What's new

The Games we play...

I think the DDoS attack at the beginning was detectable. All the hacking and stuff afte the case ended is just rouge anons who are still pissed off at it all.
 
Meh.

I've just been playing Mortal Kombat and it's actually quite fun. I've always been incredibly terrible at MK but this new one I can actually survive and it's not taking it's self completely serious anymore! All that i'm missing is the Toasty and Awwaah noise then it will be awesome. Granted it's not as fun as MVC3 but still pretty good.
 
^I'm awesome at Mortal Kombat: Deception. NOT. Damn, I've been playing that since 2005 and I'm still completely

at it. But I still love it and it's a blast to play, especially 2P Puzzle Kombat <3 Also, Bo' Rai Cho is win.

See, I WOULD download the demo of the new MK but err, you know, the PSN is kinda being raped at the moment.

I think people who have already subscribed to PS+ are getting a little short-changed here. Yes they get the 30 days too but they've also paid for a service which they haven't been able to use the bast 12 days so they're only getting 18 days free in essence?

Be interesting to see what crap content they throw at us for free.
 
Do any of you Xbox 360 owners want to get in on the Gears Of War 3 beta?
I have some codes to give away that will allow you to get in on the last week of the beta.
Send me an email (jerry@coasterforce.com) so I can reply back with the code.
 
Ok, so I got Brink today and I've been playing it. I actually really enjoy it, it's really fun so far and ended up playing for 3 hours which is alot different than what I usually do and play for half an hour and only if I go back do I really enjoy it...

but yeah, I like it.
 
Don't care if I'm late, but as a "end of semester" present to myself, I brought Portal 2 last night and began it this morning...

I love it... Bigger and much bolder version of the original, yet still retains a fair amount of the charm it had... Stephen Merchant has been hilarious and I'm only on Chapter 6...

Loving it...

I walked past Game today in town and it had a massive sign saying it was made in Bromley, just thought I'd share that lovely bit of info with you. Whether it was or not I'm not fussed enough to look into.
 
So MW3 got 4 brand new trailers.. They are 35 second 'teasers' for 4 countries France, Germany, England and America, here's the link to the America one

These are the games I play :p .

1) Some kind of Guitar Hero thing- It's fun, dunno which version it is, probably an older one because it was cheap but it's fun, a bit easy for me though, I don't know why, I just picked it up and can already play most of the songs on hard. Still fun, though, especially since I'm easily amused by just about anything.

2) Ultimate Sega Collection- Well, I got this for $20 at Best Buy and I have to say it was one of my better investments considering the entire family plays it on a daily basis. My favourite games on it are Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic and Knuckles (all four of which I beat already because I am awesome), Flicky, and Columns. It also has Echo, Echo the tides of Time, Vectorman, Shinobi I, Shinobi II, Shinobi III, Kid Chameleon, Streets of Rage I and II, and lots more. A lot of the games are a bit dumb but it has all the Sonics and a few other games I like so it was well worth it!

3) Grand Theft Auto IV & Episodes from Liberty City- I don't actually know if it's GTA IV (I don't know roman numerals so I just guessed), but I know it has to do with New York and stuff. Yah, I know I'm not a gamer and I know this isn't a new game but screw it, I like bargain shopping, not paying $60-70 for new games I'm not even interested in and don't have the ability to play! I actually prefer Grant Theft Auto Vice City for the PS2 to this, it just seemed easier, more simple to control, and more fun in general. That's not to say this one is bad, but I lost interest rather fast and don't have much of a desire to pick it up again, though I assume I will one of these days to get my moneys worth!

4) Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011- <3<3 Probably my favourite game out of the bunch we have. The actual hunting story is really crappy, so I just tend to play the shooting galleries which are a lot of fun and so much better than story mode! I feel badass with the gun, and another bonus is that I get to embarrass my stepdad, who I believe bought the game to seek revenge for the time I beat him in a shooter at the arcade, because I beat him every time by a long shot. In the shooting galleries it has classic mode where you just shoot the animals that come by, but there are like 20 different levels and three difficulties per level. Then there's survival mode where you have to see how long you can survive being ambushed by a bunch of animals. I'd never hunt in real life but the game is awesome and I really enjoy it.

My sister also has a Kinect or whatever and though her games are a bit childish for me, I have watched her play them and even joined in, so here are the reviews for those.

Kinect Adventures- My family seemed to enjoy it but I didn't like it that much. I don't really dig the concept of having to rearrange the living room to play a game, and I don't dig how the game highlights my poor cardiac ability, haha, but that's more of a dislike of the entire kinect concept rather than the game itself. Don't get me wrong, the idea of getting kids active is brilliant, but if I wanted to be active I'd rather go for a walk or run, not play a video game. As for the game, in general the game is fun, some of the games go on a bit too long and are repetitive, but I can see why the family, and my sister, likes it. Pretty basic and good for kids, but not my bag. A cool touch is how they take your picture while you're jumping around, looking like an idiot!

Kinectimals- Didn't really get the chance to play this one much but the kinect system didn't seem to sync as well with my sister's movements than the other game did, which made it very frustrating for everyone who tried to get it to work. The game seems cute, take care of a pet and stuff, but a lot of it was based around just silly arcade games, so the way it was advertised was a bit misleading. You do get to take care of the pet too, though, but there were a lot more random games thrown in that I didn't expect to be there and that seemed a bit out of place. For most buying this, they probably expect more interaction with the animals.
