I used to play CS a lot. But my computers too slow to play games.. lol.

I'll play Xbox every now and then, I want a Xbox 360 to play Oblivion though.

PH47 · 21-06-2006, 12:20 AM

is moto gp 06 any good, compared to the earlier versions, heard mixed reports..

there is meant to be a stunning road bike game coming out, i forget the name now, as I read about it a few months ago...

but all the roadbike fans where going nuts over it

NEG · 21-06-2006, 12:41 AM

you name it iv probly played it, so i wont bother listing games, but if you want to play so realistic racing games forget about that need for speed crap. Try 'Live for speed'. 'gt legends'. is also good if you like old cars from the 60's and 70's.

Battlefield 2 (online multi player)
Oblivion
NFS: MW
IWar 2
Ghost Recon: Advanced Fighter
HL2

Just to name a few

Hmmm there are a few online Driving Sims available out there...some of the guys know what they are here...i cant remember...i want on!

charles_wif_xf · 21-06-2006, 12:20 AM

thank god someone posted about computer games!!!

yeah I have truck loads of them, but prefer xbox.. (chipped mine you)!
some of the better games I think are..

any need for speed, although underground is not as clear on the xbox
liked doom3, civ 4 looked ok, but did not play it long. any shoot em up game, CS, BF1942, One xbox title that surprised me was call of duty finest hour, man that was hard as.. another one that I really enjoyed was mx vs atv unleashed, love those quads..

dont know to many drifting games at the moment.. sorry..
but am interested in whats being played/enjoyed

PH47 · 21-06-2006, 12:36 AM

MotoGP 06 is not 'spectacular' but it IS a really good game.. they rushed it out a bit so there's definitely some areas of it you go "that's so NOT next gen".. but over all it's an impressive title and keeps us entertained for hours.. the online and systemlink play is what saved it. Main issues are "screen-tearing" when it drops it's framerate, pixelation issues on shadows, and a rushed background (flat sprite people in the stands, low res textures, etc).. BUT.. once you're racing, you don't notice ANY of this and it's a lot of fun

These were just taken aiming my phone at the screen:

The new game you might've heard about COULD have been Testdrive Unlimited? Not just a bike game but it does have bikes in it and it looks friggin awesome.. I only know of Xbox360 stuff really so could also be a bike game on another platform.

21-06-2006, 12:39 AM

looks good

yeah the one I was refering too is called "Tourist Trophy" apparently made by the people that did gran turismo.... has to be good right!! ;)

bummer its a playstation game, hope the port it!! as if

xurbanx · 21-06-2006, 02:13 AM

Maple Story
Warcraft 3
Counter Strike

Two of those games I play on my brother's computer since mine can't take games. On the PS2 I don't play that often but usually it's co-operative games with the brother.

On the 360 condemned is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Creepy, brutal and generally hair raising events.

I am haning out to play the new hitman. The bank manager says I can't have anymore more money until I donate a kidney to him (he doesn't need it yet, but is planning on having an alcohol problem in the near future)

Also, have been cracking on with DOOM 3 spec-edition on the xBox, brilliant fun as you get Ultimate Doom and DOOM:II

ON_DUBS · 21-06-2006, 08:22 AM

if you liked Half-Life 2 try Half-Life 2 Episode 1, it's $30 and gives you another 5 chapters to play.

Need for Speed Underground 2 is about the best available as far as drifting goes but as for realistic drifting, not really sure if there is anything available in that way.

PH47 · 21-06-2006, 11:08 AM

Drifting wise Forza would probably be up the top once you read some of the online tutorials on how to tweak the car's settings to set it up for drifting..

Eg:

http://faqs.ign.com/articles/631/631022p1.html

For some arcade drifting just get Riiiiiiiiiiidge Racer on X360 :P

forza for the win. possibly the BEST computer game i have played. can drift the entire fujimi kaido downhill. i just love making cars for tracks and the huge amount of mods on every car. engine swaps rule.

i also used to be in the worlds top 8% for battlefield 1942 [vanilla]. but i just fell out of playing it and most other games.

i thought the /pizza command in everquest was the worst thing to happen to gamers everywhere. so people only leaving the game to buy more food now have no reason to leace at all, cos they type /pizza and it brings up the dominoes online ordering facility in-game.

You're joking right? That's just evil!

Remember the thread not too long ago on abandonware. Well that got me back into the old school games. I then started playing Doom and Doom 2 despite the fact the exams were coming up. I've finished them both now so I need to decide on which old-school game to play next!

Battlefield 2
GT4 had it since it was relased, trying to get 100%, up to 86.9%

)
Tourist Throphey - the guys who made GT4 have done a bike one
RE4
New Tomb raider
Call of duty 2
and heaps more I can be bothered typing.

I do have one question, has anyone here played XIII on PS2?? Its strange, but one of the coolest games Ive played, awesome plot too! pity the tight ***** are not making a sequel!
