Back to playing Geometry Wars 2 - DAMN that game is fun. I'm trying to get over 1million points on the WAVES mode, those mean blue squares always push me out of position and straight into a triangle. I haven't figured out the best way around that yet! I love it though, pure gaming at it's best.

Stalker - Call of Pripyat.

I'm finding it abit boring and unengaging, to be honest.

Play it harder No really: you should persist.

I liked CoP, except for the very poor voice over work. The world is sufficiently dangerous and rich to really get into it. As you progress the missions become gradually more involved which is a big improvement over the first two which had very basic tasks involving "going somewhere next". The only thing I didn't like is that you don't get to visit some of the old locations, like going back to the reactor even though you get to go to Pripyat.

Some random script blocking bugs though, so use two saves alternating on missions where you play with NPCs.

Been playing through Beast 1&2 quite a few times, while listening to Youtube videos and such in the background... they're such short games and I don't seem to grow sick of them easily.
I've played through Beast 3 as well, but not as much... I really like it, but it doesn't feel so much like a Beast game to me.
Regarding Beast 3, I've been practicing slider puzzles quite a bit, looked up some strategies online as well... was so sick of struggling with that slider puzzle in Beast 3, now I can finally solve it reasonably quickly (I know it's not strictly necessary, but I'm a bit of a completionist ).

I've also been playing Super Shadow of the Beast (SNES), but I've only finished that game two times, and that was years ago... so I'm struggling a bit with it now.
I think it's actually harder than the Amiga one, unless you use the continues.

EDIT - I'm planning to play Super Metroid next, looking forwards to that... just want to 'practice' Super Shadow of the Beast a bit more first.

Finished AssCreed: Revelations and now I'm thoroughly enjoying the Witcher 2. Too bad it has so many invisible walls though.

That is hilarious!

Playing Skyrim yet again myself. With another expansion already around the corner I decided it was time to purchase Dawnguard and give the werewolf/vampire life a try

It must be a good game because I keep going back to it. Yet I don't find it half as good as Morrowind. A strange phenomenon.

Is this it Dave? I might have to purchase a copy.............

Does it work with a multitap?

I have speed ball on my phone but the controls are a bit difficult.
