And ni even more exciting news than the prospect of Deus Ex 3, apparently Duke Nukem Forever is due out next year *stifles sniggers*, no really *bite......cheeek....*

[SeanMacGabhann]

Well it was cancelled ? but as the people who picked it up are Gearbox, responsible for Borderlands I?m suggesting it will come and it will be awesome (and I am meh about the original Duke?s)

[EDKiwi]

Wait, I'm confused, I thought it was out already, I mean Yahtzee reviewed it ages ago........oh wait a minute *clunk*

Duke Nukem Forever

(Yes I am joking, still one of my favourite review tho)

Steam trade-ins rumours, an attractive idea.

Just seen on the news footage of the big rally in Washington today.

Did a double take as I saw a placard in the middle of the crowd saying:

RELEASE DUKE NUKE'EM FOREVER

[mockney piers]

Have downloaded Limbo, and quite simply, WOW, cor blimey guv'nor etc.

What a truly amazing game. Incredibly beautiful, lovingly animated, scary, absolutely soaked in a morbid dread yet filled with humour and more inventiveness than a hundred call of duties combined.

And I'm sticking with the ico similarities, that, shadow of the collosus and limbo are in a league of their own in crossing over between gaming and art and the ability to genuinely elicit emotion from the player.

Playing it makes me feel like I did watching hammer horror films when i was about 9.

And the moments of jaw dropping beauty like the rain splashing on the glass roof.

Cripes.

If any xbox owners hVe yet to buy it, best tenner you'll spend.

Pity then that I'm 42% of the way through after about an hour and a half :(

[SeanMacGabhann]

Finally you took the plunge!

I still replay it after finishing it twice. It's just wonderful

[ratty]

Black Ops arrived Saturday. Had a little go last night (was awayfor the weekend) and found it quite intense!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

A new wave of military FPS's arrive and I'm shut out in the rain for at least another month

Can't be doing with 'em

More Pinball FX 2 for me

[david_carnell]

Pinko.

"Get some nuts" MacGabhann! Or try and concentrate on beating my Doodle Jump score on the iphone. Currently stands at 36000.

Anyone else?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I?ve made it to 30k on Doodle jump but dear got the amount of swearing and frustration, often in public means I have to limit my ?goes?

But yes, for now you reign

[Keef]

Cool, I'll download that Limbo. About time I played something other than Oblivion, and it's various add ons!!!!!!

(quite enjoyed the "Knights of the nine" add on though, and got me a great sword!)

[SeanMacGabhann]

EA have registered some new SSX domain names - a current-gen SSX could be a magnificent thing

It might even use kinect properly

[SeanMacGabhann]

Now this amused me this morning

Choose your company name carefully people

[paragon]

I used www.expertsexchange.com for years without seeing the 'other' reading. They've stuck a hyphen in now.

[mockney piers]

paragon, io think ratty said he'd got it. 'intense' was the description.

Loz, there are some classics out there

therapists, speedofart, whorepresents, kidsexchange (on a theme) etc

Downloaded Limbo yesterday, brilliant, thumbs up from me also. I especially like how they change the actions of some of the traps so you think 'oh I've seen this before, you do A' when they have changed to so you need to do B. Nasty but gave me a few 'you bastards' type laughs.

[ratty]

Limbo eh? Yeah, I have Black Ops. Lovin' it!

[EDKiwi]

Black Ops good then? Think that will be my next purchase, just need to find the time to play it.

[ratty]

It just keeps giving. Have not really tried online yet. Or zombies! Just idling through the campaign.

Downloaded Limbo trial just now. Like it!

[paragon]

Black Ops is really very good indeed. Have played the single player bit yet but online is brilliant. Still don't understand how people are level 40 already. they must play it constantly.

Having finally torn myself away from Oblivion (I'll still go back for more), I've been trying various games that a couple of kind forumites loaned me. As a result, I have to say, that I am really not a FPS fan.

I like a bit of shooting and sniping, but I need more. There games just get very boring for me after a short while, because there is no real variety.

I really liked this (quite silly) game on Wii "Day of disaster" or something. The reason I enjoyed it was that it had running around, solving puzzles, some great gun battles, some driving (which admittedly I didn't like very much), and a very OTT storyline. Basically it was fun. The likes of the COD games basically bore me, and I especially didn't like the modern warfare one.

Anyway, I've just finally gotten round to ordering Red Dead Redemption, which I've been wanting to play for ages. That seems more my cup of tea, with some shooting to do, but other stuff too.

So, can people recommend good RPGs for me please, because these are obviously my "thing".
