Video Games

as long as you can dive through the air with a gun in each hand shooting wildly, really slowly... I'll play it.

Anybody else played the FIFA 12 demo? I'm so excited, looks like they have sorted out defending(no more squaring in the box for a tap in). Menus look good and it seems faster overall(smoother keepers/subs etc).

If I were to pre-order through say, Amazon, should I expect to receive it on the release date?

Oh and Messi is 95!

Haven't played the demo... might have to get it downloaded.

On another note, gears 3 gets 5*

I'd like to get Fifa 12 but not sure if I like buying in to the whole buy a new football game every year. Also battlefield is out and that will consume my life for a few months.

Also, has anyone got Dead Island? The first trailer looked incredible, but the game looked quite arcadey.

If some of you having Fallout withdrawal, there's a nice little 'confession' regarding fallout;

Ed that tumblr is fucking awesome. Makes me want to play fallout tonight. fuck it I will.

I can't, the computer have a hard drive failure and my Xbox copy of Fallout is with the ex, argh.

Wish they had a Mac version though.

Ah damn.

I'd recommend Mass Effect Ed. I've been seriously hooked on it recently. I also love the fact you can move your player over from 1 to 2, you can borrow both of them if you like?

YO GUYS.

Finished Portal 2 and am going to get FIFA 12, so skydancer and soul, anytime you want me to return your games, let me know. And thanks!!

Forgot you had my Fifa.... meet up next week some time?

Sure thing, away Monday and Tuesday, but after dat.

Nice one crispin glover
Now who did I promise portal 2 to next?
Ed?
horatio?

Oh just for you Ed;

I'm tingling with glee.

Just did something stupid and purchase another copy of Fallout NV (luckily it's cheap now), time to fire up the ol' Xbox.

Bit annoying though, it look so much better on the PC.

I've got it on PC chap, much prefer it too. Fallout 3 was good but NV is miles ahead imo.

I really prefered Fallout 3 to NV. I can't bring my self to finish NV, however have finished almost everything in 3 (inc DLCs)

It's very much a personal choices really, neither are better, just different.

I liked FNV because of the Mojave Wasteland that despite the fallout, somehow doesn't look bleak anymore (unlike F3) the extraordinary storyline and side mission was something that kept me going, I'd call it as a black comedy.

Fallout 3 were a perfect nuclear fallout games with a compelling movie-worthy plots that make you feel like you're doing something for mankind.

Fallout 3 was too enclosed for my liking. I didn't like the fact it was so dark all the time. NV on the other hand ever though something terrible had happened it was still quite a pleasant place to look at. So long as you didn't get too close to the death claws!!

I really need to sit down and power through NV, but the review games eat my time. Atm Driver SF, not sure what's next, maybe Skyrim (although I think my Editor wants that)

I want it.

you enjoyed driver? I quite liked it. Silly story, good fun.

I enjoyed driver up to the point where you could transfer in to other peoples cars, what a crock of shit.

I liked the bleak, depressing environment of Fallout 3 better than New Vegas. It felt far more apocalyptic and there was more tension. New Vegas had better factions and a more interesting story to it and I loved being able to craft more items and use recipes.

I realised one thing I liked about FNV is that it have a set path - simply to get to NV, which at the beginning felt like a long trek going around the Mojave.

F3 is pretty much go wherever you like, take any path to get to your destination, which was great but I liked the feeling of a mission to get to where I should.
