PC and Console Games

[jcmoorehead]

Ok i'm taking a rough guess that some of you may be into Gaming. If so what games for you like whether it be for PC, PS2, Xbox (Shudders) or gamecube.

Personally at the moment I'm into Battlefield 1942 and GTA Vice City. And I've just completed Enter The Matrix

[Rob The Badger]

I'm an avid Gamer (It requires a capital letter! :wink: )
I'm currently into MGS: 2, GTA: VC, Civ III, and have also just finished ETM.


(I realise that by using these acronyms in this thread, it invalidates my entry in the Netiquette thread :lol: )

But yeah there ya go.
I use my PC and PS2.

[jcmoorehead]

Hmm out of those I've completed

MGS 2 - Weird Ending
GTA VC - Brilliant Game
ETM - Average

You should try Battlefield 1942 its really impressive. One of my favourite games.

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: I haven't played many games on my PC,but one I do like is Red Alert 8) .

Ahh the C&C Series. Brilliant game I must say.

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: Am I right in thinking that you can play Red Alert over the net?
If so,you up for a game sometime?

[jcmoorehead]

Yes you can play it over the net. But i'm afraid I don't have the game i've only played it a few times.

[Testify]

i like Ceasar n things like that, just completed pharaho, only got a couple of weeks ago. I have empire earth n thats abit shockin!!

[tukayaway]

I love GTA: Vice City! It's the most complete game ever!

I'm also into Metal Gear Solid 2, some say that there's too many scenes in between,but it wouldn't be so good without them.Really looking forward to the next one.

I love driving games like Gran Turismo 3 too and WRC rally.

And there's the Championship Manager series and Rollercoaster Tycoon and all of the Monkey Island games. But my favourite game of all time was Frontier Elite 2 on the Amiga.

[Terri]

I also am into Metal Gear solid 2 and looking forward to the next one.

At the moment I am patiently awaiting the release of the new Tomb raider - The angel of darkness.... not long to go now!

[Jen]

Love GTA:VC, GTA:III, MGS, MGS2, the Tomb Raider games (looking forward to the next one) LOTR:TT to name a few for the PS2, haven't actually played ETM myself but watched my sister complete it.

On PC the Delta Force games, Swat games, Age Of Mythology,Age Of Empires, ST:V Elite Force (awaiting the sequel), ST Away Team, ST Bridge Commander, Zeus, Pharoh, Ceaser , Formula 1 Manager, the Sims and an older one but a good one Civillization II.

[jcmoorehead]

The latest Champ Man isnt very good. I must Say I like MGS2 and the 3rd one Snake Eater should be great

[Ellis]

[besty01]

playing final fantasy x at min
bloody hard
ps2

[Chris]

Big fan of C&C (not the new 1st person one) and the Commandos games!!!

[badger]

I mainly play sports games, especially racers. Playing World CHampionship Snooker a lot at the moment (v exciting ;) )

I also love the Medal of Honour games, and the Soldier of Fortunes. I love my little GBA, and have a Gamecube but very few games at the mo (£££ :( )

[Garrett]

My most favourite PC games ever are "Thief" and "Thief 2". So the waiting for "Thief 3" is very hard for me. I also love "Deus Ex" and "System Shock 2". And due to this, I also can't await "Deus Ex 2" and maybe "System Shock 3".

My favourite genre of PC games are ego-shooters. I've played nearly all of them. The best existing ego-shooters are "Kingpin", "Blood", "Quake", "Return To Castle Wolfenstein" and "Unreal 2". But the best is yet to come. I think, that the greatest ego-shooters are the ones in the near future like "Stalker", "Doom 3" and "Kreed".

At the moment I'm playing "GTA: Vice City" and "Freelancer".

[Ellis]

Thief Owns! :D

[Paul191]

I love computer games. I really am avid about them, and i was just wondering which people here are also into computer games.

I mainly love the MGS and Hitman series aswell as the old RTS games such as Command and Conquer and Age of Empires.

[Steve6]

Hey I like computer games too. Do you know what the XBOX360 is like? I've never played it.
I can't wait for the PS3 to come out. It should be great. Will you get it Paul?

[Chris]

Well the old ones are the best - SimTower, SimCity 200, Civ 3.

I will admit to being a bit of a Red Alert addict at uni - any game where you shove bomb up a hypnotised cow's behind and walk it into a camp has got to be a laugh!! They used to provide free internal calls within the halls of residence so we had a server farm going on the top floor and player multi-player versions. Good times!!!
Never got into Tiberian Sun tho.

Also rather like the Commandos games.
Lately I've been playing a beta version of Dungeons and Dragons - it comes out soon and will thrash World Of Warcraft.:cool:

[Paul191]

yeh, ive never played the x-box 360, but my has one and he says its great. Im not really an x-box fan, but i really cant wait untill ps3. It's gonna be so much better i think, especially the graphics.

[Chris]

Xbox360 is great. The graphics are incredible. However, the PS3 will beat it hands down.:twisted:

yeh i love red alert, but im quite addicted to cnc generals at the mo. thats awesome, especially online. If anyone wants to play c&c or AofE online then i will be up for it anyday.

[Paul191]

Im also playin final fantasy 11 online at he mo which is a great riel the world of warcraft which i must say is a genius game.

[SuperLoafMan]

Have to say guys, I am addicted to Driving simulation games and GTA, Love them games. Wonder if they will release the new GTA when the PS3 comes out, cannot wait for this, Anyone have a date on when the final release date will be, I know they said Spring 06' :?

[Paul191]

i dont have a release date but i have also heard that it will be here by the end of spring. I'm also 100% certain a GTA game is in development so i cant wait until then.

[Chris]

Sony are still sticking by the end of March '06.
However, rumours abound that August is where the smart money is.

[SuperLoafMan]

Good Good, The last one was a real success. Cant wait for the new one!!

Really temped to buy the new TOCA Race Driver 3 when it is released on Friday, Anyone heard anything on this game, (If people like this sort of thing)

I agree with you Paul. I love the Final Fantasy games. Even the ones for the PS1 are great...:up: :cool:

[Paul191]

Oh yeh, i'm an avid FF fan. I love them all but my favourite has to be FF10. I was addicted to that for half a year! no joke. Thats half a year of my life wasted. But then again i did unlock everything..... which took me about 350hours!!!!

[SuperLoafMan]

When the new GTA comes out, we have got to set up or own GTA thread lol :lol:

[R.]

We have some small GTA modding threads around somewhere ...

They are so long..:D But really addictive and well worth there value, without a doubt.

Did you ever play Age of Empires for the PC. Another classic..:D

[Paul191]

oh yeh, there'll be so much talk that there wont be room on this thread, lol. I managed to complete san andreas 100% yet was quite disappointed by the fact that you didn't even need to do the rampages and unique jumps etc..

[Paul191]

We have some small GTA modding threads around somewhere ...
oh cool, could you dig them up for us please so we can look at them. I only joined 3 months ago so i havn't been able to find them ,lol.

[SuperLoafMan]

Oh Right R...cool

Still have not completed it yet 100%...In the 90's But I hated the little RC Planes, :evil: Although I hope this one is a more up to date game, although the older years were ok.

[R.]

Dunno, search for "Vice City" "modding" , ...

[AndrewG]

Quite into Fifa 2005 right now. Scun - t- horpe United will be thrasing Chelsea in the few days on my tv! :))
It's incredible how cheap games our nowadays. I remember the days of when the SNES was the thing to have and if you did not have Street Fighter 2 (whopping 60 quid!) you felt rather uncool at school. I don't agree with the hefty xbox 360 prices, althought the computer is really cool. Fair enough the hardware is incredible (better bus speeds /ram speeds than most pcs in fact) but it's ridiculous asking £50+ for games these days. I just bought 4 excellent ps2 games for 20 quid. Been playing Fifa and not even opened the other three!

[R.]

Threads merged. :wink:

Yeah i agree, that is a ridiculous price, lets hope ps3 prices are cheaper. Ahhhh i remeber when i was younger in the good old days playing on street fighter 2 turbo on the snes. That was awesome. It's such ashame that nintendo have gone downhill since then...

[R.]

For the really good old stuff, go here (http://c64s.com/)! :))

[Steve6]

What did you guys think of the SEGA MEGA DRIVE?

What was the first computer console to be released? Was it the Commodore?

[Paul191]

oh, i loved the sega, i was addicted to sonic 2 when i was a little younger. Still an awesome game to this day i think. And i don't have a clue about the first console to be released,lol

[AndrewG]

Yeah I think Nintendo hasn't really kept up with the big hardware guys myself. Though games like Metroid Prime are pretty damn awesome and very atmospheric. I remember Nintendo having a chance in 93/94 to co-develop the playstation with Sony. I would think they regret not taking advantage of that opportunity. Having said that I think Nintendo have invested a lot of research into the Revolution and apparantly the new style controllers are getting an enormous early appraisal from what I've heard. It's just a shame it always seems to take them ages to release anything. Been waiting on the new Mario handheld game for like a year now! Ridicilous.

[Paul191]

haha, cool i remeber playin stuff like that in the arcades like 10 years ago! just after ps1

[Chris]

I have to admit it - i still take the GaneGear when going on long train journeys!
*hangs head in shame*

[AndrewG]

Yeah Sega Mega drive was cool also. Altered Beast was excellent. Even that crazy Michael Jackson Moonwalker game was classic, though I thought it got a bit frustrating after a while! :))

I think nintendo can do it if they really put there mind to it. They just keep making the wrong decisions. The thing with nintendo is that they try to make games and consoles affordable for the general public which is fair enough, but unfortunately doesn't work nowadays. This is because if they want a super console they really need to get spending and this would make the console even more expensive. Even the revolution (there newest console in development) is said to have worse graphics than x-box 360, which is my opinion wont get them anywhere.

[Jen]

360's great... so long as ya have one that works properly :roll:

[Paul191]

Yeh the 360 is really good I think.... I just feel that the ps3 is going to be so much better, especially graphically.

[Rob The Badger]

I've been a Gamer all my life.
It scares me that last time I was here we were waiting for MGS3, now we're all looking forward to MGS4 on the lovely lovely PS3.

No evil, evil X-Box Three-Sh!tty for me.

Really trying to get back into games this season and it's working.
Civ IV
Black
Ico (everyone buy this - it's just art, goddamn art)

soon to be replaying Final Fantasy VII, my personal favourite of the series.

[Paul191]

OHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO! PS3 has now been delayed till november of this year:?. Ah well, at least it gives them time to improve it so it can beat the pants off x-box:D
