane on Titan. I broke two controllers playing it :frown:.

[Mr Phlanj]

haydn wont be getting to those bits without my help anyway :P

[OBH]

get over yourself :) you did one bit!!

[SenGoku81]

It gets a whole lot worse/better :eek. Some of the fighting is insane on Titan. I broke two controllers playing it :frown:.
I sadly must wait until I have the space bux required to get my own PS3 again until I can crack back on with the GOW3 continue rinsing sessions. My friend got it just before he left for Baku and we were loving the hard as nails difficulty, about 20-30 continues for Hades alone lol.
Sadly we did not finish the game before he left so we did not unlock Titan diff, but I eagerly look forward to it.

Very much one of my favourite franchises. There's always a good level of consistency in the quality of the series. No nonsense, balls to the walls mindlessness which is welcome once in a while in a video game. ><

[UB3R~JKP]

Pure!
Holy crap, awesome game. Mainly bought it as this is the same people who are making Split/Second.

Great buy, 8.7/10

[KGB]

haydn wont be getting to those bits without my help anyway :P


get over yourself :) you did one bit!!

Marx or Gallagher brothers :p.

@SenGoku81, I didn't even bother with Chaos mode, I wouldn't of got past the first battle.

[SenGoku81]

@KGB1971

Really that bad?!
That just makes me itch even more to play it, I'm very much a glutton for punishment. I can only imagine that there is a trophy for beating chaos mode without using a single continue. That would be a challenge ^^

[UB3R~JKP]

Pure, Tis' pretty awesome

[OBH]

Got Red Dead Redemption yesterday.

Very unique so far, a more slower paced wild west gta (except no cars to rob). Got great characters, dialogue, gun battles, and hilarious events with passing strangers.

I could understand if gta fans didnt like it though, its nowhere near the same sandbox-mayhem-filled-gun-fest that gta is.

However its very emersive, and the weather effects are superb :+

[ACE-FLO]

Ah, I'm so gonna get this, this weekend - together with borderlands... Am stiull loving Mirrors Edge atm also :)

[UB3R~JKP]

ModNation Racers in 21 days xD
CAN'T WAIT!

[OBH]

Ah, I'm so gonna get this, this weekend - together with borderlands
ive been tempted to pick up borderlands again :) cant remember what i traded it in for now.

Also might pick up killzone 2 for £8!!

[mdhay]

Yeah, we hadn't played it yet. ;) :g

[JJPAP]

The last game I thought I was going to buy ... :(

Went ´round my home town today, visiting 5-6 game shops, to get a copy of Red Dead Redemption, but with no luck. Sold out everywhere!
Even the online shops don´t know, when they´´ll get it in stock.

How fun it would be, playing online vs. all the familiar names from the zone!
Shooting down Haydn riding a horse, would be my primary goal :lol

Well, one of these days ...

[OBH]

i feel a duel coming on, sir ;) youll be dissarmed and getting dragged behind my horse before you blink mate :beer

one thing to note about red dead is normal aiming (auto aiming) makes the game painfully easy so put it on expert, and try to never use dead eye. Seeing as you never fight more than about 8 enemies at once, being able to que up 6 shots that nearly never miss makes even the mexican army die instantly.

Also buy the bandana early :) that way when you fancy a bit of carnage you can equip it and not suffer consequences.

[JJPAP]

youll be dissarmed and getting dragged behind my horse before you blink mate

Hahaharh :lol
How humiliating that would be ... Being dragged by a horse from town to town ... :paperbag

Hopefully I´m getting my fingers on it soon enough! Looks splendid from what I´ve seen :)

See you in some dusty mudhole of a town, mate :D

[SaturnReturn]

I bought Assasisn's Creed II. What's amazing is I've actually been playing it. Almost 2 whole hours of a new non-WipEout related game. I'm so proud of me right now. :D

[MiguelX69]

God of War trilogy. I must say it is a good game but I expected more. Guess that was a little bit to much money spent onto it... :\

Now waiting for Uncharted 2 at a low price, until then, Wipeout HD all the way.

[OBH]

im very dissappointed at red dead redemptions online to be honest.......
"free roam" my arse. just a few enemy hideouts and barely any npcs around :bomb

[Hellfire_WZ]

Bought Metro 2033 a couple of weeks back and my god what a boring game. Even the whole "scary" aspect of it just didn't work for me. At least I got some play time out of the free copy of Red Faction Guerilla I got with it :)

I am absolutely loving Split Second though! AI gets really irritating after a while but the whole concept of the game is just great

RDR is also biding it's time here too ;)

[MiguelX69]

Uncharted 2. And i'm loving every second of it.

[Harvai]

I bought Blur the other day, and goddamn is it good! It's like if Burnout and Wipeout had a lovechild...

[mdhay]

Will be getting Peace Walker (hopefully) sometime after it comes out. :D

[UB3R~JKP]

Gran Turismo PSP Special Edition :D

[MiguelX69]

Joe Danger. A fine piece of game. Pretty funny too. It may sound too expensive but it is worth it.

[xEik]

My copy of Demon's Souls has been dispatched. Awaiting delivery. :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

Just got mine, will play in a bit :)

[omega329]

Got MGS Peace Walker on Thursday.
This game is fantastic, and, IMO, a must-buy for those with a PSP

[mdhay]

I envy you. >.< My mum dragged me into town and made me look at the games in HMV, just to torment me. :/

[KIGO1987]

Got Blur yesterday.

Very good combat racing game. Lost my voice yelling at the tv on several occasions, one in the world cup, two this game, bastards nick your weapons just like in CTR :p

Most of the French on my PSN list have it, minus a couple of the old farts still. Mate Andy and ranga Gaz, oh yeah, Ace too, yet to try online with it yet, heard voice conversations work with this game online. Should be interesting to try later on.

[yeldar2097]

That's the last game I bought too :D

Like a less pretty version of wipeout with a different kind of skill. More frantic too. And it works.

No BRs though... :lol

[stin]

Kigo, is that Blur is similar to CTR?:|

stevie:)

[ACE-FLO]

Stevie, it is kinda... but like Yeldy said - it's frantic. But I can only play an hour of it online before my brain melts :D Imagine CTR in real world cars - racing in real world environments/roads - add 8 weapons and you got mayhem ensuing.

I couldnt beleive it when I saw Hackney come up on the track selection menu, Hackney East London LOL, and the best part for me was that there are three tracks from Hackney in the game :D I still suck pretty bad at them though.

Kigo also played online with Yeldar, my cousin - Man_Like_Jones, and myself in a few races earlier - that was some crazy schit :) This game is pretty mad (in an awesome way) ;) And yeah, as mentioned by Kifgo, the headsets work in-game (thank God there's a block feature to stop those whiny fools who scream "WHOOHOO" everytime they get a fackin' nitro pick up :D and worse :lol) otherwise the game has some other useful feaures I've not come across before - like Team Racing, not tried it yet - coz I gotta progress a bit further in the game before I do :)

Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, I forsee a lotta game hours being thrown away at BLUR.

[KIGO1987]

Kigo, is that Blur is similar to CTR?:|

stevie:)

Yes, in a way. Like in CTR when you need a crate, you are going for the crate, you are just about to get the create, and the bastard opposition steals it from you, usually followed by swearing ;):lol


but like Yeldy said - it's frantic

Yep, brilliant, intense, bit like eliminator phantom elite, minus the bullshit barrel rolls.

Was some good races, yeah those tosser people from the US talk too much online when they get a boost or something, that changed when i turned my headset, nothing like intense Aussie swearing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI1XuN0caJk&feature=related) for the rest of the world to hear, lol. Your cousin sounds like Andy and Gaz put together Brighton/Surrey/London pommy accent. I still love the game even though i have one controller left now thanks to it. Need to do some more online multiplayer again, i see a heap of French playing this game as well, havent raced any of them online yet.

[Harvai]

Very good combat racing game. Lost my voice yelling at the tv on several occasions

Try a few 20-person online races 8). Now I know what you're all on about with 'cambodia' races!

I bought Battlefield Bad Company 2 last week, and I'm less than impressed with the multiplayer. I mean, It'd be great if I lived in a country with decent internet, but the delay and lag I get down here makes it rubbish.

It also put me into the same Rush game four times in a row. Single player's top notch, though!

[UB3R~JKP]

had the chance to get blur yesterday, but opted against it. played it at a cousins house. . .thank god for that.For a game that mocks mario kart in it's commercials its sure got a cheek considering mk is better in every area. You can tell a game is desperate when it has to have a pop at a vastly superior title, got MAG instead.

[ACE-FLO]

MK better in every way? for young adolescents maybe :D

Playing a game at a mates yard, for a quick hour or so isn't really gonna give you an idea of this games aweosmeness - for a start, the class D events are like venom in w'o"...

It's not just another racing game - in BLUR, finishing 1st doesnt always get you the most points, or fans - or unlocks cars and events for you. The formula is complex, win fans by completing in race fan based events, whilst still combat racing - to unlock something opr another. I could go on, there's a lot to do.

An example, had the game a week, not wanting to play through the third grid until I've mastered the second one (which is proving difficult) had this been CTR, career mode woulda been so clocked, it'd just have to be about online afterwards...

OK, the career mode is hard, even on medium difficulty :D Coming first is childs play in racing games - but this one its different, I gotta come first and complete the in race challenges and fan challenges too? OK :? Gotcha :D Interesting requirement and test of skill there...

Ah, the fact that I can choose real cars (not buckets with wheels ala CTR) with simulated handling physics, which take photo-realistic damage is a nice touch.

The online mayhem and the reward system in-game is pretty much perfect imo.

The only thing I didn't like about BLUR is that you can't import your own soundtrack - that's it. Having said that, the ingame soundtrack is pretty good too :)

[SaturnReturn]

I think that's 8 posts in a row now either about or referring to BLUR. It does have its own thread so let's please use it folks.

Thanks.

[KIGO1987]

You should of put those 8 posts into a new thread about Blur Chris.

It seems there are alot of folk from the Wipeout universe that play this game now days.

Bugger it, ill make a thread about it, get everyone together.

[SaturnReturn]

Should I have? Firstly, it doesn't need a new thread, because, as I already said above, one already exists. Secondly I considered moving the posts into that thread, but some of them were actually still on topic and/or didn't have much off topic discussion. Also, Harvai's post also referred to other recent purchases. If I'd have moved all the others then his comment about BLUR within that post wouldn't have made much sense. If I moved his post as well then the comment about other games wouldn't have made any sense in a BLUR thread. So I decided to leave them and just ask people to use the thread about BLUR that already exists (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7305), as conversation was becoming extensive. If anyone wants to continue the discussion from here in the other thread, then that's still possible by way of a link.

[KIGO1987]

14th of March it was created, never noticed it. That other Blur thread had no tags on it. Didnt register in the search when i was trying to find a Blur thread too.

Best to merge the posts then.

Right just tagged that thread then.

[slimjim]

i recently got demons souls

[OneAVGNFan]

Just got Wip3out yesterday for 5 dollars

[Dan Locke]

It's the best racing game ever...

...until you get good at it. :frown:

If there ever was a game that needed selectable difficulty, it was Wipeout 3.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Mushihimesama Futari... and it is kicking my arse so hard its boots will permanently smell of fart.

If you haven't heard of this one, just go on YouTube and search for "hardest video game boss ever" and you'll know what I'm talking about! :)

[OBH]

Ive just been playing the multiplayer demo of Teansformers: War For Cybertron (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/multiplayer-overview-transformers-war/65224) and its a whole lot of fun :D:+

like it very much, and not just becuase im a fan boy :D

[DreamyElf]

got my copy of Demon's Souls today^^

it's extremely punishing but very rewarding too...

[slimjim]

its a really good if not the most frustrating game out there

[OBH]

i could never 100% make my mind up about demon souls. some aspects were brilliant. but considering how good the graphics were at times, it didnt often show it to you :(

i was surprised that an "online" game had no sort of friends list. I was looking forward to helping a mate out with a boss or something but it doesnt quite work that way.

I do hope demon souls 2 is made however, one thing i cant fault it for, is its total unique style. There is nothing quite like demon souls.

[LOUDandPROUD]

I beat Dead Space over the weekend and was sad when it ended...incredible game. One of the scariest and most intense games I've ever played. Really looking forward to the sequel.

Now I'm on to Batman: Arkham Asylum and I'm loving it so far!

[mdhay]

Borderlands, on PC. Awwww Yeah. :g

[zeeZ]

DeathSpank ^^
Preordered NFS:Hot Pursuit

[Darkdrium777]

StarCraft II is the most recent game I have bought.

[wiintermute]

Limbo on XBLA. Amazing, evil, disturbing, beautiful game.

[phl0w]

Starcraft II

[DrMannevond]

Bought Eve online in may, and haven't looked back. This game is so mind-blowingly huge, I'm still just scratching the surface. You really can do whatever the heck you want in there. Be a pirate and blow up other people's ships and steal their stuff - check. Scam people on the market - check. Make, smuggle and sell drugs - check, be a slaver - check, build an empire and take control over large parts of the game world - check, be a spy and infiltrate an enemy corp/guild (and then royally screw them over) - check, and the list goes on.
And now you can also steal other people's subscription time. It's awesome:D

[blackwiggle]

I'm not one to rush out to buy games when they are first released at their truly exploitative release prices anymore, except in very rare cases [LBP2 will be], plus it lets others sort the wheat from the chaff for you if you wait, you just have to watch your friends list to see what and how many, are playing a particular game or check their trophies to see if a game was any good.
Which as a case in point-Mod Nation Racers seems to have sure died quick.

Apart from trying to get the last X 4 player level done in LBP to 100% story levels, harder than getting Bling Brigade done when few had chrome.
I bought the God of War I & II double pack 2 weeks ago, surprising for me as it has never appealed before.
I finished GOW I 100%, just got to finish Titan Trials 6 & 7 in GOW II to finish that 100%.
Good games, but the laggy controls had me in swear word hyperdrive.

They had a sale on Uncharted 2, new, none platinum copies at less than secondhand price, so I would of been mad is I didn't get that.
Good game, I now see why it won GOTY.
I'm just starting Chapter 23 or 24 [?] of 26 chapters on my first play through on Hard.
One thing I couldn't believe is the amount [9] of DLC game patches that I had to download when I first put the game in the PS3.
They've got to be kidding.
I haven't had a good look at what the 2 DLC pack trophies entail to get them, but I'm guessing a heap of grinding around multiplayer maps getting something boring like a 1000 Arse kicks for a bronze :rolleyes:, which to be honest doesn't appeal to me, and looking at friends lists didn't appeal to any of them either.
Besides, the price of the two DLC packs is nearly as much as I payed for the game.

Hurry up Nov 16th, I want LBP2

[Darkdrium777]

Uncharted 2 has basically no online trophies required for Platinum.
It's like: Play a competitive game. 1 Trophy. Play a cooperative game. 1 Trophy. That's it.
DLC packs were multiplayer focused so they added multiplayer trophies, but they are not required for Platinum as usual. ;)

[blackwiggle]

Yeah, I realize you don't need to do the DLC trophies to get the platinum.
It just looks wrong having a platinum for a game and the game stats of something around 85% completion because all these added DLC trophies have changed the percentage.
It's like that on a lot of games now days.
It use to be that your game completion stats stayed still after you finished it and you didn't play the game anymore, now Sony have even changed that as the PS3 goes looking for the bloody game updates now, so you have no choice it the matter.
A total PITA if you have sold/traded your game disc and more trophies suddenly appear.
I think the extra trophies should only be added if you buy the DLC, most of them seem pretty lame bronze trophies anyway, all the good challenges were in the main game.

I've just been reading complaints at the PS forum about UC2 online and getting fined Virtual$$ and losing levels if you rage quit, some guy said he had 2 disconnections and a game freeze at the game loading and he ended up getting fined V$200,000 and losing 7 levels without even entering the game..OUCH!

[yeldar2097]

Last games I bought were FFXIII, Blur, Heavy Rain and God of War III. Bought Uncharted 2 as well but gave that to a mate for his birthday before I opened it :?

Currently still ploughing through God of War III, quite near the end now I think.

After FFXIII, Heavy Rain and God of War III, the past few weeks have been rather cinematic, so to speak.

I've decided that I LOVE cutscenes :g

[Darkdrium777]

I am particularly liking this cinematic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgatL2LQKLI).

Zeratul is my favorite character in Starcraft, this hasn't changed he's still as badass! :g

[yeldar2097]

WTF Youtube supports 1080p now? Weeeeee

Nice cinematic, even though I had no idea what was going on

All I need is a sexy CGI ladyfriend and I'm sold on a game :g

[stin]

Ok, here is the list I just bought, Split/Second (X-Box) good game, Blur, not even tried it yet and Crash Nitro Kart (PS2).

Oh well, still not got the time to play any of them yet apart Split/Second!

stevie:)

[Dan Locke]

Just got Extreme-G III for the GameCube. I hadn't played it in years, but it was just as good as I had remembered.

The only problem, though, is that Arcade mode seems to be broken - the lap count is stuck at two for ALL speed classes, and not just the lowest. The higher classes were designed for three-lap races, so I always end up losing when I try those classes in Arcade mode.

...I should have gotten the PS2 version. :(

[zeeZ]

Scott Pilgrim vs the world and the universe and all!

Gawd that's a hard game, took me decades to beat the 3rd evil ex!

[RedScar]

Well im not "buying" the game, but I dropped 35 dollars on League of Legends. I play it enough that I might as well pay 1/2 the value I would for a normal game.

[concrete_d]

... took me decades to beat the 3rd evil ex!

Decades?? You got a time machine or something :dizzy

Seriously though, just got that one too, it is pretty hard. I wish it had online multiplayer - hopefully it'll come in an update or something. Sweet game though, wish it had come out decades ago ;)

[MetaKraken]

The last game I bought is, obviously, Modern Warfare 2 :D.

[Rapier Racer]

Blur, SplitSecond won't get a look in here.

[DJ Techno]

[Connavar]

Last game I bought was Starcraft 2.
Now I need to buy a good pc to play this!

[RiPPeRZz]

My most recently bought game is funnily enough... WipEout HD (With Fury DLC). Got given Demon Souls, Alan Wake (Which is awesome, but only on Xbox 360), and Dark Void (on PS3) :D!

[Whizawk]

Last game I bought was this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ06n20AFbE

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Picked up Mafia 2 last week and I'm really enjoying it - a real solid game.

[RedScar]

While I haven't purchased it yet, I will be.
Minecraft, the most addicting game I've ever played.

[Chet_BG]

I'm not sure about the last game I bought, but I know what the next will be - Vanquish! Check the demo in the US Store. Awesome ;)

[Nutcase:259]

The Original WipEout on PSN
Needed to see for myself why everyone raves about the handling :D
:+

i hope they bring out the other 2 sooner rather than later

[mdhay]

Well, Tomb Raider's actually been released, so it might be soon. :)

[DJ Techno]

just for a collection but to try and see


japaneses ntsc
wipeout xl
wipeout

waiting on the wipeout hd/fury on ps3

returning my replacement wipeout xl and wipeout 3 i use to own long time ago.
the two i got both had play problems and the music tracks were not playing through to the last second. but repeating the 10-20 sec and star over.

[stin]

Now, I`m back to MotorStorm Pacific Rift but I bought two extra packs as Adrenaline Packs and Speed Packs.

I must well over 120 hours so far and still going strong till hopefully awaiting extra DLC for Blur or Blur2.

And yes, I`m a trophy hunter!:hyper

stevie:)

[A-Tomic_Power]

Last thing I bought was Söldner-x 2 Last Chapter expansion pack from PSN store. I'm not that good at shoot'em ups but I still like the experience.

[Darkdrium777]

You can't buy it but I've been playing loads of Vindictus (http://vindictus.nexon.net/) recently. It's quickly coming to my top of the list next to Monster Hunter (It plays a lot like it for boss fights.)

Before anyone is too hyped up: US and Canada only, for now.

If you can actually play, it runs on the Source Engine 2 so even some quite old computers can play it. Three characters so far, more on the way. The game is Korean so there's some time for translations (And we are on a delay compared to them.)

It's free to play but the way they make money may annoy some. Not me, I don't play enough for it to be annoying.

I also didn't make a new thread because I figured it would be pointless to do so since a lot of people are from Europe and wouldn't be able to play.

[q_dmc12]

Rollcage II (playstation)
Viewpoint (sega)
Starflight (sega):+


I haven't played rollcage yet but I've heard a lot about it.

[BulletWraith]

just bought my 3rd copy of wipEout 3SE:rock

[stin]

I had some serious thinking for the past week!!! and I decided to get NFS and I bought NFS Limited Edition today!:)

stevie:)

[Temet]

Hi friends !

I received Borderlands on tuesday and Vanquish on friday... and Borderlands is sooooooooooo awesome that I didn't even try Vanquish...

If you like FPS, if you like RPG ... dude, Borderlands is your Holy Grail :g

[mdhay]

That reminds me, I found the GoTY edition on PC for £20, need to trade in the one I have on PC and get that instead. :)

[Temet]

I don't know for the PC version but the PS3 GOTY version is pure bullshit : the DLC are NOT included on the BluRay... you just have a f**king code to dowload once, and once only (pray for your HD not to crash), the DLC on the PSN.

So, I waited for the GOTY for long, but finally bought the regular one :blarg

[mdhay]

Then I'd be worried if I saw a pre-owned copy. :/

[Harvai]

Bought Bayonetta for the 360 the other day. Damn, why don't game companies make more crazy over-the-top awesome games like this?

[amplificated]

Along with GT5 last week, I got Vanquish

I haven't touched Vanquish as of yet :(

[mdhay]

Correct that mistake. NAO! :P

I should be getting Rollcage and wipEout 2097, for less than a tenner. :D

[BulletWraith]

Bought Bayonetta for the 360 the other day. Damn, why don't game companies make more crazy over-the-top awesome games like this?
ask amplificated once they've had time with Vanquish:rock
Platinum games are making some awesome stuff, just wish their sales were higher

[amplificated]

It's funny, I was more excited for Vanquish as well :lol

GT5 just makes you play it more than you feel like somehow; despite all its flaws, it still has quite an addictive quality. I'll probably get anough into GT5 for me to put it down for good, hopefully soon so I can get some prac in for the HD cup :P

I got Bayonetta as well, I thought it was really good - but it's kinda like GT5, at least the PS3 version anyway - its interface is clunky and laggy, it has ridiculous load times; in addition to an uneven framerate. The gameplay is great though. Just don't ask me what I think of its story! :P

[Temet]

It's funny, I was more excited for Vanquish as well :lol

Ah ah, same here!
I got Borderlands just before Vanquish and I even didn't try Vanquish yet... where as I was really excited about Vanquish.

... just Borderlands is awesomely awesome! :)

Just too bad I didn't have a buddy for playing the story in coop mode :'(

[mdhay]

Add me then. :P

[Woopzilla]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesia:_The_Dark_Descent)

Oh... my... god. What did I buy? My nerves have been destroyed. This game is definitely not good for those who don't like scary games.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Scary Gameplay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEHPwAvrc_U)

You have to avoid darkness to keep your sanity up and you can't defend yourself from the monsters. You have to either run or hide in the dark. You can even hide inside wardrobes and stuff. Looking at monsters and witnessing horrible events will decrease your character's sanity, making him harder to control and bring on halucinations.

It's one of those games where you see the videos of other people playing and think "Hah, not scary..." but when you play it alone, in the dark and with headphones on.... then you will definitely get scared.

The demo of it is well worth checking out (the full game is only £13 on Steam or from the developers shop): http://www.amnesiagame.com/#demo

If you've seen videos of it with lots of comments you'll surely see people mention 'the water part' which is also featured in the demo. Frightening stuff.

[Temet]

@mdhay : finished it yesterday! Final Boss is easy compared to some other bosses and even the gardians on the road to the boss...
I just started a 2nd game and almost got killed by a brutal alpha skag level 35 or something like this... this will be fun!

@Woopz : indeed it looks scaring!
"Oh... my... god. What did I buy? My nerves have been destroyed." <<< that's what I thought when I started Dead Space! But finally I enjoyed it a lot (even got platinum on this one).
Good luck bud! :)

I finally started Vanquish. This game is really impressive!!
Awesome visuals (Killzone 2 really looks like a 16 bits joke), awesome gameplay... awesome deads :blarg
Not as addictive as Borderlands but way more intense !

[IndoorSnowStorm]

I just bought Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, and it is really fun, especially with friends. It is in the style of a retro beat-em-up, and offers co-op throughout the whole game. The only bad thing is that the game is not online.

My little brother got Modnation Racers, but I have yet to play it.

[SaturnReturn]

I got Bayonetta on my birthday. It's a lot of fun. Reminds me of the first time I played Devil May Cry. It's both familiar and fresh at the same time. I suck at these types of games so I'm finding it tough just on normal difficulty, but still very much into it.

[yeldar2097]

I was always intrugued by that game. Looks awesome but I don't know whether I'd 'get' it. Seems way complicated.

I'll take it off your hands when you're done :D

[SaturnReturn]

It's not complicated at all really. On a basic level you can beat enemies by just mashing buttons and dodging at the right moment. But then there are lots of new moves you can purchase which would make battles more interesting, and new weapons and accessories and stuff. But I suck too much to figure out how to use them properly. I could lend it to you once I'm done with it.

[OBH]

Good game, though Ninja Gaiden is still best game of that genre ever :P

In preparation for dead space 2, picked up the original for £5.
Bargain :beer

[yeldar2097]

Ninja Gaiden is also ****ing hard. Love it :rock

I just bought Amnesia: The Dark Decent.

Friend told me I should buy it if I ever feel that I need to **** myself on the spot.

[jeegee]

last game I bought was gt5 few weeks ago. unless you count the freebie dc universe beta. got that last wk.

[SaturnReturn]

Friend told me I should buy it if I ever feel that I need to **** myself on the spot.
A real friend would have recommended you eat some bran if you got problems of that nature.:P

[mdhay]

Burnout Paradise on Steam for less then £3.

I#m going to buy a lot of stuff on Steam, aren't I? :dizzy

[SaturnReturn]

£3? Damn, I'm getting it for Christmas as it was part of a 2 for £25 deal along with Bayonetta. Oh well, I can rarely be arsed to play game on PC anyway. Only £3 is a bloody good deal though.

[DjM1zw1z]

I bought blur 3 months ago and thats it. Im a one gamer lol
Mdhay, if you need help on Burnout just ask me, i have the platinum for it

[mdhay]

Thanks man, I'm okay though; I just like destroying cars and bikes, although it makes me want to actually go and see Tron when I use them. :g

For those who are interested, here's the Steam store homepage. There's tonnes of stuff dirt cheap on there, and the sale ends on the 20th of January (I think), so go nuts! xD (http://store.steampowered.com/)

[Mr Phlanj]

i got Battlefield:BC2 Vietnam, its awesome and its another thing to add to the "why Battlefield > CoD" list :D

and with the change i got the new bomberman game :D

[Woopzilla]

Bought the F.E.A.R. Complete Pack on Steam the other day for £5 and have been playing it non stop since.

Here's an example video that I made of scares/gameplay (1 scene from each of the first three games): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGNqB-_CeBE

And here's just a bonus mission level with plenty of action instead of scares (the main story missions have plenty of action too though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2EIbT4kPRI

In the pack I got:

F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R. Extraction Point
F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn

Green = Completed
Blue = Currently playing
Red = Not yet started

Brilliant games these.

[SaturnReturn]

I love F.E.A.R. I remember sitting in the lounge on the sofa with my laptop a few years ago, also playing it pretty much non-stop. Can't remember what it's called, but there's a weapon which kind of shoots a beam at things which zaps them in two - it's awesome. The nail gun is brilliant in slo-mo as well.

[Woopzilla]

I can't remember the name either but that weapon is awesomely fun and the electric gun is also very similar to it. Also, that heavy single-shot firing gun (with the rotating barrel) is also awesome when fired in slow motion, you get to see a really awesome impact 'shockwave'... love that. :D

EDIT: I just reached an awesome part in F.E.A.R. 2 and had to record it. You might not want to watch if you plan on playing this... I'm not entirely sure, but it could probably be one of the cooler sections that in the game and therefore be somewhat of a spoiler. Best watched at 720p in fullscreen and loud volume ^^: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_gkIfoassI

EDIT2: Ok, completed it and the above video is definitely one of the coolest parts. So don't watch if you plan on playing this game. ;)

[AspenExcel]

Damn that is cool! And pretty scary. :paperbag

[Darkdrium777]

FEAR was awesome. I remember taking turns with friends playing through until we died.

[omega329]

ARMA II was the last game I've bought and played , although I wouldn't call it a game as such, more like Microsoft Flight simulator but with warfare instead of flying. :|

[SaturnReturn]

For the Christmas I got Vanquish and Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box.

Burnout is good fun so far. Love cruising around the mountain roads with bumper cam and some cool tunes. I feel it has a really good feeling of speed and is very smooth.

I'm not feeling Vanquish a huge amount yet. I loved the demo but I've played a bit longer and so far there doesn't seem a huge amount of depth to the game, i.e. nothing additional yet compared to what was in the demo. Once I'm finished Bayonetta I will have more time for Vanquish though, and perhaps then will get into it more.

My sister got me a £20 gift card for GAME, so now I have to work out what to spend that on too, but don't really need anything more at the moment. Hmmm...

[Dan Locke]

I didn't buy it, but I got Motorstorm: Pacific Rift for Christmas. I love the mid-'90s arcade style; really cheesy, but really fun.

[q_dmc12]

Star Flight - Sega Genesis 8)

Rollcage II - I have not played this yet, is it awesome?

[SaturnReturn]

The word on the street is - yes, it's awesome.

[stin]

Dan, Pacific Rift is a really addictive game and I loved it cos I completed the game last week after under 200hrs of playing.

Ben, Rollcage are really awesome and music are brilliant too, go for it! But wait till you go to MasterClass!;)

stevie:)

[Tomahawk]

Yes, Master Class in Rollcage II will make you cry in frustration... Incredible speed combined with the hardest and weirdest tracks in the game - it's just damn hard!

[Woopzilla]

Dead Space for £5 on Steam.

I've heard many good things about this game and it seems really cool so far but I should've seen it coming... this game does have the EA logo on it after all.

Problem 1: I load the game for the first time and notice my mouse input has a 500ms lag minimum (which is huge) on the menu screens. I recognize the symptoms of other poorly made ports/games and turn off V-sync: Problem seems to have been solved.

Problem 2: I got into the options to adjust video settings but notice all the menus are half off-screen. A quick google shows that the game doesn't like you having joysticks/gamepads plugged in which causes (for whatever random reason) all the menus to be misaligned (???). Problem seems to be solved after removal of my joystick.

Problem 3: The camera is near unresponsive. I crank up the ingame sensitivity to full and the camera still barely moves. I need to enter Logitech SetPoint for my MX518 and crank up the sensi there. Problem seems to go away.

Problem 4: I now notice that there's actually some weird mouse accel which still makes the camera controlling difficult (it's now the opposite: I do accidental 720 degree turns if I'm too fast) and worst of all: there's a dead zone when aiming (!!!). If you move your mouse very slowly while aiming no input is detected by the game. It's as if they just took the coding from the console controller's stick (or something similar to a joystick) and applied it to the mouse (which is probably the most retarded thing to do ever). Problem can't seem to be solved after much googling. This means fine adjusting while aiming is impossible.

I really want to enjoy this game because I get the impression that it's a really cool game with what I've seen so far... but I actually spend more time fighting the controls than I do enemies. I think I'm just going to have to use a controller and hope that it will feel more natural.

Although it was only £5, I'm really disappointed with the shoddy port. Anyone and everyone can notice these errors within 2 minutes of play and it completely baffles me how this was released in such a state and hasn't even received a patch since then.

Really disappointed. :(

EDIT: After some more searching I finally found this:
http://techreport.com/discussions.x/16051
http://techreport.com/discussions.x/16061

The second link finally helped me after spending much time googling random terms about dead zones and what not. That guy was actually right about the fps. I loaded up FRAPS and checked my FPS. I was in the 200s... after re-enabling V-Sync the ingame menus become really horrible to navigate again, but the ingame controls improve due to the game now being capped at 30fps (but which is also ather ugly to look at). I'm going to see if I can setup some fps crippling settings (a rather strange endeavour) to lower my fps instead of that silly 30fps cap. :P

EDIT2: Well that failed... even at 1920x1200 with 8xAA 16xAF Tripple Buffering etc etc etc I'm in the 180fps range. I'll just have to make do with the ingame v-sync capping me at 30fps. :/ The controls are a lot better now (though still a little odd), but at least it's playable now.

I decided to start on Hard too and got my ass kicked when I met 3 of those monsters at once. I managed to pull through though after a few deaths. :D

[Rennfisch]

I've got two games for christmas.

First: Heavy Rain (PS3). I haven't played much yet, but what I saw was great cinema. Very emotional.

Second: Dragonball origins II (NDS). It's great fun to play it. Son Gokus's childhood is the best part of Dragonball anyway!

[OBH]

Second: Dragonball origins II (NDS). It's great fun to play it. Son Gokus's childhood is the best part of Dragonball anyway!
Despite the series being completely ridiculous, I stand by that Dragonball Z: Raging Blast 2 is one of the best beat em ups ever :)

I'm still playing through Dead Space in anticipation for DS2, and Mass Effect. Housemates bought Fable 3. Just as shite as the other 2, which is sad as voice actors include John Cleese (my hero!!), Stephen Fry, Simon Pegg, Ben Kingsley & Michael Fassbender (the legend that is Archie Hicox in Inglorious B*stards :beer )

[infoxicated]

I got the God of War collection for xmas and I'm really enjoying playing through the original in HD. To bad it's at the expense of my Wipeout HD Cup practice. :|

[Woopzilla]

Just an update if anyone else has Dead Space issues on the PC.

If you have an ATI card, get the latest Catalyst Drivers (10.12) from the AMD ATi website: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/downloads.aspx

The previous drivers were dodgy and the options didn't take effect. The new drivers work and I've managed to succesfully cripple my fps by turning on AA, AF, Super Sampling and all that fancy stuff until my fps dropped from 200fps to 70fps. Making the controls work far, far better! The game's controls are still broken, but it makes it a lot more playable. No need for the ingame V-sync anymore (yuk, good riddance 30fps).

But alas... new problem: The game glitched my save from Hard difficulty to Medium??? I had to google this and, yep, the game has a bug like that. All my effort fighting those monsters has been wasted. I now need to restart and make backup saves to make sure the game stays on Hard. :bomb

[Challenger #001]

I got NFS: Hot Pursuit and AC: Brotherhood.

Hot Pursuit is a good game. I'm not going to say it's great - there are a billion irritations with it that remind me too much of Burnout's flaws (difficult to understand interface, no skip buttons on the crashes, traffic appearing precisely where you don't want it to), the eye-strain you get from the police lights and the fact that I swear Javariko's somehow managed to transplant his Harimau engine into his Viper.

But Autolog is a fun feature and vastly increases the replay value of the game. It looks teriffic, especially in HD, and the pursuits are truly heart-pounding. I'm also kind of glad it doesn't go the route of overly twisty city sections, which would just make it even more frustrating. It actually feels more like an OutRun game, which is no criticism whatsoever. :D

Also, it makes me wish girls made the sounds the Porsche Carrera GT makes when they reach climax. Would make it all the sweeter. <33333

---

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood... haven't really tried the multiplayer properly, so I'm not too sure about it all. Might have to get used to it a bit more before I start being proficient with the stabbiness.

That said, the story mode is an absolute hoot to play, though not sure about the whole massive-great-big-Rome idea. Means you sometimes get freeze errors as it tries to load the whole thing. The characterisation is great though, and it's difficult not to like Ezio. That said, it is a bit easier than AC2, which in turn was easier than AC1. Also, never been able to get that facebook syncing thing to work.

That's my two cents anyway. :3

Well Criterion do make very good updates after a few months, like they did on Burnout paradise. But the police lights in the tunnels, Especially in the dark, do give you Eye ache

[Nutcase:259]

Downloaded Eat Them! off PSN yesterday. for about £6 its pretty insane, basially your a robot godzilla and you go around eating people and smashing things up. what more do you want? :g

[DawnFireDragoon]

i just bought 'enslaved: odyssey to the west' gonna give that a go in a bit, tried the demo and it seemed fun. Also picked up 'need for speed: hot pursuit' it's like the older need for speed games and a ton of fun!

[blackwiggle]

I just finished getting the Platinum on Enslaved, it's a good game, but getting all those orbs is a PITA, very easy to miss some despite playing through the same chapter up to 5 times.
You should get the Pigsey's Perfect 10 DLC for it, it's worth it, it's stealth tactics rather than the fighting in the main game.
Plus it's a 3D update that works with those old school red/blue gasses on a standard TV, as well as the new 3D sets.

I just bought MicroBot from the PStore, it looked simple enough from the preview, but don't think it's easy because it isn't.
Think of Super Stardust but traveling through the human body.
I've been swearing my head off in annoyance at dying so often :brickwall

Oh well, only a week and a bit before I get my pre-ordered LBP2CE in the post :)

[gnesta_93]

the last game i bought must've been Wipeout HD, which is about... well, most of us know what it is about, right? ;)

[Medusa]

Since LBP2 is almost out...I bit the bullet and bought LBP. :lol
Seriously though, playing the LBP2 demo with a friend had me in such stitches...kept grappling her so she couldn't go anywhere without me!! Such fun. LBP is fun in two player as well, but...no grappling. :lol

[Nutcase:259]

You can still grap them and punch them if you select the angry face and start flailing your arms lol. or ruin there pod with a whacking great sticker of Henry VIII face LOL

[mdhay]

Or missiles/ paintinator from the MGS pack. xD

[IndoorSnowStorm]

I usually get revenge by putting stickers all over their sackperson. Even though you can take them off in an instant, their expressions are hilarious! :g

Anyway, I just bought Mirror's Edge, and its pretty fun, albeit it goes by pretty quick. I die a lot, and I get frustrated a bit, but overall it isn't that bad! :g

[Shabaneu]

The last I bought- Pulse ;)

[DreamyElf]

Mirror's Edge is a fantastic and unique game, excellent choice! :clap
I decided to go for digital purchases recently instead of retail lol
I bought Marvel Pinball, totally recommend it to all Marvel and Pinball fans.
I liked it so much that i bought Zen Pinball too last night^^
I also grabbed Costume Quest but haven't played it yet...

[IndoorSnowStorm]

I'm just getting games all over the place! :g I just bought BlazBlue: Continuum Shift for my PS3.

[blackwiggle]

I was looking through the PStore and saw Burnout Paradise for Aus $46, it's a game I've never bothered with previously, as usual Sony prices full downloadable games too high so I gave it a miss, especially for a title that is almost 3 years old.

Then I saw a disc copy for $34 and got that instead.
It's ok, something different to keep me occupied till the idiots I pre-ordered my copy of LBP2 can find where it's gone missing to.

[CPROSICK]

on disc: Castlevainia Lords of Shadow :nod

on dL: don't remember. PACMAN DX / Tetris ,,both swell games...cheap!

[Kyonshi]

On PS3: Dead Space 2. I want to finish Dead Space (again) before playing 2. These 2 games are the most awesome thing to ever happen to survival-horror genre. I just can't wait to play it with my custom soundtrack (yes!!! i know, right?:D)

On PC: WoW... yeah i finally fell for it. I'm a WoW junkie now.:lol

[amplificated]

I got Dead Space 2 on release day; it's pretty good. If anyone else is like Kyonshi and haven't completed the first game even though you have it, I'd recommend getting it done before starting the second, as the sequel's story is based quite heavily on the events of its predecessor.

spoiler (highlight to read):
You even get to feel nostalgic about 70% through the game, ending back up on the Ishimura, and there a couple of moments where Isaac has little flashbacks of things that happened in the first game while on board, so I think you'd get more of a kick out of that section, for one thing.
/end spoiler

Also, I think I'll have to work my way through the game to unlock this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBS86rAT4W0), lol. It's unlocked by beating hard core mode (where health and ammo are more scarce, and when you die you restart from your last save... and you only get 3 saves for the entire game. The game isn't that short, either).

[MegaGeeza22]

I just got High Velocity Bowling!! its pukka!! iv spent 6hours playing online, its quite good!
If anyone here has this game give us a shout!

[CPROSICK]

and I played extraction,,,wasn't too bad.

Full version definately on the list of have-to-gets...(DSpace2).

I'm STILL trying to plat. RedFaction!!!
~C

[IDReaper]

WipEout on PSN. I'm having quite a bit of fun with it, liking my AG Systems and Korodera is an awesome track :D

[Medusa]

...WipEout...liking my AG Sysyems
Good boy. *pat pat*

[Rennfisch]

I bought a PSP with Pulse and Pure :). Especially for playing during my night shift, when I have nothing to do :g.

[Dexito2097]

I just bought 3 NES games on ebay

Tetris
Paperboy

and the mother of all bad ass games... Contra !

[OneAVGNFan]

WipEout on PSN. I'm having quite a bit of fun with it, liking my AG Systems and Korodera is an awesome track :D

I have bought the game recently and I like driving with the Qirex:D

[blackwiggle]

I'm still waiting for my copy of LBP2.
So I went in and bought two cheap games.

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom, which isn't that bad a game play wise, the graphics are like late PS2 games, similar to the GOW pack, and the voice acting is really woeful, thankfully there's not a lot of it, but otherwise I have spent $$ on worst games.

Assassin Creed II.2nd hand
I haven't even put it in the console yet, neither have I the original for that matter, I got side tracked with some other game at the time and never bothered playing it.
Saved for a rainy day games.

[BulletWraith]

hope they have improved Majin from the demo, the controls/fight system just felt really wrong, looked like it could be a wonderful game though, I liked everything other than the controls and movement

last game I bought was Chess for me Mom, sometimes she says she's loosing her mind so I thought I'd finally teach her how to play Chess :)

Stevie

[Nutcase:259]

bought crash bandicoot 1 off PSN.

bloody hell do i just suck awfully or is that game really hard. maybe were so spoon fed now that i go to pieces at the slightest bit of challenge :g

and Syphon filter 3
the way he walks whilst crouching still makes me laugh. looks like he's either got a hernia or hes about to crap himself :lol

[Aeroracer]

crash bandicoot is good game i played that when i was really young ..would like to play it now im grown up :)

[MetaKraken]

@jasmin: Awesome! I used to play Crash Bandicoot with my friend when I was little. Nostalgia FTW :D

[Nutcase:259]

i had crash bandicoot 3 and team racing, they were awsome games and i remember finding it really funny setting the language to spanish as the voice overs got dubbed badly and the annoucer would cut in shouting.

£3.99 really cheap now too on psn, i remember the good old days of £20 games and square packagings lol

[Aeroracer]

cool..its on psn stor for 4 pound..im gonna buy it..where bf credit card..need to get ps3 credits into my account :)

[blackwiggle]

[QUOTE=BulletWraith;193193]hope they have improved Majin from the demo, the controls/fight system just felt really wrong, looked like it could be a wonderful game though, I liked everything other than the controls and movement

The fight controls are OK, I never had a problem with them, it's the camera angles you can find yourself dealing with during battle that can be a problem, apparently there is a camera lock/reset button you can used to help in this, but I never used it, actually I didn't even read the manual until after I had finished the game and was putting it back in it's case.
The most annoying problem is that you are suppose to work/fight together, but that big lummox sometimes gets in the way, so you have to run around him.
It's got elements of ICO in it, and the fight music sounds almost identical to the music used in Shadow of the Colossus, I don't know how this happened as Majin is from a different studio.

I found I surprisingly managed to Platinum this game in under 30 hours, and that included some grinding at the end to max out two stats to gain that trophy.

It's quite an good/enjoyable game, I don't know why it hasn't sold [the reviews slagging off the voice acting I suppose], same goes for Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, good game that hasn't sold.

As for Crash Bandicoot, I always found that in Crash 1 it was very hard to get Crash to run or jump exactly where you wanted him to, the direction controls are VERY twitchy.
Very frustrating that he can so easily swerve to the left or right while running or mid jump, thus missing the landing spot or running into a lethal obstacle and dying.

[OBH]

Bioshock 1.

Loving it. Rapture is one the best video game settings of all time.

[MegaGeeza22]

I just bought Watcmen and Watcmen part II...
i dont no why lol, i haven't even seen the film. its ok i suppose... just fighting all the way through, and i completed the first part in 2 hours! its :turd but good

[mdhay]

2097. Will be dispatched on monday, and be here by thursday. :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

I picked up Deathsmiles on the 360 a couple of days ago. Almost passed out when I saw this on the shelf as it's the first Cave bullet-hell shooter to go on retail sale over here, and as a fan of their other work (Mushihimesama, Espgaluda and DoDonPachi) there was no second throught really. It's a very interesting game as it's a side scroller as opposed to the usual vertical shooters that the others are, but it's still as hard as nails.

Now can they PLEASE release DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu over here? :)

[mdhay]

Armored Core: For Answer. For some fecking reason, I can't ever turn properly, always very sluggishly, which is understandable for a huge robot, but when the Ai doesn't? Please...

...and 2097. :rock

[MetaKraken]

Last game I got was LBP2. And all I gotta that it's a really good game. :)

[infoxicated]

Think I'm going to have a binge tomorrow.

Finally sold our house, so I'm going to pick up Killzone 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Heavy Rain Move Edition.

Having said that, I might hold off on Killzone 3, as I reckon there'll be trade-ins to be had in a couple of weeks.

[slimjim]

Killzone 3 should arrive soon

[WolfKill01]

Modern Warfare 2 and Halo Reach. Just recently picked up a 360 and it's been rather enjoyable. Call me crazy but I think I enjoyed reach more then mw2. Although, admittedly, I've been spending ALOT of time in XBLA. Some of the indie games there are just incredible (i'm looking at you limbo and super meat boy) :D

[stin]

I`m waiting a game called MotorStorm Apocalypse!:bat

And that will be my last till autumn coming! ;)

stevie:)

[jan709]

mass effect 2, in my opinion the best game since metroid prime. Im about to start my third playthrough in a row :)

[xEik]

Finally sold our house...
Sorry to be offtopic, but it's nice to hear that.
I had been a bit worried with the whole affair since you moved back to Scotland.

BTW last game I bought is Lost Planet 2. It will probably be pants but it was super cheap and I hope I can get at least 5-10 hours of fun with coop campaign with a mate from work.

[infoxicated]

Thanks man - it's just good to finally have it sorted. :)

In the event I picked up Fallout New Vegas and Rock Band 3 today. Couldn't quite decide on Heavy Rain and figured I can find it pre-owned in the autumn if I still want to play it, as it strikes me as a "winter" game and the tail end of this winter will be covered by New Vegas.

These should keep me going until SOCOM 4 is released in April, I think. :D

[mdhay]

Got a Collectors Edition of Killzone 3, and I'm enjoying it very much. Only problem is, that according to the Guide, I've almost finished it. Now, I've had it for about seven or eight hours, so it does not bode well. :/

[Hellfire_WZ]

Bulletstorm... absolutely f**king nuts! It makes such a change from all the identikit "realistic" shooters being pumped out lately to just have a game that lets you have fun blowing stuff up. Considering it was made by the people who made Painkiller, that was never in doubt :)

[Crash8308]

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm (the first one)... it's actually a pretty solid fighting game, pretty good dynamic and something the fans of the show will love.

[Medusa]

I don't think this post fits anywhere else...
thatgamecompany has another game coming out!!! I nearly fell over when I came across the trailer for Journey. After madly scanning through the PStore multiple times, it finally dawned on me that the game isn't released yet.
:brickwall
Did I mention I'm a Flower addict and also that I loved Flow...I can hardly wait to waste my precious time with Journey....

And thanks for the reviews of Mirror's Edge, whoever posted about it...finally ordered it today. For $20, it doesn't matter to me how short a game it is, and besides I see there is add-on content that looks quite fun (to me) available for it. yay

[Autechom]

I bought a PS 1 game with the generic name Future Racer. Hasn´t arrived yet but I am really curious. Will try to collect all the games that fit into this genre bit by bit.

[infoxicated]

I'm enjoying Fallout New Vegas so much that I haven't been near Rock Band 3 yet. I actually like what they've done with it. They could never top emerging from the vault in Fallout 3, but what they've done is great and I'm enjoying all the quests.

Only a couple of visual glitches so far, too - no crashes or game breakers. :)

[Autechom]

Then good luck, infoxicated. I stopped playing Fallout 3 because of bugs and glitches : /
And when it comes to Vegas: This might be the most creepy video I have ever seen in a videogame due to a glitch -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HerwCYeiS_o

[infoxicated]

Yeah, I saw that video when it launched, and from over 200 hours spent on Fallout 3 I knew they'd release it in a broken state and attempt a patch up job later.

That's why I left it a while to pick it up, and I was busy with other games when it came out anyway. Despite the glitches in Fallout 3 I got a huge amount of enjoyment out of it, which is why I feel I can live with any minor bugs in New Vegas.

To date, Fallout 3 is the only game I've earned a platinum trophy for - just can't get enough of questing in the wastelands! :)

[mdhay]

Oh yeah, in case you didn't know, you can't play this one after finishing it either, same with the first DLC package. You are warned, however.

[infoxicated]

Thanks for the heads up - it's good to know. I might have just the one, comprehensive play-through with this one rather than the one 75 hour effort followed by a 150+ hour play-through that I did with Fallout 3.

I like to do all the optional parts of quests, but I've got less time on my hands these days, so I don't want to leave anything hanging the first time around.

Had to re-load after completely misjudging a situation last night. We'd need spoiler tags for me to go into it, but I figured I'd have a go at nipping the whole Legion story path in the bud when I first crossed their path. Needless to say, it didn't go well as I killed their leader and immediately failed the quest! :lol

[mdhay]

Yeah, I did that and failed about four quests. :lol: I can't help liking the Anti-materiel Rifle, is awesome against the Quarry near Goodsprings. Have you used Wild Wasteland? Makes the game so much more fun. :rock

[infoxicated]

No, I didn't take it as a trait, but I thought I might have done when I saw the guy wearing the wolf hat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb0kiiB3O-o)! :D

[mdhay]

Well, I'm not sure if there was anything like that that the trait triggers, but that was a pretty random video :P. And al I found were some Holy Hand grenades... :g

(Could be classed as a spoiler, I don't want to ruin it for anyone, so highlight if you want to read) :)

Super Mario bros. It's the classics all over again.

[UB3R~JKP]

Pokemon White on NDS....man absolute genius. Forget little tweaks this game is rewriting the rule-book for the old 'mon games! 11 Hours in had it for 2 days, but have been partying like a crazy mofo and had 5 a side for hours yesterday...and school today....bahahaha god It never gets old! :D

BlazBlue Continuum Shift.

Even though I own a decent stick I'm crap at it.

Crysis2 Limited Edition uncut - sleepless nights for free

[MetaKraken]

While I haven't bought any games yet, I did bought DLC from Black Ops so I can play Ascencion and earn three more trophies so far. Best zombie maps ever IMO. :D

[Medusa]

Has anybody here managed to do any of the Pure Time Trials from Mirror's Edge? They're completely diabolical. It's like...Echochrome meets the Olympics.
The TTs from the game maps, those I can manage--but the Pure TTs are just HELL. Which is sooo funny--I bought the add-on because I thought the Pure TTs would be a relaxing break from the actual game. FAIL...

(What an awesome game though. Loving it.)

[q_dmc12]

Hmm.. last game I bought was either Rollcage II or Minecraft..:sonar

[Autechom]

(What an awesome game though. Loving it.)

Yes, I love this game a well. Though on the other side I curse the game regularly. I have played the game sooo many hours and still, I just don´t get the feeling of really being capable to control Faith 100%. It is just hard to lok down to check where your feet are and to run forward. However, I managed to get one 3-star-rating, a couple of two star-ratings...but mostly only one star. I really cannot understand how people do all 3-star ratings. I mean, you can watch videos on youtube,sure. But since the game is not that easy to control it is just damn hard to copy what you ee in the videos. Nevertheless, I love this game. It inspired me and just has a great feeling (stlye/music).
And yes, the DLC is everything but a relaxing break.
have you done all the achievements (or maybe trophies in your case) where you have to combine several movements? There was one I tried 70 minutes over and over again like an idiot or say..like beating Zico, haha. In the end ,I managed both but somehow...man, how annoying ,haha.

Let´s just hope, evil EA will release Mirrors Edge 2. There is still hope.

Last games I bought were some shitty Playstation One games like Future racer.Bah. Next ones will be Portal 2, new Deus Ex and Mortal Kombat. Though I hardly need new games. Mostly I play the same. Wipeout, Mass Effect (againand again), Mirrors Edge...

[Medusa]

LOL no I haven't gotten all the movement trophies...only the "Free Flowing" (I think it's called) one. I'm going to have to write down the instructions for the other moves, paste them on my wall, and read them while I'm playing!

I'm just working my way through the TTs and speedruns still. When I'm at my best I barely make a one star run! And yes, on the DLC, even after watching the vids of people doing 3 star runs, I can't come even close. I'm still ten seconds behind the 1 star run on the easiest track!!! It's painful!

But the style is exactly what I love about it also. I keep thinking: here's a complementary game to WipEout. There could be a wipeout race in the background while Faith is freerunning, and it would fit in totally. The little tidbits tucked in the elevator displays and overheard conversations are great (ex. "Damn those rats are getting big!" or "Are your children running? Watch out for callouses...") What a game, it's just superb. :)

And yes, if ever a game needed a sequel it's Mirror's Edge. The thing is, I don't know if I can handle a whole game full of those PK Runner-trained cops...might drive me insane!

[Autechom]

And yes, if ever a game needed a sequel it's Mirror's Edge. The thing is, I don't know if I can handle a whole game full of those PK Runner-trained cops...might drive me insane!

I can´t imagine that this game will set a focus on your enemies. The combat is the real weak part of the game. When you know the game good enough you can just ignore these guys. But when you play it the first and second time or so, you have to deal with them. And it is a pain ih the ***. Escpecially these guys who run after you and are not beatable. Aaaargh. They scare me,haha.However, I guess, the programmers know where ME has its strength. Otherwise the DLC would have looked really different. I wouldn´t mind no combat at all in part two but more variety of moving. More possible ways you can run.

And yes, the style is wonderful. And the music *_* Imagine another person had made the soundtrack and 80% would be rock music. So, when it comes to style,this game is really perfect in itself.
So, keep running and have faith! ; )

[runingman111]

Yeh after Gt5 last year only for cars - i look out for another game especially one for bikes - so the new Moto GP 10/11 ;)

[MyNameIsBom]

Doodle Jump For iPods!!!!!

[DJ Techno]

For the cost of nothing.

mortal kombat for ps3 and xbox

and homefront for ps3 and xbox 360

[OneAVGNFan]

I got MK yesterday and it's awesome. :nod

[blackwiggle]

I bought the Tomb Raider Trilogy.
It's got TR's Legend, Anniversary and Underworld all on the one disc.

I finished Legend and enjoyed it apart from the one glitch with the final boss while playing on hard difficulty[lara can lose her entire health and die with one hit from the boss due to this glitch, if you play completely through on easy first it opens up the Extras section, then when you beat chapter 6 time trial you get unlimited health code to type in, you can beat the final boss on hard using that]

Playing TR Anniversary ATM.
Much more like the original TR, and quite complicated puzzle wise if you want to find all the artifacts and relics, I'm finding it a bit of a chore TBH, I've miss one artifact in the Eygpt level [?]
I'll finish this before going onto TR Underworld.

[MetaKraken]

Since PSN is still down, I decided to buy two PS2 games, like:

GTA Vice City
Burnout 3: Takedown

While I already have two of these games (not the new ones), they were too old and now rendered unplayable.

[Aeroracer]

mortal kombat 9:turd :turd :turd :turd :turd :turd :turd :turd :turd :turd

its crap (worst online game of all time) online 1 second lag on inputs ...dont buy it..YOURVE BEEN WARNED

if they patch it ill let you know

[Hellfire_WZ]

Motorstorm Apocalypse. Really fun game... that is, until the infuriating AI make you want to break something.

And as for hardcore mode... if I want to play a game that is all luck and no skill, I'll play a fruit machine.

[stin]

Have you played Pacific Rift?

But I yet to get that game:frown:

stevie:)

[MetaKraken]

@Hellfire: I've played (and recently bought) motorStorm: Apocalypse, and yes, AIs can be irritating, but on Wreckreation, they're not as tough than the Festival Mode, even though you put it on Veteran difficulty. There's also online, which is a lot of fun, but the online gameplay tends to have a lot of problems, so it could disconnect you unintentionally while waiting to join a server or placing bets on one of the players. I hope Evolution Studios can correct this so I can resume playing online and unlock more vehicles, vehicle parts, trophies, etc.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yeah, I've noticed they're a bit more forgiving outside of Festival. Wreckreation is a good laugh and I'm probably going to pop online at some point with it. It's just the frustration of Hardcore that's bringing my piss to a boil. I'm of the opinion that if a game mode was designed effectively as a very tight time trial, don't stick a load of bloodthirsty AI opponents on the same track!

[FirstDave]

MX vs ATV Alive. The gf bought me this yesterday and its great fun once you master the controls great online stuff too and only about £23 so great value.:D

Dave.:D

[WolfKill01]

I bought battlefield: bad company 2 the other week. LOVE IT. The sound design is pretty much perfect and the graphics are great. Gameplay is awesome too. There aren't buildings crumbling around you as explosions go off like mad when I play CoD :p. But in approximately 12 hours, I plan to be knee deep in some DiRT 3.

[Kyonshi]

L.A. Noire.

Pure. Amazement. It blew my ****ing mind away. If its not a revolution, its a freaking huge giant step in video games.

[stin]

Got the Motorstorm Apocalypse but not even opened it yet :rock

stevie:)

[runingman111]

Now i got DIRT3 :banzai and train gymkhana for myself - aaawwesome :+

[FirstDave]

Dirt 3 for me too and nice to win my first ever flagball game.So far its all looking good but i am yet to be fully convinced that its better than GT5.


Dave.:D

[infoxicated]

If "bought" covers "got for free with the Welcome Back package" then yesterday I got inFamous and Dead Nation.

Haven't played the former, but spent about four hours playing Dead Nation co-op last night and it's great fun. Very frantic at times and the lighting and atmosphere are superb. :+

[mdhay]

I got Call of Pripyat, pretty damn good, although I did finish a bit too quickly. :|

[Challenger #001]

Not exactly 'bought' either, but I had my first taster of World of Warcraft yesterday. Thank goodness it's just a free trial. That's all I'll say.

[xEik]

Got inFamous and Little Big Planet on the Welcome Back Package.
And for the 30 days PSN+ trial I downloaded Streets of Rage 2. A trrrrrrrrue classic with grrrrrrrreat music. Played it on the original Mega Drive, played it on various emulators and I'm gonna play it again this month on PS3. SoR2 never gets old.

[Colin Berry]

I got LA Noire a couple of weeks back, finished it yesterday.
It has some flaws, some annoyances, some things I wish they'd done differently, but overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable and engrossing experience and fun to play and I didnt want it to end

[Medusa]

I just got Cuboid, and I love it! I find it a really fun puzzle game, and since I'm playing it on "Beginner", it's not so frustrating that I give up after 15 minutes! (like I did with Echochrome and a few of the PQ2 levels). :redface:

And, I finally bought the PSN WipEout (original). Whoooo! That's fun!!

[Mr Phlanj]

did some shopping on ebay and got

(ps1)Suikoden 1 - £42
(ps2)Legacy of kain: defiance - £12.25
(Ps1)LOK: Soul reaver - £5.05
(ps1)LOK: Blood omen - £22.14

and waiting for the end of

(ps2)LOK: blood omen 2 - £3.49

[mdhay]

Gran Turismo 1. For £5. Awwww yeeaaaaaaah. :rock

[DJ Techno]

the actual

playstation 3 game disk of Wipeout HD/Fury

damn the way i had to pay for it over ebay. but damn that the currency exchange for the american dollar had to be more than the british pound and not the south korean buck

[FirstDave]

Motorstorm apocalypse. Its a real good giggle. :g

Dave.:P

[Medusa]

Same here for Burnout Paradise City...it was free, and it's absolutely brainless fun...I can't believe how much time I've wasted on it the last few days!!

As a side note, I didn't know they could make PSN Trophies so easy...silver trophy pretty much for just playing long enough to smash billboards!?!

[FirstDave]

Yeh i got burnout too on the one month thing and its great fun, love the slow mo crunchy crashes and yes you cannot but win trophys.

Dave.:P

[DJ Techno]

magic the gathering

duel of the planeswalkers 2012


so i be spending my time playing card games online and on the tv screen again.

who doesn't!

everyone in here can't say they been on them damn crazy facebook, myspace, and other card games on the computer. killing time at work or actually making extra cash on the side

[hunterx848]

brink
and pre-ordered assassins creed relevations

[MegaGeeza22]

I got bored the otherday, so i thought i would buy a few games on psn.
Top Gun, Tom Clancys GRAW 2, My Aquarium, Tomb Raider Underworld and Premier Manager... i also bought a years subscription to ps+ and got Sega Rally free.
Tom Clancys GRAW 2 is amazing for a 2-3 year old game and so is tomb raider!

[Rekkuzan]

The last PS3 game i bought recently was Borderlands GotYE. But I bought Parasite Eve for $4.99 on psn while searching for Einhander (which is IMPOSSIBLE to find anywhere!!!) and i really dig it. it's got a creepyish vibe and a very interesting storyline. I haven't beat it yet but it seems well worth the $5 spent.

[BulletWraith]

Red Dead Redemption Limited Edition
(not the special edition)
came in the mail today, has taken me months to find it with the DLC code intact, RDR soundtrack Ahoyhoy :rock

[KGB]

Bought Limbo yesterday, it's the best PSN game ive played along with Flower. The only downside is the price, far too much for such a short game. Glad I got it though.

[UB3R~JKP]

Just received Ouendan 2 in the mail. It's a Japanese equivalent to The western Elite Beat Agents. Bloody awesome, best DS game i've played.

[JFthebestJan]

3D Dot Game Heroes! everyone who's in love with the zelda games MUST get it. it's like a fusion of 'a link to the past' and 'mystic quest' in 3D! it has an character editor. and u can have 16 different swords @ least, all can be upgraded. it has a 'minecraft'-stylish look. go, BUY it.

btw, just entered the water palace :D

[Rennfisch]

Okami for PS2

A nice game. Will become one of my favourites for sure!

[Olivario]

I bought the ICO & SotC Collection on Thursday. I have played ICO about six hours, rare game.

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

Just got F1 2011. It's kicking my ass at the moment, but it seems like a great game. :D

@Olivario
I preordered Ico/SotC HD too. I'll start it as soon as I finish inFAMOUS. I missed both of those games on PS2, so I'm looking forward to finally playing them.

@Rennfisch
I bought Okami recently too. Amazing looking game. I'll play through it soon, after I finish some more games. :)

[Rennfisch]

@Olivario: I ordered them as well, but they are just available from 5.Okt..

[Olivario]

I didn't play these games either before. ICO is a special game, I wouldn't know how to describe it; it's totally different from any game I have ever played, but it is definitely worthy :)

[AG-SYSTEMS]

I must be odd or something, but I got Rails Across America. Well, it's not the best, but it is better than some games. It can be played in any time span you please, and it's much more satisfying than most other quick-play games I've played. And if your wondering, it's a strategy game.

If anyone wants to know more, here's a Gamespot review.
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/railsacrossamerica/review.html?tag=summary%3Bread-review

P.S.- If this seems out of place, please tell me.

[Temet]

Just got F1 2011. It's kicking my ass at the moment, but it seems like a great game. :D

Oh man, F1 2010 is the only PS3 game I bought and that I really regret have done such a mistake!
I truly hate it! Except 2 online races I promises a friend, I didn't even finished a single race!!!!
If one day something make me crazy and I need something to break to feel better, I'm sure breaking the F1 2010 bluray will make me more than happy
:g

Personally, last game is Deus Ex : Human Revolution. I loved it, got platinum :g

[mobory]

i pre-ordered Rage before any of the reviews came out for the game. i still havent gotten it but i hope that the game is still fun despite the reviews it got.

[Autechom]

Gears of War 3 . Finally no lags online..more or less.

[FirstDave]

F1 2011 and its as good as F1 2010 but wouldnt say its better as the cars handling are much much more forgiving.On the upside it means i,m doing career on pro and winning so loving it so far.Next up is SkyDrift, oh yesss :)

Dave.

[Temet]

I bought the first Crysis yesterday.
I like it a lot. Harder than Crysis 2, the jungle is awesome, the physics are great.
Really nice. I always wanted to play but my PCs are quite old and can't run it.
Of course, I would have prefered play it on PC, but it's really good to play it, only for 20 euros. Thanks Crytek :)
The only drawbacks I saw after 1 hour of playing :
- some elements pop up a bit late;
- the frame rate is just the acceptable limit.

But hey, it's still 10 million times more beautiful than a Killzone 2 "grey only" environment, and gameplay is way more fun :rock

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

:g

F1 2010 is horrible. :lol
The handling is all messed up, and the game is just frustrating. 2011 plays much nicer, and doesn't feel unfair; the more I play, the easier it gets. Break your 2010 disc and get 2011 to play with me. :D
