PS - I just checked - it should be Capt Indecisive. Still not convinced but if I procrastinate much longer over it I'll never sign in.

That is there, so is that you or did someone beat you to it?

I miss Crackdown - still need some co-op achievements too.

I think a trip to my sisters house is in order :>

Not me - beaten. Don't really want to use the smelling pistake version as it doesn't read right (t'was one of the tips I read about that it should be easy to read). Bleurgh. :/

Absolutely, as long as you help me get some achievements along the way

Gladly

One of my favourite games on 360 that, happy to spend time in there

Mark - You mean Capn Indecisive? Looks fine to me, just do it already

Davey_Pitch · 05-02-2009, 12:37

Mine too, always forget how much fun it is until I go back to it and toss a few civilians around

Mark if you want something Painkiller-esque and don't mind using cheats then the closest I've come to so far is Clive Barkers Jericho on the Xbox360 which I think is somewhat of a sleeper hit, I really REALLY enjoyed it as did my friend and when we both went to talk about it the first thing we both said was how similar it felt to Painkiller at times, even down to the gothic environments (which at times are stunning graphically).

Dead Rising is a great laugh and aside from being often slapstick funny it is also one of the hardest games on the console depending on how you want to play it, the irony is that for its kind of game it's perhaps captured the RPG elements better than any other RPG on the system.

Crackdown is also a good laugh and as has been said, can be had nice and cheap, can be played in Multiplayer co-op too or SP. It's like Grand Theft Auto 4, but fun. Simon, get it back and I'll play online with you, I've not played it close to how much I should have done - especially as I've had it from the day before it was released

Just to be clear for those who don't understand (some do), I'm after something Painkiller-esque for blatting the hell out of anything that moves rather than the environment. I haven't actually played Painkiller beyond the first few levels because by then it has served its purpose.

That's what I was getting at. I stated that 'even down to the environments', as in 'as well as the gameplay'

Currently got these in the download queue...

Game Demos - Dead Rising, Crackdown
XBLA Demos - Poker Smash, Tetris Splash, UNO, Buku Sudoku

I'll take suggestions for anything else I should go look for. I have a hankering to spend some points too.

PS - Inspiration struck while I was waiting for a bus today. Thought of something no-one else could possibly have, and I was right. Not entirely sure I've got the avatar right, but it's the closest I've got so far.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
