Get The Orange Box, Bioshock now! I order you to!

And Crysis, COD4 and UT3 when they come out.

I will have you broke by the end of the year!:D

But yes...2007 has been a good year for gaming.

Genghiz Cohen

Excellent year, if Gears of War makes it out for the PC before 2008, BEST YEAR EVER!!!

dont get bioshock...it really sucks, most repetitive game ever.

but ya, UT3, cod4, hl2, and now crysis .....nice!:cool:

Creamy Goodness

he already has it.

tbh i thought bioshock (system shock clone) wasn't that great, well certainly not worth all the huge reviews it was getting exactly the same goes for halo 3.

Get orange box and play portal at least. It will only take one evening and it will be the best evening of gaming you spend all year.

True that there's way too many good titles at this time of year though. There's a whole bunch of games like Bladestorm and Skate which I really enjoyed demos of but there's no chance I'd buy them because of all the big hitters being out at the same time.

Silenceisbliss

ye all like portal???...really?....

i gave it a go (only for like 5 mins on the first level), confused me. WTF is it anywayz?.... ya put a ball here, a portal opens...you go thru.....you win....yey...?

Oh jesus dont talk to me about games,after having a quiet month in october,november looks to be a buzy month as there are a hell of a lot of games that I want,some of the titles I'll be purchasing next month are as follows:

age of empire:the asian dynasties(3rd expansion)
call of duty 4:modern warfare
crysis
empire earth 3
fear: persus mandath (excuse the spelling:o)
supreme commander:foraged alliance
timeshift
blacksite:area51 (maybe :P)

I think thats all I plan on buying for the rest of this year :P

If anyones interested in not spending money and have HL2 then i suggest you look up the mods that have been created from it. There are some really good ones out there. Some are back in the time when there was speculation what would happen (before episode 1) They're all free too.

I thank Cremo for his generous gift again and wish to express my disapointment of lack of support for DX9 shader model 2 cards. I want to play all these cool ass games. I needs me a new graphics card. Damn you all to hell.

I was considering getting an Xbox 360 when the CPU revision is released, but now I think i'm going to stick with PC until i've exhausted my backlog. I've also pretty much given up on demos as I have far too many full games i've yet to play or finish.

Its kind of annoying actually because there are some games i'd like to savour and play for a few weeks. But by the time i've blitzed through it once a new game is out so I just move onto that. I never seem to make it back to playing the other game again.

Also, I used to love getting into the multiplayer aspect of the game, but now I end up not bothering as a new single player game is released pretty much as soon as i've finished.

I'd dread to think how long the backlog of games is for people who PC and console game.

Life was so much easier when I only liked one genre (i.e. FPS)

EDIT:

hmm... you'd get up to level 15 in like 40 minutes. I'd always give a game at least 2 hours before calling it quits. This game really gets you in the last act so I wouldn't give up on it until you've completed it. The whole game is only about 2 hours long

MooseJam

I agree, too many good games out, it's an expensive hobby

your not even 1/3 through the game................

ntlbell

Never mind all that I only got prince of Persia sands of time today.

I have far much to be playing before I touch any of them shiny new ones!

my back catalogue of must play is getting slightly embarrassing!

tman

Tell me about it!
And to make matters worse, I decided to give Ninja Gaiden Black a proper go recently, and have fallen head over heels with that.
I've limited myself to only playing Metroid Prime 3 and that until I complete both of them, but it feels like I'm cheating on the other one whenever I play one of them:(

SligoBrewer

suppose ye can throw in football manager 2008 into that as well.

can't wait to get my mitts on it:)

Well I certainly don't think it was worth all the hype - fun all the same.

Gonzo

for me this is the most enjoyable year of gaming since the snes days were at their peak way back in 92/93!

Retr0gamer

There really is far too many good games out now. The 360 has a must have title at least once a month. It's such a great console. I hated the original xbox, for me it was the worst console I ever bought bu the 360 is fantastic. Now the Wii is getting some excellent games and at some point the PS3 might :rolleyes:

Still I've always had far too many games to play now.

From what i've heard of it, it's got very very little extra than the last one, prob best to save your cash for something else

Dr. Dodger

Theres just too many. What we need is a place you go and pay for the memories of playing all these games, ya know like that Recall place in Total Recall. Imagine, if you could go and get the memories of playing the entire Orange Box, Bioshock and Guitar Hero 3 in the same week + you could play them all with a hot blonde on your lap or as a secret agent.

"Isn't that worth a measly 300 credits!"

R0ot

Orange box!!!! Get it now!

orangerooster

It is true that its been one hell of a year for gaming but the fact that my 360 decided to pack it in just as Mass Effect went gold irritates me hugely. They had better get it back to me before it comes out!

corblimey

I'm in the same boat as everyone else, the next few weeks are going to be pretty pricey. Worse for me though is that every time I look at my game shelf, I see all these PS2 games that I want to play, but the save games are on my old PS2 memory card and I don't want to spring for a conversion thingy so I'm going to have to play these games from scratch again (Ico, Colossus, God of War 2, GTA Vice City Stories, Katamari and Okami). It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it

Silenceisbliss

see thats why im not a fan of consoles....ya have to buy games for them :rolleyes:

Krieg

Damn right

Before bioshock, the last good game I bought was Hitman:blood money
That was some dry spell. A bunch of my mates have formed a pact to buy 1/2 different games each and then swap when finished, its a Great idea, considering the cost.

generally how it works, someone makes a good game you buy it therefore they make another.

I know its a hard concept to grasp.

First that I've heard of it as well, they really rolled out the hype machine for that one!:p

Retr0gamer

First I heard as well. Will be avoiding like the plague. SOF 1&2 with dire.

awhir

can some1 list all the must have 360 and pc games for this and next month :

The Queen

looks really good to me. I didn't play the first two all that much (my boyfriend loves them) but i will probably give this a go

from the look of detached legs and half mawed bodies i guess the game is soldior fortion ? am i right

mewso

Funny it's been a bit of a meh year to me.

Bioshock - enjoyable but I've played System Shock 2 before.
UT Quake Wars - good but I'll wait for some devotee to do a WW2 mod.
UT3 - as an old original UT fan I rarely get excited by UT games anymore.
HL2 Ep2 - fine but Valve should now accept that the idea of episodic gaming is done. If I have to wait this long for a such a short experience then forget about it.
Portal - For me the saviour of the year. Gaming gold all be it short gaming gold.

I'm hoping COD4 and Crysis can redeem the year in gaming for me.

Nick_oliveri

Wow, detached limb "realism". I want this SOF game. Bet i cant run it.

Wow, i heard it was longer than episode 1.Still though, if its part of the orange box bargain pack, its probably worth it.

This surely is a thread to get me saving on a better card than a Radeon X800.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Episode 2 but I just think the whole episodic concept is a joke at this stage.

Nick_oliveri

Yeah it is a bit of a joke but they are only doing that because they would have to do a major overhaul of the engine/physics and graphics for a HL3.

Then get pressured into a newer counter strike. Probably not worth the anticipated whinging. I cant even remember playing condition zero.

Krieg

Soldier of fortune never grabbed me either.
SOF3 seems like a joke, ive seen from videos showing that small bullets can tear limbs off, with extra blood. Im betting the extra gore is to make up for the sh**** gameplay

MooseJam

sof was a great shooter, lots of fun, the blood and guts was just an added bonus

I'd have to agree with you on the year so far. Portal being by far the standout title.

Earlier in the year Crackdown was great, and more recently Heavenly Sword and Folklore have been really good games, but nothing super amazing. And nothing (themselves included) has come close to the ridiculous hype the likes of Halo and Bioshock received.

Still, with Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Mass Effect, Ratchet & Clank, CoD4 still to come the year should end very strongly. I don't think we're yet getting up to the heights of quality we had when the PS2 was in its peak about 2 years ago though. There's nothing coming that I can see being anywhere near as memorable as a Grand Theft Auto or a Metal Gear Solid or a Final Fantasy, except maybe Assassin's Creed if they pull it off right.

Silenceisbliss

eh, will GTA4 be comin to pc actually?...think itl take a while?

cregser

I'm waiting for midnight before I can download Portal to give it a lash (exceeded monthly limit). I was more concerned about getting TF2 than Portal, having already played Narbacular Drop.

I loved SOF2 mainly for the online play. Don't need SOF3 as I have TF2 now

PES2008 and TF2 should keep me happy for a while. Only really looking out for Spore which is 2008. If I get bored then there's Civ4:BtS which I've neglected. That World in Conflict was the other game that tempted me - but I won't get that till I complete Ground Control 2 (also neglected).

TF2 s a good laugh in multi player, its like a freekin cartoon, brilliant.

i HATE portal, i really dont see wat ppl see in it, its pure and utter bollocks! its the type of game id expect to play on newgrounds or summit... its STUPID!!!

BopNiblets

You're just mad because the cake was a lie.

CyberGhost

I've managed to narrow the list down to 3 games,

CoD4 - a definite purchase.
Gears of War - Never played it, but it looks like tons of fun, I'm really excited to try this one out, but to warrant a purchase I will have to wait, see if it takes off online.
Need for Speed: ProStreet - Looks good, I'll try the demo out tomorrow, but I think I'll end up sctraching this one off, I'm too much of a fan of GTR2 and in-car views.

Others that were scratched off of my list:

UT3 - Too fast and twitchy, loved the first one when it came out but Call of duty and Battlefield stole me away with their slower tactical yet still arcadishly fun gameplays.

Quake Wars - Again very UT-ish, didn't really like it at all, vehicles suck and so do the weapons.

Crysis - Too heavy, I'll probably keep an eye on it though, see how it does online, but I don't really find 32 nano suits running around fun.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway - delayed into the infinity.

Team Fortress 2: Well it does look fun but it looks like the kind of game I'd have fun with it for like an hour then I'd get bored with it, plus I like huge varieties of weapons, which TF2 doesn't have.

HL2:EP2: I'll wait till the trilogy is finished then play it all through from the beginning to the end.
