Everything to do with our favourite pastime! Reviews, recommendations, sells/swaps, problems etc. Whether they are on the latest consoles, arcade or retro classics. It's not the winning or losing, we came to play!
Couldn't find this through the search, but I recently discovered Harmotion after searching desperately for some kind of vs. shmup for the PC. And amazingly, I found one. This. Lovely neon laser thingies, mad shooty action with nice power-ups, and completely online (as opposed to using USB pads or crowding round a keyboard.)
I posted a Cube game recommendation last night but it appears to have been wiped. Never noticed this thread before but couldnt see any in here so guess I'll just have to make my own way then.
Lists like these are fine until they turn into huge threads which then make navigating and finding what you're after a chore.
Given we are foremost a gaming forum, I'm sure we would benefit from a seperate section that will allow a seperate thread for each console / computer recommending games and sharing ideas?
Never judge a man until you have walked in his mocassins for 2 moons.........
good call once again mamemeister. And i recomend a great game for the ps2 the game in question is the .hack series which are
part 1 .hack infection
part 2 .hack mutation
part 3 .hack outbreak
part 4 .hack quarantine
and the the second chapter of the same series
.hack//G.U. vol. 1//Rebirth
Great Rpg series to play for there practaly a limitless number of dungons to go through. and the game itself is a simulation of an online mmorpg. I like the series for i am an anime fan myself and i liked the story of the game and the game itself got you involved with the characters in my view. Ill stop there in case i sounds like a sales pitch
Well, Muttley's second post on page 1 has the first 4 pages worth listed, but then you'd have to start reading from page 5 for those added after the last edit.
Is this going to take long, only my foot's gone to sleep and I'd like to catch it up.

QWAK PC is on it's way ... keep scanning http://www.QWAK.co.uk ... or even sign up to the newsletter for notification.
Ruff 'n Tumble is being re-done on the PC but in the style of the original Amiga game. Sorry can't find the link on my Vista laptop so will have to dredge through some old hard drives to find it now. Had a playable demo download too.
As for old old PC games, Pitfall :The Myan Adventure was nice as it was Win95 so hassle free too
Also The Reap is a fantastic Win95 game a bit like Neo-Geo's Viewpoint on steriods
Sorry if these have already been mentioned - but what the hey:
(ZX Spectrum)
Halls of the Things - superb..... and better than the PC remake IMO
(DS)
Puzzle Quest
Yoshis Island 2 (prefer it to the original)
(Xbox)
Black (ramp up the difficulty settings and see how you do)
Final Burn Alpha (emulation of Capcom/NeoGeo gear) ... months worth of fun and beautifully emulated.

My all-time favourite C64 game was Project Firestart. It's one of the few games that actually managed to scare me while playing it. Plus it was pretty far ahead of its time. I love playing it even to this day. Certainly a game worthy of this list.
