I was interested in getting this before 2 came out. What don't you like about it?

Currently playing through the rather excellent Gemini Rue, which harkens back to point and click adventures of the 1990s. It's very redolent of Beneath a Steel Sky, a cyberpunk adventure released on the Amiga and now available as freeware on ScummVM. Gemini Rue has a lot of similarities to Blade Runner, in particular with the music and atmosphere plus the inclusion of ideas surrounding the memory and the human mind.

Pawn shops and other important buildings are in color on the map legend. For example bar/restaurants are purple.

And this helps when there are 14 yellow shops all over the map...

Well these shops have the same items so what's the problem?

They don't have all the same items. Hence why one is a pawn shop, others are not.

Today I purchased Crysis: Maximum Edition for £7.99 from my local Gamestation. Includes Crysis, Crysis: Warhead and Crysis Wars.

[Kaneco]

...with the little time I've had, lately.

I've been playing MK (PS3)

I just beat the 300 challenges, I've bought everything in the krypt and beat story mode.

All I have left to do is, I guess, beat the Arcade Ladder with the characters I have yet
to beat it with.

Finished Resistance about an hour and a half ago. Wow, what an underwhelming game. I'm quite surprised, especially since this came from Insomniac of all developers. Oh well, got my 10 bucks out of it. Have no desire to play it again on "Super Human" difficultly. Just your standard single-player shooter fps. The story is terribly told. Could have been completely awesome and dramatic, but NOOOO, gotta keep it all "mysterious" and detached so people can wonder about what the Chimera are. There whole approach to the narrative just fell completely flat on it's face. Uncharted put this game to SHAME. You know you fucked up when even the first Gears of War had more story AND character(s) going for it. I wouldn't mind trying the multiplayer for shit's and giggles(it's probably pretty dead), but I obviously can't do that at the moment.

Either way, I guess it's time to sink some actual time into Mortal Kombat again. Got the challenge tower to get back to working on, as well as beating the regular arcade mode for the endings. Should be really fun. That, and I need to finish Portal soon.

[Dracarys]

I thought Resistance really lacked boss battles, the Walker/Spider-mech/whatever it was early in the game where you need hit the back of its neck was cool, rest of the game felt missing.

I only ever played through it once also, I guess at launch it would have seemed a lot better.

I don't know if they ever fixed it, as of last year they had not, but you can use R1 to sign into PSN and then play an unpatched game, usually playing an unpatched game forces you to sign out.

I mean a totally different PS3 game, to be clear, like an unpatched MvC3, as an example.

I didn't much care for Resistance either. It just didn't feel right. The weapons were blah, the enemies also quite boring. And near the end I just wanted to get done with it, something I usually don't get with a game.

[Mr. Spencer]

Going to have to disagree with you there, I think Fall of Man was a better game than Resistance 2. Sure, Resistance 2 had a fantastic multiplayer element and I still play it online even now, but it catered to CoD players with regenerating health and all that crap. Which is why I'm already pleased with Resistance 3, they got rid of regenerating health and put in the good old fashioned health pack. Now you've got to be intelligent and resourceful to win battles instead of just running away and hiding somewhere until your health regenerates.

For a launch title, Fall of Man was fantastic. Certainly doesn't hold up today though. Also, I think the weapons were far more interesting than what you typically see in first-person shooters. The Bullseye, Auger, etc, all new mechanics which made the game more fun. If there's one thing that Insomniac do well, it's weapons.

I'm in complete agreement about Hale, he was a very boring character. They tried to add some personality to him in Resistance 2 but aside from his Old Snake-esque 'final hours' near the end of the game, he came across as another generic bald space marine. What's funny is that I think he'll be a much more interesting character in Resistance 3, I'd say why but it would spoil Resistance 2. His legacy lives on.

Mortal Kombat - decided to go through mastering as they say of the characters and of course I'm starting with Sonya

I hopefully will be picking up Socom 4 today

[Branden_Lucero]

still working on the same damn one.

[PracticalAl]

I'm flying to Arizona on Thursday! Any recommendations for a good Nintendo DS/DSi/3DS game to keep me busy on the plane? I'm considering Pokemon White or Dragon Quest IX at the moment.. Thor: God of Thunder looks good too. Decisions, decisions..

[Enetirnel]

I'd probably say Dragon Quest IX.

But that's just me, being a Square fan. >_>;

I've been playing Sol Survivor on Steam, MGS4/Uncharted/InFamous on my PS3 but haven't picked them up for a few days because playing with really bad food poisoning isn't fun.

Talk about trippy with it and InFamous, played for a few minutes and nearly threw up instantly (I didn't though, luckily) due to the motion blur when grinding along power lines.

I'm partially tempted to play a drinking game with Smiley sometime around with either InFamous, Tekken or BlazBlue or something with flashing lights everywhere.

Tempted to go back through Mass Effect, or to get around to playing Dead Space or some of the other games like Penumbra and Amnesia on Steam sometime.

SOcom 4 and Mortal Kombat

Seeing as how there is no sign of psn coming back up I'm gonna do what I've been putting off for so long and that's collecting all the treasures in Tomb Raider Underworld so I can finally get platinum

[aris13]

Demon Souls and Last Window.
