Never got into Skyrim, or Oblivion for that matter. My partner loves them but her playing days have dwindled since the kids came on the scene.

I guess I’m more of a CoD fan. I did enjoy the recent Hitman game which was far better than all the previous entries in the series.

Looking forward to Aliens: Colonial Marines that is out soon. Interested to see how they tackle that one.

I haven't owned a video console since they started making "sequels" to them.
So yeah. PS 2 and I never became friends.

But CAPCOM is here to save the day for old school gamers.
Here's an awesome NEW GAME that's a free download for classic MegaMan addicts!



Here's the direct link for the U.S. version:

Enjoy!

Got sick of oblivion after a few days, just could not get into it. Fallout 3 felt like a better game. Skyrim was fun but I just didn't feel like investing so much time into it.

I actually really enjoyed Hitman Contracts, one of the best stealth based games I've ever played. I'm definitely going to buy the newest one, looks cool.

I loved Skyrim, but I've been very pissed about the dlc for PS3 still not being available...so...I haven't played in many months.  I did finish though...and I will buy the dlc and continue on as soon as the fuckers at Bethesda make it available.

In the meantime, I've been playing Fallout 3 New Vegas, which is an excellent game.  I think it may even be better than Fallout 3.  It is a bit buggy for sure, but it's a blast and goes on forever, if you want it to.  I'm not thrilled with the dlc though.  I bought the Ultimate Edition, which came with all 4 dlc titles included.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas are a total blast. I clocked in about 20 hours into skyrim and realized that I simply didn't have the time to invest in such a massive game. Seriously, I've heard some have logged in about 500 hours into Skyrim (and that's just being modest).

With New Vegas, I'm always trying to find new ways to be as evil as possible. For example, when you meet that asshat who tried to kill you, you have the option of killing him on the spot, letting him go, or crucifying him. Naturally I put him on the cross. I then found him hanging there, just barely alive, and proceeded to beat him with a bat. After his corpse fell from the cross, I stole his checkered suit and wore it around town proudly just to tell everyone not to f uck with me. the game didnt realize what i was doing morally.

Anyways, the reason I'm posting is to encourage everyone to play telltale's walking dead game. Seriously, you want to talk about character development and story telling? You NEED to play this game. It doesnt follow Rick's story or anything like that. It's a whole new story based on choices. There are a few quick time events (which are super annoying), but they're pretty easy. Also you can't invert the Y-Axis which pisses me the f uck off. But this isnt a game you play, it's a game you experience. And it's the year's best. And it's only $30 for all 5 episodes. So there's no reason not to play it.

Sorry about that. It's just called The Walking Dead: The Game. Telltale produced it and it started off as DL only. However, they just released a disc with all of the DL content on it.

Here's IGN's link to the game...

The Walking Dead is amazing. It's my choice for best game of the year. Really powerful storytelling.

Thanks for the heads up on this one, Will.

I downloaded the first episode last night on my iPad (free on the app store) and was engrossed immediately. It's a very addictive game.

I finally got around to trying all of the Mass Effects. I'm a stickler (does anybody even say that anymore?) for story and characters over graphics and I was very pleased. I've logged about 100 hours into them in the last two weeks but I don't play as much as I used to.

All three are great and have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Original was best for its story.

2 was best for its characters.

3 was best for its graphics and sense of urgency.

I like them in that order.

I got Hitman Absolution. Have liked Hitman ever since the ps2 game. I believe I fell in love with the 3rd one.

I like the the ps3 game except that it's effing difficult. The story's short but, the amount of ways you can finish the mission has become hard. It's just effing difficult. lol. It's good and frustrating at the same time.

Nah Mr. Blonde,

I forgot what the 3rd one was called. lol. Blood money rocked. Figuring things out were easier than in Absolution.

I have to agree with Mr. Ripley about Hitman Absolution, it was so hard. My favourite Hitman remains Blood Money. I spent more hours trying to complete the mission in the hotel in as many ways as I possibly could than I put in on the whole of Absolution. The old school maps were way better too. BTW did anyone else get to play the sniper challenge that came as a free download if you pre ordered the game? I thought it was an excellent mini game.

In terms of games with a good story, did any of you ever play 'Heavy Rain'? It came out a few years ago now and was only available on PS3, but it's definitely one of the best, if not the best, game I've ever played.

It was pretty much the game I'd always wanted to play, where every decision you make can change how the story ends. You play as 4 different characters, a dad, a female journalist, an FBI agent and a private detective, all trying to stop 'The Origami Killer', a killer who kidnaps children during heavy rainfall in order to drown them.

It was basically a really long film noir that you get to change the outcome of. In my first run through I managed to get a couple of the characters killed, but when a character dies they don't regenerate, that's it, they're gone for good. Stakes are high. It had a pretty huge twist that I didn't see coming either.
