Anyone seen Kill Zone 2 on PS3? Looks Mint - Cant wait for that!

Also saw Metal Gear solid the other day - that looked class too!

Yup, they do both look class. Metal Gear does look complicated though

Anyone play Shadowrun on 360 or PC? Just bought it off ebay and it looks great in training mode but not done the multiplayer in anger yet (scared to get my ass whipped!). Any tips out there?

[Wolverine]

Speak to Wolverine who plays it on PS3 and seems to love it. Will be pretty much the same game really

The should be a review of it on the gametrailers website which should answer all of your questions about it

Actually, found it - Click

Oblivion is my life.

Sad, I know.

Anyone played The Darkness yet? I got a used copy from eBay yesterday and it's really good so far.

Has anybody played The Elder Scrolls on the X-box 360? I get very bored with shoot em ups and platform games and fancy something a bit different.

It's a good game, although I feel you have to put in a lot of effort to get into it, once you have done that you'll enjoy it.

I thought it was great. Only took a couple of days to finish, though, it's really short.

If you like that one, Bioshock will blow you away. It's incredibly dark - you have to 'harvest' little girls for their life force.

i've got it on the 360. great game, graphics and depth. but you have to devote yourself to it or you'll lose the enjoyment.

the achievements are good as well as they relate to the game so you can't get them all quickly.

it's like final fantasy but you can melee and make spells, pick locks etc...

Campaign is good fun but multiplayer stinks!

It looks great but for me best part about it is the dialogue - outrageously foul-mouthed and extremely funny.

In one of the film clips between levels our hero, Jackie, reminisces about being down in the subway. Somewhat like ......

"Ahh I had my first kiss down here at 15.

Hooker by the name of Candy!"

pause ......

"I remember she crossed her legs .... and broke my sunglasses!"

Hilarious.

Downside is that my son has to sneak gameplay time when his mum is out of the house.

Thinking of getting NBA 2k7 and NHL for xbox 360 for Xbox Live mainly but for the special feature on NBA where you create your own player and train him up etc.

Bioshock demo is available on Xbox Live now. Well worth downloading.

Not really the best part of the game, but it's ok.

[Eddie]

Does anyone have Madden '08 yet?

[roversyoyo]

Bioshock demo is available on Xbox Live now. Well worth downloading.

Looks like a contender for game of the year. Played the demo last night, awesome game.

Going to buy it on the PC though, since its available on steam.

Bioshock has got the highest review scores I can recall seeing - the lowest it scored anywhere so far is 94%. Get it on 360 for the achievements or PC for the better controls (achievements for me)

Other interesting stuff coming up:

MySims on Wii is really great, like a doll's house that you can build yourself. Your wife / girlfriend / kids will love it.

Warhawk looks like it'll take the place of Resistance on PS3. Reminds me a bit of Shadowrun with vehicles and better graphics.

You know a game is going to be graphically excellent when the FMV at the start finishes and you sit there like a lemon until you realise you are in control!

What a freaky and addictive game bioshock is. I played for ages tonight and had to force myself to stop. Excellent.

[American Rover12]

Anyone see the hype for assassins creed on 360? Game looks pretty good.

[Cocker]

Does anyone else think this looks too complicated?

Click

[Shevchenko]

Yeah that looks way to complicated. But also, surprisingly, it looks very cool.

I'm actually interested to see how this "be a pro" mode is going to work. I would totally get the game if that mode actually works. Superstar mode in Madden is brilliant, but playing different positions in NFL football is perhaps easier.

[Biddy]

That does look cool but my god I can see Man Utd and Ronaldo being the most irritating team to play against because of it.

Dont get you mate? What about Rovers and Savage?

[American Rover12]

trick stick is always more work then good, and you just wind up using it for first touches and lane changes haha

I can definitely recommend Space Giraffe on the 360, if you're into shooters. The visuals are absolutely insane but if you give it 30 minutes or so to get used to it, it's fantastic. And it's only 400 points, which is about three quid. Not much of a risk.

Cant believe Tiger woods 08 is out on all formats this week, but not PS3!!
