Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009)

Yesterday we were playing Oddworld,Munch's Odyssey. Its an old Xbox game and on the 360 its not full screen and the sound is missing when the characters are talking. There's music and there's certain sounds but when you get Abe to talk or one of the info beings pop up with useful information you can't hear it! It sounds like its coming from the bottom of a very deep well! Annoying but apparently many have reported the same!

Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009)

I just got my 3 yr old Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets (xbox), and on the 360, the intro is slow, and theres no sound, and when playing it slows down horribly. I'm thinking of shelling out the £20 for an old xbox. I've also got Prince of Persia the Two Thrones which won't work on the 360. Aother thing to whinge about the 360......

I recently finished Uncharted (got to love platinum games) and considering its age, it is a fantastic game.

the effects are amazing. I still get a buzz from the way he gets wet when he goes in water and dries out in the sun.
the story is pretty good as well and I can't wait to get my hands on Uncharted 2

I got my platinum yesterday in this, and I couldn't agree more. I loved it. The game looks amazing (like you, I spent some time just admiring the fact that you can get wet and then dry out in the sun), sounds good (and the voice acting was solid enough), and the story is decent.

I watched the six-minute trailer for Uncharted 2 the other day, and I must say, I can't wait!



On to Bioshock now, I think. Although I picked up inFamous at the weekend, too.

Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009)

I'm just about finished Dead Space, excellent game so far. I've borrowed Left 4 Dead, and I'm glad I didn't buy it. A little disappointed with it, to be honest. I'm surprised they announced Left 4 Dead 2 today, there's just no need. Why can't they just finish off the first game instead? The developers said that there would be constant content for it, as the basic game is repetitive and short, but theres been very little so far.

Just started Mass Effect again as well. I didn't get very far with it the first time, and gave up on it. This time I'm going to stick with it, as everyone keeps telling me its a great game. But then they said that about Oblivion and Fallout 3, and I didn't like either of them. And considering I love RPG's that's saying a lot.

I've still not played Bioshock, I keep meaning to.....

Did inFamous get mixed reviews? I'd love a PS3, but unfortunately can't afford that and my 360. But at least I'm going to get to play FFXIII and Metal Gear Rising soon (ish)! Yay for Microsoft!

Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009)

I've only played the intro/training thus far (most of the reviews I've read are pretty positive, though). It looks cool, but I've had other stuff to play first. Am in the process of chalking up the LOTR online trophies, and tonight I started Bioshock at last.

It's creepy. I'm liking it, although I haven't played much yet.



Oh, and Rag Doll Kung-Fu is available for free on the US PSN Store. The game itself is pretty crappy, but the theme tune is awesome...............

Fished Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 out of a bargain bin on Saturday and have been obsessed with it ever since...

Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009)

I haven't played a PGA game in a while (since before they were Tiger Woods, I think...), but I used to love them.


I may still pick up Dead Space in the future, although I'm eyeing up Red Faction: Guerrilla as my next FPS purchase. I remember enjoying the original Red Faction, although I never played the sequel.

Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009)

A friend has lent me Heavenly Sword, and I started playing it yesterday.

To say it's a hack'n'slash, and that they're usually not my cup of tea, I'm rather liking it! The game itself is surprisingly good, and the voice-acting is hilarious (not bad, rather incredibly melodramatic. I quite enjoy the cutscenes)!
