I just noticed there's "Oblivion" here...seems to be #4 of somethng though...looks good, but do I have to have played these other elder scrolls games to get into this, or is the story standalone?

Wave Race.

@Geddy
I like Double Agent probably the best out of the rest of the series.

@Phalanx
The Elder Scrolls games are great. The early ones like Arena and Daggerfall are DOS games, so the graphics are kinda bad and you need a computer that will support them. Morrowind is the 3rd and has two expansion packs (Tribunal, Bloodmoon) and is one of the best in the series. Oblivion is basically Morrowind with better graphics, voice work, schedules for all NPC's and a new story. To understand what's going on, you don't need the other games in the series. I mean heck, I'm still looking for a copy of the first one.

Awesome,I might rent it this weekend if the store has it.

anyone ever play painkeep arena for quake 3?

Great mod, deathmatch, but it brings some cool shit to the table, like remote sentries and a singularity, think of it as a temporary black hole. cool shit


if anyone is interested, i will track down the download url

Picked Prey up from the video store today.Got to play it a minute or two then it kept freezing. I'm gonna take it back later and hopefully they'll exchange it for me.Casue what I did get to play of it I really enjoyed.

Check onlin eto see if there are any known issues with the game freezing before you return it, because most likely getting a fresh copy of the game will not change anything.

Make sure your drivers are up to date, and make sure that the game has the most recent patches before you try playing. Last and certainly not least, make sure you dont have the settings cranked too high. Lock-up is one of the number 1 problems when a game is trying to run beyond the capabilities of your computer. The memory fills up, then it grinds to a halt, like a fused engine block.

Just some suggestions from your friendly neighborhood Vodstok.

Sounds like he picked it up for the 360... most video stores don't rent or carry PC games anymore.

Anywhoo...


Rainbow Six Vegas kicks copious amounts of buttock.

Duh, i missed that completely....

Wouldnt make much sense to rent out sometyhing that could be copied to a hard drive and burned...

A little mom and pop store near me did that years ago... I got a lot of $2.00 games.

Condemned. Really cool game.

Juggling three at the moment.

Gears of War

Rainbow Six Vegas

F.E.A.R.

I just picked up Ninja Gaiden about an hour ago.

Warhammer 40K Dawn of War. Very, very good adaptation, which is extremely high praise coming from a long time 40K tabletop fan. However, no Tyranids and no Dark Eldar make me sad.

Beat Vegas on singleplayer, playing Terrorist Hunt now... I need a new patch cable.

dayum how long have you had it?

Still paying Battlefield two. im a gunnery sergeant now:)

Since Christmas.

That's one hard-ass game is it not? I got about half way through it and put it down because it took me so long. lol

I'm stuck at it already.I'm fighting that samurai guy on the horse.I almost beat it.good game though.

Not that I'm playing it, but I just got through a demo of doom3.
I've never played as much as I did...my personal pc don't run it quite right...but all the same, when I played through this I can't help but think that people would've been split down the middle about this one.
It's become a little more complex than the old dooms, but in doing so, seems to have shed any kind of semblance to the look, feel, and gameplay of old. I'm not complaining myself, but to me it didn't really feel like a "doom" game at all, just another scare/gorefest to live up to a lot of other current titles.
I have to admit, I was at the point where I was just saying to this game "for fucks sake, stop messing with me, bitch!" every corner that something can hide in, it does...
Seems a decent game, but I think quake 4 is higher on my "must play" list. I suppose when I get my new pc I'll be able to play just about anything, that'll be sweet for a while at least.

Also, did anyone play tomb raider - angel of darkness? What's it like?

It's pretty good. There's alot of different things you can do and it appears to be kinda long. Entertaining way to take up some free time imo. There's extreme violence, language and drug related situations, so if that's a turn off for ya I suggest you don't give this one a second thought.

Lost Planet would probably be a better choice then.

played a bit of my son's Wallace and Gromit - Curse of the Wererabbit game last night (x-box)

its fun - but i suck at games - no patience.

Fatal Frame, but I am on a "break". I've been trying to get the same bitch of a Ghost for a while now. I need to let my frustration settle.

lol where do i start?

erm well im playing lots of games at the moment

silent hill 1 :) (well re playing it)
pirates of the carribean
the hobbit
summoner
cue club
myst
and more. im playing so many different games at once i forget where im up to in half of them:confused: :)

Still working my way through FEAR. Just picked up the Rail Gun. It's uber madness :D

Ah, ^there's^ one I've gotta wait for the upgrades...it'll run on my current machine, but not well enough IMO. When it comes to games, especially FPS , I'm fairly particular about everything running perfectly smoothly...otherwise it just takes so much out of it for me.

I'm going home tommorow, found a copy of 'tomb raider - angel of darkness' lying around here so I thought I'd "borrow" it and check that out. Not a huge fan of the series, but haven't played anything new to me in a while.

Currently playing "n", which I think I'm damn near the supreme master of...on the last world now, and it's a motherfucker. I might not have finished it yet, but I challenge ANYONE to get as far as I have. Once again, that's "n", a cool ninja flash game. Try it.

I just picked up a copy of Fable: The Lost Chapters on Xbox and have almost finished it. I've only put 8 hours in it, but I've been doing all the side quests and opening all the demon doors.

Murder, do you play RS: Vegas on Live?

I did for 48 hours :p My 360 froze just about every time I tried to play RSV online though....

My friend told me it's because I had the trial version of live, but I don't know why they'd purposely make a trial version worse... you'd think it would be the opposite. I need the wireless adaptor before I get live though.... 150$ at bestbuy for a stupid little thing like that. The premium system should come with it, what's all these wires? My headset is wired which is lame, what's the point of having a wireless controller if you have to be wired to your controller?

Anyway... I'll be getting live eventually, it's pretty much why I bought the system. Right now, between my boyfriend and I we have 8 games already (Never had a system with this much choice haha). I don't really play that much so the need for online kind of died with the combo of good games to play offline andpoor trial (and 150$ wireless adapter...). It only happened with rainbow six, it happened constantly though like every game I tried to play. Also rainbow six would be the only game I would play online.

I think the game I play the most right now is Hexic. :o

I'm going to play condemned when I get home from work tonight, the game's even scarier when you can hear actual junkies throwing up and yelling outside in real life while you're playing.

World of Warcraft, but only for a few weeks.

Well, I haven't had much game playing time but anybody here who plays RSV can find me on Live as Despare. I'd say Gears of War but the online matchmaking on that one sucks.

Played some painkeep arena last night, that one never gets old for me.

Also played FEAR with the lights off. Had to stop after a while. Its so godamn nerve-wracking...


Funny story: Last night, in fear, i had killed one soldier, and hispartner had retreated. So i snuck to the edge of the stairwell he was behind, then popped around. He was a little bit back, so i pumped 3 rounds from the shotgun at him. It kicks up a ton of dust,so i didnt know if i had quite hit him. I chucked a grenade up where i thought he might be hiding. When it exploded, i saw his body move, i HAD killed him with the shotgun. I found out how a second later when his head rolled down the stairs. :) I had blown his head off (literally) and the grenade rolled it like a bowling ball :)

I actually finished condemned! First game I've beaten in a long time. Excellent game, jumped out of my skin a few times.

been playin kingdom hearts 2 on and off since xmas, love those games!! :cool:

Soul Caliber 2.

well RIGHT NOW im not playing a game im putting posts on horror.com.......:rolleyes:

World of Warcraft, which is also why I haven't been posting here very much lately.

Ive been getting pretty hooked on Team Fortress Classic (Half-Life mod) lately. Im terrible at it, but its still really fun.
