I used to play my sons game but he took it when he moved. I've now got my own copy and have had to start from scratch.
I loved the combine harverster, especially when people get in the way!!!
We more mature ladies know how to have fun.
I've also just boughy Liberty City Stories. I'll need to get Arachnid started on that one.

I'll have to buy it first!!!!

Well, I'm still on the first Island, think it'll be a while yet before I can travel further!!!

Will have to get some more money for properties and still a few missions to do yet!!!

I could be doing this till Christmas!!!

I've just finished the racing missions(Wu Zi Mu andFarewell, My Love)
Gosh!! Somehow I managed to do them!!!

Think I must've just got lucky!!!
Thought it would've taken me weeks!!! In the end it only took a few days!!!

Is anyone playing the excellent [WarÂ§ow]?

Its a free first person shooter based on the Quake 'QFusion' engine.

It is a totally free download, very competitive and great fun!
Sadly, I am rubbish at it...

(The download is 73.odd Mb but it is well worth it...)

Downloading just now to give it a bash, probably won't get to play it till sometime during the week though :s

I'm not sure if I can tear myself away from Battlefield 2 to play anything else, ever - ever.

ifstar · Post by **ifstar** » 09 Oct 2006, 10:36

A guy at my work plays Battlefield 2, but is now looking forward to the new one (2142?) and also Quake Wars (which I have seen a clip of and it looks superb).

Been playing Company of Heroes which is pretty good, a real time strategy WW2 based game.

I'm still playing g.t.a.san andreas!!!!

Now in the desert and las venturas!!! I'm getting there slowly!!!
Having a little spot of bother doing " air raid" ( Zero's first mission)

Been trying it off and on for over a week now, think it'll take me forever!!!
Or maybe never!!!

And I'm now learning to fly!!!

So if air raid is anything to go by, there's not much hope for me!!!

I've got 2142 but haven't had time to play it much - been playing some BF2 mods (one turns BF2 into a racing game which is a scream)

Never heard of Quake Wars?

Just started playing Sim City 3000 on the pc. It's fu and annoying at the same time

arachnid · Post by **arachnid** » 04 Nov 2006, 12:08

Finished g.t.a.S.A. then

And here's me still plodding on!!!

Now have my pilot's licence( more like a licence to kill by crashing lots!!!)
To be honest my son did N.O.E. for me, was getting a bit fed up crashing into mountains and trees!!!

Have done stowaway and now trying the black project, so we'll see how long that takes me!!!

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 04 Nov 2006, 13:38

Not finished yet, but have done lots of the Las Venturas missions. My wee chappies a millionaire now!!!!!!!!!

I just love the Tomb Raider games and the GTA games. I'm playing GTA Liberty City Stories at the moment and I think I'm close to opening up the third island.
Mr BM also enjoys Tomb Raider and is currently playing Indiana Jones.

Shouldn't it be this thread you should be on BM???

Anyway, I'm more or less finished G.T.A. San Andreas apart from the odds and ends!!! Knew it would take me till after Christmas!!!

As you know I also love Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones type games so will have to get T.R. Legend sometime soon!!!
Having a go at " Red Dead Revolver" in the meantime!!!( cowboy shootouts! Not sure if I like it or not but will play a bit more and see!!!)

Is GTA the one where you get to drive around Edinburgh?

I'm getting a new PC from Dell delivered on Thursday so I'm starting to think about games. Aside from Football Manager 2007 I've not played any in years.

Is Call of Duty any good?

arachnid · Post by **arachnid** » 23 Jan 2007, 21:10

In San Andreas the " Forth Bridges are in it!!!
Can't remember Edinburgh in any though, but maybe it's one that I haven't played yet!!!
If you like war games with lots of killing etc., you'll like " Call of Duty"!!

Couldn't find it Arachnid!!
Just opened the third island, stopped for the evening now.

Never seen Edinburgh in GTA although there are references to it
ie
a golf course named Leaf links one and as arachnid said the Forth bridges are in another one.

Rockstar the company responsible for GTA are based in Edinburgh.

One of the racing games had Edinburgh in it as a street circuit a couple of years back....name eludes me at the moment though.

Google to the rescue again! Project Gotham Racing 2

Looks like it was just an Xbox, not PC, game though.

Yeah thats a shame. Got Microsoft Flight Simulator, Quake III Gold, Footie Manager 2007 and the soon to be purchased Call of Duty to keep me going though - could be an anti-social weekend

ifstar · Post by **ifstar** » 24 Jan 2007, 13:08

Got a game last weekend called Condemned : Criminal Origins and I have to say it must be the scariest game I have played. It's quite cheap just now as it has been out for about a year but well worth a look if you like that sort of thing. It's a first person shooter where you are hunting a serial killer but you have to collect evidence at crime scenes as you go along.

Eldest son been playing away on X box360.
Came through the other night to find out what all the shouting was about. He was playing against a pal , ? games of war.
He was here in Porty his pal in Tollcross and they're playing and talking back and forth without the aid of the phone!!

I'll stick to the flight of the hamsters

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 25 Jan 2007, 17:09

Opened the third island in GTA Liberty City Stories.
I'm quite enjoying the game. It's fun going round streets youv'e gotten to know before but are doing different missions. I don't know what I'll do when I finish the game though.
I'll need to have a look out there and see what takes my fancy in PS2 games.

What about one of " the hitman" games???

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 25 Jan 2007, 21:45

They're pretty good. The male snakelings are good at those games. I'm not quite so good at them, but last time I pllayed one I gave up to quickly. I think I'd just gotten a new TR game at the time and well, you know..............

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 07 Feb 2007, 18:29

I finished GTA Liberty City Stories a few days ago. I'm now going back and doing some side missions etc, but I'm not too bothered about getting 100% I love doing the rampages and hidden packages but I hate doing the racing.
Anyone played any good games lately they can recommend?
I'm into games like tomb raider & of course gta. I also like things like lego star wars and ratchet & clank (not car racing).

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 07 Feb 2007, 18:52

C&C Generals : Zero Hour. Just starting it.

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 07 Feb 2007, 20:12

I love command and conquer. I've got teberian sun on my pc.
I'm playing about with sim city 4 at the moment, but I do prefer a good playstation game.

Nelson Hatstand · Post by **Nelson Hatstand** » 07 Feb 2007, 20:24

er, Crash Bandicoot 3.

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 07 Feb 2007, 20:29

I played a couple of the crash bandicoot games before. They're good fun They do get frustratingly difficult as they go on though. Worth considering.
