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 :(

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

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.

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".

      I personally, just lost respect as this is not the time to.disrupt hospitals and put additional strain on stretched resources.  BBC News - Doctors vote to go ahead with this week's five-day strike https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c246dnyjylqo

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm guessing that most people with pets would not bring either the pets or fireworks into their day to day conversations, to complain or otherwise. Are you suggesting that only "timid" pets are scared by fireworks? What evidence do you have for that, exactly?  Or are you equating being scared of fireworks with being "timid"? And what about the foxes and other wildlife? Is it ok for them to be scared? Firework noise is not a noise that "comes with normal city living" ! What a very strange thing to say! Are you one of the people who have been constantly letting off fireworks recently? I'm assuming you don't have any pets yourself, or you wouldn't have these opinions, but if you do have pets, please share how they react when they hear loud bangs. Unless they are goldfish, in which case you probably wouldn't be able to tell.

      Well, I know a lot of people in London with pets and I've never heard any of them complain about fireworks.  Maybe what's not ok is keeping timid animals in a metropolis when they are scared of the noises that come with normal city living.

      Dawson heights parking charge notice

      By Happyme5 · Posted

      We git a ticket when we tried to park there to watch the fireworks.  Anyways we didn't even get a space and so we didn't actually park.  But we got a penalty notice.  We just paid up.  And we won't be taking our car their ever again.  You probably needed a Southwark council visitors permit.  I imagine it would have needed to be booked online B4 or by the end of the day that you parked. Beat thing to do is contact Southwark Council Estate parking to clarify the situation.   I hope your freebie was worth the value of your penalty.
