    Alien vs Predator 2 (PC). Got it for 12 yoyos in Smyths. Not bad, not terribly brilliant. Just finished the Human bit and am now jumping from tree to tree as Predator. I watched the movie prior to starting it and the different visual effects/sounds are spot on.

    Rented Sniper Scope 3(PS2) and while it's fun it needs a gun to really emulate that arcade feeling.

    Also on play here at the Batloft are Jak II (PS2) which looks like a decent platformer juiced up with different flying modes, and other such wonders.

    We got two copies of MechAssault for our X-boxen. Have yet to play it multiplayer as we're too busy running around, stomping humans and shouting "ME GRIMLOCK" in singleplayer mode.

    Lastly I'm playing a lot of Erix on my new mobile, a buggy java version of some old game which probably sounds like Erix but never made it to the Pacman/Space Invaders big time. Shame really, it's very addictive.

    Broken sword: the sleeping dragon, i really like it

    Spellforce: order of the dawn, this game is quite quite brilliant, hard to explain, but it just plain old rocks

    unreal 2 xmp, I'll never get bored of seeing those raptors falling from above the clouds

    I too am playing Broken Sword 3 (PC), but I don't think it's particularly good. The puzzles are either simplistic, or else just involve interacting with anything until you get a meaningful result. Graphics are only "okay", and some of the so called jokes are really quite groansome.

    I also managed to ressurect Morrowind (PC), and decided to start again with another new character, and try to use the official (and unofficial) plugins. I just wonder if it'll eat up another 3 months of my life. I'm also considering whether to get the bloodmoon and tribunal expansions or not for the same reason.

    Also I'm playing the usual suspects - Call of Duty, Quake III, Counter Strike.

    picked up shadow warrior there a couple of weeks ago for a fiver, class game, so tounge in cheek, kinda like duke nukem crossed with ninjas:ninja:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 427 ✭✭Epitaph


    I'm currently sans Cube as I didn't have enough room for it at my new place (I konw it's tiny!!), so...
      Advance Wars (GBA): gone back to this after spending months on Golden Sun. By jingo it's hard! :)

      Morrowind III: The Elder Scrolls (PC):
      Just getting into this, only played three times though. Not too happy with the combat so far, but the apparent range of abilities, skillz etc is maaaasive.

      Call of Duty Single Player Demo (PC): Very enjoyable, playing this more than Morrowind!

      Commandos: Beyond The Call of Duty (PC):
      Hard as old boots. Friggin impossible :(

      Thief II (PC):
      Not too shabby at all. Quite enjoyable.



      Still have to install Deus Ex (the first one) :cool:

      Ah Vice City, truly a wondeful game. If you've got it for the PC I recommend getting Vice City Manager (free download) which allows you to replace vehicles without all that tedious name changing and hex editing. Racing around in a Ferrari Enzo is pretty lethal.

      You can also replace the Sanchez trail bike with a Yamaha which not only looks much better but is faster and more fun.

      hmmm... add Vice City to my list of currently playing.


    • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


      Mafia (PC) : still undecided about this tbh

      Chrome (PC) : coulda been class multiplayer. quite enjoyable to be honest, little dodgy in places tho

      Mario Kark: DD!! (GC) : sheer brilliance imo

      Gonna play some rainbow 6 when i get xbox live set up hopefully on saturday

      zelda - wind waker just got it this afternoon, seems fairly mint after half an hours play, shame that i'm currently repainting my bedroom.

      the bit where you have to shoot the pins out?
      tis very easy if you just run around the gaff with a handgun shooting at them

      I'd breathe noxious paint fumes to play this and i've already completed it twice!

      im not even that far! its at the start of the level right there's about 4 guys in total you run around the corner kill them then all these explosive barrels explode killing you and there's no place to hide (accept this big metal box that falls from the ceiling however if i go in there i end up dying anyway :confused::( :dunno: :mad:

      i know there's a way around it i'll find it this is the longest part of any game that ive had to think about in a long long time.

      PS if anyone else is gonna reply to this with the answer on how to do it PLEASE use spoiler tags as i dont want to know how to do it until im driven insane with frustration and start shooting squriels out of the trees in my local park THEN i'll look at the spoiler tags

      Cheers.

      Planescape: Torment (PC) - I'm liking this so far, it's a bit too text-oriented for its own good though, but the humour is pretty sharp and overall it's quite nice.

      Broken Sword 3 (PC) - A bit dissapointed with this tbh, I'm a pretty big fan of the first two, but this just didn't grab me...

      T.H.U.G. (GC) - Delicious, almost finished though, it's always sad when you finally finish every single goal in a TH game :cool:


    • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,152 ✭✭✭sound_wave


      its Kula World!!!
      i knew it looked like some game i played before! Class stuff!

      Thanks a fucking bunch bazH. No seriously, I've always wondered what's it's like to not sleep for days and walk around seeing strange dollar coins spinning in my head.

      Been a while since i played it but if i remember correctly you jump back into the metal box and push a button on the wall to close the metal box up.

      edit by amp for those who haven't got there yet.

      Just finished POP: sands of time but no POP 1 unlocked! I think I needed to finish it quicker or something. Excellent game though. Don't get to play that much because of the LC but in my spare time I'll probably get back into SSX 3. Usually get a quick blast of Time Crisis 3 the odd time too (with gun of course). I love the over-the-top baddies in it.. people that can kick forklifts at you etc. Phun!
