The Gaming Thread

A thread for discussing console games...

[Sid Seadevil]

Amazingly enough I've just today got hold of the Quantum of Solace game for the PS2. I shall report as soon as I've had a chance to have a play with it.

[Johnstone McGuckian]

Let me know. I'm considering getting that for the Wii.

I'm currently (and have been for the past 3 months) addicted to guitar hero. A brilliant game with a really brilliant soundtrack.

I'll certainly let you know. I'm still fighting away at God of War III on the PS2 - have been for ages along with Justice League: Heroes...which is stupidly fun for an old comic fan like me.

[Johnstone McGuckian]

While not a massive comic fan I like the comic games. X-Men legends II is fantastic.

Haven't had a chance to try that yet - it's on the list though.

[Johnstone McGuckian]

Definately worth playing. You get to arrange your own team of characters from both the X-Men and the Brotherhood. I like games with multiple characters helping each other as a team. I still say that Star Wars Battlefront is the best thing ever to hit a console.

[Sid Seadevil]

In that case you'd enjoy Justice League: Heroes. It's pretty straightforward play-wise, but the teaming of the JLA members is fun. Batman/Superman, Flash/Green Lantern Zatanna/Martian Manhunter, etc, etc... definitely fun.

I'll give JL a try sometime, always thought it looked good.

My sister's just bought Wii Play and I have to admit it's addictive. Lots of mini games.

Kate wants the Wii - I can barely manage the PS2!!

Get a wii Sid, it's brilliant. I was sceptical at first but I haven't been near my PS2 since I got it.

Worth every penny plus more if you do decide to get one.

You're doing a good selling job here, youngster. Hang about - you're not on a commission from Nintendo are you?

I have to admit, I'm a very big Nintendo fan at the moment. I think the DS is great too. But no

Kate wants a DS Lite too...probably a pink one...

I feel sorry for your wallet. But Kate has a fantastic taste in gaming

Don't feel sorry for my wallet matey, feel sorry for the months that live in it!

Oh, the humanity!

[Sid Seadevil]

Just spent a vaguely enjoyable half hour being (well, actually pretending to be), Daniel Craig in the Quantum of Solace game. So far it's enjoyable enough as movie tie-ins go. But I really, really do hate "race against the clock "sections - I simply don't have the finger dexterity any more.

[Johnstone McGuckian]

I hate time limits.

The Italian Job: LA Heist is a great game but every level has a pointless and near enough impossible to beat time limit.

I'm chasing a baddie on this time limit level. Through sewers and over rooftops with henchmen jumping out to shoot me. It's bloody near impossible - especially since there's no indication on just how much time you have to do it in!

[Johnstone McGuckian]

Time limits on games are not cool at all.

[Sid Seadevil]

Certainly on cool for games played by ageing, arthritic fingers they're not...

I've been playing Mario Kart Wii for months now and i'm still finding unlockables.
Its SOOOOOOOOO fun on Wi-Fi.

[The Co=Ordinator]

Presumably you've given up on the Golf 'cos an old geezer keeps beating you.
