RVG Forum

What are the latest modern games you have added to your collection?

I recently brought the following games for my 360, after trading in a few old ones:

I bought that Driver SE boxier with model car for my son at Xmas, it's quite a good game actually, good for a quick 10 min muck around on, and the split screen is good fun trying to catch each other for some sideswiping action!

Recently bought Trials 2 on Xbox live, great fun multiplayer!

Other than that it was F1 2011... As you can tell I don't play that many modern games over the last few years.

Bought Red Seeds Profile. (PS3 - JPN) It was released as Deadly Premonition on the 360, but the PS3 version is JPN/Asia exclusive. English voicework so shouldn't be too hard to play.


Also, Marvel Pinball: Avengers DLC Pack. Four more great tables from zen studios... they stepped away from real-world pinball with a couple of these and they're really fun.

I have purchased Dirt Showdown and Trials 2 on the 360.

Love them both.

No a small advert lol.

Guys i dont like to advertise it that much but RVG has a bigger brother called MVG aka http://www.maturevideogamer.co.uk its a mature gaming site with plenty of multiplayer game nights going on and friendly banter.. you just have to be over 18 to join.

Wiiiii!!!!!!

This was my latest purchase and it arrived yesterday.  Now I can download and play all those homebrew games for the DS. 



Other purchases I made over the holidays:

..... Laird owning a Nintendo console, i think that hell must have finally frozen over!

Wow haven't seen one of those for must be 6 years now, I think I have my Supercard upstairs in my gfs old DS, I've used a cyclods for the last 4 or so years.

You could always admit you're a closet Ninty lover! 

Isn't that a Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo DSi XL and a Nintendo Wii that you now own?

Says the guy who just BOUGHT a Wii U after spending the last 3 months ragging on it endlessly! 

I didn't pay for a single one of my machines.

Then Nintendo must love you Lmfao.

So true!

Back on topic...

My latest videogame purchase: ZombiU on Nintendo Wii U.

I needed some games for my new Wii a

I just bought 3 Wii U games from CeX:

Mad World - £1.50
House Of The Dead Overkill - £4
Cruisin' - £4

Not bad for less than a tenner!

So you've three games already for Wii with two being from Sega and the other being from Midway.

I've six Wii U games so far with only the pack-in game being from Ninty.

Happy days!

I just bought a Wii nunchuck because I didn't have one as well as a second controller in black to match my console. £3 for the nunchuck and £9 for the extra controller, both with free postage, so I can't complain too much.

I picked up HotD Overkill, from CEX too, along with SMG2 and Indiana Jones Staff of Kings. I bought these during he festive hols but haven't gotten around to playing any of them yet.  The guy that served me was a chatty friendly chap who seemed to like video games so we got talking about the HotD series. I mentioned the Overkill hand cannon and he gave me one for free which was nice 

I just bought this game for the Wii from an eBay store for just £4.97 including postage. It was limited to 10 copies and I got the very last one!

Fantastic!  You'll have to let us know how you like it!

Great stuff.

Nice find!

Went into Reading today with my brother and we visited both CeX and a little independent.

I picked up the following games for my Wii

Geometry Wars - £3
No More Heroes - £1.50
Red Steel - £3

strangely enough i picked up a couple of bargains at CEX today aswell for my 360:

Brink - £1.50
Wet - £5

Good lads. Some good prices.

dude you know I'm not a fan of the wii at the best of times but Bravo Laird Madworld is probably the most fun I ever had on that bloody console!!

In terms of my modern purchases I, either purchased by myself or for xmas etc, got the following:

Red Faction Armageddon
-traded a spare copy of Borderlands and got this for free. Best current gen investment EVER!!

Transformers Fall Of Cybertron
-Its the absolute BOLLOCKS!!

Fable The Journey
-haven't played it yet

Halo 4
-Again... the absolute BOLLOCKS!!

Sonic Generations
-absolutely brilliant so far

Black Ops 2
- so far, the shittest of all Call Of Duty's on current gen tech

and I got a couple retro bits too but I'll bring them up in he other forum

When I was in Aldershot at the weekend we visited Kart Klub afterwards and I picked up a couple more Wii games:

Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre
Tournament Of Legends

For £5 each.

More Wii games:

Dream Pinball - £4
Dead Rising and Medal Of Honour 2 - £8

No games since Xmas, but hardware I'm buying this;

Ouya with extra pad - pre ordered £94
Project Shield - Q2
Next Xbox Q4

Gonna be a great year for new hardware!

My Alien Syndrome for PSP has arrived! 

Enjoy TrekMD!

Ok... I buckled at last and bought minecraft for the Xbox360. Still, i'm quite enjoying it.

Yeah that seems like the kind of game that would really suck me in and devour days of my life so I have held off. One of these days I will probably buckle too though LOL

Bought Hyperdimension Neptunia (PS3) from Zavvi for 12 GBP.

I'm not a fan of JRPGs... and this one received mixed reviews... but the entire game is a metaphor/parody of the console wars between Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. The main character is a lost soul from 'Neptunia'.

Worms: A Space Oddity for Wii - Only £3

Last summer I pre ordered Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch – Wizard's Edition and it finally showed up on my door step yesterday. I got lucky as the company doing the distribution for this really screwed up and ended up cancelling a bunch of the orders.
I didn't open it yet but the main highlight of the Wizard's Edition is a hard cover 300 page spell book! Yes 300 pages! Really looking forward to getting into this 

So if you do not post for a while then you must be reading?

I have no idea what that game is as I've never heard of it but from the title alone I reckon I'd find the book more interesting!

RDR Game of the year edition. New for a tenner.  Bargain! Can't wait to play it but want to finish Doom 3 first.

Also bought Thumpback and Eye Brawl, both Skylander Giants, for [s:1vhpejm7]myself[/s:1vhpejm7] my son. 

Some interesting games mentioned in this thread.

Red Faction Armageddon - I was playing this today, actually. It cost me £3.75 in a Steam sale some time ago. Not breathtaking but quite good fun.

RDR is one of my favourite modern games.

Most recent game I purchased was Hitman: Absolution. It was a tenner or so in last weekend's Sqeenix sale.

So if you do not post for a while then you must be reading? ;)

Got 3 Wii games today:

Land Rover Ford Off-Road - £4
Heat Seeker - £3
Ghost Squad - £3

Few more Wii titles, must stop buying them now!

Excite Truck - £3.50
Ghostbusters - £4.50
King Of Pool - £3.50

Not purchases as such, but mate sent me:

'Killer 7' and 'Makken Shao-Demon Sword' on PS2 (enjoyed Makken X on DC).

Not a sequel, but a REMAKE.

Game is now a 3rd person affair, graphically it's rough compared to DC original (blocky characters with awful animation and poor textures-PS2's limited video Ram rearing it's ugly head again here), on the flipside:

Difficulty been toned down, you can start on a beginner level, difficulty wise, there's save points with the levels, you can carry health items and use them as/when you want.

Also game seems to have taken on an RPG element, as you build up the characters you've sight jacked.

Not sure quite what to make of it, whilst the difficulty changes are very welcome, quite taken aback by how rough game looks.

At this stage? finding it more of a curio rather than a must play.

Just looked this game up and I see it was never released in North America so I guess that's why I never heard of it. Oh well, after reading your thoughts it doesn't sound like I'm missing too much other then the toned down difficulty which would be nice.

I picked up Link's Crossbow Training for the Wii today for just £2.99!

Crossbow Training really is a superb game. Loads of excellent levels with a different variety of control. The only downside was that it just needed a bit more.

The day draws ever closer that you buy a fully fledged Zelda game...

NEVER!

I do own the CD-i Zelda games remember.

Got a crap load of Wii games today as they were clearing them out in a local Crack Converters:

Namco Museum Remix
Disaster Day Of Crisis
Far Cy Vengeance
Splinter Cell Double Agent
Need For Speed Carbon
Need For Speed Pro Street
Boom Blox
Battalion Wars 2

I also picked up these 2 games off eBay as they were on a £10 BIN (for both) and still sealed!

House Of The Dead 2&3
Lego Indiana Jones

Wii mania! Namco Museum Remix includes the fun Pac n Roll game from the DS. It's a little hard to control, but still a decent Pac-man themed/Marble Madness style game. Galaga Remix is a simple on-rails light gun game. Remix also includes the first home release of Pac & Pal in its virtual arcade. Remix is a decent compilation of old and new... don't know why they bothered releasing the 'Megamix' follow-up though.



A couple of 'upgrade' purchases for me over the weekend:
- Bought Bit.Trip Complete for the Wii at $10. Already had all of the Bit.Trip games as Wiiware downloads, but the Bit.Trip Complete retail release includes new challenge levels and some bonus material.
- Bought Patapon 2 for PSP at $5. Already had the download voucher retail release from a previous clearance sale, but happy to find the cheap upgrade to the UMD version.

I ordered a lovely little Wii game. Put I forgot to go to the bank to pay for it! Shit!!

Conduit Special Edition and Conduit 2 for the Wii for just £10!

Grabbed a couple of 360 games on eBay today:

Rage: Anarchy Edition - £5
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - £6.99

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - £6.99

Nice! A couple of bargains there. Rage is the prettiest game I have played on the XBox 360, so it's worth that for the eye-candy alone. Deus Ex is a really good game and you can have lots of fun with it if you just don't expect it to be as good as the original.

Just purchased Dragons Dogma for Xbox 360. Heard that it's pretty good so thought i'd give it a go.

Let me know how you get on with it. I've seen it cheap a couple of times and almost taken the plunge. Skyrim still has a lot to show me though...

:-) Continuing with my: 'Did.....get unfair reviews' mission, be interested in hearing thoughts from owners of Namco Museum Remix on Wii.

Took a hammering at review in GAMEStm, 2/10.

Claims of:half-hearted Wii controls, tediousily simple gameplay, Galaga reduced to a simple light gun game, where enemies seem to have forgotten to fire back and calls the compilation an insult to retro enthusiasts.

My latest modern purchase was Twisted Metal Head On for my PSP.  For $5, can't go wrong.

I haven't read the GamesTM review but 2/10 seems ridiculously low... metacritic average is 49% but that's dragged down a little by the GamesTM score (lowest of the bunch) and recurring complaints about the initial price of $40. I probably paid $10 and was pretty happy with it for the price.

The highlight is the port of Pac n Roll from the DS (72% on metacritic). Wii controls are a little awkward but it's still a solid game. The Galaga enemies are dropped into a simple light gun game... it's not really Galaga, but it's still fun and nostalgia carries some weight for me. The other Remix games were nothing special. The virtual arcade has an odd mix of less known games so probably not appealing to the casual player. First appearance of Pac & Pal in any Namco Collection if that sparks any interest.

The follow-up 'Namco Museum Megamix' was a budget re-release that added more of the well known classics to the virtual arcade and a Grobda Remix that looks pretty good.

All of this for less than £20 

Bully is awesome  as is Resi 4, but perhaps not your type of game

Bought some PSN Japan points to download Dark Mist with the JPN exclusive expansion pack and Raystorm HD.

Seems like a lot of content has been quietly vanishing from PSN lately. A few things that I'd delayed purchases were no longer available when I had the urge to buy them recently. Sega Rally Online Arcade, Zen Pinball 1 DLC tables, and Spelunker Black were all removed from PSN in the last few months without any warning. Figured I should get these ancient Japan exclusives before they're 'gone' too.

The Godfather
No More Heroes 2
Golden Eye 007

All on Wii for £18

Now you need Sid Meier's Pirates for the Wii.

Now you need Sid Meier's Pirates for the Wii.

I saw that in shop today actually, I nearly bought it!

I have it for the 360, PSP and Wii. You can't play as the Irish, but it does allow English, Dutch, French and Spanish.

I've got it on PSP, love it, but does get little stale after a while.

Hear the Wii version has 2 extra mini-games, but the controls suck on the sword fight and dancing mini-games.

I am English born but my mother is half Scottish and half Irish. I also have Spanish blood and French too, if you go a long way back, but don't like to admit that

Golden Eye 007

Picked up PS3 ver.of Goldeneye (Wii game just visually polished off), never took to it at all, might be becausde FPS are 10-a-penny on PS3, but it felt very much like a last-gen FPS.

I hope the Playstation 2 is still modern. I bought this $12 new. Not a good deal but I like pirate games.


It is set during the American Civil War and it is made by Atari.

That looks pretty cool actually! Shame they never did a Wii version 

I know. They did make a PC version.

Spring Clearance and St Patrick's Day sales in the US this week. Lots of $5-$15 games.

I spent around $100 and got:
PS3 - XCom, Prototype 2, Red Dead Redemption GotY (w/Undead Nightmare), Binary Domain, Yakuza Dead Souls, Lollipop Chainsaw, Ace Combat Assault Horizon
Wii - DKC Returns

Great list of games Tom!!!!

I bought Binary Domain not long ago too for pretty cheap. If you don't own a 360 and haven't played any of the Gears of War games you'll probably really enjoy it. For me it was just so similar to the Gears games that it didn't hold my attention for too long.

I don't have a 360, and have never played a Gears of War game. Not sure if it'll hold my interest but giving it a shot as a $10 impulse buy.

Just picked up Dead Island and Prototype 2 on Xbox 360 for £9.99 each on eBay

Will do!  I'm waiting for its arrival! 

Blast! Another game that peaks my interest. Thanks TrekMD! It had to be for the PSP

so I bought this recently on the cheap being a fan of the original and wanting to get into the comic I felt I had to buy the sequel... it didn't get fantastic reviews mostly it was slated for its short length especially when compared to the original but so far I'm loving every minute of it!



can't wait for the next one and I really need to get some graphic novels about the Darkness as well

I have purchased Starcraft and been given XCOM both on PC of late. Not played the latter yet but Starcraft is epic in every way.

Very much enjoyed this on PS3, not as good as original, but new developer and all that....

Big fan of the graphic novels, but i'd personally stay clear of the cross-over stuff (Darkness Vs Aliens or Vs Hulk etc),  it just does'nt really work.

cool I'll avoid lol, they rarely do

Yeah I loved the first one, it was dark and emotional and was a proper massive journey into a terrifying world, I loved every minute of it. The graphical style of this one is nice but I think I preferred the original

Mark of the Ninja is going cheap on xbla so I took them up on their generosity and it's looking very promising indeed.  The graphics, or art style if you prefer, are beautiful.  The lighting looks great and encourages the stealthy ninja approach.  Sound also plays a vital role and is also 'visible' when using ninja skills.  All very cool and exactly as a ninja game should be.

The gameplay allows for three different approaches to complete the game and while this should prove to lengthen the time I spend playing  no doubt it adds a huge slice of variety.

Slick, precise, brutal.  Buy it!

This just arrived today!  Put it in just to test it to make sure it was fine (used game).  Love the animation on it!  Looks just like the movie!

Thanks for the update TrekMD!

I really do love CeX:

+ 1 - Great game !

Nice buy those Wii games Laird !

Laird's seemingly aiming for a complete Wii games collection the way he's going!

Careful that Freeloader disc doesn't brick your Wii though.

Indeed he does seem to be on a mission. Lol.

I bought an Archos Game Pad today from Game.

Careful that Freeloader disc doesn't brick your Wii though.

I don't think it would brick the Wii, but the Freeloader only works with very early Wiis that never had a firmware update.

Yeah I found that out, my Wii is pretty new so I doubt it will work. I was given it for free so doesn't matter too much.

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll just put it here



The coolest "soldier" of any game and as you gather from my avatar - I'm a KZ fan.

Bought it on EBay from a games shop in Lincolnshire. Off to collect it on Wednesday.

It's 6ft 5" and it's eyes light up orangey / red

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll just put it here :16:

This came today:

With an artist's illustration of a footballer from Gareth Bale's new club next season on the cover! 

I'm shocked that Laird now owns a videogame with '2013' in the title.
