Still no real news... Sleeping Dog's looks like it'll be good

So what are you playing? Playing Tales From Monkey Island and failing to really get into them, they're good but don't have the charisma of the original, sure it tries, but it doesn't hit that sweet spot + I hate the fact you need to use the keys to move around.

  • Still trying to trawl through games what I never got in the first place

    As I just got a ps3 (9 years too late or whatever).

    Wanted to buy the first Assasins Creed for £5 on Tuesday. Took it home and they'd put a later version in the box... bonus!

  • I just got portal 2

    and yeah yeah, everyone else finished it a year ago....blah blah

    it's pretty good. actually quite funny, which I wasn't expecting.

    japes_ | 2 Aug '12, 15:00 | X
    • Portal 1 is one of the funniest games ever

      Portal 2 isn't QUITE as funny but it's still pretty hilarious.

  • there's a risk game on steam for £8

    it has a campaign and a classic multiplayer mode and all those things. should i get it? it seems ridiculous.

    cat_race | 2 Aug '12, 15:03 | X
    • Risk Factions

      Yesiamaduck @cat_race | 2 Aug '12, 15:07 | X
      • yeah that

        played it?

        cat_race @Yesiamaduck | 2 Aug '12, 15:08 | X
        • Appear

          Yesiamaduck @cat_race | 2 Aug '12, 15:09 | X
      • Risk Factions?

        It's pretty good, the campaign probably pulls off the most satisfying board game single players I've ever played, the story mode is actually pretty hilarious.

        It's RISK, you like Risk you'll like this and the new version they've implemented is a nice way to change things up a bit.

        Yesiamaduck @Yesiamaduck | 2 Aug '12, 15:09 | X
        • solid

          • DLing the demo now :)

            twentynine @cat_race | 2 Aug '12, 15:28 | X
            • IF people get this

              and go ahead with DiS games then I may have to re-purchase it as it's most fun in multiplayer, but multiplayer that isn't a FPS with strangers!?!?!? FUCK NO

              Yesiamaduck @twentynine | 2 Aug '12, 15:30 | X
              • i will be getting it either tonight or tomorrow

                cat_race @Yesiamaduck | 2 Aug '12, 15:31 | X
  • Just this second finished 10,000,000 on my phone

    It's a match three style puzzle dungeon crawler for the ios. Nice 8 bit vibe. I highly recommend it.
    Got Asura's Wrath the other day and it is a bat shit as I'd suspected/expected/hoped.

  • batman arkham city

    picked it up cheap finally, loving it

    pretty much given up on ever finishing skyrim

    gaming has gone a bit stale at the moment

    Noblet | 2 Aug '12, 15:12 | X
    • Someone pointed out to me that the only true AAA title to come out this year was Mass Effect 3

      that came out like 8months ago!

      Yesiamaduck @Noblet | 2 Aug '12, 15:13 | X
      • Triple-A: Max Payne 3, no?

        Rock Star are releasing some free DLC for it this week... or next... I think.

    • I constantly kid myself that I will go back and Platinum Skyrim

      I have 88% of the trophies, but the cost to my life was huge

      LordLuciusBanter @Noblet | 2 Aug '12, 15:18 | X
      • I'm working through the Stones of Barenziah

        As I'd collected 3 or 4 on my travels. Ticked off the first 8. Slowly but surely.

        Got Red Dead GOTYE yesterday though, just started playing it :)

        twentynine @LordLuciusBanter | 2 Aug '12, 15:30 | X
        • RDR is one of the best games I've ever played

    • this is never going to happen is it?

      cat_race @cat_race | 2 Aug '12, 15:31 | X
      • I will get it

        I wont be getting Diablo 3 thats for certain, going straight to Torchlight 2 which looks much the same at 1/3rd of the price

        Yesiamaduck @cat_race | 2 Aug '12, 15:55 | X
        • yay! if you do ever get starcraft, please let us play together!

          cat_race @Yesiamaduck | 2 Aug '12, 15:57 | X
  • Been playing Dead Island

    It's not much cop, but with a few mates beating up zombies with big sticks can be quite fun.

    I picked up FM12 during the Steam sale. Big mistake. I thought I'd left the days of sitting around in my underwear conducting imaginary contract negotiations at 2am were behind me..

    I also picked up Botanicula though, which is just lovely. It's barely a game, but it's so beautiful and sweet it's hard to care.

    colossalhorse | 2 Aug '12, 15:34 | X
    • It gets a little more game like towards the end

      but it's so damned engrossing! I click on everything just to see what happens & actually hope to fail just so I can see all the animations! It really brings out the child in me in a way that many games fail to do

      Yesiamaduck @colossalhorse | 2 Aug '12, 15:54 | X
  • replaying 'The Longest Journey'

    while occasionally doing mad amounts of Skyrim sidequests

    mute-branches | 2 Aug '12, 15:39 | X
    • also scouring the Internet for 'Dishonored' trailers

      mute-branches @mute-branches | 2 Aug '12, 15:41 | X
  • Might download that Deadlight game I mentioned last week tonight

    That's about it

    DanielKelly | 2 Aug '12, 16:08 | X
  • This very morning I picked up Viewtiful Joe for £2.

    Got next week off. Will be playing the shit out of a lot of shit. Need to finish Okami and Kingdom Hearts; also got a few other PS2 gems I want to get into (sitting unloved right now: Silent Hill 2, Beyond Good and Evil). Then... well, tempted to play War for Cybertron (again) what with Fall of... out next month.

    Yeah.
    Kinda hope it rains next week so I can just play games.
    (If it wasn't for the whole having-a-wife-and-kid thing, of course.)
