Mitch Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) My signature is taken from a website lampooning the original N-Gage and the stupid way you held it to make calls. Now I can join the club as I have bought a N-Gage (though it is the newer version so I don't look as silly). Not bad for the Edited July 7, 2006 by mitch_online_uk
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Paid Members Posted July 19, 2006 Free games~! A list of half-decent recent PC freeware. I've also discovered the pure joy of Guitar Hero with two players. It's insane fun. I've been hammering the LocoRoco. It's beautiful, sensational. Stupid chunky bubbly graphics, bouncy babbling music and hysterical level design. It's like the fast clever bits of Sonic with all the annoying shit taken out. Not everyone will like it, it's like eating fried sugar covered in honey, but the game design is fantastic. This is the game PSP has been waiting for. SONY, ADVERTISE THIS ON TV NOW.
Spatular Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 FAO JLM, and any other Ikaruga victims: . I finally got hold of Half-Life 2 for PC last week. It'll surprise no-one to learn that it's very, very good. There's still room for improvement, though. The human animation is really pretty shoddy when compared to console games of even five years ago. Why don't PC developers ever think this is important? In MGS2 the enemies would jump out from cover, duck and run, actually push the radio button if they were going to use the radio and so on. In HL2 they'll take cover alright but don't look for a second like their life depends on it - they do a standing strafe everywhere they go. Such a shame. The non-human enemies are much better. Also still playing Everybody's Golf. PSP owners really do need this game. I got my first albatross at the weekend. Never been made so happy by a computer game in my entire life.

Never been made so happy by a computer game in my entire life. Indeed very little beats the albatross apart from the elusive hole in one. It's a seriously well-designed game, so diverting. And why is collecting the right outfit so addictive?!Still playing Guitar Hero (Frankenstein on Expert, yee-haa) and LocoRoco.
Joe_the_Lion Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Just finished Red Dead Revolver and am about to start Pariah - I am getting everything possible out of my Xbox via the bargain bins before I decide to make the leap to the next generation.
Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted July 25, 2006 Paid Members Posted July 25, 2006 I've wiped the dust off my PS2 and continued playing The Warriors. There's nothing quite like beating the vomit out of people.
Guest Slappy Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Just beat Kingdom Hearts 2 100%. Fantastic game with some great bosses and scenes. I know a lot of reviewers weren't happy with the game but I enjoyed every second of it. Buying a 2nd hand NTSC Ps2 off ebay was a great move.

I never ever play with him - I just wanted the smug sauve tosser to suffer as much sartoriatorture as possible.My Britz has full ninja gear and a matching sword
Mitch Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Remember the fun of the E3 topic back in May? That may will be the last one as it seems E3 is being 'downsized' and will no longer be a centrepiece event with Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo etc holding thier own events. :(I have been playing Tony Hawk & Pathway to Glory on NGage alongside Super Mario World thanks to its homebrew goodness.
lokmad Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I had an urge to play some Resi Evil, so I bought RE4 for the PS2 on Monday. It blew my mind. Just played through the bit where you're holed up in the cabin and they're all coming through the windows and stuff. Amazing.
Paid Members cdm316 Posted August 3, 2006 Paid Members Posted August 3, 2006 I'm currently getting my arse kicked playing Street Fighter 2 on xbox arcade.
Just Me Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge for GBA.Banjo: "That's impressive; you know my name!"Jinjo Oracle: "It's written all over the manual."~
Gwailofilms Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I'm too cheap to buy new games, so I've started GTA:SA again (man, I'd forgotten that dancing on the beach mission was a right cunt) and, through the joys of emulation, I'm blasting through the early stages of Secret of Mana; one of my favourite games of all-time.
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Paid Members Posted August 5, 2006 Singstar Anthems (never confused).Only 20 songs instead of the normal 30 odd - grrrrAlso, "Relight My Fire" is virtually impossible as you're doing three parts all mixed into one. Gary Barlow's lead vocals, Lulu, and bits of the backing. Ridiculous!!!However, Laura~!johnnyboy, Brighton born and bred. Especially this weekend. Serendipitous timing on this release, eh?
