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".

    • Hi, hoping for a bit of help from the forum hive mind so thanks in advance.... Our property on Barry Rd was included in the External Major works that took place in 2022 (Dulwich Externals QHIP 19/20 Street Properties).  Recently we have discovered that Saltash, the contractors who carried out the work, basically patched and painted instead of fixed or replaced rotten window frames and didn't do anything to the cracked brick work which has now caused a bad case of damp in our property. Does anyone whose property was included in the works have information of any warranty or guarantee of work that was promised by Saltash or the council? As we moved in just before the work took place we weren't privy to the original communications around the work and I'd like to know where we stand before approaching the council to get it fixed..  Thanks!
    • used to love Meson don felipe with the funny guitarist who used to climb up and play on a podium, still a nice lively atmosphere and we still pop in if at the young vic but there's a lot better Spanish eateries near Borough market which is closer to the Tate too. Barrafina, Brindisa (though neither are cheap) and a few weeks ago we tried one called Parrillan, where they bring a little grill to your table and you cook your own tapas - this one certainly ticks the box for quirky but the portions are small so the bill can mount up.

    • How about Ev or one of the other places under the railway arches in Isabella Street behind The Cut.  And there's leafy outdoor seating if the weather's nice.
