Re: Games thread!
What I'd really like is some of the classics in discless. Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, Dungeon Keeper 2, etc. I know there's some "classic games" source kicking around out there. But IIRC it still ships media.

And if you are looking to go REAL oldschool, look up DOSbox. It is an emulator to be able to play classics from WIN95. You'll have to download backups of the images online (for games you legally own, of course) and/or rip your own discs to use it. Posted via Mobile Device |

I've never quite committed enough attention to it to get DOSbox up and running. But I've been doing this since Wizardry 1 on the Apple ][ and I'd like to hit some of the classics again. |

Re: Brink
It is different. I like it, but it is certainly more akin to Team Fortress than COD. Wish the player base was bigger though, I don't think it sold very well, half the time i'm playing with bots.

I also picked up the Witcher 2. Agree with the Bill, the combat sucks but the story is kind of interesting. Still on the fence about it, don't think i'll finish it but it is kinda fun in small doses.

Re: Games thread!
Playing L.A. Noire.
And enjoying it very much.. Story is very good, gameplay has both some shooting and a bunch of puzzles, plus you get to beat the crap out of suspects. Its not quite the action of a GTA or a Red Dead Redemption, but it adds a whole new element to the game engine.

I haven't encountered any playtime bugs at all after about 3-4 hours of play. The only thing I suspect might be a bug is that the weapon selections don't have descriptions. There's a list of stats for each, which is fine for selecting one, but there's no text. Tough to tell if there's supposed to be, having never seen it. I may re-buy Crysis as I can't find the dvd. But then I might just pick up C2 and go with that. The new gaming rig I got on Friday is a hot piece of kit. I keep going back to older stuff, maxing out the graphics and watching what I'd been missing. |

I really think that if they released it a year later with some better testers and less annoying gameplay...it could have been a solid 8.5-9/10. For me now it's a 7.5-8 |

Re: Games thread!
The Witcher 2
Combat 6/10 - This is where the game really lacked, mouse click = fighting. The entire combat is comprised of one mouse click, the keys X and Q. That is it. Story 9/10 - Great interesting story, the end fell a little flat IMO though. Gameplay 7.5/10 - At times confusing and doesn't really explain much. Overall rating, ...eh it's worth playing once if you have nothing else to play. But that's about it. If they would have improved the combat, and maybe added a few hours to the gameplay..... I could go on and on but I'm sure this makes the point. |

Let me elaborate on the way I play MW2. I load into a map and say one of a few phrases "LOL NOOB TUBE" "LOL CAMPING WITH A THERMAL SCOPE" "LOL UMP" etc. I play that game when I'm in a be-a-jerk-online kind of mood. CS:S is pretty fun. And when you load into a gungame, it is really fast paced with zero team work involved. Gungame is also popular in condition zero. There aren't any really modern day shooters (Other than Black Ops, but you already know about that one I'm sure) that are lone-wolf. CS:S, unreal tourney, etc. were all a blast and had no team work required. You always have the option to work as a team - and it is more needed on objective based maps/modes. However, CS:S and UT don't fulfill your single player bit. I'd recommend BF:BC2 or MoH for single player. I play through old school Medal of Honor: Allied Assault every few years. Still a fantastic game. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Games thread!
Crysis 2 would fit the bill for a new game. I actually like the single player more than the multiplayer, but multi isn't bad at all. Maybe try one of the Mount and Blades for something a little different?
