I am back in the land of video-gaming.
I went through a period of about 4-5 months when I just got bored with them all, nothing fun, done it before blah blah blah.
Got a PS2 over a year ago and just didn't go near it that much apart from watching movies.
PC? Used to hammer online multi-player (do I get an Amen for Counterstrike?_ and play other stuff but I just lost interest in it all.
But not anymore.
My PS2 is happy now I have GTA3, Soul Reaver 2 and Silent hill. Reasons for me to sit up at 3am playing when I know I have to go to work in 5hrs time.
And PC wise?
Return To Castle Wolfenstein, Operation Flashpoint and Commandos 2 revived my flagging interest in PC gaming.
It's nice to look forward to playing them again (apart from Silent Hill 2: you don't really look forward to playing, just experience it in little bits before turning off and putting all the lights on).
I have just spent 3hrs playing Wolfenstein online, shooting Nazis and storming beachfronts.
It's a fantastic single-player game but the multiplayer is outstanding.
I find myself gravitating towards the medic role, charging across an open courtyard with bullets whistling overhead to revive a dying team-mate.
Just makes me happy to keep my squad alive whilst they do the big shooty stuff (probably because I suck at attack).
And now I'm off downstairs at 1:11am to start playing Soul Reaver 2 for a couple of hours.
I just need to figure out that durn mirror/sunlight puzzle.
It's good to back enjoying games again after a while of staring at the machines and going to read a book instead.
And we still have MGS2, Medal of Honour:Allied Assault and others to look forward to.
Top stuff.
