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".

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
