    Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge

    do people still play that? Oh I love that game but someone stole my Red Alert 2 original cd, i suspect i was with some kid from school and he did it..

    However he stole my generals too..

    Argh!

    I love redalert2 i have even made levels for it, it's awsome game hopes we all going to see redalert 3 in the near future...

    Devastation.

    Oldish FPS that runs on the Unreal Warfare engine, got poor reviews and the only reason I have it is because it was buy two get one free at GAME awhilew ago. It's ok, pretty generic stuff really, graphics aren't too bad.

    Project Zero 3 (Fatal Frame 3 in some places) hit the shops today, so as a fan of the series I picked it up. Played it for a few hours tonight, and so far my thoughts...

    - It's (at least initially) harder than both of the others, but my experience with the series means that doesn't really mean much this early on.

    - Not as scary, but again, most likely due to my experience. They still get me every now and then with some sneaky scare tactics. VERY sneaky when you think about how they scared you afterwards too - those guys know the tricks!

    - Best story so far, and it ties together the first two games and more quite nicely. In the second game there was the slightest of links, but this one is teeming with them.

    - Very inspired by Silent Hill 4: The Room.

    - They've made the ghosts appear far more "solid" when really close to you, but still plenty ethereal when distant. This makes for some awesome up close shots.

    - Entire game system is still in its archaic form - fixed point camera angles are really beginning to grate now and controls aren't wonderful.

    All in all, it's probably the best in the series judging by the first few hours. My only concern is that the series isn't developing in terms of gameplay; it's just becoming more refined in terms of storytelling and presentation. The camera based combat system is still pretty exciting though

    GAME also had a deal on preowned titles - selected titles at 2 for £5 - so I picked up Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter for the Xbox, and Extreme-G Racing Association for PS2. Not that I hugely cared about either, but at 2 for £5 you might as well! Unfortunately when I got home I found that XGRA actually had the XG3 disk and manual inside...which sucked considering I already own XG3 for the Gamecube Back to the shop it goes to be replaced by...who knows.

    The nearest Futureshop has had one copy of it for at least a year now. It's about $9 dollars (Canadian) and still no ones picked it up. I havn't grabbed it because the demo was pretty incomplete, but I think I might now, just to take it off their hands.

    It's rather fun actually, the only problem is that the AI is a bit buggy and sometimes your friends get stuck in objects so you have to whack them till they become unstuck. The locations are brilliant, loved the rooftop level and 'The Rock'

    The only games I have played for the last 5 weeks are:

    World of Warcraft.

    Warcraft 3.

    Disgaea (BST EVR)

    Half-life 2.

    those people are worthless bastards... and we taylor way to much to them when it comes to content. oh well next two patches will help with some of the content I hear

    Taylor would tailor your content if his application contained any credentials whatsoever and wasn’t thusly sorted into the round filing cabinet seconds after arrival

    Anyway, I made a character on the US realms initially because they all speak the lingo, and was one of the first few to kill Ragnaros v2.0 because I’m a sad git. I found the game completely raid orientated, in fact I had to make a character on the EU realms so I could raid around my job.

    As far as I know the new casual content consists of giving players more reasons to run these same instances they’ve been running for the past year to upgrade their class sets into slightly better class sets... maybe so their PUG lasts that vital second more in the battleground against the tier 2 epic equipped arranged team?

    Of course, I only know what’s been released. I really would hope there’s more planned for casual gamers before the expansion hits. Tigole can quote Vael deaths as he likes, it’s really crying out for a new 5/10-man instance (since ZG didn't really work out as the MC stepping stone, as it's harder).

    Picked up Mace Griffin uber cheap for the Xbox, simply because I seemed to recall hearing it was pretty good. Can't say it's quite reached the lofty heights of "pretty good" as of yet, but I've played worse games. My thoughts...

    - Aiming seems a little odd to me, with vertical looking being quite speedy but horizontal looking starting slow and accelerating. Not in a nice "easy to make slight aiming adjustments" way either.

    - The space combat sections are fairly awkward with the default control scheme, which you can't change in-game - really, in this day and age, what the hell?

    - Your character seems a bit...crap. Granted, I'm not far in, but he just comes across as generic and unlikable.

    - Fairly lame weapons

    - Horrible AI, and I mean horrible.

    You know what? There isn't much to like about this game. Oh, it uses the Halo recharging armour system, which I do enjoy. I'm not too sure I can cite that as a positive point...

    I play now to many games.. First I enjoyed battlefield2 and now I'm playing the new Project Reality mod for it..

    And I'm playing around with AudaCity program (music program) doing my own mixes.. Wicht is very difficult..

    picked up Command & Conquer First Decade the other day. Getting on that old nostalgia trip. Still play Empire at War more than I play c&c, although every weekend me and some of the bms guys get a few games of Generals in.
