The Video Games Thread II - The Resurrection

[James]

Never had any trouble with my Psn auto renewal.

I've got Gears 3 - I love horde. Are you on my friends list already?

Not playing all that much right now though.

Don't think so Langers, Wanderers89, capital W at the start, really enjoying Horde!

 

[James]

Is anyone else except Bandy getting the new Sim City?

If you are we should set up a multiplayer game. It would be nice to see what sort of city some of you would build before I let all my criminals loose on it

What platform is that on?

Pc mate.

 

[Bandyrastard]

I think I've got it. If not I will get it again.

I have got it. I'm on nights tomorrow and Friday. Off Saturday and back on nights from Sunday to Friday.

My favourite version of Sim City was on the SNES. Loved playing that.

Do people play games for a few hours and then just forget about them?

I've downloaded 30 mods for Skyrim (mainly new quests), so this summer will be great.
I'm still playing Far Cry 3 (50 hours) and enjoying it all.
I'm ready to play The Walking Dead (PC Game Of The Year) but I just need to finish Mass Effect 3 first.

Trying to finish off Gay Tony this weekend - if you know what I mean!!??

I love games!

Apparently it's a lot more easier and multiplayer is in the game.

The Walking Dead game was one of the best gaming experiences I've had, so intense and gets you so involved and immersed in the world. It's weird because as an actual game you don't really do that much but as a story/experience it's brilliant.

Mass Effect 3 is on my 'to get' list still but Dead Space 3 is out in a couple of days, thinking about Sim City and waiting for the South Park RPG (which looks awesome).

It's actually out the 8th March. Saw in Tesco's earlier.

And Stan, if you look at my post at the top of page 93, you will see a link to how good it actually looks.

Nice one I'll have a look when I'm home

Had a fantastic game of Horde last night, just jumped on with some strangers, we were on it for hours, got to Level 40, but just couldn't get past it, came close a few times, close but no cigar. Really enjoying this the more I play it.

 

[Langers]

Yeah it's ace fun. Even better when you're with friends. I'll add you when I next boot up the Xbox.

Just looked at those videos now! Looks really good actually - going to pre order that when I get paid at the end of the month!

Far Cry 3 :-

DRUG FLASHBACKS

This isn't an Easter egg as such, but it is an interesting part of the game that can be easily missed if you don't notice it. After completing missions where you rescue one of your friends and end up back in the cave under Dr Earnhardt's house, you'll find a table to one side with a bowl of red pills and an "EAT ME!" sign - another reference to Alice in Wonderland following the quote during the opening sequence.

Interacting with this when the option is available makes you take a pill and experience flashbacks of events leading up to your capture on the island. Here you can explore a nightclub, buy drinks for your buddies at the bar and even bust some moves on the dance floor - everyone loves doing The Robot, right?

Bioshock Infinite is my next 'must have' game. Delayed until sometime in March now I believe.

Like the look of Aliens: Colonial Marines but I suspect it's more style over substance, though I have no basis for this opinion as I haven't read a single review!!
