Currently playing CS:S more than anything. :)

Been spending a while on the expansion pack for C&C3 but the story based side of the game is awfully short, and whilst the new Risk like sub game is fun for a few hours, I cant really see myself playing it for long.

Oh well back to trying to prove the P90 is imba!

Until my exams and diss are out of the way, Im trying to not play much.

So this means instead I am spending hours on facebook playing the flash games like Ghost Racer, as well as haunting Channel 4s game listings. Bow street runner is quite good (http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/C/city-of-vice/game/bow-street-runner/game.html)

Crysis, absolutely brilliant, the best FPS Ive played since the original Half Life 2 and Doom before that. The storyline really sucked me in.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X with SP2 (makes it nice a playable now).

Dawn of War : Soulstorm. Im not a fan of Sisters of Battle but enjoying slaughtering them online with Space Marines.

Company of Heroes. Quite an old game but Ive only just picked it up and am very much enjoying it. Highly recommended if you enjoy a good RTS without too much base building.

Also beta testing a few MMOs at the moment.

So, conan then. :)


I stupidly reactivated my Warcraft account after 6 months out of game.  Got a Mount Hyjal and Tempest Keep fast clear tonight and Black Temple Clear tomorrow to gear me up fast for Sunwell at the weekend.  Doh!  Guess thats me for 3-4 nights a week then.

I hated Warcraft, it was the only MMO I could never really stick with. It all felt rather linear, but admittedly my gripes were more with the fan-base than the game itself.

yeah - high end pve and pvp is pretty hardcore even in WoW.  But I get the impression you quite like your role playing etc which means its not going to be your sort of thing.

Back on the Orange Box for me, carrying on with EP2 atm.  Got stuck retrieving the essence for reviving the alyx vance.  Now Im past that and met the advisor pod/2nd set of hunters.

Yep, those kind of games are all about the exploration and immersion for me rather than the high end raiding and the phat loot.

Even though you have an NDA, can you say whether the game you are playing is immersive and all that?

Im the same in that WoW got to a point where you really couldnt solo stuff and I couldnt be doing with the hanging around for 2 hours to get a group together only for it to be too late really to get started so you leave just as theyre going in heh...

I want to play through Ep2 but I cant afford it, and for some reason I actually like to buy HL games.

I bought a copy of the Orange Box so Im working my way through HL2, part1 nd part 2 eventually. £26 iirc. Part 2 shouldnt be that expensive.

I want into the Beta of Warhammer so much due to the big scale RvR just like in Dark Ages of Camelot, how I loved that game :)

I just played through the Starship Troopers game.

Its underated imo, as its quite good fun doing level attack and watching kills go into the thousands. Its like Serious Sam, but buggier...

Not played a lot on the PC as of late, only game that gets a look in atm on the PC is Dawn of War: Soulstorm and Darwinia.

Although I am highly addicted to Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword on the DS :D Far to good that game.
