Monday lunchtime, I was in Game and made a spur-of-the-moment purchase: Eurofighter Typhoon.

It's cack, and I plan to take it back on Saturday. My question is, what do I get in its place?

A. Sudden Strike
B. Operation Flashpoint
C. My money back


I like isometric strategy games like C&C Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Sun - but how does Sudden Strike measure up?

I also like FPS games like Project IGI, Soldier of Fortune and co. How does Operation Flashpoint compare to these?

So, if anyone owns either of the two games, let me know what they're like. I've read a few reviews, but some personal experience and opinion would be nice.

Driving is hard and nobody wants the responsibility of going the wrong way, so we all pile into the back and passenger side.

Everyone sitting on the floor and saluting whilst Jungle stood 30 yards away and unleashed his LAW into us all.

One survived and spent the remaining 20 mins crawling down the road (when injured badly you crawl) whilst the rest of us flew around his head.
(when you die and there's no respawn,you turn into a seagull that you can control)

So 8 seagulls buzz-bombing a wounded Dentist.

This is the best game ever made

Used to the game?
We're not the SAS mate, best way to learn is to jump in and run everyone over in a nice yellow sports-car.

Last night's game is a perfect example:
Had to ambush a patrol and blow up a tank.

So 9 of us piled into the truck to get there, except we forgot someone had to drive. 5 mins of "Move you monkey" before the passenger up-front (me) says "Er...we don't have a driver", which meant 8 men trying to jump in the front whilst Junglefunker ran out in front and blew us all up with a LAW.

Been reading some reviews and looking at some screenshots...

I've practically settled on Flashpoint now.

Roll on Saturday!

Once I'm used to the game, I may well join UKD. Trying to get on in any other clan is like having teeth pulled...

My Clan is NOT funny.

We take a great deal of pride and demand respect for our abilities to salute fauna, hijack skodas and run each other down and charge about the battlefield shouting "We Ownz J00"

We're not called The Dent...actually you're right.

The Dentists are a clan of mindless idiots.
And I'm the boss.
