Re: What game are you playing thread

At the moment, I'm playing nowt but Flash games - this borrowed laptop is less than useless. However, when I get back to my proper PC, I imagine that Team Fortress 2 will take up some free time because it's such fun. I'm going to resist the urge to start a new Civ 4 game as it will swallow up whole evenings without chewing, and I'll be exceedingly busy when my last term of uni starts (which includes researching to wrie 15,000 words )

That said, I'm tempted to buy my housemates 360 off him now that he's rather foolishly gotten himself a PS3.

After finding the platinum version in my local supermarket for under a tenner, I'm playing Tekken 5.

Re: What game are you playing thread

Just finished:


Gears of War 2 - Superb fun in an over the top, testosterone way. Superb cover system making it a joy to play. Loved every minute of it with the exception of a weak ending (Last boss was crap) 9/10

Back to playing Fallout 3 now.

Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific, for PC.

It's a great game. I highly recommend it.

Re: What game are you playing thread

For me, I have a particular affinity to western RPG's. Hence, I find myself always coming back to, at this point, Fallout 3. Before that it was Mass Effect (which is my favorite game at this point).

So to answer your question currently, Fallout 3.

Red Alert 3. Not as good as RA2 but playing with friends is always good.

Re: What game are you playing thread

Started playing Fallout 3 last week. I've now logged in over 30 hours, and I still haven't done the 'Following in Your Father's Footsteps' quest in Megaton.

This game rules.

I cannot believe how amazing it is.




EARLY GAME SPOILERS.


I'm waiting until I finish the Wilderness Survival Quest, then I am going to kill Moriarity - that dude is a total punk.

PAIN, Resistance 3 and Guitar Hero World Tour on PS3

PAIN is so wrong it is great fun (and David Hasselhoff has gone up loads in my estimation since he agreed to star in this game)

A word of warning, don't do the main quest until the end. Once you fully complete it, the game ends sadly. I made that mistake

At the moment, I'm still bashing my way through the Fallout 3 world. However, I'm looking at KOTOR right now and have just realised I haven't completed it for some odd reason. It seems rather appealing now

that's the cause of a lot of unhappyness, especially in the PS3 community as the 3rd instalment of the DLC will rewrite the ending so the game doesn't end and will also remove the level cap.
the reason for PS3 unhappyness is that MS have forced Bethesda to make the DLC exclusive to LIVE. this also means PC users must purchase MS toy money, I mean LIVE points, to get the DLC. unfortunately, the LIVE points can only be bought in blocks and you will have spare points left over after buying the DLC meaning that MS are getting the interest on your money while you wait for something to spend it on
