NEXT GEN CONSOLES

[rhysieg]

but yeah, on your first points, its the same with fifa. the ball will take a rick o'shea off the defender and i'll have already pressed 'a' to tackle. but suddenly im one on one with the goalie and i pass it out for a bye kick. there should be a cancel button for things like this

[rhysieg]

oh and ive nearly got my 5th platinum. resident evil 5 this time.

[ampersand]

im 100% positive there is, i dont own fifa but was playing round my mates and your exact example happened, he told me the cancel button but ive forgot it, its either L2, R2 or both of them at the same time.

Not wishing to bring the whole 18 debate back up but this one is hilarious

Four ecstasy pills have been found inside a computer game bought at a High Street store.

Richard Thornhill, 34, found the drugs under the front cover of X-Box game Grand Theft Auto IV, which he bought from Gamestation in Cheltenham.

Mr Thornhill said: "What made me feel the most distraught was the fact we let our 12-year-old play the game."

omg mate i'm going to have to ask you. DO YOU HAVE A LIFE. lol i'v nearly got my second and i'v noticed that i don't have a life anymore

[WS_Jack_III]

lol i just have alot of spare time at the minute. ive broke up from college for the easter holidays (im 17 you see) and yes i can confirm i do have a life im off out up town tonight infact. its just because gaming is my favourite hobby, and im brilliant at it

These are the games I've been playing most recently.

Burnout Paradise - Incredible. Only fault with it is I can't stand the stunt runs. I love the car challenges, takedown events and races, but the stunt challenges aren't much fun (do some spins and jumps and other pointless shit for some points - yay! *snore*). Also, like Guitar Hero, it's incredibly difficult to do anything worthwhile if I'm anything less than 100% awake while playing it.

Dead Space - amazing. So immersive and clever. The cues it takes from the likes of Event Horizon, The Thing and Alien are spot on. This is the new daddy of survival horror.

GTA Lost And Damned - even better than the main game involving Niko. Some of the best scriptwriting in a videogame and they've cranked up the fun bits of GTA4 while getting rid of the chore-like bits.

Final Fantasy III (DS) - A little bit too hardcore and old school. Was epic in it's day but pretty dated by modern standards. I've yet to play an old school game which still feels competitive with modern stuff - besides Super Mario titles which have easily aged the best out of all games.

GTA: Chinatown Wars - best game on the DS alongside Mario Kart and New Mario Bros, easily. It's more cartoony like GTAIII crossed with the original GTA, but has aspects of all the GTA's thrown together along with unique DS-touchscreen bells and whistles.

I'm hooked on Socom, nice playing with all my clan mates again. The game I'm still iffy on, it's good fun but the map design is just poor compared to what Zipper used to make. Really hope they show some more invention in the eventual DLC, or failing that, give us some of Socom 2's map design genius.

Will get into Dead Space once I go back to uni me thinks. Got back into Wipeout HD but am struggling to enjoy Phantom at the moment, and Burn Zombie Burn is just meh...

Guitar Hero World Tour or Rock Band? Probably going to buy one tomorrow and need to decide on what one...

[WS_Jack_III]

i feel that there may not be much difference. look at the track list and decide i say. youll probably end up with both anyway, like i want.

if youre going to get the whole band set, get world tour. drums look well better.

ah so you have just done GCSE's then. if you are doing A levels next year wave bye bye to alot of that time.

[WS_Jack_III]

yep i start A levels in september, i hope its not as tough as people make out.

[jammy2211]

I played games alot and had no problems with A Levels, remember playing a clan matches before two Phyiscs exams the next day .

(I got 92% and 91% in those exams )

what subjects you doing? put it this way you will struggle if you game as me which you do about 3 time more than me

[WS_Jack_III]

im not 100% yet, ive got a connexions meeting booked to advise me. im currently doing maths, english and key skills.

[rhysieg]

i do english language and the A level coursework takes alot of time. What the hell is key skills may i ask

[WS_Jack_III]

its crap. theres 3 parts to it. one lesson is basically I.T, then another lesson is about working with others and then the other lesson is improving your own learning (basically tell us how to revise) its equivalent to 1 gcse i think.

[rhysieg]

if its crap why do you do it? do you have to? and i have to ask how the hell could you be bothered with COD:WAW vet?

[WS_Jack_III]

well i dont have to do it no, but im nearly finished so im not just going to drop out of it. and it took me alot of time that is the harshest run through of a game ever, so tough but i got a great buzz when i actually finished it.

[Purple Monkey]

i heard that the Rock band drums last longer than Guitar hero ones. thats all i know lol

[rhysieg]

Hardly. My brother has Rock Band and the foot pedal went, as in, it snapped in two. It's made of really brittle shitty plastic. Guitar Hero's cymbals are a bit insensitive at times but at least the foot pedal is made of more flexible plastic and the kit in general holds up to some real punishment.
