What are you playing at the moment? - Page 223

I played a little of The Saboteur over the weekend, which was sent to me a little too late on Saturday to send on to the reviewer straight away. Can't say much because of the embargo on the game, but I enjoyed what I played and will definitely look to pick up a copy myself at some point

Playing the Saw videogame for review purposes as well. Pretty decent so far, I like the traps but the combat could be a little better. Not too far into it yet though so I'll try and put a few more hours into it tonight.

The videos of Saboteur I saw looked great. Loved the noir styling

Davey_Pitch · 30-11-2009, 15:37

It's part noir and part normal. As you restore areas of the city, the colour returns, so you will instantly know whether you're in an area where the people will help you (colourful) or whether you're in an area still under Nazi control (black and white). It looks great when you see the colour return to an area as well.

leowyatt · 30-11-2009, 15:51

cool, do we have a release date for this yet?

Davey_Pitch · 30-11-2009, 15:52

Yup, comes out this Friday

Intrigued by The Saboteur. Be particularly interesting to see if any reviewers are a little forgiving with it now that Pandemic Studios are no more.

I've mostly been playing Dragon Age. Absolutely love it, on my second playthrough now and yet to be bored! So much to do still and great to see so many different twists available.

Other than that it's all been review titles! Lego Indy Jones 2 being probably the biggest this week, it's really not as good as the original thanks to overcomplicating the formula

Also got Spore Hero for the Wii but not tried that just yet as I've got some PC games to wrap up first.

Ooh and just downloaded the Commander Keen collection off Steam for £2.99

Bargain!

Absolutely.

I'm now playing through as an archer Dalish Rogue and I'm finding it just as captivating. My only complaints really are that some of the dungeons feel a tad too long and the general loot for the most part is rubbish but these are really minor nit picks.

It's also managed to keep me from Assassins Creed 2 which I adore and that says a lot.

PS did I mention I hit 100k... ok, maybe just once or thrice

I really need to go back to Dragon Age but I'm just too addicted to MW2 for now - I'll probably spend some timeon it when I'm off over Christmas.

I've got the house to myself tonight and all tomorrow as Lynnie is away with her school, so I'm planning on catching up on a few things I've been meaning to play for a while. I'll likely try to finish off the Mothership Zeta content for Fallout 3, and possibly start another new game off. I want to put some more time back into Left 4 Dead 2 and Forza 3, and I may restart Batman: AA as I only put a couple of hours into it when I got it and haven't played it since. Will also try and go through some Special Ops on MW2 if Leo is still free to try it

I finally took the plunge and ordered Demon's Souls from America so that should hopefully arrive before Christmas. I need another challenging game to really get my teeth into and that definitely sounds like it should be it

You done any of the spec ops Davey?
