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've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
