Oh, if you're into ultra realistic shoot 'em ups...try Operation Flashpoint. Heard that was good. :suss: "Assumptions are the mother of all screwups"

So I guess your alter ego in the computer world satisfies itself by playing games for relaxation. What's everyone playing? I tried Max Payne recently and must say, though it's fairly one dimensional, the graphics are jaw-droppingly gorgeous. On the same note, I must say I also tried NOLF (No One Lives Forever) and found that it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. Most gaming magazines almost called it similar to Half-Life. Hah! I don't think so. Anyone played NOLF yet? What are your views? "Sunlight: that which makes a monitor difficult to see" - Valve.
GTA3 on PS2. Looking at the upcoming released for the PC looks bismal at best. It looks like everyone jumped ship this year to consoles or something. I only see 3 or 4 games that look interesting. Civ3 will be my next PC purchase.

Max Payne, and a little Deus Ex. I'm waiting for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and for the day when my engine is done so I can start developing my own ideas on it.

I've been playing Operation Flashpoint every waking hour that I haven't been sleeping or coding or working. OH MY GOD. What a beautiful game. Just got into internet multiplayer the other day; I thought my addiction was bad BEFORE! There's something sweet about capture the flag... when you hop in a chopper (one of 30 fully operatable vehicles) and swing up on their base and roast their whole air force while it's sitting on the ground. At the $60 I payed for it... it is *well* worth it. If you're looking for a game built with realism in mind from the ground up (literally), get this game. The first thing you'll notice is that when one bullet kills, you're going to start keeping your head down :) But you'll be surprised again and again the more you play this game. For example, I thought it was buggy after the first time I was shooting my M16. I thought the samples cut each other out because the birds stopped singing. But no, they were just scared of the gunfire. I lay on the grass for a little while and sure enough, they slowly started singing again :) Addiction alert! :omg: -Jason

Myst 3 : Exile, I enjoy those sort of games, and graphics in it are pretty good. But I also enjoy a good FPS for some instant gratification :) I took Max Payne back to the store twice because the damn CD was scratched :( (turns out that their whole batch was like that, don't ask me how :confused: )

What is it like so far Stephen? When I first heard about Empire Earth on GameSpot it sounded really awesome. Only problem is that I do not have a 3d graphics card so I could not sign up for the beta. I hope it works out and does not cock up like the other MMORPGs being released. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

Five of us at work, and we stop work for an hour EVERY lunchtime to play it over a network - just as much fun. The idea is not to win so much as to gain retribution at ANY cost...

Sheep bomb? "...the staggering layers of obcenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001
Sheep bomb? The funniest weapon of mass destruction you have ever seen. Imagine a pockmarked battlefield. Worms to the left, worms to the right, even worms udnerneath you! Some worms lie lurking near a tunnel entrance. You skip past your bazooka, chain gun, dynamite, kamakazie, banana bomb till you reach *gasp* the sheep bomb. A cute looking furry white critter of a sheep. You hurl it, it bounces tither and hither. Each mound it hits it bounces back, bleating as it goes. Eventually it finds the entrance to the tunnel. Worms shreak, your enemy screams in denial. Then *boom!* the sheep explodes killing all within range. It is hilarious. You have got to play the game John. With your sick sense of humour and love of goats you will can yourself silly playing this game. As Christian says, it is all about retribution, not winning! regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

I have not played the new Worms World Party. I am from the old school "huddle around one computer" Worm playing community ;) You are dead right though. No other game so effectively encourages you to find the funniest, biggest and most ludicrous way of revenging the death of one of your worms. Hence why I die laughing every time I use kamikazie. for Monty Python and the Holy Grail ? :omg: that must be funny. I think just for that reason alone I will go and get a copy of Worms World Party and try out the Holy Grail theme Monty Python and revenge killing worms... wooohooo! :laugh: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001
