Re: what game are you playing
 

BTW A warning to all. Last week I received Shellshock 2: Blood Trails on rental from Lovefilm. Avoid this PoS at all costs. It's like stepping back 5 years in gaming and it's truly an awful game. I'd give it 3/10 and that would be generous.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Ive got a few good games with 1000G or more on them :p: i bought NBA to get my 20000th gamerscore

Also, i only have 400G from GH World Tour :(

Re: what game are you playing
 

Can I ask opinions on the Sega Mega Drive collection and the graphics (if altered at all) as two of you have mentioned it? Thinking of getting it :).

Re: what game are you playing
 

lol, the graphics are like they were on megadrive, its quite a entertaining game though :).

Re: what game are you playing
 

The graphics are alot more crisp and clean than on the Mega drive as they are presented in HD (720P). Theres some excellent classics on the disc including the 3 streets of rage games and 4-5 sonic games. Think sonic 1,2,3, 3D and pinball oh and sonic and knuckles so I guess 5 then.

Would certainly recommend it if you liked the old mega drive games. Brings back some great memorys for me and well worth the £20-£25 you can pick it up for.

Some others I remember are on the disc is 2 echo the dolphin games, an alex the kidd, Alien storm, robocop VS terminator, golden axe 1,2,3 and many many more :)

you can see the full list Here

What's Peggle?

Re: what game are you playing
 

A new XBLA game, I think. I saw it on the dashboard earlier.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yep, been around for a while though. Was a popcap game on PC if I remember rightly and its been around before that to am sure. Good fun at times :)

Currently playing Resident Evil 5 myself. After getting used to the controls am really enjoying it :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Played a bit of Fable 2, what a boring game!

So then played some Fifa Street 3 and got a couple hundred more gamerscore from it. I dont like foot ball either :p:

Re: what game are you playing
 

Some thing addictive IIRC

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is playing itself at the moment, need more XP to get my elite rank and achievement

Re: what game are you playing
 

Young people these days!!! you are supposed to play games cause you enjoy them and want to get better not just cause it gets you easy gamerscore and can leave it to play itelf so you can rank up.

People like you disgust me!!!:mad::mad:

Playing Motorstorm 2, Fallout 3 and Sega Megadrive collection on PS3 and Fable 3 and Gears 2 on 360.

Rock Band - Loving it, though the drums and guitar need more practice lol

Re: what game are you playing
 

Erm of what:confused:

I am twice your age and been playing games since I was about 4 back on the Toshiba MSX but you probably don't know what that was.

I can play games and am good at them, I don't need to play just to get gamerscore. Mine is at 16,520.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Am totally absorbed in Resi 5 at the moment, a truly superb game that has surprisingly lived up to all the hype.

you young whippersnapper's don't know how lucky you are nowadays, my first console back in the day was "steam powered", and we were grateful only to be spanked four times daily.
Ahh those were the days...rickets, high child mortality, war, disease, pestilence and famine...but we were appy.:D:

Re: what game are you playing
 

16,520 out of over 80,000

Mines 20,855 out of 43,000

Re: what game are you playing
 

Agreed m8, I was hooked on it. After all the crap I seen getting thrown at it for its no run and fire I think it's my fav game this year. Always been a big resident evil fan and I think this one is brilliant to. Explains alot about the story of the whole RE series which I liked to. I'll say it again brilliant game :)

Just got my BF:Heroes beta key so will probably give that a try now.

---------- Post added at 17:08 ---------- Previous post was at 17:04 ----------

Lol Callumpy no offence intended here but I just dont get the point of all this "I've got more gamescore/trophies than you" I always have and always will play games for the fun of it and because I enjoy either the story or the online.

I never play looking to get gamescore. I just unlock what comes naturally as I go along. Tbh at the end of the days whats all them extra wasted hours trying to get massive gamescore going to get you ? Half the time its just making you do borning things that you wouldn't normally be arsed with.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yes, sometimes i do annoying things to get some achievements, but sometimes it does actually make you play more into the game, at the moment ive been trying to get 1000 from Rainbow Six 2 and there is an achievement for 1000 kills, if that wasnt there i probably wouldnt play it as much.

And then there are some that i just cant be arsed to do like Seriously 2.0 on Gears of War 2. Kill 100,000 enemies, thats the only Gears 2 achievement i have left to get but im not going to sit there playing the brumak mission over and over like some people do.

Re: what game are you playing
 

That kind of proves my point. I play games as I enjoy them, not to collect every achievement. You are clearly playing certain games that have easy gamerscore and ones that let you cheat to get them, i.e. leaving the game to play by itself.

Yes it does make games more fun by having more reasons to play them, but I will not sit and try to claim every achievement.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Just downloaded Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger, got 93% on the drums, but that was on easy :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I remember being addicted to that game a while back. As its curveball that what you have to try and do really (Well I did anyway) as the ball comes back to you and is about to hit your racket thing then move the racket thing lol to the left or right or any direction fast so the ball gets a curve on it as it hits your racket thing. This makes it spin in all crazy directions making it much harder for the CPU player to judge (but not really as its a program lol) Plus you get more points for curving the ball I think.

I do hope that makes sense. It did in my head Honest !

Been playing this myself - specifically the PC version. First game I've bothered playing in absolutely months and months.

It can be bought on Popcap's website for a few quid, but if you use the coupon 'Blitz1' then you can get it for about £1.50 :cool:

Very addictive game.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Suck's yes, Surprised ? Not at all after all this is valve lol. Takes them as long to create 1 episode on an engine they've been using for years as it does for other developers to create a full game on a new engine.

I am playing Wanted Weapons of Fate on the pc and enjoying it . Ita a sequal and a prequal to the movie Wanted :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Was thinking of picking this up myself. Played the demo and thought it was good. Decided to get Godfarther 2 first which am playing now but will probably get Wanted after I've finished that.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Resident Evil 5, pretty cool :p:

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yeah, I'm playing RE5 too. I'm stuck on 2-2 where you get attacked by the giant skorpian.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Like all these monsters they are hard to kill, then when you know their weak points they are dog-meat.
After the FMV of the "flying bat" escaping the lorry, run to your left to the two wooden barrels, inside are two landmines grab these and grab two more in the hut on the floor, when you come out of the hut the bat-thing will have landed and will be walking towards you and Sheva.
Get just ahead of him and then lay a mine in the center of the path, he'll walk over it causing it to explode and throwing him onto his side...nows your time to shine Luke:) fire continually into his reddish underbelly.
Depending how far you have ranked your handgun or shotgun up will decide how many times you must repeat this process, even with weak guns your not looking at more than four times, more likely three times.
Good luck.:)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Oh Yes Battlefield 2142, Test Drive and the awesome Gears of War

Re: what game are you playing
 

Finished it enjoyed it worth a go but a bit short .

Waiting on Riddick Dark Athena :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Oh yes :D

It looks awesome. I loved the original on the old Xbox, & this should be even better - tarted up Butcher Bay + new Dark Athena story + multiplayer.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yeah I really enjoyed Butcher Bay :) As you say lets hope this is better :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I played the demo for Dark Athena yesterday and I dont know what it was but the screen just seemed a bit washed when I was playing it. Dont know if that makes sense. Was also really looking forward to it but something just didnt look right at all.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Played the demo my self and thought it looked great. Maybe your brightness and contrast are off, as that can sometimes make things look washed out.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I downloaded the demo yesterday, haven't played it yet.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I just put loads of mines on the floor and when they blew up, run up to it and shoot its belly.

Now ive completed it i just take out my rocket launcher with infinate ammo and blast it. :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I was playing Smakdown vs Raw 2009 customly creating the new TNA superstar "Suicide" looks verry official aswell

Re: what game are you playing
 

I guess thats possible. Will give it a look but all my other games seem fine. Maybe its just the textures or something I dont like. I will give it another go because I was really looking forward to it to.

Currently playing the "Escape from Butcher Bay" remake first.


Riddick rocks.

Re: what game are you playing
 

same here.... Butcher Bay first,then dark Athena.Totally forgot how hard thwe game is at times.Also like the strategy choices,you can either blast your way through or be stealthy,very cool. :):sniper:

Re: what game are you playing
 

I grabbed (along with a friend) Killing Floor - it would appear to be a bit buggy! Shame, cos it looks to be a good, late night, CooP laugh. Has anyone managed to get a friends game, via Steam, running, tell me how.

I just bought Defence Grid - I like Tower Defence games (desktop has been updated btw) and the Gfx are quite nice.

Got a new Gfx card so I may go back n play Warhead again.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Killzone 2

I didn't like this at first, but once I sorted out the controls to suit me and played it a bit. I'm really into it now. It's just a shame it's not co-op, it'd be awesome if it was!

Re: what game are you playing
 

What do you think of the Survival mode? I think they messed it up. There is no tactic that works, you need to keep a tight group and fire in four directions, then a Tank appears and you have to scatter. Only found the Airport level remotely playable, you have one direction to defend, even then, once Molotovs run out the Tank becomes a bind.

Shame they didn't do it more like the Nazi thing at the end of World at War, allow you to make defences.

It deffo needs the option to turn specials off or at least the Tank off.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I haven't downloaded it yet but at least it doesn't cost anything. The Nazi zombies mode in COD5 is brilliant though yeah especially with the new map in the dlc pack.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Been playing Half-Life 2 single player with a friend through a co-op mod as he never really got round to finishing it and was having problems so am there to guide him through lol :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

How playable is it? How does the car/boat work, can you both get into them?

Re: what game are you playing
 

I've just got to the "Entanglement" stage in Half-Life 2.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Just gone back to Burnout Paradise and COD4 on the 360

Re: what game are you playing
 

Works a treat. Its had certain edits so you can play it with others like certain doors will stay open etc etc. Just done the jetski part and it auto spawns two jetski's each time so you both have one. It seems very well done tbh.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Lego Indy on the X-box

Re: what game are you playing
 

I'm having trouble sticking to playing any game for longer than about 10mins these days...

Re: what game are you playing
 

Can I ask what you are using, I installed the Synergy thing in Steam (that seems to have Coop) be damned if I can get any friends into the game. I am in HL2.

How did you get it to work?

Re: what game are you playing
 

I played with a couple but am using the one you said which is Synergy. The problem is it does not give you the server address right so heres what to do.

1. Write down your IP address.
2. Create a server and remember which port you have said to use.
3. Once server is up tell your friend to type into the console "connect" followed by your ip and the port you choose so for example it would look like this - Connect 11.22.33.44:27015
4. Enjoy playing together :)

Also your server should show in the list eventually so you could get your friend to look that way but I found it was a bit hit and miss. if you do do it this way make sure they unclick the box that says "show maps" or something like that as if its ticked it does not show any servers for some reason.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Can't get it to work, no idea why. Did the connect IP:Port in both directions, opened the port on both routers, just wont connect nor can either of us see it in the server list.

Funny thing is a complete stranger connected to my game. It all seems pretty straightforward, no idea what is going wrong.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Were are you getting your IP from ? you sure its defo the right IP. We were using the wrong IP for a while because we were using the one that the game said but that was wrong its your own IP address that you need.

Hope you can get it working because its great fun playing it co-op.

Re: what game are you playing
 

IP Config.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Strange. Thats how we got it working. Also your server must be showing in the browser list for someone to have connected to it. I found that sometimes mine showed up in the list and others it didnt. You wont see your own though but your friend should be able to. Sorry couldnt be more help.

There is a decent one for Garry's mod if you wana try it that way.
