hey crispin clover who is elioterio, the op of this thread
Wasn't it you?

Don't know, I started the thread on 28th September 2009, a mod must have merged another earlier games related thread into this one.

They could have told us. Didnt see anything on the mods thread. I'll ask..

I've made a vanity request already!

Apologies if this comes across as a bit spammy, but this is the game I've just finished making the music/sound for, Floating Cloud God Saves The Pilgrims:

Some more info:

I'd be really interested in any feedback/opinions once it comes out (next month, I think).

And if anyone has played the previous Dakko Dakko game I worked on (The 2D Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character, also PSP/PS3 Minis) I'd welcome comments/praise/abuse/derision on that.

Diablo III now available for pre-order.

No release date, but I feel better now it's been pre-ordered. Progress.

Pah I've had it on pre order since 2008! When it was meant to be released!

Just stated playing the original Fallout, all find of awesome.

Playing a bit of Star Trek Online now it's free to play - quite good fun actually, a little soul-less but plenty to do and PEW SPACESHEPS

The Secret World! Gimme that beta invite..

For all you RTS fans on PCs:

Looks interesting, and a little less zergy and clicky than Starcraft.

Last night went to PS Vita launch party. Tim Westwood verses Chris Moleys on decks (wtf really did go through my head), but hey free bar and I snuck my gf+mate in as well. Rant comes, FREE bar + 5am taxi for plane flight = omfg I feel terrible.

Would I do it again ? Damn straight, I think I rescued my relationship (bit hazy)... but man my head hurt this morning.

Now PS Vita ? If you have cash to burn, buy it. The launch titles are pretty impressive (Escape Plan is awesome). I won't get one for a while as I can't justify the cost... unless I get review copies...

Who here has an iPhone?

This game looks utterly amazing. Loving the way indie developers are using the mobility/connectivity of iOS devices to break the 4th wall more and more.

Alternate Reality gaming ftw. I want to pretend to be a spy on my lunch break!!

Out at the end of this month.

Interesting. Though I think I prefer this game, which is similar.

an odd question.. I remember a basic game from playing at school a good few years ago. It was a spaceship game, you had to jump up on to blocks and through tunnels along these tracks, in 3D, hitting spacebar to jump. occasionaly gravity changed and you'd be able to jump higher. level names based on planet names. very basic game but very addictive (at least it was then) I can't remember the name of the game, could anyone help?

Does anyone remember Counter Action? Made by a Russian and Polish games developer if I recall - possibly Nashy Igry?

It was an RTS set on the eastern front during the second world war. It was a bit shit, but given we're talking about a game I played on a 486, 12 years ago, I thought it was decent. Found my old CD copy the other day, but it won't run. Is there some sort of emulator I can get that mimics a shit pc? Doesn't seem to work in Run As Win 98 mode.

Was it windoze or dos based?
I use dosbox for Premier Manager 2 shenanigans

That's good

Just for the fallout fan...

Spent 2 hours playing FIFA yesterday, and in that time was called a 'fag' and was told that my mum's a cunt. By a Scotch person. Welcome to Xbox Live, ladies!

went round to my mates house and we both love a bit of retro games, especially the music.

Just found this remix of Mario 64 flying cap music which I am loving

His mobile ringtone is this classic Zelda Ocarina of Time Music- Saria's Song - YouTube

but this has to be up there with the greats F Zero Big Blue > F-Zero - Big Blue - YouTube

Completed the main quest line for Skyrim yesterday and am level 50.

Starting to get a bit grindy now with all the side quests / civil war / factions / deadric & misc things to do.

This looks more and more awesome.

I finished Skyrim's main quest the other week, think I was level 45. To be honest I found myself getting less interested after the exploring was done. Still managed plenty of side quests along the way, but have very little inclination to go back and mop up the reast. Also, talking dragons >>>>>>>>>>>>

Made the most of having last week off work and managed to put some decent hours into BF3, making it to Colonel at the weekend. I cheapend my efforts by whoring the last few points in the Operation Metro meatgrider, scoring 25,000 in one round mostly from healing and reviving the ground meat. Next goal is to get my K/D ratio back in the black, currently 0.94 but climbing steadily.

How did someone get 600% accuracy???

On another note, anyone interested in Skyrim (xbox) £20 inc postage? Good con with map.
