I'm playing Gears of War 2-- had to restart co-op on hardcore because for some reason the save data crashed on the last chapter of the last act. Well gutted.

Also playing wipeout, halo 3, cod4, and civilization 4 on and off. Might start bioshock on PC on the weekend.

How about you guys?

cod 5 for me atm.

1st prestige around about level 50. only had 3 weeks play on my current gamertag.

looking at getting gow2 or far cry 2 for xmas.

Crysis and Crysis Warhead - also been trying Hard Cry 2 out, but am not really impressed with it - the Crysis games are brilliant, though - they look like movies.

mindjolt on facebook its coool and online


if any of you like old arcade games look in to something called

mame

mame is a emulator what is like a system that allows you to play something called roms a.k.a "games"

they are pritty cool all the streetfigeters plus rainbow edition

metal slug, sanobi plus 1000's of games


a lil gem mame is

nfs carbon... i know it old but its fun
doom3....same as above
farcry 2

Pacman, the old ones are always the best

hehe yeah mame has it all and its free on PC to download

3 weeks and you're already on prestige?! wtf man..is it easier than cod4?

Damn I really liked Crysis.

My BF got me warhead some time ago, but as he was riding to his car, he put the game on the roof to put his bike up on the rack. then drove off without the game. some lucky dude in surrey probably picked it up. I'm gutted about that!

Well I was playing Gears of War 2 also until I had the red ring of death on Friday.

My console is now in Frankfurt, awaiting repair (hurrah for the three year extended warranty for three red lights!).

So until that comes back, nothing at the moment .

This is on my G1

But I do remember playing some games on Mame back in the Windoze days, it was pretty good for old school games.

Starcraft.. cant get enough of these types of strategy games. -PC

Force unleashed, Star Wars Battlefront 2... -PS2

U.N. Squadron & Secret of Mana - Super NES

P.S Do not start playing EVE on-line for (PC)
will get you hooked big time on it and its monthly subscriptions only
grate game thou you can try it 14days free trial

Cod5 World at War and Battlefield;Bad Company............
BF;Bad Company in my eyes is the best fps out there atm, 32 players and some of the biggest fps maps on xbox you've ever seen....BF have been making fps for years and know how to do it properly.
Cod5....is ok for small quick games on small maps, lots of fun arcade style fps but shame they went back to WW2 again but glad they have started with the squad play, looking forward to Cod6 Modern Warfare2 next year, just hope they start making bigger maps with aircraft ,tanks, humvees, helos and artillary................ and more players

I have had it roughly the same an are at lvl 42, in first prestige. think it's an excellent game. but i have also played a lot of co-op
and Nazi Zombies.

And for the topic at hand

COD 4, COD 5 and Grid Racer.

Cliqq

I have an addictive personality --- especially addicted to game stats so I've been told not to play EVE. Looks good though.

Greeny: Did you have your xbox lying down or standing up? what were you doing before the ring of death came? I read somewhere that the newer xbox's are going to have improved cooling systems.

nope its a hell of a lot harder.

65 levels per prestige this time compared to 55 in cod 4, you need nearer 160,000 exp per prestige compared to 125,000 on cod4, i used to do a prestige in about 7-10 days on that, cod 5 takes me around 14 days game play ( not time played real world time, only on around 24hrs time played)

there's peep's on there thats hit the 10th prestige already.

T1

on recruit

im mostly playing gears of war 2, far cry 2, cod4 and mortal kombat vs dc universe at the moment

gta4 has ruined all other games for me. i played cod5 but it looked like an amiga game! gears2 was cack n'all- and avoid the 007 game too its a an absolute stinker, goldeneye memories got the better of me. got orange box halflife for £10 the other day- losing my life to that atm. until i get my broadband sorted and get back to gta4 online.

Greetings,

Just finished Prince of Persia, and loved it . Am about to start Mirrors Edge

Peace and one love

Buffalosoldier

i definatly agree with that part but 'horde' on gears 2 is awesome bro
the worst game i played in ages is without doubt 'need for speed undercover' it couldve been good but the frame rate is just dogshite tbh

just finished cod4 & fear on the pc & am gonny start with gears of war soon.

also, im getting cod5 & farcry2 for xmas but my graphics card is starting to get a bit long in the tooth to run these at decent frame rates (ati 1950pro/zalman cooler)

Playin COD4 and GTA4 at the mo but got COD5 for crimbo Cant wait!

My kids got me playing Runescape online, Well addicted ...........I'm a lvl 105 now

Man it is ALL about EA Skate, that game is brilliant, i can't wait for Skate 2 in January!

What the hell man I must be doing something wrong then. It takes me AGGGES to level up-- I think it's because I'm hooked on Hardcore. do you get the points from search & destroy? completing objectives? or just playtime?



I had to trade in Mirror's Edge a few weeks ago to get GOW2.. sucks. I finished the story mode, it's a real awesome game, so different from every other FPS', I really don't think it got the recognition or sales it truely deserved. And the time trials were addictive.

Got an early Christmas present today of Left 4 Dead for the pc. Pure mindless zombie action FPS gore-fest, so no bad points so far. It'll be good to have something to play for a while other than Dawn of War, although I'm looking forward to next year's DoW2, again if only to give me something to play other than Dawn of War...

As part of the on-going grumpy, miserable old git's 2p rant initiative though, I'd just like to add that I don't like the way the gaming industry is going, firstly with the having to activate a game online (Steam etc), but worse still is that after you buy some new games, you then have to set up a direct debit to play the f**king thing every month.

Yes, and it is undoubtedly becasue of overheating. This is the second time this has happened. Reading online, it seems it is caused by some seals coming loose with the head which allows the motherboard to become detached from something = red ring of death. I'm just chuffed they're fixing it for nothing.

In last 3 months Ive had a mega games period

STALKER Clear Skies Absolutely brilliant for 75% of game and a right disgrace at end. Hybrid RPG/FPS that completely abandones what made it great for a traditional FPS style that is crap and you can see the whole deal was just a cash in.

Fry Cry 2 mixed feeling. Wasn't going to finish it but did. Looks gorgious plays great, feels well wrong.

Fallout 3 Brilliance

Mass Effect 20% in, like it, but the extended dialogue is a bit bogus cause I don't see this actually effecting anything

Left4Dead Quick cash in on Half Life2 models and landscape. Only 4 maps. Not much to commend it, apart from the absolute adrenialine rush of surviving. Brilliance, cant quite believe how good this game is. It is really a complete cheek as it is just a game version of 28 Days Later. But for all of the things that you can criticise this game over when you play it with other people, man what a fucking buzz. Good by yourselfl, amazing when you play with a team. MORE MAPS!! And dont have the cheek to charge me £30 for another 10 maps... these should be almost given away to people who have bought the first game as 4 maps is a fucking joke. An adrenalin fueled nightmare.

fallout for me as well

Replayed Crysis + Warhead through again (coz they were so good first time round, and I wanted to see the 64Bit versions and DirectX10 GFX again, plus I got some improved texture maps for them that I wanted to see - gawd, I thought that the game(s) looked nigh on perfect *before* I applied them - they look even better now. )

My ATI 4850 overclocks from 625/1004 (GPU/GDDR3) to 730/1110 and this makes the frame rate perfect - smooth with no slowdowns or jerkiness at all (all GFX settings on the equivalent of Ultra High except for textures (High) and shadows (High) - these make next to no difference anyway, and kill your frame-rate mainly coz of the extra memory throughput they require) .

I have also been replaying the GTA3 series of games (GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas) - I got some hi-rez texture packs for GTA-SA which look stunning, and it's such a good game anyway - so that was nice.

I have also started HL2 - Episode 2, Fallout 3, and F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, and have got S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Skies, Bioshock, GTA 4, Portal and COD5 - World at War in the wings to try out.

I've only just started the first few minutes of HL2E2 so I can't judge it yet, but I loved HL2, and am sure that I'm going to like this one - Fallout3 - don't know how I feel about this one, maybe it's just not my game - everyone seems to have been raving about it.

Really disappointed with Far Cry 2 - I really can't see what they were trying to do with this game - it seems to me like they just wanted to cash in on the good reputation of the first Far Cry game (which I thought was pretty good). FC2 just seems like a load of boring, repetitive pointless nothingness to me - really nice GFX engine, though....

Oh, and Felix - if you're still running Ubuntu (or any other child of Debian), as far as MAME is concerned, xmame (sdlmame, xmame-SDL, xmame-x & xmame-gl) is available in the repos and also available for download are kxmame - a nice KDE MAME GUI and gxmame for Gnome.

Forgot about Warhead ....great game, wrong time to be encouraging young americans it is okay to kill Koreans ...

im still trudging my way through oblivion...

Been nearly a year now!

Love to break out the old roms as well alien versus predator the arcade game is fucking wicked and my favourite game thats gagging for a movie adaptation the almighty "Flashback"!

Alien v Predator is available on MAME.

COD4, GoW2 and Unreal Tournament 3. I love my shootemups

All on Xbox 360

(whispers) - hide and seek with the wife.....she hasn't found me yet ....4 hours i've been in this cupboard!!

I am so gonna win this one!!!

fuck me dude, you have flown through that

err scrabble or prof layton ...gotta love those first person quizzes

rock band - ac/dc live........last night i was angus young

FriendFace .... you been watching The IT Crowd?

Crysis & Crysis warhead is my favorit these days. Alyhought COD WOW is alot of fun to play together in also


i also play a little GRID

what do you mean? there isnt a difficulty setting when you play online.



I play hardcore s&d too, thats where the points are, hq is a bit better for the points but if your good s&d is just as good.

use your weapons and get those 1000 point challenges a few hq games are good for this as its constant rapeage with the killing. not got much playtime in on this yet.



Telling porky pies are we??

thats prestige 10, the 5th one looks like the S.A.S badge

here:

assassins creed + grand theft auto 4,
edit 4 spelling

Yeah I found FC2 really slow and boring also-- it was pretty though.

Tell me what you think of STALKER, my bf has it but says that it's another really slow game.

You should really play Portal already, that game is awesom. I might downloand the xbl arcade version of it which has the levels from the flash game.

Question though.. I have the same graphics card as you but I'm using XP, so everything is dx9. Is there a huge difference between the two cos I really really don't want to use Vista.

There's not really *that* much difference with DX10, but it is noticeable to me when playing Crysis (& Warhead) - the surroundings look more natural and a bit prettier, IMO.

Also, with Vi$ta 64Bit SP1 there is supposed to be, and I am certain that I can notice, a 10-20% speed increase in quite a few games - disk access seems to be a lot faster, too, but that could be down to the SATA ACHI driver that I can use in Vi$ta but not in XP where I have to use IDE compatibility mode.

I'm also using the latest Catalyst 8.12 final drivers which are supposed to contain optimisations for quite a few games.

I just downloaded them. heard they're supposed to bump crysis' performance by 25% & COD wow by 21%-- gonna test them out today.

My bf has an 8800 with vista, so we might try a running both pcs simultaneously on crysis to see if there's a major physical difference.
