I didn't realise there wasn't a "what have you played" thread for modern machines so I better start one.

Post away people

I've played Lords of Midnight on iPad and watched my son playing Skylanders Giants.

Only modern game I played today was Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. I found it in the bargain bin for next to nothing so I picked it up and it's not bad. Gameplay isn't anything new but it's still kinda fun and it has a great story.

I thought that was a fun game too.  It mixed up action, puzzles and platforming really nicely.  Great characters in a vibrant world and now it can be picked really cheaply there's no excuse not to play it!

Played episode 1 of the Walking Dead series. Nearly completed it.

What do you think about it so far?

Finally going to play this. I remember the previews on G4's X-Play and I thought who would make such a game!

Well, naughty is one word for it!  LOL

Played a bit of Retro City Rampage, loving it so far.

I have been playing Mad World this afternoon.

Took me ages to get the hang of the controls, especially holding and operating 2 controllers at once!

But now I have I love it! The game is just so violent its untrue and some of the deaths are insane!!! 

If I ever pick up a Wii or a Wii U Mad World will be one of the first games I get. Love the look of the game.

Today I played the following Wii games:

Cruis'n
Red Steel
Alien Syndrome

Been playing (and just completed) Spec Op's:The Line on 360 past few days.

Mixed feelings, technically, very good, loved enviromental factors (use of sand, sandstorms coming in etc), solid few days play, nice to see Nolan North getting more work :-) and at times game did make me question what i was doing, whole 'moral issue of war' mixed with just WTF is going on? stuff.

However, like Max Payne 3, it became a stage clearing slog as troops arrived in en mass, clear, move, cut scene stuff using game engine, more troops arrive etc.

And, whilst i can appreciate it's trying to portray the horrors of war, like Homefront, i did'nt enjoy the stages where people are set on fire by W.P weapons, but also, the option to execute wounded troops crawling on the ground (press B to execute), just found crass and distasteful.

It lost any impact as it was B to execute, X to collect this, A to take cover etc, your actions being boiled down to a simple button press.

And yet again it's another modern day game that once completed, i'll never replay and will be forgotten in weeks, let alone years by myself.

15 mins of Rush 'n' Attack on XBLA when I got home from work.  I still haven't rescued the prisoners despite many years of trying!

I have been playing Dream Pinball and Red Steel on the Wii.

I am really getting into Red Steel now, I have got through to the 3rd scenario. It took me a while to get used to the controls but they are second nature now. I have to say for the £3 I paid for this I am well pleased, especially as I previously knew nothing about it. It's probably not the type of game I would usually play either being that it is so modern in style. I guess there is hope for me yet!

Chewing through Dead Space 3, about 35% done now, and my initial view at first was to compare with Dead Space 2 and in a way it is, this time, it's more of a search and clean mission style gameplay, now there is scares in there too, so they haven't let us down on that, graphics in places are brilliant, but also in some areas, very basic for a game like this in 2013. I love the Dead Space games and am glad they did this, but it's lost abit of it's killer charm it once had, but still a good game none the less and as a Dead Space fan, they haven't really let me down, well just a little bit.

The downsides, that new bench interface and making weapons and improvements , what aload of time wasting ballock!, when you take down enemies, they drop in lu of ammo these scrap metals components and other material you need to collect in order to improve your standard weapon, and if you don't have enough material, your stuck with what weaker weapons your using, but dlc is here to save the day  :)

Just started on GUN on PSP-have on Xbox as well, but had'nt tried either properly and lent Xbox ver.out to a mate, so cracked on.Took a while to get used to controls, but now?loving it!.

Far more my type of western game than Red Dead Redemp. but then i loved Red Dead rev.on Xbox, which Rockstar just took and finished off from Capcom.

Sine Mora's Challenge missions are incredibly addictive. Insane difficulty shmup mini games. FUN!

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (PC).

Ohmigod is this game fantastic! Impressive already on the consoles but the locked 60 fps and otherwise enhanced visual loveliness of the PC version all in 1080p takes it to a new level of awesomeness.

Stunning.

This afternoon I played a bit of Worms: A Space Oddity on the Wii but it took me so long to get used to the controls I got a bit pissed off and gave up. Will come back to it another time.

Then I stuck on Medal Of Honour Heroes 2 and started playing through the arcade mode. This is bloody brilliant as it plays more like a light gun game, the Wii controls the camera and all you have to do is shoot. There are little bits where you grab extra weapons too like a bazooka and a sniper rival in order to take out specific targets. I got up to the 4th mission and my arm was aching a bit so I saved it for another time, I will deffo be coming back to this!

The awesome Sturmwind most of the afternoon.

Doesn't matter it's homebrew

Now go away and stop showing off!  >:(

lol, Daddy i am going to work in a min.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (PC)
An already great console game that's even nicer on PC. Fabulous.  :)

Zen Pinball 2 (Wii U) -
As above plus I've now since purchased the Marvel Originals 4-pack too. The Spider-man table is cool and the Wolverine table is superb. Not played the other two tables yet.

First time I've had a chance to do much gaming in a while. Had about an hour or so each on Red Faction Armageddon and FEAR 3. FEAR 3 is actually pretty decent - cover works really well, which I haven't always found to be the case in FPSs. Enemies are, typically for this series, a bit more inclined to out-manoeuvre you than in most shooters, and the maps are usually more than just corridors.

This afternoon I got round to playing Dead Rising: Chop Until You Drop on Wii. Despite being a bit of spaz and spending forever trying to figure out where to go and what to do I did end up having a lot of fun with this and completed the first few missions. My biggest problem was that I spent far too long just killing zombies when i should have been saving people  ;D

Router has been busy to the tune of 200gb this month for my PS3
Skyrim, LBP Karting, Trine 2, Saints Row 3, Doom 3, DMC etc etc
Other than that I've missed playing Settlers, so I signed upto The Settlers Online....ahh 2D Settlers, so much better than the 3D versions.

Had a little Wii session today between packing boxes for my move:

Excite Truck - I was initially put off by this game because it made me complete a series of annoying tutorials and it uses motion control to steer but I am glad I stuck at it because boy is this game fun! I am quickly finding out that driving games are a real strong point for the Wii, all the ones I have played so far have been excellent. The thing I loved most about this game is that you are actually awarded for crashing!

Heat Seeker - I had never actually heard of this before I saw it on a shelf but I am really glad I gave it a try. It's a mission based shooter with overtones of Afterburner by Codemasters. You use the Wiimote to control the plane on the screen rather than the nunchuck and I was surprised just how well this worked! It's not the best looking Wii game out there but this is a real slice of old-school arcade action with a modern twist that is incredibly enjoyable to play.

Oh I nearly forgot, I had a little session yesterday too:

King Of Pool -  I love pool games so I was excited to play this. At first I found it very tough to play as the tutorial is complete shite and really doesn't help much. After fiddling about with the controls myself I found how to switch to overhead views to take shots and it became a lot easier. It looks really rough but for a game of this type that isn't that important really I suppose. Pretty good fun anyway and I am sure I will enjoy it even more in 2-player.

Land Rover Ford Off-Road - I read that this game was not well received and I saw it called a rubbish Excite Truck rip-off but now I have played Nintendo's title I can safely say it isn't at all. Apart from both being racing games they really are quite different. This game is a serious racing game with real vehicles where you need to earn money to upgrade your ride. Graphically the game is brilliant but boy is the sound bloody awful! Despite the many mediocre reviews I read I thought this game was pretty good.

Did another 2 hours on Lollipop Chainsaw and then dipped back into Suikoden 2 (grinding at the mo) and now firmly rooted in Two Worlds 2: Pirates of the Flying Fortress

Did another 2 hours on Lollipop Chainsaw and then dipped back into Suikoden 2 (grinding at the mo) and now firmly rooted in Two Worlds 2: Pirates of the Flying Fortress

Wow, someone else likes Two Worlds 2! Never did try the expansion but really enjoyed the main game.

Suffering through Hyperdimension Neptunia on PS3. Still picture/visual novel JRPG filled with cutesy anime girls. Story is interrupted by small dungeons overloaded with random enemy encounters. Horrible.

BUT the story is about Neptunia, a console goddess who has been banished from the heavens by goddesses that represent Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. She has to fight back to her former glory. The 'Summon' attacks are called using Game Discs that trigger attack animations with characters licensed from old Sega games.

The storyline and fan service deserved better than this lame RPG. The gameplay is supposed to be much better in the sequel(s) though.

More a case of: 'So far this week':

Hydro Thunder Hurricane, 360-Online, but suffered the blight of 'Rage quitters', each time host lost to myself or i'd be 2nd, he/ was 3rd, they quit the game.Happened 3 times, 3 different hosts.

Pinball FX 2 360, had crack at beating my highscore on the Blade table, job done.

Too Human 360-Not as bad as some reviewers made out, had long development cycle (4 CD PS1 game, then Game Cube, finally 360), but clearly meant to be played as a 4-Player co-op affair, which was a feature planned, but left out in final game.

Apache Air Assault PS3, returned to (hoping the audio drop out bug had been patched, it had'nt) but i did crack the mission i was stuck on, did another 2, before hitting a brick wall.

Blur PS3, PS3 decided to connect to Home Hub, spent hr or so online with this old fav.delighted to see servers still active.

Going to be trying Journey PS3 again, now PS3 has connected, but due to the issues between it+BT hub (timing out) it's taken 90 mins to DL a tiny patch, lol.

Played a bit of Driver:San Francisco today, forgot how fun this game is teleporting to different cars is such a great idea and the dialogue is brilliant

Did another 2 hours on Lollipop Chainsaw and then dipped back into Suikoden 2 (grinding at the mo) and now firmly rooted in Two Worlds 2: Pirates of the Flying Fortress

Wow, someone else likes Two Worlds 2! Never did try the expansion but really enjoyed the main game.

Dude, I really liked the original so this one rocked my socks off lol
And the expansion, get it lol It is a separate campaign of sorts but is big, adds loads (also patches the game apparently) and damned good fun!

Did another 2 hours on Lollipop Chainsaw and then dipped back into Suikoden 2 (grinding at the mo) and now firmly rooted in Two Worlds 2: Pirates of the Flying Fortress :)

Took a bit of break from the packing today as I am well ahead of myself so I spent the afternoon with my Wii and played the following games:

WWE '13
No More Heroes
Link's Crossbow Training
Ghostbusters
Dead Rising

You know what they say, play with your Wii too much and you'll go blind! 

Tried the Dead Space3 demo.P3, seems even dumber than i feared.

in a 1 level level i saw they'd upped the number of human foes, had put in a Rogue Trooper-esq cover system, i'd taken part in a QTE sequence and despatched numerous Necromorphs who just minced towards me, ohh and 1 big creature that just pranced about a bit, not bothering to attack or do much.


Playing on normal, just zero feeling of fear or suspense.

One for the £10 or under pile.

Over the last few days I have played the following Wii games:

WWE '13
Dead Rising
Far Cry Vengeance
Need For Speed Carbon
No More Heroes

Spent past  few days on Warhammer 40,000:Space Marine on 360.

Whilst i was never into the figures, etc, have loved the games based around the setting, be it Space Crusade on 16 Bits, later PSone, the PSP RTS and now this.

Found that whilst it 'borrowed' ideas from so many games, it handled itself very well and i finally completed it this afternoon.

Off to try Halo 4 now.

Played Just Cause 2 a lot more today. Can't get enough of this game.

Played some Wii games over the weekend:

Dream Pinball
Need For Speed Pro Street
Ghost Squad
WWE 13
Namco Museum Remix

Finished Halo 4 on 360 (nice, but Reach the far better Halo game, plot here went a little too 'Mass Effect 2' for my liking, espically closing chapters!).

Had a look at what games i'd deleted on my PS3 HDD and re-downloaded:

Impossible Mission (Mini), tried the reboot version, awful, but could'nt get back into the orig, guess played too much of on C64 at the time.

Astro Tripper (PSN), old-ish PC game converted, nice little trippy/reflex shoot-em-up, but found time limit too restrective, so did'nt stick with it.

Rampart -Loved this on Lynx, used to play for hours, again, just did'nt stay with it for long as felt 'over-familar'

Alien Breed. not a patch on the Amiga originals, was going fine till game crashed whilst trying to load in new level.

Started playing the Zen Pinball 2 Star Wars DLC pack on PS3 tonight. Still learning the rules for the three tables but the ESB table is my favorite so far. Multi-stage missions with checkpoints, stacking multiball modes, and lots of pop-up figures/targets moving around on the table. Definitely video pinball and not much realism, but plenty of Star Wars fun.

Astro Tripper (PSN), old-ish PC game converted, nice little trippy/reflex shoot-em-up, but found time limit too restrective, so did'nt stick with it.

I really like Astro Tripper. One of my favorite PS3 games. Pom Pom also released Alien Zombie Megadeath for PS3 and the Alien Zombie Death mini. They're similar to Astro Tripper with frantic gameplay and a multiplier scoring system, but played in a Bubble Bobble-ish platformer. And, I don't think the missions have any time limits.

I played a couple of hours on Transformers Fall Of Cybertron last night, absolutely fantastic game! It kind of uses the Energon/Prime cartoon show character models and story arcs. though the War For Cybertron and Fall Of Cybertron are intended to be parts of a trilogy leading up to when the Transformers leave Cybertron and come to Earth. I've just played the first two decepticon campaign missions and have been playing as members of the combaticons. I recently unlocked a "Retro Blaster" which basically looks like your carrying the Gen 1 pistol form of Megatron and it sounds just like it too and even when ur enemies die it looks like it would in Gen 1. It is TRULY awesome lol

Not today but last night I played Gravity Rush on my Vita.
Very unique game with a really cool art style and comic book type cut scenes.
It was also free for PS+ members  Highly recommend.

Fired up the PS2:

Killer 7, nice to see a 60 HZ option (and ahh good old Renderware, where would the PS2 be with out it), love the look/style of the game, but as to W.T.F is going on or what i'm supposed to do, pfffffhhh. I'll have to come back to this 1. LOL.


SOS:The Final Escape (low budget game?) Hmmn.Curios little game, must admit love the setting, a true survival game for once, F**Ked up my 1st rescue attempt though, lass stuck in a bus which is in danger of tipping off the bridge, found the rope, but as soon as i try and make my way to her, bus tips over, we both plummet to our doom.Any tips anyone?.

Tried 'Primal' on PS2, sigh.....

Here we go again, just like 'The Getaway', here's a game Sony clearly have thrown huge resources at (I could'nt fault the Getaway for it's ambition, it's high production values, hell it even has a Progressive Scan mode, but so much was broken on it, not least of all the targeting system, frustration killed any interest).


So again, huge production values ,16:9, 60 Hz, Progressive Scan options, streams extra assests off DVD for more Polygons than you'd find in a 'normal' PS2 game, professional voice acting etc etc), but what's the point of putting all these resources into a game, when the fundamentals are so poor?

The poor combat and basic puzzles just did'nt warrant further playing.


Really loved Sony Cambridges PSone Medievil 1+2, did'nt rate C-12, Final Resistance that much though.

I cannot fault their technical skills, but it's just overly sweet icing on a very poor cake.

I played some Scarface on the Wii, very hard game

Primal was a pity. Lovely visuals but crap combat and camera movement made me ill. Getaway also looks great but plays like a dog. It just needed simple twin stick control FFS!

Ghosthunter was ace though.

Considering the years The Getaway was in development (PS1 version was actualy shown to Playstation Plus magazine, just before PS2 version was finished), the fact they could'nt even fix something so basic as auto-aiming, thus rendering combat a truely frustrating exp.shows the focus was purely on the production values, rather than making an enjoyable game.

Something i've found repeated on a number of high profile Sony/PS2 games, high production values, lavish ad.campains, but a linear game riddled with flawswhen you finally get to play it.

I could'nt fault Wipeout:Fusion on PS2 technically, but it felt so sterile next to the PS1 series.

The Getaway, some superb ideas in there, could have been THE GTA type game set in London, but by trying too much to create a 'photo-realistic' setting and putting in as much realism as possible, it became a spluttering mess. How it got scores of 7/10 at the time astounds me.

As for Ghost Hunter?

Possibly THE best looking Sony Europe PS2 game, stunning lighting, great textures, fantastic character models etc, but sat on top of a very mixed game, it did'nt seem to know what it wanted to be, was it going for the comedy aspect, a la Ghost Busters? or was it trying to play it straight as an adventure game?.

The puzzles were as bad as those in Primal and man alive, who on earth thought: 'you know what this game REALLY needs, a STEALTH section, yeah, that'd be awesome!'

No, no it would'nt, it'd be (and indeed was) a bloody stupid idea, something that not only added nothing to the game, but felt so out of place you just new the game had been designed by marketing, not gamers.

It was a tick box of ideas:Outstanding visuals,marketing can really run with that, 60 Hz, Progressive Scan:Check, what else, come guys ideas...Um, combat-great, combats in, what else? Puzzles shouts someone else, yep, bung 'em in, what else is in these days? stealth shouts a voice at back of room, MGS is huge, yeah, stealth, put some stealth in there boys, the kids will love a bit of that, breaks up gamestyles, lovely jubbly.

I played some Scarface on the Wii, very hard game 

Dunno IF difficulty has changed over Xbox version, but i poured hours into that, still re-visit, what you finding difficult with it?.

Downloaded Lemmings on my PSVita. Awesome version of the game.

Mentioned these over in the PS2 VS DC thread, but been going through my PS2 collection to try games i missed out on as a PS2 owner the 1st time around, have to say, whilst the PS2 did indeed deliver 'the goods' with games like:

Silent Hill 2, GTA3+V.C,Burnout, Black, both God Of War titles and Cold Winter, i'm just NOT seeing the machine Sony promised.

60Hz option on games? very patchy, let alone W/S, Dolby 5.1? i've only seen in 1 game, MGS2 and that was cut-scenes only, Dolby Pro Logic II seems thin on the ground, limited texture Ram so apparent in many games.

Then you've the technically outstanding, but gameplay vacums like Wipeout Fusion, The Getaway, Primal, Ghost Hunter etc, that i'd quite happily see lower quality visuals if it meant better gameplay.

I'm currently enjoying Shinobi on PS2 (but technically that started out as a Dreamcast project, so it's not been built for PS2 only), but a lack of check points seems a massive over-sight.

No G-Police or Colony Wars seems shocking omission.


Seems a lot of the PS2 games i had high hopes for (Exo, New Midwinter game, New Xcom/Freedom Ridge etc) got canned early on.

Likes of Res.Evil 4, View.Joe, Killer 7 started off on G.C, the SEGA Ages comps stayed Import only in the main, so a Pal PS2 so far, massive let down for myself.

Going to continue trying the games i've missed but so far? dissapointment be thy name for so many titles.

Tried 'Primal' on PS2, sigh.....

Played a bit more of The Getaway and the need for simple twin stick controls is the very least of it's problems.

Here we have Sony spending well over £3 Million on developing a game, that starts on PSone, ends up on PS2 and Sony promises will be a revolution, it's a step towards a future entertainment medium, it's a game that goes beyond the point that ANY video game has gone before.

What we get is:

A technically very impressive game but wandering around the realistic streets of London is fine, IF you know your way around, clearly an in-game mini-map is too much to ask for, as is a workable in-game camera, workable aut0-aim and a decent script!.

Your man character quite happy to slaughter all and sundary, just to get his kid back, friends, Police officers, both bent and straight, passers by etc.

No wonder B.T kicked up had it's logo's removed from the vans etc after 1 mission had you donning a BT uniform and breaking into a cop shop.Typical Sony arrogance not to think further than end of it's own nose.

It too has to feature an element of stealth into the game at some stage.

It really does (to me at least) sum up what was going so wrong with Sony at that time.

They were delivering technicaly fine games, not the leap over Dreamcast you'd expect for 3 Million Polys vs 66 Million, but for what they got out of the hardware, they could'nt be faulted, but they feel short on so many levels as games.

They were'nt getting closer to movies, no matter how much you spent on scripts or voice actors who did the music, they were'nt delivering the sort of gameplay you could'nt find anywhere else, they just had a huge amount of cash thrown at them, in the hope something would stick, they ended up being bloated, shallow and flawe experiences.


I'm finding it somewhat ironic that whilst i've put likes of Primal+The Getaway back on the shelf, i'm hooked playing a Sega game on PS2 which is a MD update, which was planned for the Dreamcast.

I played some Wii games today:

Boom Blox - Amazingly fun game that is probably one of the best uses of motion controls I have found yet. The best way I can describe it is Jenga on crack. Interestingly the concept for the game is by Steven Speilberg!

Jumper - This game is based on the movie of the same name and has some really interesting concepts that all work very well. The fighting is excellent and use of "jumping" works brilliantly, shame the camera is a bit crap though.

Lego Indiana Jones - I love the way this game looks and its quite fun to play. The puzzles are very logical and you have infinite lives so can try lots of crazy stuff. There is just a bit too much platforming going on for my liking!

I actually loved Lego Indiana Jones, defo have to play it a bit more

Finished Transformers Fall Of Cybertron campaign last night, AMAZING GAME, the Transformers 1980's animated feature length film references flow thick and fast and are wonderfully done, it also manages to act like a modern retelling of "Arrival From Cybertron"'s first act/half

I completed this utterly amazing game today, great bit of stress relief after the bad footy result. I killed 9423 zombies on route to the finish and I have to say that last level was a total bitch. This is not only the first Wii game I have completed but the first modern game I have finished! If you have a Wii you really should own this game.

Started Metal Gear Solid 4. Very enjoyable so far.

Last few days I have played the following Wii games:

WWE '13 - Great stress relief!
The Godfather - Absolutely brilliant GTA like game.
Boom Blox - Never tire of this brilliant puzzle game.

Sounds like time and money spent well

Spent a few hours with the Wii today.

First I played Sega Superstar Tennis, it's very nice with all the classic Sega themes and characters but I found it very hard to play.

Next up I had a go of Nights: Journey Of Dreams. Seen as I had heard pretty much only bad things about this game I was expecting the worse but once you get past the millions of annoying cut scenes it's great.

Last of all I put on Star Trek Conquest and before I knew it I had been played for 2 hours straight! I really love this and can see this really sucking up my time. I havn't enjoyed a strategy game as much as this in years, right p there with my favourite Wii games.

Played some Prototype 2 this afternoon, a really great fun, no-brainer of a game. Improving on the graphics and overall polish of the first game, whilst keeping the core gamplay elements that make it so much fun. Run up the side of buildings, rip opponents limb from limb or consume them to steal their identity and of course picking up cars and throwing them at helicopters 

Really enjoying Ion Assault HD on PS3. Asteroids inspired twin stick shooter... old XBLA title that's been updated for a $2 PSN download. It also supports custom soundtracks so you don't have to listen to the lame in-game music. 

I've been playing a lot of the PSN game Rainbow Moon lately. It's a strategy RPG and I'm loving it!

For the last couple of days I have been playing loads of GT Pro Series on the Wii.

I had heard this game was crap but saw it for £3 and took a chance on it as I love racing games, turns out it was a good punt. The cell shaded graphics look a bit shite but the gameplay is really solid, it's basically just Gran Turismo on the Wii. Well worth picking up.

A few games of Fifa13 (PS3)

Earlier, played Lemmings (PS2) followed by Army of Two Devils Cartel (PS3) both with my son !

Last night was GT5 night - brilliant. We have a championship which lasts for 10 weeks. Into our 6th one now.

Been playing lots of GT Pro Series on the Wii, really loving this game at the moment.

Doom 3 (BFG) Edition - PS3

Played some Wii games over the weekend:

GT Pro Series
Nights
WWE '13
