I recommend you to try Planescape: Torment, the best computer RPG right along with Fallout 1-2. BG2 is great too, should install it again since my comp can actually handle it this time.

And I've gotten hooked on Civilization III. Horribly addicting game.
"One more turn, and then I'll go to bed.", yeah right..

I know what you mean man. I love the game but I just can't get into it properly. I always play it for a whle and think to myself "Betrayal at Krondor is a fantastic game. I should play that."

Heh, that's not really outlandish, considering that when the PS1 and the PS2 were first released, their recommended retail prices were around that figure. I remember the PS2 first sold for about $AU700 and I joint bought one with my brother when it was about $AU500 a year-and-a-half later.

The PS3 will be around the same price as the PS2 when it first launched so no biggie there. Plus if the games are anything like the tech demos then the next generation of games will be well worth the price!!

I cant wait!!

And the prices for X-box 360 & PS3 games will be 15 $/£ more expensive than PC games.  :p

I just bought Spider Man 2 for $18 Canadian which is just as cheap as a greatest hits title (but it wasn't) although the game passes rather quickly. I got to Chapter 11 in around 2 hours.

I also bought Alladin Platinum Edition the 2 DVD set for $11.95! I got it as soon as it was marked down from 40 so it was pretty cool to have.

OMG WHAT THE HELL!? I BEAT THE STUPID SPIDER MAN GAME IN 6 HOURS! what a freaking waste! that means I spent 3 dollars an hour on a game! I mean it was really fun for it's length and Bruce Campbell steps it up higher than San Andreas but cmon? 6 hours while San Andreas is a little under 40? I more dissapointed now than I was when I beat Max Payne 1 in 3 days. Hopefully the next game is a little longer.

I said it once and I'll it again! I DON'T WATCH HORROR MOVIES ANYMORE!

And yes I am quite evil, thank you.  :evil  But I was just laughing becuase Rosella sounds really squeaky and funny when she's scared or something.
It has nothing to with me and my plans to enslave the earth!

Okay now I'm even more dissapointed with Spiderman2. After you beat it and the credits roll it says for an extra chapter (which Bruce Campbell claims to be "impossible") the goal of the next chapter is Earn 50, 000 points. you get about 200 for every crime you stop! it's pretty much pulling a big Metal Gear Solid wondering "how do we tack another 8 hours of gameplay to this?" and so instead of adding 8 hours of redundant revolver spinning they add 8 hours of redundant crime stopping. AGH I wish I never overwrote my SanAndreas file so close to the end and decided to go to walmart on mark down day to find a new game to "enjoy" This is by far worse than when I bought Crazy Taxi expecting some changes from the original.

You have no concept of what Evil is.

Disney: that is pure, unadulterated evil.

took almost 5 minutes and the forum doesn't seem to like my art very much as it looks perfect when I type it. Oh well I still love Disney. How can you say Alladdin is evil? with all those sexual innuendos.

Looking through my thousands of GBA games to play and just found Mario Party Advance and Mario Vs Donkey Kong, they both ROCK!!

Any other AAA titles for GBA like these? I've just finished Yoshi's Island (for second time, played in on my SNES about 10 years ago) and NEED some more Nintendo AAA title goodnes.

AAA title = Triple A quality title = Very ******* good!

Vice City rocks as does San Andreas, I never got into GTA3 (most likely because it was stolen/lost) and after playing Vice and San An I cant be bothered to play a simpler version of GTA.

Nearly finished Shadow of Rome, now thats a great game, really fun to play.

oh BIG news going on right now in the emulation scene! Just about every system there is has been emulated for PSP so I cant wait to get my hands on one in September! A memory stick ISO launcher is also on its way out allowing you to copy UMD's to your mem stick then play them! You always knew the hackers would get there in the end! (Well I did lol).

The DS scene is kicking off too with a few DS emulators progressing to play commercial DS games and even the offical DS emulator by Nintendo has been leaked onto the net from a development kit, ooops!!

Exciting times we live in folks!

Oh and Brooms, check out the rundown of Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 I gotta kick your ass online with this version! In the meantime let me kick your ass on the current version!!!

Thats my gamez scene wrap up for today, join me same time, next time for more scene newz!!!

I do have San Andreas, but I've only played it a little, I really would like to finish Vice City first.
