What games are you playing at the moment.

Recently I was given a laptop (no need to be jealous)
A Pentium II 300mhz, 90MB RAM, 12GB HDD
It's big & old & heavy, but it's great for retro games.
so I've gone back to playing :
Battle Chess
Colonization
Constructor
Diablo II Lord Of Destruction
Dune
FFED3D
Geoff Crammond's Formula1
Head Over Heels
Links LS '99
Lone Wolf Books (Project Aon version)
UFO - Enemy Unknown
Ultimate Soccer Manager 2

Alien

If you're going back to some classics, then Dungeon Keeper 2 is a must :)
 
Currently Red Dead Redeption.
It's also a free roam hunting game.

I'am Hunter level 3 but didn't noticed the challanges. Go check that out.
 
battle chess? really? i still own a copy for the amiga! never played to often, i'm a bad chess player.

won't be a long list,
Frontier
Pioneer (by now, i didn't play to often, been allways outlasted with my models in general, fascinating!).
- a long pause
Sport Car GT (have to mount the wheel and pedal first)
Ports of Call (sometimes, on emulated amiga, PC release is crap)
SimCopter (costs my nerves, it hangs more often the newer my computer gets)
Zool 2 (of course amiga to, if ever i like to play a jump & run)
Need for Speed High Stakes (only because of my models i did for, i simply love to drive my creations or partwise altered ones, i like oldtimers, that's the main reason for sports car)
 
has anybody seen anything about a game thats meant to be coming out on the xbox this month call darkstar one? it looks very frontier like from the brief amounts i've seen

Must be a nod to Frontier as it starts with the Blue Danube, noticed a couple of things from the trailer, seems as if there's a bounty hunter side to it, noticed a weapons boost message pop up, seems to have a very busy background with galaxys and huge nebula etc, a role playing element, and wormholes.

Looks as if they are pitching a mix of Frontier, X series etc.
 
What Iam wondering about is have they changed the story or is it just the same as the pc version?
Or have they just added hi def graphics and some new side missions.and it not the the first space sim on the 360,there's the indie game Space pirate
 
check me quoting myself! ego!
well its ok, decent gameplay,good graphics,nice music decent storyline but also with free roaming, not as good as frontier but worth a blast till elite4 comes out (hopefully!)

What's it like playing with the joypad? and have you had any problems with bugs in the game?.

no bugs spotted so far,everything seems ok. as for the joy pad its all fairly well thought out in terms of controls and if elite4 were to ever come out with a simliar control method i wouldnt have any problems with it.

post 99! not bad seeing as i rarly have anything to say! better make the next one an epic piece of prose!

Currently playing:
  • Burnout Paradise - Much better than I thought it was going to be. About 75% complete. Love the multiplayer challenges. The netcode is a bit random at times though.
  • Left 4 Dead 2 - More of the same only a bit harder and with melee weapons. Only played through the first 2 co-op campaigns and the finale events were depressingly similar. Still fun though.
  • Saints Row 2 - Still undecided on this one. The port is shocking, and driving with a keyboard is an "interesting" experience (instant full lock). Might try and mix of keyboard & mouse and controller.
  • Killing Floor - Much harder than I thought it was going to be. Don't have enough friends that play it at the moment, but a good time waster.
