Oooh. I just thought of one for PC: The Longest Journey. Darned fine adventure game and dirt cheap on Steam. Even works on Vista.

Re: Loving it


Ooh, I'd love to! It's been a while since I played it again (I wasn't a hardcore player, and I've only played the dwarf for most of the time as I am a lousy aim...

My Gamertag is Carolus Billius . Is it with the Vista thing too that you have Gamertags and friend requests? And can you also play ...

Loving it

I didn't really like Counter-Strike, so for me this is like a FUN Counter-Strike. It's really well balanced and even with just bots it's a lot of fun. I'm certainly enjoying it.

I actually got the PC version, but since it plays just like the 360 one once you plug in a pad it's fine and dandy. Laid ...

Harhar. I suppose I'll have to get one. It's just tough deciding on the colour :twisted:

Yeah you can count me in as well. I've come to terms with my whoredom. At first I too thought it was silly, but figured it would at least be useful for keeping up with what your friends are doing.

Now I'm a lost cause, though. And yeah, it does make you care more about things. Go back and get the ...

I don't think there are any on Dreamcasts that even work with anything but 50/60Hz TVs - and none that work with LCDs or projectors. Sadly.

Psychobilly Freakout is tricky indeed. I just went into pratice mode to get a feel for the chord changes. Just played it over and over and gradually sped it up. That did the trick for me - on expert too.

Heh, nice to know we have a bugbear here with us. I think you lot did a fine job on this!

Yeah certainly.

I would, however, love to get the address to whoever placed the camera on the X (and had B as an alternate) as well as made replays the default after-game option. Because I do believe a ...

I find Eurogamer very hit and miss. While there are some insanely good reviews (EDF2017) there are far too many that are so far off it's not even funny.

I've pretty much given up relying on any one site and just look at a place like gamerankings or metacritic and sample a couple of reviews in the ...

I'm not prone to motion sickness. In fact I've never experienced it before in any 3D game. I still got it with Marathon on XBLA :(

I was looking forward to play it, but looks like I'll have to sit this one out. In the corner. Crying quietly.

I'm up for it. I haven't really ventured online at all in FlatOut yet. So much to do offline, but feel free to add me if you wanna have a go sometime.

I mostly had fun with the B mode in original Tetris. I'd start the game with difficulty 9 and level 9 and clear it. Nice little end animation too.

Saying GH80s won't last long is the understatement of the year. I started it out on expert and there were three songs I had to try more than once to beat them :?

Further considering that I really only like about a quarter of the songs and too many of the covers are kinda shoddy it's not really ...

I much prefer this over Burnout as it's indeed a proper racing game albeit a chaotic one. If you're wondering why I'm saying Burnout isn't a proper racing game, it's been pointed out here better than I could: http://www.actionbutton.net/?p=152

There's a definite sense of progression as you learn ...
