"PC GAMING - Longest thread"

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. :)

Ah, of course - my favorite movie tie in would obviously be X-Wing: Alliance.

And I apologise profusely for my typo (Inance=Inane).

The origanal Jedi Knight was also a great star wars game, as was Tie Fighter, which is one of my favorites. I haven't played rogue leader yet, but it is the first game I'll be getting when I get a GC. I don't expect it to be as good as tie fighter, but I think I'll like it very much.

I can't think of many other star wars games which are much cop though, there have been alot of recent time which are just plain cash-ins and play terribly. Mainly episode one SW games, but still, Lucasarts certainy has lost it's touch with the Sw licence, I just hope future games based around SW are made with as much polish as outcast.

This is a bit general, but the Star Wars games are good, or at least some of them. Especially Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast.

Just looked “Inance” up in the Dictionary of Misspelt words (4th edition! can’t get better!)

Inance: Immensely Superior

Why thank you IB!

I've got a degree in "Inance Drivel" got to put it to some use!

If you don't like my particular type of drivel read oneone elses!

You're not jealous of my insobriety are you? (not sure there is actually such a word, probably more Inance drivel, who cares?)

I've never rwally been into movie tie-ins, in fact, I don't own any at all.

Hi, I just bought Max Payne for the PC and it was worth the price. I like how you are playing in a story type game. The controls are alright when you get used to them.

The best one I have has to be Blade Runner. It's a point and click adventure, and probably one of the best of its genre. Rather than sticking too close to the film like so many games of movies do, it simply uses the film as background to the actual game. Certainly what every developer who's making a game of film should do.

A good storyline, some good graphics, and plenty of puzzles to keep anyone who's a fan of the genre occupied. There are plenty of locations lifted from the film and put into the game, so it will feel familiar to those who have seen the movie.

Perhaps the best thing about it is the choice it gives you to play the game. For example, you could go through the game and hunt every replicant you see down, killing, or retiring each and every one of them. Or could help the replicants out, and save them from being hunted down by other blade runners.

It has 13 different endings, so it has plenty of replay value and is on budget now, so I recommend it to anyone who's a fan of point and click games or a fan of the film it's based on.

Will mightyjimbo recover from his hangover?
Will he realise all the half-legible posts he put out in the small hours of the morning are actually little more than inance drivel?
Will Batman save Gotham City?


We'll find out today...

No. Can't think of a game for £20 that I'd buy tomorrow apart from, funnily enough!, Civ1. Haven't got it have others in series and could do with it!

Any of you out there got it? Want to get rid? Not for £20 but a Fiver? (+ Postage!) less if it's taking up space on your already full shelf!

End of 2nd bottle of wine, much more to say but sadly lavking in typign skills nwo! As you will have noiticed!

Night Night! Hear from you tomorrow!
