Computer Games, What's been waggling your joysticks Options

[Omniscia]

Also Katamari.

Also Ico.

And now, for the Xbox, you've got, what, Halo? Fable? KOTOR? (These are all available on the PC, too, but that's not a console, so I won't count it.) Jade Empire? Deus Ex: Invisible War (bleh!)? Doom 3?

Kung Fu Chaos?

Fable was the biggest dissapointment. I flew through the storyline. Too easy, rubbish story, too short. There were some nice touches but it just felt rushed. You only fight in the arena once, why? Soem missions are impossible to select, why? I took it back after finishing it twice in a week.

I thought Fable was pretty cool, but I do agree about the impossible quests. They put them on at the very beginning when your renown is low so you can't take them. Then when your renown is higher they've disappeared! It's quite annoying, I really want to have a go at them!

Can anyone recommend any other RPGs for Xbox? I seen this one called Kameo that looks cool, but I want more than one!!

Currently smashing my way through Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Great fun and all about breaking things. Almost everything can be destroyed, from puny humans to massive buildings. Fun, fun, fun. Especially catching missiles and lobbing them back, and jumping onto helicopters and hitting them til they break. Hulk smash indeed.

Also played Hulk through recently. Great fun for a while, bit easy though. Ultimate Spiderman looks like it will kick its ass.
As for X-Box rpgs, you've got a very limited choice. My personal faves are the Knights of the Old Republic games. Played the second one through 3 times (40+ hours a pop). Jade Empire is also pretty cool, but is a very light with the rpg elements.

I bought Fahrenheit for PS2 the other day. It's the first game I've bought in ages and I would recommend it highly. The only drawback is the fairly speedy time I completed it in.
It's pretty cool, a bit like a cross between a film and a game (although if it were a regular film it would have the worst final act of any film you've ever seen, but as a game it kinda gets away with it)

The Project Gothan Racing games, Forza Motorsport.

For RPG's have a look at Sudeki, Jade Empire is also pretty good.

I've got the PC version of that. It's pretty good isn't it? When you describe the game mechanics behind it to someone, it sounds like it's going to be shit, even to yourself, but it actually works.

There's some of my code in that

Indeed. The action sequence control system is essentially that 70's children's electronic toy called SIMON. And the endurance control system is essentially 80's computer game Track and Field. It just works really nicely in this game though. I think the plot of the game has something to do with it. I was drawn to play it continually until I finished it because I was desperate to find out what happened next.

The biggest problem was they made all these brilliant action animation sequences, yet you're too busy watching the lights flashing to appreciate any of it.

Hopefully there will be an influx of games similar to Fahrenheit as it does kick ass.
Got my ass handed to me last night on Street Fighter 3. Lack of practice killed my skill. Just lusting after Soul Calibur 3 now... mmmm

[Sir_Robin_the_br...]

I'm currently rampaging through San Andreas, totally brilliant game don't know why I didn't start it sooner. I just wish they'd hurry up and release Resident Evil 4 on the PS2 so I can play that too.

Cool, thanks! I think there's a Jade Empire demo type thing on Fable somewhere ... *runs off and checks*
