Re: iOS Gaming

League of Evil 2 is free until 25th April for some masochistic platform fun.

Re: Road Rash - Is it still viable?

Multiplayer might be interesting, but I remember thinking that the concept was very much of its time a good ten years ago when I last played it. That said, I'd still buy it! Just that others probably wouldn't.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Borderlands 2 and Assassin's Creed 3 over the last few days - both rentals to test the water before buying. Or not... I just didn't get on with the Borderlands art style so abandoned that fairly quickly. The gameplay, the storyline, the characters were all up my street, but there was no way I could ...

Mmmm. That was my problem with previous iOS attempts at the genre.

Re: iOS Gaming

Sega's House of the Dead: Overkill apparently coming to iOS sometime this month. I'm a sucker for those games but I hope they come up with a better control scheme than the similar Rage HD had, which I never got on with.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I'm watching The Bourne Legacy. I thought it was supposed to be good! Slow as hell and it's filmed like an episode of Friends.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I got Medal of Honor: Warfighter in the post from LoveFilm today. What a game bereft of any personality! The back and forth story completely failed to engage me, which is no surprise, but the combat felt incredibly lightweight and the game is linear to the extreme. At least CoD disguises this with p...

Re: Your Top 50 Games of All Time Lists

Feud was my number two game. Tough call between that and Kick Off for number one, but Kick Off won out as I never kept notebooks full of stats for Feud! May seem bizarre now, but the graphical environment in Feud completely captivated me, and I've have moved into that village given half a chance, (m...

Bioshock lasted longer in my PS3 drive than Duke Nukem Forever and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City if that's any consolation. :twisted:

It has just gone up from 69p to £1.49 unfortunately. Still a bargain though.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I'm completely addicted to Skyrim. I know, it's almost retro now, but I waited a long time for the PS3 version to become playable - which it still isn't now and again with the constant "sticking" in menus. Anyway, what value! I got it for about £18 last month, and I've already had that muc...

Re: Your Top 50 Games of All Time Lists

Thanks for sorting mine and sorry for being such a newbie. Skipping back to NokkonWud's comment, you listed a bunch of stuff I didn't include in my list such as Bioshock, Mass Effect, Fallout 3... And you can add Portal and Heavy Rain to that list of games that I have a completely irrational interes...

Re: iOS Gaming

Here's a recommendation - DRM (Death Ray Manta). Twin stick shooter like Geometry Wars remixed by Jeff Minter. No high scores, just completing as many neon levels that last seconds as possible where getting shot means game over and trying again. I really enjoyed it, as did Eurogamer: http://www.euro...

Re: Your Top 50 Games of All Time Lists

Great idea. Listed the top 10 without too much thought needed, and the rest didn't take too much more, though I'm sure I then missed a load, and in retrospect will want to re-order. Anyway, I think this turned into my fondest gaming memories top 50, and confirms I'm an old saddo with sometimes dubio...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Anyone tried the Dollar Dash demo on PSN? I thought it was brilliant mindless fun, but I never got to the end of a multilayer game without it losing the connection. Never had a connection problem before (or after) but I've tried if a few times and always the same. Shame. I would have bought it other...

These old home computing ads might raise a smile. Don't recall Wiiliam Shatner being a major influence when I got my VIC-20 though!

Re: iOS Gaming

Good recommendation. That one definitely slipped through the net undeservedly. The puzzles are very simple, but there is some quick satisfaction to be had from them. Not a classic, but it's free and I've just spent a happy 45 minutes with it, so thanks for the tip.
