What are you playing at the moment? - Page 33

Right finished Crysis.. Thank **** for that. Total pile of poo!

Short (thanks god), Bugs, system meltdowns and nothing new tbh. The only part of the game I enjoyed was going through the ships corridors at the end which I thought looked really good. How on earth this scored so highly in PC gamer is beyond me. Talk about giving a game score purley on what is looks like. Are these the people that judge books by covers? Appauling and the worst game I've played.

My next game will be either COD4 or Company of Heros : Opposing fronts.. not sure yet.

What's Assassin's Creed like?

oh Is it anything like Thief Deadly Shadows?

Davey_Pitch · 14-04-2008, 17:57

Nope, not from what I remember of Thief.

A rather large bump

Been really enjoying the games I've been playing of late. Really renewed my interest in the 360. Lately I've been playing a bit more out of habit than anything, but recent additions have helped immensely.

BiA: Hell's Highway: Annoying at times but good fun when I want a challenge

Too Human: Really surprised by this, I wasn't sure what to expect so I waited till it was cheaper (got it for £20 new), but it feels just like the kind of game I like.

Not sure if it'd be worth full price but for £20, it's good fun. Does seem like it'd be rather short though. I completed the first act very quickly.
Fifa 09: Playing a Be a Pro season bit by bit, started out as a reserve for Chelsea playing Attacking Midfielder. One of the best football games I've played in years

Pity I'm not overly good at it! I suck at online in particular.
Viva Pinata: Returned to this as I felt it better to complete this before I moved onto Trouble in Paradise. It's getting a bit busy now but initially it was a nice relaxing game. I have reached a slight problem with trying to work out what to concentrate on next but hopefully the game guide will help with that

Been playing Sonic Chronicles for the DS too for a review, not bad but nothing overly special. Good introductory RPG for kids though

I finished Spiderwick chroniclse with my daughter and really enjoyed it. It was the right length (6/7 hours) and the collection achivements were actually fun to do.
I'm now about half way through Frontlines: Fuel of War and I am enjoying it in albeit in small bursts, one level at a time. The achievements for doing each mission without dying raise the adrenelin and all in all I'm glad Nokkon recommended it.
Burnout: Paradise I both love this game and hate with a passion. I've just received my Burnout: Paradise license and it's reset all the races (again). I'm not sure if I can truly be assed to do all 100+ events; I'm also rubbish at the stunt runs. Might be one I dabble in from time to time
Castle Crashers finished collecting all the animals with my daughter earlier and going to have a real push to finish it today or tomorrow. A great game

Of course, come next Thursday when I get my grubby mits on Fable 2 all this will be moot. I'll have but one game to play

Admiral Huddy · 15-10-2008, 15:11

Just started Brothers in Arms : Hells Highway. Not sure how this is going to pan out since it's based on a failed allied invasion??

Also, I'm 1/4 through Tomb Raider Anniversaries. I love TOmb raider games (except Dark Angel). I've had this lying around for ages and I always enjoy playing with lara

Creature · 15-10-2008, 15:35

Just finished the main story of Frontlines: Fuel of War and now going for the stopwatch and Ironman achievements I didn't get on the way (died 1 minute from the end of the last level

)

Still playing Rock Band but starting to get a tiny bit bored of it, as there's no challenge left in it anymore, except the drums which I can only play when no-one else is in (never)

Fifa 07 and Blue Dragon will occasionally get thrown in as well, but not much recently as I lose touch after a while and then I cba, especially with BD.

PS3

FIFA 2009 - Enjoying it quite a bit. Just playing some single player tournaments and leagues at the moment.

Wip3out HD - The Franchise and Concept that never really changes but still is pretty damn hawt with every iteration. This is no different. Multiplayer is slick

Resistance - What a steam piling of linear turd this game is. Very little variation. Without having lots of little signs here there an everywhere saying walk through this door or that door, you literally can only walk through this or that door. I think it is going to take time to transfer my crack shooter skills from Mouse and Keyboard to controller.

PC

Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer - Still a half decent multiplayer experience in short bursts. This despite little to no community built maps or mods.

Company of Heroes - Still the Daddy of single and multiplayer RTS game in my opinion.

My main game at the moment is Fifa 09, which I'm really enjoying. I'm surprised by how quickly I'm getting good at it, as I've had to bump up the difficulty to World Class (1 level off the top) otherwise my Everton team beats everyone easily. Even on World Class I'm winning, but I'm having to work for it a lot more, only managing to beat Arsenal 2-0 with 2 late games from my star forward - me!

The other game is Lego Batman which I'm working through with Lynnie and really enjoying it. The levels are shorter than any of the previous Lego games, which I'm enjoying, and the cut scenes are perhaps the funniest yet. We've only 2 missions left (5 levels per mission) before we finish it, so after that I'll be selling/trading it and then renting it again in the future to whore all the achievements.

Of course, like Abooie that'll all change when Fable 2 comes out in just over a week, as Lynnie and I will be playing through that. Then Fallout 3 comes the week after that, then Gears 2 the week after. Having realised I've got more to sell than I thought, I'll be getting all 3 of the above on release, as well as 1 of 3 other games (Dead Space, GH: World Tour, or Sacred 2). The ones I don't get now I'll get for my birthday or Christmas
