"Something to buy"

I've not played any video game, excluding the stunningly slick minesweeper or the ingenious freecel, for months.

I think the last time was in january.


Next week I'll be losing my temping job, and will probably have some time before I get a new one.
While it'll be bad for my wallet, I'll have lots of time on my hands, and I figure I can afford to treat myself once.

So, Cube or GBA, I'm looking for a game, one that'll make me want to play it.

Recommend me something

More money for evil EA i see..

Technically.. you can't spell technically.

Yeah, had BO2. Didn't like it as much as the original for some reason, it didn't have the same feel.

Also the original had survival mode (one crash and it's over) and time attack with some supurbly tough fastest preset times.

I found any sort of a challenge was enough to give playing a bit of an edge, waaay past finishing the 'main' single player mode.


Didn't get NFSU yet though - they only had an old second hand copy, which looked pretty tattered and was only a fiver below the standard players' choice price.

I hear you like Burnout dearly, Duck. If so, then NFSU has the potential to be a very refreshing change. Give it a go, if it doesn't work out then try and get in Burnout 2 (if you haven't already...that game is truly class).

EDIT: I'm typing like a drunk today. So...many...mistakes.

Made a good choice Mumbai Duck, you'll be on Need for Speed for hours.

All good games like Eternal Darkness, Resedent Evil etc. are good, but not very entertaining. I always go for games which are more enjoyable and last longer like Need for Speed and Fifa 2004. You feel like you've got your money worth.

Hmm, VJ just doesn't give me that feeling like I'd really want to play it.

Had a look in gamestation today, pondered getting Mortal Kombat for £12, but didn't bother with anything in the end.

Viewtiful Joe. Simple.

Absoloutely. Bloody. Genius.

And that removes the genius multiplayer.

I have both burnouts, and though I love them I'd like a new racing challenge. (MK just didn't float my boat this time round. Maybe because I didn't play enough multi).

Cheap NFSU could do the job, is it worth picking up for £20 tomorrow, or should I look for it cheaper online?
