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....

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I'm currently playing Dead Space 2 on the PS3 and Max Payne on the PC. The Max Payne replay was inspired by the C&R podcasts the other day, and before I play the third game. Dead Space 2 I'm loving. I gave up on the first one towards the end - I got so bored with it, felt it was over long and re...

Re: Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes

Ah brilliant! Cheers. I've half a mind they were also included on the GC version of Twin Snakes, but I sold my copy a long time ago and my memory is hazy at best... EDIT : Hmm, no on further investigation it seems they weren't on that disc. They must have had a 'recap' type option on the menu as I d...

Re: Half Life - Black Mesa Source

When Half Life 2 came out, an amateur dev team started building the first Half Life game, shot for shot, in the new HL2 Source engine. Early screenshots looked brilliant. This was years ago. Over the years I think the game evolved from being a straight up copy of the original Half Life in to somethi...

Re: Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes

Slightly off topic, but anyone know the best way to play the original Metal Gear games? I only ever played Metal Gear Solid, but I'm thinking I'd like to work my way through the whole series, starting with the first two and playing the rest on PS3 (MGS on PSN and then the HD collection, finishing wi...

Re: The videogame music thread - share your favourite tunes

I've spent the last couple of months listening to the Mass Effect soundtracks on Spotify. They are brilliant, as I'm sure almost everyone knows. Really good blend of orchestral and synth stuff. Some of it sounds like the old Blade Runner soundtrack. This is an amazing piece of music, rivals anything...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

My girlfriend and I started watching Breaking Bad the other night on Netflix. Only up to a couple of episodes in to season 2, but loving it so far. The last thing I watched was Once Upon A Time, which I really liked. I've been in a bit of a TV limbo since Lost finished, trying to find something to f...

Re: Borderlands

I started playing this a couple of weeks ago as it was free on PS+. I initially really liked it, the setting, graphics, sound, everything - it was a lot of fun. As I put the hours in I kept on thinking that the missions would start to get more interesting and varied. They didn't, and I eventually ga...

Re: Half Life - Black Mesa Source

Hasn't it been 'coming out in 12 days' for the best part of 8 years? I don't want to be a damp squib, but if that game comes out in 12 days I'll eat my tie (I don't own a hat).
