Games of the Week (Or month): 24/5/08 Firstly, I don't remember half the games I've played recently, just been throwing everything at myself The ones that spring to my mind are: Grand Theft Auto IV Platform: Playstation 3, Xbox 360 Availability: Worldwide Pricing: ~£40 Genre: Blow shit up I don't think I need to give a description of this game, if I don't your just not cool, so no description here, other than well, it's another awesome GTA game. Verdict: Buy this game if you have had any interest in previous GTA games TrackMania Nations/United Forever Platform: PC / Steam Availability: Worldwide Pricing: Free / £20 Genre: Time Attack Racing Ok, Nations is a FREE game on steam, TrackMania is a racer, go play it Anyway, Nations and United share an online mode, which involves the art of beating other peoples cars around crazy courses with loops and overbanked turns, in your F1 looking car. It supports a stupid number like 40 players on a single track at a time, and as such there is NO COLLISIONS, but that doesn't matter as your 5 minutes of flipping off that same corner cause you forget there's a brake. United, costs money and adds a single player, and I believe more cars for the online (therefore there is a United only part of online, but they play together for the F1 cars), I'm not sure it is worth the $40 off steam, I haven't bought it Verdict: Nations is free, go grab it. I'm undecided about purchasing United myself, we'll see I Wanna Be The Guy Platform: PC Availability: Online Pricing: Free Genre: Evil Platformer This is one of those evil trial and error platformers you should have heard about. There you are, navigating a hard section of moving lifts around spikes, dodging randomly falling spikes, you think you've made it, and then... BAM, the floor falls through and you get hit by a plane (actually happens). If you have issues with getting angry with games, this will either fix that issue of drive you insane and probably cost you about £800 Day Of Defeat: Source (New Beta) Everyone who visits this site knows this game, I've just decided to play DoDs again, just in time for the New Beta incorporating some little tweaks and a new map, although there seems to be a few more maps than last time I played this game... oh and I really suck now
I played rockband this weekend at a mates :] it ROCKS! so much fun when you're with a group and 1 does guitar, 1 drums, 1 sings, and another guitar if you have 2 (he had guitar hero before ;p) also played gta 4 but I can't understand the huge hype about it, and getting a 10 score in magazines... they do nothing new, just make agood game with the same concept over and over again, replay value is getting lower and lower by every version they make, I mean, don't you ever get bored of it?
tbh, i nearly didn't get gta4, because I was bored of all the previous ones, I actually rented it at first, but it proved worthy of the money. Personally, wouldn't give it a 10, but i also don't give games number scores
Yeah GTA4s so overrated, dont get me wrong i still love it but would of prefered some new stuff! especially takin away not bein able to swim underwater, ya fucked if the police are after ya! ah well Saints row 2s out soon should be fun! just started playin COD4 actually, gettin better like anyone play?
nope just played that once at a friend :] also a mate showed me uncharted this weekend (ps3), pretty nice game awesome gfx
