So nothing decent at all. Summertime sucks for videogames, it always amazes me that companies always keep their block-busters until Christmas time, when thousands of other big titles comes out.

Wook

kinda weird because it's during the summertime , people (kids) have more time to play.

It's fine by me. I've 30 games that I haven't touched yet so it's a great time to get through them. However so far I've only got through Suikoden 1+2 and Suikoden 3 which i'm playing now seems like it will be even longer than the prequels.

Ive loads of games I aint finished but i couldnt be arsed geting through them ( probly more than 30 retro )

Its been a long time since I REALLY got into a game - when N64 was out I used to sit down and play for hours every day untill the game was finished... maybe its the games themselfs or just me

Ooooh.......lovely. On the way. Hope it's as good as I'm expecting!

Retr0gamer

Well it's 30 console games, 10 GBA games and countless Emulator games. It was really sad when I had to sit down and put the games that i was never going to finish in my finished games pile. Bye Bye Ape escape. I had some good memories but I just couldn't be arsed beating the last level.

I'm not playing games as much as I used to either. It's probably because of work. The last game when I had truely massive gaming sessions was Metroid Prime. then afterwards I started work and when I get home I just want to rest instead of playing a game.

adnans

wait a minute, you proceed to ask us what games are out today and then follow it up by saying you have 30 games you havent touched. i get the feeling that Stephen was right.

Whats wrong with commenting that it suits me that nothing is out cos i've too many games. These threads get boring any way when some one posts the releases and everyone says 'ah thats crap' or 'ooh I'm getting that'. Nobody complained when my whats out today thread changed to an Ikaruga discussion and that was just as off topic as what i'm talking about.

Now on to XIII. Prae is downloading this for me now. I think it looks very promising. I hope the high level of interaction works well.

Oh my board wars again :rolleyes:

dats an idea..how bout we have a forum for online scraps? Slagging matches

I would say the problem is not you bringing the thread off topic, retr0gamer, but rather the elitism with which you post. In this case, it was slipping in the not-so-subtle reference to just how 'hardcore' you are with so many games to play. Of course, the alternative is just as bad - which is the delusion that anybody here cares about what you do except for Praetorian.

Your dead right...you can pre order it on amazon now and have it for september. Saw a preview and it looks Fooking good. But what i'm really interested is the new counterstrike that will be powered by this new engine

I seriously hope it isn't out in a month or two, but that it's closer to Christmas, would rathe they spend an extra month polishing it to perfection and it being under the tree for me at christmas to play over the holidays then it being released when I'm stating back into college.

According to Amazon, "Counter-Strike; Condition Zero", a single-player mod of CS, where you get 19 missions, comes out on September 1st, sounds nice.
Tho based on the Half-life engine, AI, characters, etc, are updated 8)

Other than that, get Battlefield 1942 if you have DSL, or Broadband. The missions are good for training, but on-line rocks!

You have the option to be a sniper, rockateer, assault trooper, tanker, fighter pilot, sub-commander, destroyer-commander, the list goes on. Good fer laughs, but gift on-line.

According to the "inside the Half Life Engine " interview the ease in which any mod for HL can be converted to HL2 is amazing.
But i think it will create even more lazy modders /modellers who just convert from one game to another then say its theres.
But at least you know that 90% of of CS will work straight out of the box with HL2 and with the SDk being released (Valve loves us weirdos) 3 weeks before the game CS should be fully working by the time Hl2 is released.
Every Model every script should work perfectly but will look like crap because they were made for an old engine
