Looking to buy a new game? Want advice or inspiration?

Well, if you start a whole new topic for it, people will probably object and call you a spammer. So ask in here instead.

Nuff said :O)

Finally! Someone who agrees with me! I've always found EA's games rushed and lacking in re-playability, despite the fact they're such a huge company. Those 'Sims' add-ons were pathetic.

Well, at £35.00 a game it's a very pricey business, I really do expect my money's worth.

I would say Turok.
I really enjoyed the original games on the N64 and this one should be just as good.

I just got back from my holiday in Italy but I doubt anyone missed me. Anyway should I get the new Turok game or Die Hard I don't think I'll be able to afford both. At the moment I think Die Hard looks better.

Anyway looks like i should get SSBM.

Oh and AUF isn't that bad I've got it and I enjoyed playing through it the first time and the driving levels are great. The multiplayer is pretty good as well. People have to learn to stop expecting to much from the games. Don't expect it to be as good as Goldeneye and then be disapointed. Just enjoy the game.

I'd say.

SSBM - Best game i've played in a long while. Starts off a bit slow. After 10minutes you'll be hooked. I've clocked up 10 hours so far. I havn't even used all the players yet!

Star Wars:RL - Well, I traded this in for SSBM. Its good, very good. Nice challenge. Its new, refreshing. Exciting. I completed it any never went back. Definatly worth a rent at least.

SMB - Havn't touched this in ages. May trade this in too. Its fun. And VERY addictive. The multiplayer it very very fun too. This game rules.

AUF - Well. Heard that the PS2 versions weren't that good. So stear clear. As its supposed to be a direct port.

Burnout - Sumpremely good fun. Fast, fun, thrilling. Although, the crashes get so annoying. Like, when you nab a little crash barrier. And end up with no damage. It shows you a replay. Which is highly annoying. Although, it you can stand this. This game rules.

NHL Hitz 2002 - Now, this game. Is the bees knees. Its so fun. Its so fast. Its amazing. The graphics are pure quality on this title here. Even if you dont like hockey, or never played it. Like me. I found this game highly enjoyable. Loads of stuff to do.

Mm, or. Wait for Resi Evil.

Im waiting for Metroid Prime, Resi Evil, and Timesplitters 2 myself. And a bucketload I cant remember.

Oh yeah. And, Crazy Taxi. Thats fun, yea. But in arcades. 3hours+ and it just gets boring.
