Now playing 2010

    Gunfights are more interesting in the second.

    That's the only thing that's better in the second one. Bioshock 2 is possibly the most pointless sequel ever made.

    You have a lot of small details that's make the game more enjoyable to play, like the pirating system which is a loooot less boring, and you don't have to switch between plasmid and gun anymore.

    For me, it's one of the game I enjoyed the most this year but it's probably because I played it just after playing the first one.

    Finally finished Crysis and Crysis Warhead over the weekend. I might be in the minority, but I think I liked

    the linear back half of the game with the aliens fucking up everything in sight more than the more open first half

    Not playing myself but my flatmates make a playthrough session on Half-Life 2 with the projector and it's hella fun to see some one else from outside the industry playing these games and their reactions

    Oh that's nothing, wait until you're in the Cathedral.

    I played the original Thief long long ago, but it was a weird pirated version with all the NPC sounds removed... except the Haunt sounds. So I was like, "whoa, NPCs make sounds?!" and was freaking out from all the chains rattling and couldn't take more than 10 steps into the Cathedral before quitting. This time I won't be afraid though!

    Finally giving Fallout: New Vegas a fair shake, and I've been pleasantly surprised. How is it that a scavenging simulator with combat and dialogue can be so addicting?

    K im gunna buy crysis so I can play and mod it on my work PC, my laptop is far too shit to hence why I havent got it yet.

    As far as modding goes does warhead have enough extra assets to make it worth a purchase?

    I gave up on Final Fantasy 13 after I got to the end dungeon and got my money back, which is a first for a Final Fantasy game even though I was ambivalent about 12. I have, however, picked up Final Fantasy 7 for £7.99 off the PS3 store and played as far as getting spunky Yuffie outside of Juton and I still think it’s a great game free of most of the negative stereotypes. I'm not going to join the masses and say they need to remake this exactly, but at the very least they need to look back and think maybe, just maybe, this is better than straight corridors of automated fights and no customisation between CG sequences of a fireworks display being gawked at by a cast of characters you'd quite happily punch straight in the face.

    I actually enjoying it more than the 10 and the 12 I never finished. But I understand why people don't like the 13, it's not really a FF and not really an RPG but you can't deny the game is beautifull and I take a look on each details . If I didn't like characters and if the game wasn't so beautifull, I pprobably never liked it.

    I got Left 4 dead 2 for 5 € during the Thanksgiving sale, that's what I call bang for the buck! I also ordered Darksiders for 17 € at play.com, still waiting for it to arrive though.

    hmm sounds like there's something fishy going on with play.com... didn't warby also have problems?

    I ordered it one week ago, since the package has to travel from the Commonwealth all the way to the Reich I will cut them some slack!

    Well it's all opinions, but I'm genuinely confused about this game. I could see people slogging (and that is the correct verb) through the main story to see the next amazing cutscene or even to finish the storyline, though - and maybe this is me just being thick - I didn't even realise

    there were two planets until I ended up on the second one

    . But Gran Pulse missions? Hundreds of hours of automatic battles and fetch quests? I don't get why are people doing this content.

    just bought bf: bad company 2 to find out steam actually will not register most of the retail gamekeys. im growing tired of the restrictions steam has over its consumers because of the monopoly they have on the game market. some competition on the field of online gaming / gamesale would do the average game consumer no harm if you ask me.

    I know most mapcorians love steam, I kind of like steam too. but i don't like where this is going. there should always be some competition and i see none. also: i think steam should make it possible to register retailcodes of every game they have in online sale, as a courtesy to their client. if i want to have some online play through steam, i'd have to pay another 50 euro's, while this game is 20 euros average in retails stores. anyway, steam can go fuck themselves in the ass. i'm off trying to play this game through anything else that will let me. just like the battlefield 2 games i couldn't register...

    Bawww, steam won't let me use their bandwidth for free! You can't expect to be entitled to retail game keys activating on Steam. They get no part of that retail purchase, if you can activate a key it's a deal organized between Valve and the publisher for the convenience of the consumer. It's a bonus, not a standard. If you want the game on Steam, you should expect to have to buy the game on Steam. The list of games that can be activated on Steam with their keys is only a couple dozen out of hundreds of games they sell that also have retail versions.

    I mean, I'd love to be able to register all my games on Steam so I can stop digging out the Deus Ex CD when I want to install it (I've already got two physical copies I'm not buying a third off Steam, not even for $2.50!), but I realize that there's nothing in it for Valve to offer me that service for free.
