I saw an advert for this last night - looks pretty damn sweet. My mate's a big Spidey fan, so he's well looking forward to it.

I don't know about that. I don't want to see a load of inferior rip offs of it. Maybe an influx of games that have dared to be original and brought something a bit new. You can't do that by copying someone else's game, obviously.

I just spent 2+ hours playing resident evil 2 as I'm being all nostalgic at the moment, only to get killed while trying to pistol 2 lickers. This would be fine except I had not saved once, curse my complacency.

I rented Ultimate Spiderman today from blockbuster and it is really bad, I finished it in 4 hours because its too short, too easy and it has repetitive races which make you want to squash Spiderman with a rolled up newspaper for thinking 'lets race'. Venom looked like a possible good addition to the game but turned out to be rubbish, just jumping, eating people and throwing cars soon becomes boring--- give this game a miss.

Fuck that, then!

A bit like the comics then. And presumably the third film.

All the best games are.

Bought Spiderman. Played it for a few hours. Finished it. DAMN IT ALL TO HELL.
I really enjoyed it myself. The graphics are astounding and the missions arent all that bad. Probably going to trade it in and get Sonic Gems Collection and DBZ Budoki 3.
Been playing Age of Mythology recently. Classy game.

Sont know whether this has been mentioned, but a Halo character will be appearing in DOA 4. Apparently (my mate told me) it is a female spartan, in full mjolnir armour. Interesting. Internet hype previously had it as being either Cortana or Keyes daughter, although neither of them are really 'fighty'. I guess it'll be quite a wrestler style character. Wonder what she'll look like under the armour? No doubt the DOA 4 makers will let is know, in all her bouncy glory

F.E.A.R. just arrived today... pity I don't have time to play games at the moment.

Battling away through Ocarina Of Time again, lack of money means no new games, not that there are any decent games coming out for the Game Cube at the moment oh well, it'll make King Kong and Twilight Princess all the sweeter.

Good Lord, it's gorgeous. From the makers of Ico - Shadow of the Colossus.

Now that I've finally figured out how to get Tom Brady to throw a pass, I've been spending way too much time with NFL 2K5.

If it helps teach you the ways of one of the pillars of American guy-ness, does it qualify as edutainment?

Picked up an interesting little game yesterday - Pilot Down

You play the pilot of a USAAF B-24 Liberator that has been shot down over enemy territory in a 3rd person RPG. Will have to give it a thorough testing later, but it's not bad what I've done so far.

(Now THERE's a job I'd like - testing games!! )

I'm sure you'd just love playing the same part of a game over and over again, trying to reproduce a once per 3 hour bug that appears to have no obvious cause...

I was just thinking about that today strangly enough.(I was playing Rainbow Six 3 at the time)

Do you have to completly re-write a game to fix a bug? If so , I can see how that would be really dull.

It's all part of the process! I'd do it if the job was there.

Erm, yes, we have to scrap the entire code base and start from scratch every time a tester reports something like "text incorrectly aligned in frontend menu".

I've been playing Nintendogs tonight, it's very cute. My dog was shit at catching frisbees though.

Quake IV. It's like doom3. but slightly less dark. And you can have your flashlight active when you hold certain guns.

Quake IV suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

Play FEAR!

Currently playing Pilot Down for the PS2 - hard as shit!!

I'm only onto the third level, which is hard as buggery because you have to continually sneak past German soldiers, have a limited amount of ammunition at a time, can only carry so much, and generally get the shit blown out of you in no seconds flat if you're not careful.

Mind you, if it was easy, it wouldn't be a challenge!

Sounds better than any job I've ever had.

Should be getting DBZ 4 soon. Should be a good laugh. Also gettnign Sonic Gems collection. Get to play Sonic R again!

Just found out the new Tony Hawk game is out next Friday!!!! My thumbs are aching with anticipation. Hopefully the new bmx bits will work nicely, never really liked Matt Hoffman's BMX.

Ah, that was a good bug. Sorry for any inconvenience caused but we felt that the entire game simply would not be right if that text was off by even the smallest amount. You've got to stand up for your principles after all.



It's quite fun, but, as Nonus pointed out, it's immensely repetitive, and it does get somewhat annoying from time to time. Still, it ain't a bad job.

Medal of Honor: European Assault.

Loved the first two, and the fighting in this is great, but it seems a little samey and according to the back of the box, I'm 3/4 of the way through already! I hope that there are more missions than I think, because it'll suck if there aren't.

Have done for a couple of hours. Can't say I'm too impressed yet.

Bloody 'ell

Bought Dragonball z budokai tenkaichi today....hence me still being up!It has been a true night of super saiyans and marijuana!

The game is blatantly the best dbz one to date. There are still a few little things you would like tweaked, but there are so many good things about it you soon forget! Allthough the story mode wont mean anything to people who dont know the story already as there are big chunks of it missing.All in all, well worth the money and very enjoyable, i shall be playing it for sometime!I just need to get my mates over to whoop them on it now......!

Been playing it a bit more... The AI is excellent, that has to be said. I also had a few hours playing Quake 4, which surprised me. It's actually quite good. It's certainly a hell of a lot better than Doom 3.

lets face it, that isn't hard

Doom 3 did what it set out to do very well. It just didn't set out to do very much, unfortunately. What was in the game was extremely well executed, and the whole game was very polished. Quake 4 has more or less the same quality to it, but it has more varied sections like when you get to drive around in a hover tank or a big mech thing in outdoor sections, and you spend a lot of the game fighting as part of a squad, with a medic, tech guy, (who will heal you, repair your armour or modify your existing weapons) etc.

I picked up Madden 06 today, despite being an NFL newbie, and I'm having a great time. It's complicated though, but fun none the less.

I should be doing the same thing tommorrow night. Happy to hear that its good. Going to get majorly stoned and themn play it with my bro.

Played 8 player LAN Halo 2 on Saturday night/ Sunday morning. Sweet as fuck. Kicked much ass. Eveyone was stoned out of their minds. Ahhh, thats the good stuff

The game is that bad, that you need mind-altering substances to enjoy it?



I'm going to stop by the local game store on the way back from running some errands and pick up Madden 2004, I think. For what I'm looking for, £1.69 Madden is far more reasonable than £28.25 Madden.

just got ultimate spiderman on the box. It takes some getting used to wedslinging seams alot harder then before. Also im glad to see a spiderman game which rhino where you dont have to wait untill he runs into a wall before u can hit him.

Take it back while you can, it's too short...

I didn't like it, it bored me.

No, weed simply enhances my enjoyment of anything.
I hate American Football, but I'm not going to make a snide comment. Each to their own. No need to be elitist.

I've been playing Max Payne recently. It's been ages since I shot up New York, and it's just as much fun as I remember.

I'm scouting around for the first Silent Hill next. Got a bit of a Jones for older titles at the moment.

Just got a Snes emulator off the net and am playing through Chrono Trigger again. I love that game.

Did the same thing meself. I cursed my friend for giving me that emu because all the time it took from me, haha. Chrono Trigger, Shadowrun, Secret of Mana, etch

And some of us still have them in cartridge form.

Think i may still have that game (PS2) in a pile of old games that I'm planning to take to a computer shop to see how much I'll get for them ... unless you want to make me an offer Jinx?

Just PM'd you.

I am currently playing final fantasy 7, can i just ask people what removes pyramids as i was fighting someone and he pyramided my arse. The toss pot.

Fighting Rufus near the begining of the game? You have to attack the pyramid, just be carefull that you highlight the pyramid and not your character.

Got my copy of DBZ:Budokai Tenkachi (or something like that). Finding it insanely hard. SSJ Stoner- any tips?

Anyone else played The Warriors yet? Kicks so much ass by my standard. Finally a true 3d sucessor to Streets of Rage.

Massively dissapointed by Sonic Gems Collection. The rose tinted glasses were well and truely smashed when I played Sonic R. Shame.

Cheers, shall try that in a bit me thinks

Damn you, i finished the game this morning

Can't say I didn't warn you.

Well ive still got to find all the tokens and do all the races, but i really cant be arsed
