Great news! I broke my leg.

valleyoftheunos

I have a stress fracture in my left leg so am wearing a gorgeous, massive, plastic and sexy air cast and have to spend the next few weeks "resting" (although apparently that doesn't mean I don't have to go to work )

Anyways it'll mean a lot of evenings and few weekends in, what ought I be playing?

Get stuck into Persona 3 FES. No better time to try and finish this generations greatest RPG, well other than it's sequel. At least you didn't break your thumb like I always manage!

Mr.Saturn

Tiny Toon Adventures on the NES. It's a SMB 3 clone, but everybody's played SMB 3, so who'd argue with more SMB 3? Anyone?

Instead, play its sequel, imaginatively called Tiny Toon Adventures 2, as it's actually a somewhat better put-together game.

Both games'll only take you a small while, so it leaves room for plenty others.

My vote's for Deus Ex's The Nameless Mod.

Have decided to use the time getting through some of my stock pile of shame, GTA4 first. Have spent about 4 hours on it its good, a masterpiece probably, but its a little slow to start and it probably isn't entirely my cup of tea. I can't see me spending more then another few hours on it before getting bored and starting something else.

GTA 4, I go back to it every few months, finish a few missions, then go and do something else, before gradually heading back and doing some more.
It's a great game but the driving sometimes feels more like a commute, this combined with the poor placement of mission checkpoints, usually at the start of the 15min commute to the actual objective, hardly makes it a pick up and play kinda title.
Some day, some day soon, I will invest in the two mission packs.
I must say, I found Red Dead far more compelling and entertaining, but that may have been more to do with being a fan of westerns

Mr.Saturn

I know it's gonna come across as contrary, but I don't think GTA4 is a masterpiece, by any stretch. It's a prolonged, glorified tech-demo for the gen-7 machines, that plays like its predecessors, with a bit tighter driving and aiming, but mostly dried of all the laughs, craic, madness and surrealism of the gen-6 trilogy. Instead, it's just a string of gangster-movie tropes.

Besides, your opinion seems to be the general consensus, wow for a while, but then bored, and it never gets finished.

From what I hear and read, its add-ons actually do more justice to the GTA franchise, if it's worth anything.

Gta4 is alright, definitely isn't a game you'd sit down and play for hours on end but a good one to slowly chip away at. Not a massive fan of the story either but visually looks amazing.

Thats actually spot on I think

Have spent about 8 hours total on GTA4 now, its fun alright but still a little slow for me, lots of driving people around not as much action as I'd like. I thought I'd be over it by now but I'm still into it primariy because I'm interested in seeing what happens to Nico and I know I've only scratched the surface of the environment.

Never finished GTA IV myself, the missions are a bore alright.

However, for sheer 'blow the **** out of everything' after a bad day it can't be beat. Just a shame you can't turn off the damn police. I'd like to go on my rampage uninterrupted thank you very much.

valleyoftheunos - sorry to hear about your leg! If you can, try to move that bugger as much as possible. I broke my leg really badly about 2 or 3 years ago, got a severe DVT and it's now borked for life

Have actually been working like a maniac all week and with the cast on I'm just to exhausted in the evenings to play much.
