I expected to hate this game but it's really becoming addictive. Played until dawn without realizing it and took several pics. Amazing level design.

I gotta try that game. I played the first part of it years back on PC and it was an amazing game of that era! smile.gif

Played and finished Limbo today. Eerie, atmospheric game, but only about 2.5 hours to finish:

Great reviews!

It really is a fun/cool game. It starts slow but then BAM! smile.gif It's like crack! I can't put it down! Each level is so well designed and detailed. The dreamlike quality is intense.

Todd, people, YOU SHOULD PLAY DEAD ISLAND IS JUST AMAZING!

Posted by: Sabbz Sep 28 2011, 01:46 AM

Wife and I played the OG on PC years ago. Too bad I don't have my 360 anymore. It's probably available on PC though, still.

I quite enjoyed playing Alice and the crazy twisted mental world inside her head known as wonderland which only American McGee can twist so creatively. Short but surprisingly fun game, I played the pc version also included the very old previous game, still a bit of fun.

Dead island is pretty good too, but actually disappointed a bit with that game. Could of been so much better. A bit on the glitchy side too.

Warhammer 40k is the best game of 2011 I've played, that's a shocker for me as it's not my taste from the previous series.

Can't wait for diablo III however!

GEARS 3 is in my Gamefly Que but has not shown up yet sad.gif I"m jonesing to give it a try! Really looking forward to BATTLEFIELD 3 though more than anything else. A bunch of my mates BATTLEFIELD 2 so squad play gets crazy and we are all stoked for 3. The BETA comes out this week! Woohoo!

ALICE is a really cool game but it can be a major time suck. Recently I've been gaming instead of sleeping as the sleep time is the only time I had to spare. Starting to pay the price though, uggh. Sleep!

Will do smile.gif Have you played the BF3 Beta? It's pretty cool but still waaaay buggy. My Xbox id is RG560.

Here are a couple more stills from Alice, the deeper I get in to this game the more amazing it looks.

...

I have tried couple of times but there's no "wow" effect coming. Maybe because it's early beta. Hopefully final version is better. Now off to play Gears3. cool.gif

That stuff creeps me out. Seems like they want to make a dark side out of everything.

Posted by: Christophe Oct 10 2011, 03:55 PM

I played to BF3 on Xbox 360 all along the week, though it's an Open Beta I think most of the bugs and bad things (such as the indications on the map which are very useless) won't disappear in the release (28th october for Europe sad.gif ).

And I hope "player zoning" will be set, because playing with American people is very unpleasant 'cause they have 30ms ping while I have 250ms... :s

Those graphics looks very cool. I have seen the Wii's alice and it looks similar to Tim Burton's movie. This one looks very different!.

Posted by: The Uncreator Feb 21 2012, 03:07 AM

Amnesia on PC.


That is all.

This one isn't tied to the movie at all. It's a separate thing. Honestly one of the best games I've played. Every detail is thought out, it's immersive, it's spooky, well written, amazing music and visuals, thought provoking. A Masterpiece!

I played it on Xbox 360 but I think it's available on other platforms too. Here is a link to the games web site. Which is also pretty in it's own right.

All the images in this thread look very steampunkish tongue.gif I am staying as far away from PC games as possible though, otherwise it won't be good... laugh.gif

wou! that site and graphics look so bloody! I'm now checking the music and I like it!






Posted by: Todd Simpson Feb 22 2012, 01:46 AM

It's bloody and creepy without being overly slasher filmish about it. Very dark mood throughout the game. I was digging the soundtrack too and each track worked really well during game play. The whole thing comes together in a very unique way.

The whole game is pretty dark. The story line is really quite good and the overall experience is very immsersive. It's never disturbing or offputting, just dark and fun. I'd say get it for a weekend and play it only at night. It's really best when played during the dark hours smile.gif
