It's gotta be one of my fav shooter ever, I just spent about 15 minutes with my squad sitting on a large rock with a Tank encircling us, every time anyone popped up for air they got a face full of tank gun. To make matters worse there was a continuous assault from a nearby Iraqi camp and I was completly out of Anti tank missiles after going a bit nuts and wasting them on a load of scud launchers.
This went on for about 10 minutes until I realised I had some anti tank mines on the bomb expert bloke, so as the tank encircled me I got my guy to run down and slap one of these babies in the Tanks path, didn't realise they actually take a little time to lay and the next thing I new, the tank was back and my bloke got a crap load of bullets in the face. To make the punishment even worse the tank proceeded to run him over and then detonate the tank mine. Ouch that gotta hurt, at least he went down on a hero, I mean a hero.
Anyway the real reason for the topic was not to tell you my war stories from Conflict Desert Storm (I could go on all day but you'd just get bored and end up telling me to fook off), I was just wondering if anyone else occasionally feels mentally exhausted by certain games and you find yourself having turn them off and have a break?
I never had this kinda thing when playing games on my N64.
Anyway ummm get Conflict Desert Storm, it's damn good.
Then I wouldn't need a weekend.
I remembered that. Twas a top game. And I actually liked the south park multiplayer!

The game is great.
NOM had this to say -
THE LOWDOWN
A very different platformer starriong a robot without arms or legs. Control Rocket on a last ditch effort to reopen Whoopie World, a huge amusement park.
WHY IT ROCKS
Little Rocket handles brilliantly and the levels are all designed with great imagination. Full of originality and wicked challenges. A first rate platformer.
BEST BIT
The games packed with cool touches, but the last level, Mine Blowin', stands out. Its as tough a stage as you'll find in an N64 game. Completing it will make you feel like a gaming god when you re-open the park.
GAME SCORE - 90%.

Rocket was probably the easiest to control out of the many platform games.
