Never played any of the AC series - any good?

No - I lie. I played about five minutes of a version on a friends iPod Touch. Was OK as platformers go.

!st AC was broken
Got better with each iteration.

The one before last - AC Brootherhood (?) set in Italy was brilliant. I don't know what it was but the scenery and the general feel i.e. summer in Italy really pulled me in.

Unlike with COD, where I would feel all jittery after playign it, AC made me feel nice and warm.

How the hell did he manage to spend 3k? I spent half that upgrading my PC over 12 months ago and still haven't found anything that comes close to seriously taxing it.

Exactly what I was going to say.

^ not related to 3k rig, just interesting.

Played the sims 3 last night, damn I love that game.

I can't update mine though as it won't connect online.

Having fun with a tiny house and 1 bloke working his way up the career ladder, but he gets lonely, I may seduce a women of the neighbourhood before long and have some offspring.

Never played any of The Sims series - never saw the appeal. I enjoyed Sim City when I was doing a geography gcse but that was about it.

Sim City 4 ftw. A few months ago I built most of a fully working London, with working rail system and everything. The game is epic.

To be honest I think they are awesome games but you'll play them loads then not touch it for a while It's not a game you can play constantly for months (well I can't anyway)

It also makes a nice change of pace from BF3 (the main other game I play at the moment) or counterstrike, shooting and on edge all the time.

Bloody hell, I'd love to see that. Have you got any screen shots?

Also is this the place to ask about torrents downloads or should I ask that somewhere else?

I hear you can find them if you play Skyrim.

And lose them if you play too much Skyrim.

or in my case, lose them if you don't play games and stop bugging them all the time

The bank heist is free to play this weekend on steam. Donwloading it overnight but PC is loud when I'm trying to sleep!

minecraft. Jus sayin

Absolutely loving SSX. A return to form for the series (music is a bit iffy though)

Dear Esther ... what a fucked up game. I don't even know if I'd call it a game.
Have to write a short review today on it and Atom Zombie Smashers

Wasn't a bad game, quite samey which meant I didn't really want to buy it.

Think I'll be playing BF3 tonight, almost at first level colonel.

GT5 has not left my PS3 for the last week.
Trophy whored Sunday morning, got all the photo ones.
B speccing while i am at work, yesterday i set the 9 hour Tsubuka(?) enduro.
got home to see it had crashed at 6h59m, so frustrating.
Left it running today, same race, hopefully it wont do it again. :/

I remember I did the 24 hours race in GT2.

Never again.
