I completed Gears of War and COD4, both on casual like, cant be arsed doing em again in hardcore or owt, and have been dabbling with fifa and table tennis in between. Looking for summat new to play now, already got Bioshock & Clancy's Rainbow six Vegas, but fancy a change from shooters? Assasins Creed looks good, reviews dont though, anyone had a bash at this?

Bioshock is superb. Can recommend Mass Effect too. Assasins Creed is weirder than i expected with a stupid sequence at the end of each level where you wake up in the future and go back to bed. it's quite repetitive, not as good as thief on the pc. i've been enjoying PG4 myself, that's fair good

get yourself some points too and get some arcade games. doom, sonic, speedball and sensible soccer all worth a bash

Picked up Bioshock after the Sheff game for £20 preowned in GAME.

Settling down to it now, for some reason i liked the swimming bit and just looking at the water - mesmeric

Probably going to get this tomorrow too for ps2. Played it at my friends house over Christmas and it was quality. Just wondering if it still good to play or has the novelty worn off yet so to speak?

Don't know, not bought it yet

might have a splurge and get it along with Bioshock and COD4 after my exams later this month.

Anyone got 'The Orange Box?'

I've heard good things about it, but I was wondering if anyone here would recommend it?

Its quality isnt it? i am enjoying it more than Gears and COD4 at the moment. its seems a lot harder than them though, even on normal mode, checkpoints seem miles apart, and you have to be more tactically astute in this, i love puting markers on targets with the snakecam and watching my guys take them out! quality game, sequel on its way too!

you're a silly beggar, you never need to pay more than £30 for any game

mass effect and orange box both less than £30 at either game or gamestation in bolton

Batman · Post by **Batman** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 3:39 pm

correct but they only had the Special Edition one at 45.........balls to that

Athers · Post by **Athers** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 8:18 pm

Got COD4 from Play for 35, special edition. They had the normal version priced at 40, go figure.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 8:23 pm
