Gaming room (It's a geeks paradise)

Also, fellow escapist reviewer REbecca Mayes with her weird musical reviews can be as scathing in its own way

You'll just have to watch it when you get home Mr Cat ;)

[SeanMacGabhann]

yeah yeah, people can't beat me at Mr aaah! so resort to watching FFXIII-bashing videos ;-)

It is a funny review and essentially not wrong - apart from the combat - which is the best in any JRPG ever and reaches DMC/Bayonetta levels of complexity. I'm having more fun trundling through these beautiful corridors than I have for a while

[SeanMacGabhann]

has anyone seen videos of Yahtzee as himself - an uncanny resemblance to a certain forumite

[ratty]

Need a new xbox game. Modern Wardare II becoming a bit boring now!

[Floating Onion]

Borderlands!

[ratty]

* googles it

[SeanMacGabhann]

google it??? some of us have been raving about it for ages on here! Whassamatta our word not good enough for you?

[Floating Onion]

Still playing through all of the add ons. Underdome looks like it would be mad with a few people.

Was thinking more for price than recommendation - tetchy! ;)

[SeanMacGabhann]

heh heh

seriously you can borrow mine if you like - I'm going to be preoccupied with FF for quite a while

[mockney piers]

The Mr Aah is referring to me, surely Yahtzee resemblance is BN5 non?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Carnell is slack on the Aaah front as well

But yes - spot on re Yahtzee

[david_carnell]

I admit defeat. :-$

[SeanMacGabhann]

so - Geometry Wars 2, HD Trials (most of the minigames) , and now this -

no fight some people

[david_carnell]

No life some people....

[SeanMacGabhann]

Spoken by a Leeds fan as they slip out of contention

[matty]

No mention of QuakeLive here at all, somethings wrong...Or are you all scared of being pwned by real men (as opposed to pwning 13 year old yanks on Xbox live) ?

Warning, its brutal, most of the console fps players Ive got to try it have come away gibbering and in shock at the level of Gauntlet induced carnage they suffered...

Humiliation by Gauntlet ftw!

[Floating Onion]

Yeah, all of us console gamers are scared of Quake. Yeah, that's it!

:)

[shadow]

try just cause 2 good game not FPS but still a good allround game

[Floating Onion]

Looks interesting. Downloading demo!

Also something I didn't know about till recently. You can buy & queue up downloads online. Next time you turn on the xbox it pulls down everything.

[matty]

"Yeah, all of us console gamers are scared of Quake" from the quit rate of players who only use consoles, I'd say you've nailed it, noobie...

[mockney piers]

I cut my online teeth on Quake 2. Done most since then, especially team

fortress and the unreal tournaments.

Problem was they're all so prone to cheating that in the end I descided I couldn't be bothered. PC became a place I did strategy games and MMORPGs.

Console for immediate kicks and currently MW2 doing that very well.

If you want to get proverbial cocks on to the table I think I may have been on consoles before IBM PCs even existed and almost certainly before you were born.

Noobie. Funny, no really.

[SeanMacGabhann]

sooo, Red Dead Redemption coming next week

The all too obvious "GTA in the wild west" comments aside, anyone looking forward to this? As a Deadwood fan, it looks like Rock* have really nailed the atmos, plus it's very interesting period in history as the wild west gave way to the technology changes

I need to finish FF XIII first tho - all linearity aside, some of the battles are becoming epic

And despite lukewarm reception I?m loving it.

The first steps on Gran Pulse (about Chapter 11) had an even bigger ?holy F***? effect on me than the scientists in Jurassic Park catching first glimpse of the dinosaurs.

[SeanMacGabhann]

And the Zero Punctuation review is in

possibly his best yet

[mockney piers]

Very very good.

I got Far Cry 2 in sainsbury's for 8 quid the other day. It's sort of Fallout 3 in the jungle, and a bit odd, like Fallout it has yet to hook me, mainly for most of the pitfalls so perfectly (as ever) described by ZP in the linked review.
