Paid Members JLM Posted December 31, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 I Just finished playing the orange box on the 360. awesome. story, graphics and variety of the gameplay too, so it isn't too repetitive.I've yet to play Portal and Team Fortress on the game, but I'm sure I get around to it soon! Mass Effect!The Orange Box really is an outstanding package. Play Portal during your breaks from Mass effect, it's a short but sublime experience with a healthy dose of comedy from the amazing GlaDos.

The Gaffer Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I might be one of five people on this planet to think Half Life 2 and all its associated expansions are nothing more than generic shooters with generic locations , generic weapons , generic enemies , rubbish stories and a gravity gun/physics engine gimmick to keep the generic PC shooter fan happy. I honestly did not enjoy most of the orange box. A cookie cutter shooter that is neither memorale nor fun.*raises flame shield* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 31, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 In my flu-ridden state I've been playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and it's tons of fun. Fast paced, the graphics are unbelievable even without a HD screen...at points I've just sat and looked off cliffs for ages at how beautiful it all is, the story and voice acting is actually really good for a change and seriously...the graphics...oh my God. The gameplay is simple, fun and pretty action packed. Plenty of hidden goodies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted December 31, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 A heads up for my fellow thumb-blister-ridden UKFFers, there's a rather good sale going on at:  http://www.softuk.com  Gunstar Super Heroes for 4 quid. If you have a GBA or a DS then you need to take advantage. Also Super Paper Mario for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick "Madman" Kelly Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 got a PS3 the other day and got games that my son could play (hes 7) so I got Ratchet and Clank which im having fun playing lol Lego star wars and also spiderman 3 too - i really do need a HDTV though as soon as possible. That Drakes fortune looks good as does Assasins Creed but is there anything else I should purchase that are fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:::Saturn::: Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Madden 08I've spanked that game day and night since it was released. I seriously can't let it go. I wish I had it for the PS3 rather then the ps2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Mike Castle Posted January 5, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 Not really what I'm playing... but just wondering if anyone has a PS3 with that funky card game you can buy for it, and if so... is it any good?I love card games anyway, and adding a game that brings the cards to life on screen looks awesome, but it would only be so if the game was fun to play... so... anyone here played it?

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted January 9, 2008 I had a real Christmas Wii blitz, so here's the fallout. Â Super Mario Galaxy is tingling my tits right now. Sublime design, with lots of irritating bits but so compulsive. It's embarrasing how right Nintendo get the controller. I've just unlocked the last level but I'm not attempting it until I've got all 120 Stars... I'm halfway there. Â I've been heartily disappointed with Twilight Princess. It's so Gamecube-shoehorned-on-to-Wii. Drawing your sword feels laborious, and I get so bored with the reckless control system flicking between inventory and items.... And for goodness sake, grow up and get a jump button. Everything feels really sticky, like they took Ocarina of Time, updated the graphics and did nothing else. There's also a terrible lack of hinting or hand-holding. Often I'm wandering about trying to figure out what the game wants of me... I miss Wind Waker. Â On the brighter side, Wario: Smooth Moves is a stupid slap of fun. 1 second to figure out how the game works, 4 seconds to play it. I love it - particularly the 9 Volt retro NES section. Â Also, I made my first purchase through STEAM, purely on the strength of Eurogamer's GOTY, Portal. But I can't fucking play it until Intel release new graphics drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Deaq Posted January 9, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2008 Has anyone played Stranglehold? the John woo game i just downloaded the demo and was surprised how much fun it was very simler to the Punisher game on ps2 but with a bit of Max Pain as well.

Gwailofilms Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Has anyone played Stranglehold? the John woo game i just downloaded the demo and was surprised how much fun it was very simler to the Punisher game on ps2 but with a bit of Max Pain as well.I've been playing the demo as well. It is essentially Max Payne Goes To Hong Kong. I'm a big John Woo/Chow Yun-Fat fan, so it's great fun.I'm told the full game is pretty short-lived, but if you want to commit to the full thing, hmv.com seems to be cheapest at the moment ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rather good fun and plays like a traditional Collectible Card Game, but it is cool to see the monsters spawn from your cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The British Bushwacker Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 have just completed call of duty 4 on the ps3, although the campaign is pretty short it is graphically the most stunning game i've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
