The Video Games Thread II - The Resurrection

That's all I'm looking for really - if I can stream stuff from my pc wirelessly that'd be a bonus. I think some of them can do that?

The PS3 does all of what you want - BluRay, streaming from PC, upscaling DVDs, internet connection, external HDDs via USB.

Storm bolters, power fists, bulky suits of Terminator armour and a claustrophobic corridor full of Genestealers. Space Hulk is one of our classic games that's attracted a cult following over the years and many an evening has been spent by hobbyists pounding up and down cramped passageways blasting Genestealers into bloody chunks. Well there's good news on the horizon because computer games developer Full Control have started work on a new Space Hulk computer game.

You take command of a strike force of Blood Angels Terminators as they make their way through the close confines of the Space Hulk - Sin of Damnation. It's a turn-based game that emulates the look and feel of the board game, but with full 3D animation. Genestealers lurk menacingly while the Terminators use their action points, bolter rounds tear down corridors in overwatch cut-scenes and whole sections of corridor are set alight as the heavy flamer hoses them down. There's a lot of exciting features to this game, which will be coming out next year on PC, Mac and iOS.

Just finished Far Cry 3, to avoid spoilers i'll just say it was quite superb!

I absolutely loved Space Crusade the board game and on Amiga (I think).

I used to paint Games Workshop miniatures when I was younger, so this is right up my alley!
 
Miiverse is pretty damn swish on the Wii U. Their are a lot of awesome drawings on it and personally it shows Nintendo actually know what they are doing.

Far Cry 3 :-

"It’s an open-world FPS with Skyrim-esque RPG elements, plenty of side-missions and an exciting series of story missions. The Rook Islands are a little smaller than Bethesda’s epic but are still massive, and walking from one corner to another would take hours. Luckily there are cars and Fast Travel points, although these have to be unlocked by clearing Outposts. The hated guard posts from FC2 have now been turned into a major (and enjoyable) gameplay element, as clearing them also unlocks new missions, shops, and safe areas. To uncover areas of the map you have to climb radio towers (in a manner similar to Assassin’s Creed right down to the swirling camera at the end), and there are also side-quests, mini-games (racing, poker, knife-throwing), challenges (with online leaderboards), and hunting to fill your time between the game’s main missions."

I'm loving it!
 
Good review HW. Going to be getting this after christmas.
 
I'd recommend everyone to get Far Cry 3, it's the first game i've actually continued playing after I finished the story since RDR. The multiplayer is quite stable too! Just waiting on my mates to get it to see what the co-op is like, has anyone tried it yet?
 
I've just brought ZombiU for the Wii U and it is ridiculously hard. It isn't the best horror game ever and kinda reminds me of a typical launch game.
 
Not being classed as a "gamer" we have brought the kids an xbox kinect for Christmas. They begged for Minecraft for which i have already spoken about...But i'd like to know :What is the best football simulation game" out there. (Managerial type of game, build stadia, finances, select team etc)

Football Manager 2013. A game so good it has it's own thread
 
Thanks James!
Which i gather i will have to import as i very much doubt it we have it here in the US!

I know we have Fifa 13 over here is that a similar game or is it more of a playable "Footy" style game, where you control ther players?
 
I don't think you can get FM games on the Xbox can you?
 
Used to be able too. It's only Pc Yankie and can be downloaded off steam
 
you can - I have 2011. Doesn't really work that well though.

You sure about that Paddy? The last one on the xbox was 2008 :p there was 2006, 2007, 2008 on the xbox, then they said they weren't selling enough so they scrapped it!

There's LMA on the xbox, you can build stadiums and whatever on that, but the last one was in 2007, I think anyway.

I miss LMA manager. That was a great game but you had to be awesome with your finances and tactics to actually get Wolves promoted.
