I cannot for the love of god stop playing football manager 2005, so I guess I'll have to go without Gods love for the next few months. I have exams to read for and stuff, this is not good.

Tekken 2 has been doing the round on my PSX.
Haven't bothered to unpack any of my other consoles since moving house, although my house mate got one of those new small PS2's a couple of days ago.

Tekken 4 was quite good, but Lei is a caddy character to use. Just learn how to do Kings grab combos and you can kill your opponent pretty much straight away.

I like my moves to look pretty though. Lots of punch and kick combinations. Law is the character for me.

I bagged a copy of 'Clock Tower 3' for about a tenner yesterday. Anyone played any of this series? Always thought it looked quite good, and for a tenner didn't see why I shouldn't give it a whirl.
Also (for you Nintendo owners)does anyone here register the Star point things you get with Nintendo games, as I've been doing this on the Nintendo web site and have myself a large stash of points(about enough to cash them in for a game) but the catalogue is never updated with new goodies, wondered if anyone else noticed this.

But Kings grabs look good if you get the 10 or 12 hit ones to work. Just watching him snap arms, legs and backs is fun.

I got a copy of Vampire:The MAsquerade-Bloodlines from Game's sale for a tenner, I haven't tried it though, as I've been pretty busy with Sid Meiers Pirates and Half Life 2.
Anyone who played and enjoyed the old Pirates should get the new one.

Now that I have completed both Lord of the Rings titles and Star Wars battlefront I am finding it hard to find meaning in my PS2 life...
I got GTA San Andreas for xmas from a mate. Not that impressed. Once you get past all the 'yo mutha fucking homies' shit it gets a bit repetitive. It does have an excellent soundtrack. You put it on Radio X and it's Elastica and GnR and Stone Roses and stuff from the 90s.

I haven't played Bloodlines yet, but from what I've heard it's absolutely riddled with bugs, feeling like an incomplete product.

I liked The Third Age myself, if you've played either Final Fantasy X or Final Fantasy X-2 it's practically the same game engine.
Gnashville, one thing to remember is that the Fellowship of the Ring game and War of the Ring done by Sierra are licences of the book.
The Two Towers, Return of the King, LOTR:The Third Age and Battle for Middle Earth are all film licences.

I did play War of the Ring, and that was utter crap, it's like a substandard Warcraft 3 mod.
Battle for Middle Earth looks decent though.
I've played and completed Two Towers and liked it, except the bloody Uruk Berserkers.
What I'd like to know about The Third Age is, if it there are two or three different endings available.

I agree with you my kind sir.
I made it to the final encounter....until I found that there are two endings, and my chance to see the "real" ending was missed about 5 hours behind.
The prince's smoldering generic rage just doesn't cut it for me.
The Dahaka scenes were just rubbish, trial and error. And those 10 foot giants? Yeah, they get boring too after fighting them about 10-20 times because of the constant backtracking you do. I avoided fights altogether in that game, but I really love the puzzles and constant trap avoiding.

Easy that - Dawn of War.
It's actually a fantastic game, but the GameSpy (middleware) lobby system is the biggest pile of poo in existnance. You typically need to spend around 10-20 minutes to SETUP a a game with some friends....and that's assuming once you have launched that nobody will drop from the game...
