# I don't think I've even played any of the games you do.
You'll have to do an Oblivion on to appease me:P

# this
or perhaps Mass Effect, which I am currently loving in a big way...

# Have they released teh add on pack for PC version yet? NO. And I refuse to dig out my 360 version, as I dont have a save game that will let me access the new bits without replaying the thing.....

# On the 360 version myself...
First run through - only discovered it a couple of weeks back. Being all goody goody at the moment but can't wait to go through it again just being a complete fascist!

# hehehe, yeah, I've yet to run through as the "bad" guy sort....
still... Might try it in a little while after I've completed STALKER: SoC again

# Having played both through once each
and then messed about with them,

Stalker: SoC is (I reckon) the better game. More immersive.

I enjoyed the plot of MassEffect, but that wouln't change measurably on another play-through, despite the various unlockable bonussy things and challenges. And it massively fucked me off that they made lovely characters, a great plot, a variety of good alien races with decent back-stories and 39 land-on-able planets, and then populated those planets with exactly 3 duifferent building floor plans, all of them human.

# that is very VERY true... hopefully this will be fixed with the two sequels

# This month's PCZone promises a review of the Stalker prequel next month
I am literally beside myself with anticipation.
Literally as in th following diagram, where X represents not-me and 8 represents me.

# really? well I gotta grab that then... They better include a freeplay mode this time!
(I helped save b3ta! theoriginalsteve <this space intentionally left blank>, Mon 21 Jul 2008, 15:42, archived)
# indeed.
If you could finish the original then carry on freeplaying it would have been tits-out awesome.

I realise that some of the various endings wouln't have allowed that, but still it'd have been ace.

I bet I'll have to upgrade my PC again though.

# heheheh, yup :D
The other thing I wanted, was to be able to actually join any faction, not just do a few missions for them... Although I guess joining Monolith might have created some storyline issues....

# I have Oblivion.
I'm waiting to experience a boredom greater than that of playing it before I once again put it in my 360.

It's the incredible detail I love about it and your bike is a girls bike!

# I played Ultima Underworld before I played Oblivion.
And by comparison: Oblivion is dull.

# Play Mario Galaxy
and if you already have, play it again!

# No.
It's a silly game on a silly console with a silly name.

# Elite!
They should have stopped making games after that!

# have a look at "Freelancer"

# Does it have vector graphics?
(I helped save b3ta! riverghost servicing your mum since, Mon 21 Jul 2008, 14:45, archived)
# nope, but it is a hark back to tteh days of elite, but MODERNER!
its getting on a bit, but runs perfectly on xp and vista...

# I wish they'd released an expansion for Freelancer.
You could tell they were planning for playable capital ships :D

# Freelancer was fantastic
but I could never get around the 'race' mission. I hate anything that is time dependent and usually fail. It's unfair to spoil a game by making early parts of it too difficult for players who want fun.

Without a doubt the best space trading/ battle game in the universe is X3-Reunion which is everything that Elite would have become without the bitchy legal battles that killed it off.

# well, there are no offical expansions, but Freelancer Discovery mod was AMAZING
makes the game quite a bit more difficult, but the extra stuff is astounding!

# I agree the console is silly
but it is a wonderful game that everyone should enjoy. Borrow one if you have to.

# actually its a damnably good game
the platform design is ingenius
