What's next?

Captain Ted · 09-06-2007, 4:06 PM

I am in need of some help and advice off you lot.

I have been given online vouchers for a game and have no idea what to get next.

The two games I have played to death are GOW and COD3 so these are the type of game I like.

No sports games and no boring sneaky sneaky ones that take half an hour between kills.

I welcome any suggestions because if it is left to me I will end up buying some crap!

Cheers,
Ted.

I seriously suggest you at least try the Marketplace demo of Overlord. It's not to everyone's tastes (and may not be for you if you're after a FPS) but i think it's looking excellent and it might get overlooked by many.

Captain Ted · 09-06-2007, 4:13 PM

Downloaded that one last night and am yet to try it.

Not strictly looking for a fps and I will certainly look at all games suggested.

Ted.

Sorry, i've just noticed we're in the Live section of the forum. Were you after a game strictly for online? If so then i don't even know if Overlord has Live gameplay but i'd doubt it.

Captain Ted · 09-06-2007, 4:55 PM

Live play would be good but not essential.

I've asked mods to move it. Didn't mean to post it here.

Ted.

I recommend everyone at least tries Oblivion. If it doesn't catch you then fine, but if it does then your in for 100+ hours.

Personally i never thought i'd enjoy Rainbow 6:Vegas as much as i am. It's tactical but it's certainly not as stealth reliant as the Ghost Recon games. Again i'd recommend at least renting it.

I'd second the endorsement of RB6V Captain Ted. Not only is it excellent single and multiplayer but is a nice balance between out and out shooting and a little stealth thrown in with great team AI (unlike GoW) in single player.

I really enjoyed the few times I played this on-line (loads of modes including co-op terrorist hunt) and new maps are now available so even better.

The weapons sound and feel brilliant, the only gripe would be that the graphics are a little basic but after playing GoW a lot of games look a little lacking

Well i look forward to playing GOW because i thought R6 had excellent graphics

Hi Ted, Don't laugh too loud but I would recommend Lego Star Wars 2. I bought this my kids (o.k I admit I also wanted to play it being a star wars fan) but I find it a really good change from GOW and the whole homour side of the game is fantastic. Enjoy!

jason g · 09-06-2007, 6:16 PM

a few people have shadowrun now ted if thats up your street im not sure.
otherwise u will just have to wait a while im afraid.

**mabo** · 09-06-2007, 7:11 PM

I'd second Lego Star Wars II and remember that The Darkness will be out at the end of the month.

*Raoul_Duke* · 09-06-2007, 7:42 PM

Yep, RB6 Vegas, out and out brilliant game.

jason g · 09-06-2007, 8:07 PM

watched a demo of bioshock today on bravo tv.
dont know if its the sort of game u are after ted.
anther one u may like is medal of honour: airbourne, which may be more to your liking not sure of the release date yet though.

furkinace · 09-06-2007, 8:31 PM

Another vote for Rainbow six here, good single player, amazing multiplayer, well worth a go.

Dr Evilest · 09-06-2007, 8:34 PM

Guitar hero II.

No killing

One great big flippin axe to wave around though

jason g · 09-06-2007, 9:55 PM

You can't go wrong with deadrising, gets a tad easy when you get the chainsaw though

Captain Ted · 12-06-2007, 5:22 PM

Sorted.

Ordered Shadowrun.

Also played demo of Overlord last night.

I will be buying it next. I liked it a lot!

Ted.
