Been blasting a lot of GTA V recently- I stumbled across the prison yesterday by accident and tried finding a way in, but was shot!

Has anyone any idea whether it's enterable, or if there are any missions relating to the prison??

Not you over in the UK til 15th November but thought it worth a mention that the initial reviews for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes have given a pretty decent return so far. 9/10 from IGN, Game Informer, EGM and 4.5/5 from Cheat Code Central.

Hopefully there are a few LEGO and Marvel fans on here that will give it a go

I know this post is a couple of weeks old but I think a lot of areas and building were included with DLC or multiplayer missions in mind

Cheers- I'm getting the internet set up at my new place on Tuesday, so I'll check that then.

I tried flying in a few times, but the inmates in the yard all run away and the place is quickly like a bacon factory!!

Just finished Metro: Last Light, brilliant Russian post-apocalyptic first person shooter set in Moscow's Metro system after the bombs have dropped. Really dark and gritty game with a good storyline. Best played in a dark room with headphones on, I crapped myself a few times playing this. Will be playing the prequel Metro: 2033 very soon.

Battlefield 4 was going to be my next purchase but I've heard it's buggy to the point of being unplayable so may wait on that one.

Try Outlast, if you enjoy crapping yourself. You're pursued by psychos in a pitch dark asylum, looking through the night vision screen of a camcorder, waiting for things to jump out of the blackness.

I've had no major problems with Battlefield 4. It crashed once after a cutscene in the campaign mode but other than that it runs as smooth as butter.

Or if you really really enjoy crapping yourself, Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

None of them compare to Hannah Montana: The Movie Game.

Sounds good, always loved horror games ever since the first Resident Evil, I nearly hit the ceiling the first time that zombie jumped out of the wardrobe. In hindsight it wasn't that scary a game, they are much better these days.

Are you on the PC version of BF4?, I've read it's the multiplayer on there that people were having problems with.

That's a different kind of scary.

I'm not sure if I've ever been genuinely scared by a game. Outlast made me jump quite a few times, which usually results in losing control of the mouse, pointing the camera at the ceiling and trying desperately to figure out which way is up.

Slender is worth a look, if you haven't seen it already. It's free.

Also, PC version of BF4. I've read about some of the issues people are having but I've never encountered any of them myself. I stuck all the settings on 'ultra' and it runs perfectly. Had to switch on vsync to stop the screen tearing, as it was going way over 60fps. But then some people are saying it barely works at all...

[Clitherover]

I've heard about Slender, will give it a look. Seems to be a good catalogue of horror games on the PC which is nice, shame the same can't be said about driving games.

I'll probably chance BF4 at some point soon, the multiplayer is just too good.

[M-K]

I spoke too soon - Battlefield 4 has corrupted my save on the penultimate campaign level, so it crashes on the loading screen. Seems to be a common issue, and the only fix is to restart the entire level, which I can't face doing because it took ages and wasn't much fun. What's the point in having 'cloud saves' as well as local if there's no backup? And why only one save slot?

Sticking to multiplayer now.

[Clitherover]

Battlefield has always been about the multiplayer. I haven't played the BF4 campaign but the one on BF3 was awful. I did quite enjoy the campaign on Bad Company 2 though.

BF4's campaign is particularly stupid. The story makes no sense at all. At one point I was in a cable car which got shot down by a helicopter, leaving my team stranded in the mountains, grumbling about how they're all going to die in the frozen wasteland. Then in the very next scene they're driving along a road with palm trees. No explanation about how they got there.

Really dumb AI too. I tried flanking some enemies once, managed to get pretty close while my team kept watch from the top of a hill, and it was going okay until my team started shooting for no reason. So then every enemy was alerted and all started shooting at me with 100% psychic accuracy, even though they hadn't ever spotted me.

Unfortunately there are some multiplayer weapons you can only unlock by finishing the campaign.

That is unfortunate, does the difficulty matter for acquiring the weapons because I'll probably just put it on easiest setting and skim through it in a couple of days if so.

I can't play Amnesia unless someone else is in the room.

Haha, I know what you mean but it takes the thrill away when you aren't on your own. I always get people sneaking up and making me jump when I'm playing games like that, it's a dead giveaway because the house is in darkness apart from my pc monitor.

I'm not sure - as far as I can tell you have to get gold medals to unlock the gear, but I don't know if the requirements for those change according to difficulty level. You get points for headshots, killstreaks, etc. I was hitting the gold medal targets about halfway through the levels on normal, so it isn't hard.

Edit: bit the bullet and completed it last night. You get three choices at the end, each of which awards you a different gun for multiplayer, but I think I chose the wrong one. I tried restarting from the last checkpoint but it just shows the credits, so I'll have to do the last level again if I want the M249 (which I do).

Playing Amnesia as suggested by those on here and it's lived up to what you were all saying about it, scariest game I've ever played. Just got past the bit where you find the key for the machine room and the zombie comes in leaving you cornered with only the wardrobe to hide in. The lack of weapons definitely makes it more tense.

Outlast is a fiver in the Steam sale until Dec 3 tomorrow.

FROM are one of those rare devs I'd support with stupid money. Souls is a great (if unforgiving) series.

Also, it was more of a death-hug than a cuddle.

Completed the campaign on Call of Duty: Ghosts. It had a good storyline but the game-play wasn't challenging at all, even on Veteran difficulty. It's kind of cool playing as Riley (the dog), combat in space and combat underwater, but there wasn't enough of it.

Ghosts is the first one since World At War that I haven't had the urge to try. I played every other one, but I thought Black Ops 2 was so ridiculous it completely put me off the whole series. The bit where you play as the terrorist and run around in turbo 'blood rage' mode, hacking people's heads off, was hilarious.
