Yep that's right, there's been scores of these starting up, but all have failed. Let's make this thread a place for PC gamers to chat. Post anything you like in here, comments, reviews, but no spam please.

OK, lets keep this going gamers. For beige box and country!!
Or something like that. :)

Can't say I have bomberman in my games collection, though I do remember playing it agres ago on my PSone. Quite a fun multiplayer game actually. Max Payne is one favourites though, and it's still one of the best action games I currently own. I think it's sold cheap now I even think I've seen it on this site for £14.99.

Hello Peeps!

Sorry haven't shown my face for a few days. Busy back at work n all that. Also been busy playing my loan games, currently Max Payne which is looking good. Kids also made me get Atomic Bomberman which they think is the Biz (so do I but in the other sense of the word!). It is an arcade style game where you drop bombs and try to blow up other bombermen. Anyway Cips, mate, you'll no doubt have it in your vast collection of aging PCCD relics that you are hoarding under the stairs, or wherever.

However MP is looking quite good. Only problem is that if I keep hold of it then I can't loan other games while I have it (or so it seems). The deal with Loan_gamer seems to be that I can have 2 games at a time which is fine. If I don't like them I send them back and they are replaced. If I do like them and want to keep hold of them for a while then the are not replaced. To be fair, why would I need more than 2 games from them at a time? It's only cos I won their competition that I'm getting the games in the first place. But the biggest decision is whether to keep or return a game I like knowing that there are plenty more that I want to have a look at before my 6 months is up! So at the moment I'm being good and sending them back, keeping a wish list and at the end of the 6 months (May) will start checking out prices, hopefully, some of the older games will start coming down in price!

So I'll just keep on working through the available games they have.

good luck in getting the demo to work, as many people have been having problems with it, including me. I think it has something to do with Windows XP myself as it says something about a Protection Error.

I should hopefully get my new computer in a week or two, I'm just waiting until payday before I part with so much cash. I can't wait though, my current PC is begining to do my head in.

As for Splinter Cell, I'm still not sure whether I will be getting it or not, as I don't really go for games like that, but my interest of the game has been increasing. I'll have to try the demo first before I make any final decisions, which means waiting until I get my new computer.

So when are you getting your new computer then? Also if you get splinter cell before i do, tell me what it's like. As at the moment it's looking like it's not going to run on my computer. Ah same

I'm the same, allot of multiplayer games are pretty naff these days and I can get easily bored with them. RTCW is different though, I couldn't stop playing the multiplayer demo as it was just so addictive, and that's one of the reasons I got the game in the first place. Now if only I could play the damn thing.

I just want the game for the cracking multiplayer support, it really is one of the things which drew me to the game in the first place.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein isn't anything special, i've had it for months now and after i completed it, it's just been sitting on my games shelf collecting dust. I'm gonna take all my un-wanted games to Playtime Media and see what i can swap them for.
