QUOTE (monkeyman @ Aug 5 2010, 06:32 PM)  I may get it when it reduces in price In other news. The new Batman game will be called Batman: Arkham City and will feature Catwoman   Kinky bondage times for the Caped Crusader! I'm looking forward to this, first game was ace. I've recently picked up RaceDriver:GRID and Tony Hawks: Proving Ground after longing for something to be able to just stick on whilst listening to music and just fanny arseing about. Toy Stpry 2 was actually an amazing platformer, really enjoyable. I wanted to look at Toy Story 3 in GAME the other day but there were adults looking at me   .

Does anyone use lovefilm for game rentals? The smallest games package looks like a good deal ; £5.99 a month for two rentals a month, 1 disc at a time. Blockbusters charge £5.99 per game and you only get the game for a week.

I looked into them a few months ago, there's a company that just does games with varying packages which looked quite good although I can't remember the name. I guess it depends how much opportunity you get to play them and how anal you are about completing them.

I really want one of those hydraulic simulator seats for racing games now. I had a go on one the other day and it's possibly the most awesome thing ever.

I remember seeing someone using one in a video somewhere, and I just thought it looked like it would be really distracting. Does it actually immerse you enough that you don't notice all the noise and the fact that you're in a giant wobbling chair?

It feels realistic enough that you find yourself driving far more cautiously because you feel like a crash might do you actual physical harm. As for the noise, we had the game volume turned up really high anyway, it has a 5.1 surround setup built into it. |

I would like to give one a go, but only if no one was looking.

Really Microsoft? You really think that Halo: Reach is "The most anticipated game of 2010"?
Not Fallout: New Vegas? Or Mass Effect 2? Or Final Fantasy XIII? Or Metroid: Other M? Or World of Warcraft: Cataclysm? Or Starcraft 2 maybe? |

I suppose 3 years ago Halo games were the most anticipated, but not now! |

Actually, as shit as I think the Halo games are, there probably are more people interested in it than any of those other games, sadly. They could put a turd in a box and put the name Halo on it and people would buy it. |

I'm very much looking forward to Halo: Reach, but then I am a massive Halo fanboy and proud of it. They have been going on about it endlessly on Live, but then it does shift the most units.
I'll admit I'm also pretty excited about Fallout: New Vegas though. I just hope I don't lose another 70 hours to it like I did with Fallout 3 and all it's DLC. I'm not sure I can afford that much time with my already faltering social life. |

I would argue that Starcraft 2 is probably the most anticipated game of the year in terms of sheer numbers of people waiting for it, just because of South Korea.
