The Gamers Corner

[ExiledWays]

I know that a bunch of us here are gaming enthusiasts and I thought we should have our own thread were we can write about what we're currently playing and if it's any good or not.

I'm currently playing an old-ish game (2002) called ARX FATALIS. It's an innovative and compelling roleplaying game set in a dark and brutal fantasy world. If you don't mind dated graphics I can really recommend this one! You can get it on Steam for next to nothing.

So, what are you playing at the moment?

 

[Jesse]

Well I'm not as much of a gamer as I used to be, but I just can't wait for starcraft 2 to come out. When it does I'm sure I'll be playing it non stop. I was considering going out and finding a nintendo 64 and playing some goldeneye 007.

 

[Spare]

I still have my original NES game system and a few games. They all still work just fine. I think I may even have the box it came in, somewhere.

Shows how far behind I am on the gaming front.

Nice, I love that game! The next one is going to be an mmo though which makes me sad.

 

[ExiledWays]

The KotOR games are great, you have good taste in games evanescencefan91!

 

[Van Hooligan X]

playing gow2 right now...trying to become one of the bets in the UK again at king of the hill

plus so i'm ready for war machine coming out

 

[evanescencefan91]

lol thanks you guys have great taste in games well


ya i'm not really into mmos

although have you checked out the trailer for the new stars game

it's a sick ass sweet trailer i have to admit

just i'd like to just pay for a game once and not once every month

also i know i'd get way to addicted to those games i played a trail version of runescape when i was younger and that was fun,

but i could easily get sucked into

sometimes i'll get so into a game the only way to break the habit is to get to the end of the game

but mmos don't really have endings

ooh van playing god of war
sweet i love that series i can't wait for the 3rd

it should be majorly epic

 

[PieBeNice]

Kotor games are the best rgps ever ever ever ever and anyone who thinks different is wrong.

Whats that Arx Fatalis like you were on about?

 

[ExiledWays]

I like MMO's alot but they are seriously dangerous, like you said, way too addictive. Although it's nice that you can get to know like-minded people in them and make it into a more social experience.

But nothing beats a good old singleplayer game that you can just sit down with for a while and relaxe, without having to spend countless of hours into it to make it feel fun and rewarding.

I got Prototype for PS3 so I'm gonna check that out later..

 

[ExiledWays]

Prototype is pretty cool. I just hope you don't mind extreme violence, it's probably the most violent game I've played, and I've played most of them.

 

[Naval_Fluff]

lol I play the old games....pokemon blue....gold...zelda...old stuff. the Kewl RPG. I LURVE pokemon....oh yeah, and Final fantasy. I'm an old-school gamer.

So, what are you playing at the moment?

Trying to work my way through "Dead Space" on the pc. I'm also playing "Force Unleashed" on my ancient PS2.


I wait until games drop in price before I pick them up. That's why I always seem to be playing stuff everyone else was playing a year ago.

 

[ExiledWays]

"Dead Space" is awesome. For some reason I never finished, I need to get it again. I loved the dark and gritty sci-fi atmosphere.

Right now I'm playing "Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis" and "The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition". Ahh, good old point & click adventure games are still the best kind of games in my opinion.

 

[Naval_Fluff]

lol I'm working my way through 4 games at once...Tuff work.
Dead space looked kinda repetitive...but using different weapons to dissect aliens sounds supa fun.

 

[evanescencefan91]

aww man i loved the pokemon games
those were awesome i i was soo hooked on those
my first rpg ever

oh sorry van my bad
gears of war /god of war
sorry same intials both games

both have war in the title
i haven't check out gears of war yet, i've heard it's pretty cool,
is it a first person shooter?

 

[Van Hooligan X]

over the shoulder shooter is apprently it's offical name lol

GOW1 was very well done and brillaint for that time, i honestly believe gow2 is better though, people only seem to dislike it because they're honeysuckle at it

i'd say they're both worth renting though
