Got Zone of the Enders today. Saw it in the shop and had a slight feeling it was one of those niche/slightly valuable games so picked it up thinking it was a bit of a bargain. Alas, it isn't. Still meant to be good though, so it's alright anyway.

Wash your mouth out. (Or fingers I suppose)
It's oozing style and atmosphere isn't it

Yep
I've heard a couple of the music tracks before, but the ones that are new to me are great.Haven't played it since the other day, should probably get back to it sometime.
I get terrible feelings of guilt when I use t'internet to help me through part of a game I'm stuck on.
Although without it, I would never have got to the end of quite a lot of games.......

The other day when I was playing Shadowrun I was a bit stuck, and it's only because the internet wasn't working at the time that I couldn't look up any info. Glad I couldn't though, figuring it out by myself is much better.
Sometime I can't help it, but I do feel like I'm not playing properly though if I do
I agree, beating a game without looking things up is much more satisfying. But sometimes you just have to...The other day when I was playing Shadowrun I was a bit stuck, and it's only because the internet wasn't working at the time that I couldn't look up any info.

I spent ages on one 'riddler trophy' on Arkham city. The solution was a real cop-out, though.....
I think I had to look up some of those online when I was playing Arkham Asylum, there was no way I was going to figure out some of them by myself. I haven't played Arkham City yet, I'll see if I can find all the trophies on that one without looking them up at all. Don't think I'll succeed though

I found that if there are some you can't get, just be patient. As you unlock more gadgets in the get, you can get the trophies.
It's a great game, I've just bought 'Origins' but haven't started it yet.
I'll try my best!
I'm a bit behind as you've probably guessed, so I'll likely get round to getting/playing Origins in about 2017.
I'm similar...rarely play 'brand new' games.
I'm just about to start Uncharted 2 for example.....
Yeah me too. Especially when the majority of them can be bought preowned on Amazon for £2 a couple of years later.
I haven't played Uncharted 2 yet, it's been sitting on the shelf for a few years now. Good job Weaste isn't here anymore, he'd already be on the way to my house after saying that.
I never had Weaste down as a gamer....
Anyway, I've got Uncharted 2 lined up, then I've got either Bioshock Infinite or (long overdue) Metal Gear Solid 4 to have a bash at.

Infinite is so-so, a great story though.
You don't so much play Mgs4 as you do watch it.
Nah he isn't. Well, maybe he is a little bit... it's a bit complicated TBH.
I haven't played any of those three games. Don't think MGS4 would be my cup of tea really. I think my next one will be LA Noire.
You can get Minecraft for the PS3 and Vita for free from European and Australian PS Stores -
FFS downloads on the PS3 are so slow.
Too violent?
Not violent enough. I want Manhunt 3.
WAS THAT A CIGARETTE?!
I remember when I used to buy gaming magazines as a kid for hints on games. The one I remember the most was with all of the maps for the dungeons in Zelda a link to the past. I was about 5 or 6 when I had it so it was incredibly hard for me without it.The other day when I was playing Shadowrun I was a bit stuck, and it's only because the internet wasn't working at the time that I couldn't look up any info.

I kind of miss the days when you couldn't just look stuff up on the internet though. When you actually got past what you were stuck on it was so satisfying. I try my best not to on games now, but sometimes I don't have the willpower or the patience not to.
The last game I did it for was The Swapper. I needed help with one of the puzzles and tried for about 2 hours over and over, but I couldn't figure it out. It was the only puzzle I looked up help for, but when I finished the game I didn't feel the same sense of achievement because of it.
Bang on.
I feel the same about these 'perk' systems every fecking game seems to use these days. Some are genuinely cool additions, but they mostly are like cheat codes and aren't balanced right.
Some...
...screenshots. Just started.
Haven't played first one, but this one feels fine.
Yes! But maybe for a second playthrough...
What's a ratling without a gun? What's a ratling?

New Rainbow Six confirmed as "no respawn"
Veeeeeeeery happy.
Veeeeeeeery happy.
Looking forward to it. My favourite modes from last gen were SnD on Cod 4 and execution on Gears of War.
Just finished Bioshock Infinite. Really enjoyed it and was expecting much worse since I've seen a lot of people slam it. The atmosphere and story is top notch, gameplay is nothing special I suppose, but I found myself happy enough with it.
Guess I'll play the DLC and then move onto finally trying to finish Arkham City, Dark Souls and Divinity: Original Sin.
I've only ever seen redlambs slam it. It's widely regarded as a top quality game by most
The DLC is fantastic.
It's the gameplay that's exactly the problem, and it's pretty bad under the hood. Cracking story though.
Yeah right
And I'm right to 'slam' what I have about it. In fact Randall, I think you'll find that 'most' agree with me that it has stale, dull gameplay but one of the best stories ever in a game.
So if you want to talk about the game and my 'slamming' of it, let's do it

Yeah, gameplay is generic as feck but it's still brilliant thanks to it's story.
Well for me the story couldn't save the game, the incredibly reptitive gameplay with endless streams of cookie cutter enemies was just too much. The game world lacked depth and continuity, it felt like a series of battle arenas, as opposed to Rapture which felt like such a believable place. There was also no justification for the vigors, they were just in the game because Bioshock had plasmids. It was a huge step back from the original Bioshock.
I enjoyed it for that too, didn't stop playing it till I cleared it, which is unusual for me. That video after of the woman who does Elizabeth's voice singing the entire song is just
.The dlc was shit though, such a terrible idea to use that boring gameplay (still not fixed either) to try to bring back rapture. They fecked that one right up
Very much agreed. Plus it was full of technical errors and every was stripped right back.
That's why most of the team was fecked off after, though it wasn't their fault (bloated production team and funding), but the game didn't turn out how they wanted so they just stripped the broken bits out (like Elizabeth's a.i for one thing) and put it out. Similar (though obviously not as bad) to Duke Nukem.
Hey but don't tell Randall though, apparantly big bad 'ol Redlambs is the only one who doesn't like simplistic dull gameplay.
Very much agree with the battle arenas critique.
But other than the story it's It's certainly one of the best looking games I've ever seen. I really like the art style.

No disputes on the art style. The world itself is dull and flat though from an interaction perspective.
Yeah it definitely feels a bit empty as if the world is a theater backdrop, but it looks amazing and I'm a sucker for a looker in terms of art style.
My Japanese copy of Kirby's Dream Course arrived yesterday and I've been playing it quite a bit tonight. It's fun as hell. Some parts are a bit frustrating the first few times, but it's so satisfying when you do it

It's a great game
Wings! Remastered came out. New version of Amiga classic by Cinemaware (of TV Sports, Defender of the Crown, It Came from the Desert, etc. fame). Looks good.

Awesome! I've still got the Amiga version, loved it

I always wanted to play that game - remember reading reviews of that game (pretty sure it was in C+VG or ACE!)
On a similar old school note, I installed OpenEmu on my Mac last night and revisited some of the Megadrive games I used to play - Ghouls N Ghosts, original Madden, NHL 94, Desert Strike, Populous...
Really good fun - Ghouls N Ghosts is as hard as ever!
