"Following on from the xbox/ps debate, Keenfucktographer made a good point about console/pc games today not giving you much of a sense of achievement or engagement. I also feel that as most console games are now big budget releases theres little room for innovation or quirkyness. Possibly the only original title I've played recently was Child of Eden, which if you have a kinect you really ought to try. Turn up the volume and Its a brutal yet beautiful assault on the senses. But I think back to the old computers, speccy and commodore, there was a dearth of original material, true some worked and some didn't. But there was a lot more choice. Big business hadn't yet encroached and spoiled it. I'm happy that the smartphone market has brought back some of that originality and quirkyness. Someone at home with a pc has a good idea for a game and can get it out there for minimal outlay. Can't fault it. Anyone else out there long for another Manic Miner? So my fave games of all time, in historical order and agonized over! Intellivision, B17 bomber Atari 2600, Joust Commodore 64. Chiller Spectrum, Pssst! Megadrive, micro machines Playstation, skull monkeys Xbox, Halo. Thoughts/comments?" and no nintendo games in there...this thread SUCKS already lol | |||

"Micro machines was brilliant. The first zelda game on the original Nintendo was brilliant! ( I was 11) But the only game that ever really turned me into a controller weilding hermit was oblivion on the Xbox. I didnt get change to play skyrim much coz I lost the Xbox in the custody battle x " Come and play it on mine... | |||

| |||
"not to mention soul reaver dream cast" I wasn't a huge fan of the game but do remember it featured the voice of the late great Tony Jay, who also voiced Megabyte in ReBoot - now THERE was a voice with some real might behind it. | |||

"Some great games in the Thread. Here's my contribution (some already here some not) All of the Halo franchise love it now collecting the Mega bloks too much to Mrs Noobs consternation. All the DOA franchise have 4 on Xbox and 5 on PS3 Driving games - Forza Motorsport took over from PGR. PGR 1 and 2 where fantastic on the original xbox. we used to play 8 on 2 TV's Total War Medieval 1 with the dark age expansion was my favourite. Much underated but the best boy's night in multiplayer Ghost recon. 4 online splitscreen on 1 Xbox projected onto the lounge wall. We were unbeatable. Best Family games Lego Star Wars and Little Big Planet. 3d games Wipeout on the PS3. This years game and now possibly my all time favourite L.A. Noire. Totally new experience." I agree with Forza & PGR used to love playing those, would get sooo competitive though! & Star Wars Lego, me and my brother just used to mess around on that all the time, like you say good family fun kind of game | |||

" Barbarian, complete with gladiator Wolf on the cover!" Didn't Maria Whittaker also pose on that cover? I doubt she'd have been able to swing her sword very fast with boobs that big - mind though, whoever she was fighting would probably be so distracted that she wouldn't need to. | |||
