Been smashing out a rather strange game called alaskan adventures. Its easily the most tedious thing ive ever done, you have to track animals. You get bolocked for shooting the wrong type of animal, you occasionally get vehicles that are slower than walking and you get savaged off pretty much everything. utter bollocks.

What you call "tedious" Alaskans call "thrilling".

Its only redeeming factor is that it has a reflex bow, so you can turn any bit of wildlife into a furry pincushion. Fuck it, back to Fight night!

Been playing the beta of Battlefield 3 and it's pretty good.
Never played the game before but it's got me by the balls!
Coming from someone who came 26th in the world at Free for All in Black Ops, this is quite an admission!

Yeh I've heard good things. Apparently it's meant to be better than COD? true or false?

[Teaj]

I thought Battlefield 2 was better than COD! Does most things better in my opinion.... looking forward to number 3.

[mr.pure]

I'm not gonna stab COD in the back, it's different.
COD is Disney warfare whereas Battlefield is more like a Kubrick film.
In COD you get someone in your sights and they're done for, in Battlefield you have to work a lot harder for a kill.
I would say it's probably as close to real warfare as you'll get at the present time.
You don't buy weapons, you use the ones you're given and earn new ones along the way as you get kills with different classes and rack up points.
Me likey lots ad will definitely be buying.
Still gonna get MW3 though.
Sad but true.

[nikosg]

Do you get payed to do beta testing?

[pokey27]

Anyone splashed out for fifa12 or the new f1 game??? reviews??

[mr.pure]

No, Nik.
Sometimes you get extras or freebies for helping out and more importantly providing feedback.

Looking forward to MW3. Checked out the Spec Ops play through video on IGN yesterday, looks awesome.
Currently playing GoW3 and Red Faction Armageddon, as well as still working on 100% completion on Fallout New Vegas. Not enough hours in the day.
Also got ACRevelations and Arkham City coming soon, plus still need to get Space Marine (loved the demo, must get the game)

[Teaj]

Can't wait for Arkham City!

Been playing Gears of War campaign. Pretty much the same as the other 2. Nothing stellar.

^What he said. Bit disappointing really. Was playing Deux Ex before that, that was alright, but I'll only play it once 'cos it really fucked me off that once you complete it you can't then select levels to play again but with all your augmentations. Looking forward to Forza 4.

[Tifoso]

Just read the review for Forza 4 over at IGN.(They gave it a 9.5) Seems like they've likely surpassed GT5, which was a HUGE disappointment, IMO. I'll definitely be picking it up.
