[bobs]

PC

Steam...

Too old to have as much time as I used to...

MW2, CSS, BF1942,BFVietnam(get to the chopper!)>Badcompany, HL2, Farm Simulator 2010 (hahah) etc...

Played a bit of CSS recently, man, I'm too old for this now.

Well I USED to be a big PS3 fanboy, until PSN FAILED massively and left all the PSN users in the lurch, not knowing whether i'd have my bank details cloned etc etc.


I'v not touched the PS3 since it all melted down and i'm seriously debating whether i'd want to go back to a service thats clearly so inadequate and gives such little consideration to its users.

Never been a fan of PC gaming. Too much to go wrong and too expensive to get right. Plus using a mouse and keyboard is a proper pain in the arse.

When I can actually play, I love a bit of Fifa, and of course COD.

Can't wait for LA Noir to come out. Only problem is, the release date is smack bang in the middle of my uni finals That could spell and end to getting a good degree

I agree here. I used to really enjoy ps3 online: free to play, as it should be. But this latest fiasco, along with how they treat(ed) Geohot/failoverflow just makes me see the company in a different light. Plus how MS supports people hacking/modding the kinect/xbox and develop a community, well... I know who's side I'll come down on in the next console wars.

I'll most likely stick to PC gaming in the future, I prefer it, except for the cost and the way we are being overshadowed by 'casual consoles'.

Currently playing WoW mainly, and dabble in eve now and again, Team Fortress 2, Dawn of War II, Alien Swarm, Bad Co. 2, Dead Space 2.... all sorts.

Anyone here played/owned Test Drive Unlimited 1 or 2?

yh m8 testdrive on 360 pretty good to be honest

[vincent300]

can't wait for battlefield 3 to come out, that is gonna be sweeet.

Anyone here played/owned Test Drive Unlimited 1 or 2?

1 is good although feeling dated now.

2 has shoddy vehicle handling and has first person elements, meaning that if you go into a showroom or whatever, you have to move your character around. Some people like this but I found it a pain because walking around is slower than scrolling through a menu. Voice acting is atrocious so giving the game a storyline with characters seems even worse. They should have kept it simple like the first one and focused on the driving mechanics. I wouldn't buy it if I was you.


I should be upgrading my PC soon. I get paid next week so I'll have the money. Currently running a dual core Phenom II so it's seriously lacking there, recently upgraded RAM to 6gb so I'm alright there and the graphics card is a 4870, so it's decent but could do with an upgrade. I might just buy a new mobo and CPU (thinking an i5 2500k?) and then do the graphics card later if it needs it. I just want to be able to run BF3 on max settings smoothly when it comes out, cannot wait for it.

yeah bf3 is gonna be pretty graphics intensive. You might struggle to run it max with a 4870, I have a 4890 and I have my doubts. I run an phenom at the moment (AMD Phenom II x4 955 3.20ghz). You might want to thing about upgrading to what i have, they are pretty cheap and are really quite powerful, great overclocking potential. You might not even need to upgrade your mobo, subject to your mobo having AM3 socket support. Then you can use the money which you were going to use on a mobo, on a new graphics card.

Xbox for me.

[Tealer]

Xbox. I had a PS3, but the damn thing decided to cook it's own guts. Also, retro games. I have emulators on my iPod, my netbook and my android phone.

[AlexMozza]

Its all about Counter Strike Used to play it proffesinally a few years back!

[flatline]

Resurrecting this thread to see whos playing BF3

[Black.Ghost]

I use the PS3 every now and then, but haven't got BF3. Or 2. Or 1. I got MW3 for Xmas, and its still in its wrapper I'm playing MW2 at the moment (not right this second, but thats what is in there).

Anyone getting the Vita when it comes out? I was considering it but I'd rather get a decent camera I think instead.
