If you don't have them anymore so that was the plan to blame her and not to be blame

as usual. ha, ha, ha, Hope BT security is looking at this now.

Please explain forumites

I'm going to do the same with LA Noire.

Now ?25 on Amazon. Just ordered it with my birthday money. A phrase I haven't used since my teens I suspect

[Otta]

Not had much gaming time what with new baby and a toddler, but finally managed half hour to look at L.A. Noire.

First impressions are very good, the look and feel are cool, and the gameplay just like RDR or GTA4. Basically, it's another good game from rockstar.

[StraferJack]

Can't you even fucking pick up lava? Because I can

Unusually positive reviews from Zero Punctuation for 2 new XBLA games.. I agree with him on both, but have a real preference for Bastion. It's just... like games they way they were but made now.

Otta - LA Noire I intend to check out because I like the location, Rockstar, Mad Men and the concept. But I have a feeling that it is a starting point for a much better sequel

[StraferJack]

wow - real life actors performing (?) some Portal concepts

as it says turn up the volume and HD option

fantastic stuff

[giggirl]

Anyone know anything about PS Resistance? Is it any good?

[mockney piers]

I've embarked on Deus Ex Human Revolution.

So far so good, and it feels really deus exy which is the most important thing. Dark, brooding, conspiracy laden, neon drenched cyberpunk stuff, but prettier this time round and with better acting.

[paragon]

me too...I like it also. Seems very similar. Don't like hacking though!

[mockney piers]

Remember the tedious hacking mini game in bioshock though, now that was annoying.

I loved on review of DE:he where the chap said that though the AI of the notoriously short sighted guards in the first game has been vastly improved upon, that their lack of inquisitiveness was a new flaw.

His favoured hacking method was to build a little camp from boxes every time the guards back is turned and then sit inside and do the hacking unseen once it's complete out of their line of sight, but you mightbhave thought they ought to be suspicious.

I played the last two Elder Scrolls games and was looking forward to the new one. Unfortunately my graphics card packed up the other day and although I found a spare in a shoe box on top of the wardrobe, it must be a late 90's early noughties vintage and looking at

I don't think it's going to be upto the job.

[mockney piers]

I guess I'll just play it on xbox. Oh no, time sink alert!! God knows I've already been bkeary eyed after a couple of 2am Deus ex sessions.

[Otta]

I'm going to put off buying it, until I've finished a couple of other games, and seen to my affairs. Oblivion took over life for a good while, and I imagine this will do the same.

It'll be a shame to miss the kids growing up, but, you know...

[mockney piers]

"and seen to my affairs"

Jesus Otta, you making it sound like a last meal or something!!!!

[mockney piers]

Groove coaster on iOS and android (I think).

Basically it's guitar hero with crazy Japanese techno and a Rez dynamic.

Simple, weirdly beautiful and plays brilliantly.

Okay, so I'm on half term, and had lots of Gaming planned, with Alice: Madness Returns, and L.A. Noir amongst others.

Instead, I played 5 minutes yesterday, then the screen froze, and I got The RRoD.

Anyway, as a result, I've decided to upgrade to a new xbox, with big hard drive. Does anyone have a Data transfer kit I could borrow?

Don't mind buying one for ?12, but as I'll (hopefully) only need it once, thought I'd ask.

[StraferJack]

Otta - I've got one knocking around if you drop in.

[StraferJack]

As I'm in here I have to wax about Dark Souls

Simply stunning - most intense video game sessions I've had in years and years

Brutally hard - way beyond anything you might have experienced since the 80s

It's so brutally hard, just reading this post just might have injured you in some way

[Otta]

Cheers Strafer, I'd definitely appreciate the loan.

[StraferJack]

****ing Skele***ingtons. Mother F***ers

Gaaaah!!!!!

[Otta]

Still enjoying that game then?

[Marcus]

Dark Souls - sounds utterly bereft of fun...

Battlefield 3 - now that's a game. You can shoot people, and then you can do some running, followed by some shooting, intriguingly interspersed with more running. What's not to like? But seriously - AWESOME!

[StraferJack]

Au contraire. Dark souls the most fun I've had with a game in years. It has made me cry as well tho

[Marcus]

I must admit that I'm quite tempted - it just sounds a bit heavy, time investment wise.

My wife expressed "deep concern" this morning at my recent, stupidly late to bed, ps3 induced, brain scrambling - inversely related to general productivity. I just don't think the marriage can weather Dark Souls - for Christ's sake, think of the kids!

[StraferJack]

I think you might be right. It's definitely got the potential to do damage

[Marcus]

The first rule of this post is, YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT THIS POST. The second....

Anyone running, or considering running a high end gaming PC?
