in the last year i found that http://www.vg247.com/ was very up to date with all kinds of gaming news

by TheLaw Fri Sep 02, 2011 5:22 pm

Its funny, all the above sites are good news sites and pretty much carry the same news, but its the readers comments to some of the news i find the best.
You cant beat gamers at sarcasm and wit.
Brilliant

Is Homefront worth getting for €12.50.

I know about the campain but is the mp still active. If someone can answer this for me today I would be great since it only for that price on zavvi today.

by **VampiricPadraig** Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:56 am

For Xbox or PC.

If PC, try the free trial on OnLive. 30 Mins of the full game, so that might be enough of time to check the multiplayer

by **SilentHunter** Mon Sep 05, 2011 10:05 am

For 360 (but it the same price for the pc version) but my pc wouldn't be able to run it and also onlive my broadband is shit for streaming.

by TheLaw Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:26 am

Anybody with a copy of Portal 2 for the 360, who hasn't played any co-op yet, want to help me grab the Professor portal cheevo??

I'm the same except I haven't touched the co-op yet. So anyone who has the PC version (or PS3) that wants to play co-op that hasn't played it yet?

by **VampiricPadraig** Sun Sep 18, 2011 6:21 pm

Anyone get Magicka on Steam???

by Yggdrasill Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:01 pm

Yes back in January I think. It's pretty good. I think it was cheap too.

Got a loan of Assassins Creed 2 and Brotherhood! Haven't played the first one, but the story can't be THAT complex that I don't follow it. Razz

Anybody with a 3DS or DSi, they're giving away Zelda: Four Swords for free for DSiware as part of Zelda's 25th anniversary! It's got an added single player mode too where you can control two Links.
I've yet to play it multiplayer, but I'd say it works really well having it wireless!

I agree. It was the last zelda game I need and I did get bored quick.

by **namesRhard** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:43 pm

But it was free! Razz

by **VampiricPadraig** Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:50 pm

Just finished Portal 2 again, this time on the PC (Got it for €15 on Steam)
Played co-op with a friend who was playing it on the PS3. Good laughs there!

Got RockBand 3 for the Xbox. Enjoying it, except it takes FOREVER to get fans for your band.
Good music in it this time, I recognise alot more in RB3 than RB2.

Got back into Black Ops. It's grand once you ignore the 13yo kids!

by TheLaw Sun Oct 16, 2011 3:12 pm

Has anyone picked up the limited edition of dark souls yet?
Does it have a metal case?

by warrior00 Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:17 pm

I will be getting MW3 sometime this week and will hopefully get to play it at the weekend. Very Happy

I've also got to play COD:WAW as its the only COD game i havent played so i might pick it up at some stage.

by TheLaw Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:02 am

Picked up Skyrim at a midnight launch last night.
Brilliant game. So immersive
Im glad i waited for it rather than buy the shooters.
Ill pick them up a little cheaper after christmas

by **namesRhard** Sat Nov 19, 2011 12:20 am

I want that special edition of Skyward Sword with the gold Wiimote!
I assume it's one of the new ones that're wii+ enabled.

by warrior00 Tue Nov 22, 2011 3:10 am

Started playing Fallout 3 last week. Wot a game dont know why im so late playing it. I have about 35 hours done and only have a few quests done i comb over every area i go into and stock pile all the stuff i collect in my house and then when i have loads of stuff i sell at the shops i have found. This game will take ages to complete and also to find all locations. I find its harder when your out in the open or when there is multiple enemies coming at u at the same time.

by Quadnike Tue Nov 22, 2011 9:03 pm

I hate the tunnels and metro stations freak the hell outta me with the ghouls

by **SilentHunter** Wed Nov 23, 2011 11:51 am

Skyward sword is amazing. At first I wasn't liking the art style Nintendo were going with but I love it now.

I don't have much time in playing it as I would have hope to.

by warrior00 Thu Nov 24, 2011 2:25 am

Did anybody play the add-ons for fallout 3 do you continue with your weapons and stats??

by **SilentHunter** Thu Nov 24, 2011 9:56 am

warrior00 wrote:Did anybody play the add-ons for fallout 3 do you continue with your weapons and stats??

Yes, you keep your stats and items.

by dooley Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:03 pm

warrior00 wrote:Did anybody play the add-ons for fallout 3 do you continue with your weapons and stats??

Yes also Broken Steel raises the level cap from 20 to 30.Imo the best ones out of the 5 available were Broken Steel,Point Lookout and The Pitt.Operation Anchorage is decent but linear and Mothership Zeta was disappointing(plus there was a glitch that caused me to get stuck and have to reload previous saves a few times.Don't know if it ever got patched tbh)

by warrior00 Thu Nov 24, 2011 5:33 pm

I reloaded an old save in fallout 3 that i had from near the end and im going around doing the side quests and it will take forever. Im also going to try and reach level 20. Im not far off 19 so it is do-able after doing a few side quest and killin the enemies that u meet during such quests. Also i forgot to mention when i was completing the game i had to look up a guide to get the password at the end if somebody knew that password them selves fair play to them as i had no idea wot it was. Also wot happens if u send in the girl who was with u at the end does she die as well as i went in myself and died after saving everybody.

Yeah she dies if you send her in instead and you get the "bad" ending

im posting here just because its more likely that my post will be seen here. do any of you guys know of decent cheapish flat screen computer monitors i could get my hands on for the ball and chain for her ps3? i got her a ps3 for her birthday and shes playing it on a big shithole banjaxed colour tv that shows up in grey. its an insult to the machine if you know of any lemme know. or atleast the best place to shop

by **namesRhard** Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:08 pm

Someone told me they have Skyrim new for €25 in game for PS3, anyone know if the deal is for 360 too? Or even if it's still on?

by **SilentHunter** Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:59 am

Gog are doing 50% off everything (except the codemaster games and gothic games.)

They are also giving Empire Earth for free till tomorrow. So get it now.

Now I'll be picking up Wing Commander: Priviteer and Might and Magic: I-VI.

by dooley Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:49 pm

Anyone seen this?It's a kart racing game available on the app store

http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=169773

It's got to be the most blatant rip off I've ever seen Laughing

by **namesRhard** Thu Jan 26, 2012 9:05 pm

Just got Super Street Fighter 4. Are all the characters unlocked as a default or is it 'cause I had them unlocked in SF4?
Kind of a cop-out that people get Gouken and Akuma off the cuff! Evil or Very Mad

by **namesRhard** Mon May 21, 2012 4:24 pm

Anybody have Ultimate Marvel Versus Capcom 3? Thinking of picking it up after my exams.

Also anyone seen the remake packages of Silent Hill 1-3 and Metal Gear Solid 1-3? If I can afford them I think I'll be picking one up!

by **VampiricPadraig** Tue May 22, 2012 10:46 am

I got Street Fighter X Tekken last week on PC for €14.32 from GamerKeys.net (Change the currency to Euro at the top).

It was the same crowd that I got Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on PC for less than €15

and Saints Row: The Third for €13.66

OMG Saints Row: The Third. Having sooo much fun with it (If you have never played it, it's a funnier version of GTA).

Also, I am playing Nexuiz on PC and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. I have seemed to turn into a full time PC gamer, but I still play the Xbox and Ps3 every so often!

by **SilentHunter** Tue May 29, 2012 9:05 pm

I only heard bad things about SR: the third. There isn't the same charm as there was in the second one. My friends also said the same thing and have said "just stick with the second one, the third is just the same except half the content."

by **VampiricPadraig** Sat Jun 02, 2012 12:08 am

Just a FYI,

All Press Conferences are being streamed on http://twitch.tv/gamespot so there should not be any jumping around different streams like a couple of years ago (shudders) and anything after that (Other booths and other companies) are going to be on http://twitch.tv/e3

Twitch is a pretty good gaming livestream site (If you have never heard about it). Very Happy

by **namesRhard** Sun Jun 03, 2012 3:18 pm

Anybody know what games are on the list of 500 for the €3 trade in deal? I tried googling it but it just gave me some Boards threads for their old deal.
