Your first gaming memories

As I suspect most the people on this forum have, I've been gaming my whole life. My first ever memory of playing a video game was on a ferry from England over to Ireland when I was about 3. Must have been '81-'82. We were going over to visit family, and I distinctly remember my dad holding me up to ...

Re: The "Man-Cave" / "Lady-Cave" Illustrated

I used to have a really nice set up. About a dozen consoles plus an Amiga all hidden wires and ready to play, wall to wall shelves of games ranging from the classics to the rare. Had to sell most of it over the space of a particularly hard year a while back. I'll see if I can find some old pics. It ...

Re: Games completed 2012

The last boss wasn't too difficult but the re-generating Necromorph was a bastard! I wasted loads of ammo trying to kill it lol. It was funny, when I started the game I was properly jumping and tense, but by the end chapters you get kind of used to it and all your guns are all bad-ass by then you ne...

Re: Games completed 2012

Just finished Dead Space 2. Apart from a bit of a crummy ending the game was awesome! Way way better than the first game, which I just found boring. Think I'm going to replay Red Dead Redemption next.

Re: Resident Evil

Resident Evil used to be one of my favourite game series. I was a bit late to the Playstation party, and didn't get one until about a year after release. My mate had been going on about this game Resident Evil for ages, and eventually I got a copy. We sat up and completed the game from start to fini...

Re: Dyad

Never even heard of it until I saw this thread, so I Googled it and OMG WANT!

I was a huge fan of both Rez and Space Giraffe and this looks almost like the bastard son of them both. Looking forward to it!

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I watched a documentary called The Bridge which was about the 24 people who committed suicide in 2004 by jumping of The Golden Gate Bridge! It would be fair to say that it was Heavy and Heartbreaking stuff but it did highlight just how many tormented souls there are out there, Seeing both family an...

Psychonauts would be good.

Also, what about a three part 'Mario Game series' looking at SMB on the NES right through to Galaxy 2 on the Wii!

Re: Your Anticipated Games of 2012

I love the Assassins Creed series, but other than that I can't think of anything at all on the horizon that excited me. Looking further in to next year, Quantic Dreams' Beyond, and obviously GTA V.

Re: Game Suggestions for the Podcast

Yeah, my own personal experience of LA Noire was as follows : 30 minutes : This game is pretty good 1 hour : This is an amazing game! So original! 3 hours : Uh, this is well boring. Just keep doing the same thing over and over. 8 hours : Oh, that's it? Bit of an anti climax. 12 hours : WTF? The stor...

Re: The Walking Dead

I've played the first episode through on the iPhone. I thought it was brilliant. Might buy the whole series on PS3 at some point. It seems like it would have decent replay value to, what with the pretty big decisions you have to make. It's almost like a graphical 'choose your own adventure' book wit...

Oh God, that little robot was annoying, haha.

I'll give Borderlands 2 a try when it comes out, sounds like they've worked on the story a little at least.

Re: Game Suggestions for the Podcast

If we ever do a Heavy Rain episode, I'm gonna have to make sure my knives are extra sharp for that particular narrative travesty! :twisted: Haha I take it you weren't a fan? I thought it was good, certainly kept me guessing right up to the end. I remember lending the game to my brother one morning....
