Mellie's Random Game Discussion Thread

[DarkMellie]

Hiya, with so many games and platforms I often find myself necro'ing threads just to share my excitement around the latest titles in my disc-drive... I've noticed others too havjng the same kind of ADHD seizures as myself.

This thread is like the random thoughts thread but solely about game related conversation. Played something amazing lately? Post it here. Hate it? Warn us.

Enslaved Oddysey to the West is one of the most delightful games I've played in a while. I hope more devs pick up what it's putting down. I like having an emotional connection to my characters.

i've been revisiting plants vs zombies and am remembering how much fun the game was. trying to get some of the achievements

[Jeatalong]

I've been playing World Of Tanks in between Fallout New Vegas. It is fairly punishing but over pretty good for a beta game. It's a free to play MMO similar to Navy Field but built by Russians.

I've been playing a fair bit of Warhammer 40k (single player) as I realised I've never actually finished it + never tried the expansion. Quite enjoying it though, enemies on difficult settings are bloody brutal!

Jeats: How is World of Tanks? Difficult to pick up?

[D-.]

I remember Black Hawk Down multiplayer... and I actually miss it.

[Jeatalong]

Not difficult if you remember that all tanks are different and it might not be the smartest thing to go toe to toe against a Tiger II tank when you are a light tank.

It's free to play and node has a download link for the client. Go to shattered crystal to get an account for the game.

finished Darksiders the other day, loved it. going to start playing the new Castlevania soon, and waiting for my copy of New Vegas to arrive.

also got Call of Juarez 2 off a friend so i might try play through that sometime this week.

Just finished Costume Quest, the latest Double Fine production. Halloween themed and rather quirky, as is the norm for Double Fine. Very much a casual game, Jap RPG inspired and not too long (it's a digital download on PSN/XBLA) - I've played worse and my son loved it to bits.

Still plugging my way through Demon's Souls - that is an amazing game.

Played a tonne of Alien Swarm on the weekend, was awesome. Got about 11 achievements and moved up from lvl 2 to lvl 20. Also a TF2 hat!

If anyone wants to play I'll probably be on a few nights this week!

Enslaved was a great game but brought down by having poor gameplay

[DarkMellie]

Agreed, but the characters, story and ending more than made up for that to me. Taking it back today to get Fable 3 tomorrow (i hope they break street date). Bit sad that I enjoy the game but am returning it, I wonder if developers understand that when creating linear singleplayer experiences, without them gaming is cheapened, but without SP sandboxes or some form of multi the public won't buy for keepsies.

Just hit 30,001 gamerscore, it's a proud day

I'm on 4795, need to play some more methinks!

Arkham Asylum. I can't belived i waited this long to play it (thank you steam sale)

But also, Oblivion. This is the 3rd time i've attmepted it. Every time i try to play it, it always ends the same way. I start, get really into it, get distracted from the main storyline because of all the other cool things to do, then i aquire a new game and forget about oblivion and never get past saving that martin guy.

Now that i think about its happened again with arkham assylum! Dam it...

I am also playing some Oblivion again. Finished the main quests/fighter's guild/arena/dark brotherhood/thieves guild/most of the daedric shrines so far and just hit lvl 20. It's no Morrowind but my old xbox disc is pretty much screwed, and I don't have it on PC, so Oblivion will have to do

Also trying to get into Minecraft, but mostly just playing 1.6 as always.
