Video Games

playing the CS beta. It's good.

Going to buy it this weekend I think. Have you had a taste of the new game modes yet?

there are new game modes? I've played some classic bomb and hostage maps and a couple of new gun game maps.

Yeah a gun game, and a remarkably similar gun game...

New maps are quite nice though.

I got really upset that they'd removed the scout (or at least I thought they had) until I found it again, only to find out I'm shit at it now, and I wish I'd never found it.

Needs to be silenced... that would be hamazing.

Just played the trial of Dust an Elysian Tail on 360 which looks great. Animated 2dD platformer with smooth fighting controls and rpg stuff. Like a touch Viewtiful joe mixed with okami, a hint of bayonetta finished off with castlevania.

Contemplating buying the game for 1200 ms points (A tenner?)

Is there a demo?

yes

I shall find at some point.

Anyone played Sleeping Dogs? Quite tempted by this, looks fun.

I would let them lie, quite frankly.

Its okay so far. Only played about half an hour.

In other news... anyone played this yet?

Looks interesting.

There are fixed gear bikes in GTA V, it seems.

Is that jumping the shark?

Another screen shot? Is it still set for a release date this year? I damn well hope so :(

Ermahgerd!!! Ferxed ger berk!

ermaghd fixie skidders

and jets... dinnae forget the jets.

(fucks off to find a jet forum)

I was just coming here to post that. Can't tell what's going on with the bike, the screenshot on eurogamer is a little clearer and seems to have one massive sprocket and rear derailleur...

Bet the spokes are all wrong as well. They should've got me to model it, the berks.

Ermahgerd!! Ernhimerter werr!

Maybe you have to work out at the gym before you can pop wheelies...

Just about to pull the trigger on CS go. Boom there goes my weekend!

Debating darksiders 2... but I have a stack of games I need to play

To me these screenshots indicate that, as technically impressive as GTA IV was, it just wasn't as fun (for me) as GTA SA. I've played that game so much recently, it just never gets old.

GTA III is still king.

I was thinking the same thing Jakebrown I love GTA4 but this looks fantastic, both on a game play and fun level which is what all games are about really, having fun.

So how many of us are going to be giving Counter Strike Global Ops a go this weekend? I'm down for a few games.

Yep. I've already warned the missus.
