been playing Batman Arkham Asylum. Really nice beat em up in the traditional style, with dozens of secrets and quite an advanced combat system. It ain't mash the button, you really need your wits and some good reflexes to get out of the larger fights. And sometimes a more stealthy patient approach is necessary. Love it!

I search a Formula One Manager called Formula One Challenge from Amivision.I can´t find a Download Mirror. I found the Game on http://hol.abime.net but i can´t download. Can you help me???

OMG, it's the greatest Batman game EVER created!
I had so much fun playing it and getting 100% of Riddler's secrets I almost envy you that you will experience it as new.
And trust me, it's not just a beatemup, I installed it for the first time and almost (battle)cried at the first battle in the prison, thinking it's just a beatemup and getting pissed at the devs...
But then gave it a chance and... it's truly an awesome game.
So is Arkham City BTW.

Well I already had the poison ivy battle behind me when I posted, I know the game front to back I should have said it differently: its not a traditional beat em up, but the fighting sequences do make me think back to the good ol' days of Final Fight though.

I don't think I'll go for the 100% though, I can remember plenty of secret spots I couldn't get when I first passed them but I'm not going out of my way to find them again. Even though there are plenty of secrets, the reward is not really all that great. Hey, you have to find something to moan about in a game

Arkham City is going on the todo list, that's for sure.

Saints Row 2.

Aw man, that game is seriously broken on the PC. You actually need to run an unofficial patch to slow it down as it was developed with the exact speed of an XBox 360 in mind; if your pc is faster, the game is faster :/ In my case: waaaay faster. Must be the most horrible port I've seen yet. But, its fun nonetheless once you get it to the right speed and you get used to the idiotic controls...

having a go of DAYZ an arma2 mod,its very good for an alpha release.

Just finished Borderlands, and I was left with the impression that it should have been named Boredomlands instead. What an uninspired tech demo of a game.

Going through Area 51. Low production values, mediocre graphics and average audio almost turned me off, but after working my way through it, I'm pleasantly surprised at how fun this game has become. Love the intense firefights, the creativity of some of the levels, and weird conspiracy theory references!

Miggy: Subwar 2050. Did a review of this game for Amibay and now addicted to it!

Diablo 3 !

.. but, it starts to get boring a bit, affter 200+ hours

Still also playing Heroes of might and magic 3.5 (W.O.G.) almost everyday.

Also playing again Asheron's call, old but still great MMORPG.


These are the 3 games i really play on a daily basis at the moment. Today i also played a bit of Mass Effect 3, but somehow i find that one boring affter a while. The first one was and probably will stay the best, for me anyway.

I too think the first one is the best...in fact, I think it is one of the best games I have ever played. The sequel was an enormous let down, in my opinion.

Still haven't played the third. What are your thoughts?

You have to play it coop to really appreciate it. Borderlands 2 is going to be much better content-wise.

[Gunbot]

Lunar Legend on GBA emulator for Android. I miss all of those old Working Designs (Game Arts) games.

[gimbal]

Been playing Lego Harry Potter years 5-7. Yes, I don't know why but I love these games. There is just so much gameplay in there, even if it is simplified so younger kids can also play it. Mostly the same formula as the first one (although some effort has been made to take out repetitive tasks), with two notable exceptions:

- the game is localized and I see no way to switch it to English
- the effing program doesn't remember your key bindings

Other than those two minor annoyances its really fun, the Lego humor blends quite will with the darker undertone of the later books / movies. Some concessions have been made however, certain key parts of the story are just entirely not in there.

Can't wait for Lego LOTR! That one is going to be epic.

Been playing Super Metroid emulated. One of the greatest games ever. I don't have much time so I switched between my xbox and my psp to play it on those. I had this awesome idea to copy my sram savestate file back and forth and it works like a charm! How cool is that?

I've also been playing Zelda Link's Awakening (original non color version) on my vintage GBC. I just press left and B on bootup to switch it to black and white mode. The game is incredibly big for a Gameboy title! There's many fun items and plenty of dungeons! I am almost through but then I will be Zelda'd out for a while, even though there's still Minish Cap on the GBA and Skyward Sword on the Wii to be played at some point in the distant future.

Minish Cap is fun, but it was made by Capcom in stead of Nintendo in-house so there is quite a different feel to the game than what you'll be used to.

Aliens VS Predator.

The game is seriously hampered because of the worst AI I have seen in a long time. But still... after about an hour I was having the old Alien VS Predator 2 experience anyway. Heart in my throat, forgetting there is a world around me...

Not as bad as people seem to think it is and for a couple of bucks/euros, its not a bad buy at all.

[Thorham]

Torchlight... with a certain mod I've concocted...

[SWIV]

Xenon 2 (MD),Robo Eleste and Dungeon Master II (Sega CD) stella Assault (32X) also some homebrew games on the Zx Spectrum

But this one is truly the best. Who would have thought a Nintendo game could be so violent and full of toilet humor

[gimbal]

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

They really do keep getting better don't they? Not minor improvements either, Brotherhood actually takes the old concept and wraps it into a more gripping and varied storytelling experience. Exactly that which AssCreed 2 was sorely missing. Love it!

[jimbob]

Ugh!

Never heard of it before, just a random pick out of AGlaunch. I'm totally charmed by this game. Nice graphics and music, funny characters, fantastic controls. Is there a game with better inertia? I hate it when the old guys fall in the water, they can't swim NOOOOooooooooooooo..............

Hope I run out of levels before it gets too old or too hard.

[lordofchaos]

I Have been playing Dixons "Six Shooter" pack for the C64...Terra Cresta and Wizball mostly..Modern games wise it's been Skyrim and Minecraft.

Hexen 95 on old Thinkpad 380XD. Higher resolution, sound drivers for Windows, good fun.

If you want my two cents on mass effect 3...Didn't absorbed me as much as the first two did, by the end I was struggling to find the will power to keep playing. The games certainly not bad by any stretch but I feel slightly let down and disappointed with Biowares choice to over streamline things, the RPG element seems to have lessened with each chapter, relies too heavily on set pieces and linear exploration.. At least the first one had the Mako for exploring the planets.

The first game really impressed me, perhaps the pacing was a little too slow for some of the younger gamers but I really liked it. Exploring the planets was good fun too and kind of reminded me of what a next Gen Elite game could look like (sort of) but alas the game become a victim of its own success and eventually tried to pander to everybody, leaving us with a pretty generic gaming experience...Ok where was I? Where's my Elite 4?!

It is totally outrageous If I remember it correctly it was set to be a family game, but I think Rare got a bit sidetracked hehe

They should make more of those games, there is a certain satisfaction in successfully clubbing someone and then see them to crash royally.

I was playing L.A. Noire but... the game just sucks :/ The facial animations are quite cool of course and it has that wicked L.A. Confidential vibe, but as a game it falls really flat and it feels like the entire thing is on rails. Yuck!
