Oh yes I did. There was a deal on in Virgin Megastores for '3 games for £40' so I bought 6 games for £80. The games I bought were all PS2 games: X111, The Getaway, Freedom Fighters, Grand Theft Auto 3, Tom Clancey's Splinter Cell and Space Invaders: Anniversary Edition. So these are my first views on these games:
X111 - Very nice graphics and good fun to play, great storyline.
Based on first impressions I'd give it 7/10
Space Invaders: Special Edition- I was in a retro mood and when I saw it, I couldn't resist. It has nine modes:
Monochrome mode - classic black and white mode.
Colour mode - identical to Monochrome mode exept it is in colour.
Cellophane mode - cool game in which space invaders are clear and background is multi-coloured.
Upright mode - Very hard mode.
Upright mode 2 - Very hard mode of Space Invaders 2.
VS Mode - You and another person compete to see who can wipe out the aliens first.
Doubles mode - You and another person work toghether to try and wipe out the alien army.
3D Mode - Very cool three-dimesional graphics version of the original game
Space Invaders 2 Colour Mode - Space Invaders 2 in colour.
It's a great game and based on first impressions I'd give it 6/10
I haven't really played the other games much yet, so I'll review them later.
