I dunno about you guys, but I'm a total casual gamer these days. Been playing Jetpack Joyride, Cut The Rope and Plants vs. Zombies* on my tablet.

How about you?

*It's a terrible Android port too. Bad PopCap!

PS - we're also running this topic as an 'Isla Fisher lookalike' competition, as a footnote. If your, for instance, girlfriend or wife looks like her, post a photo or six and we'll vote on how similar the resemblance is. Thanks.

I got the last post by accident and deleted so you could get in there mate and R stole it .....lol

I don't play as much as I use to anymore and trying to cutback to a few titles every few months and clearing backlog games. Find now that I have a PC, more interested in upgrading it then buying new games at the moment.

Anyhow, congrats on getting to 9999 after 3 + years...

Yaaaaaaaay part 2!!

I played some Anomaly: Warzone Earth last night... it's very good. Completed 3 more missions. Would highly recommend it to anyone that fancies a different take on the Tower Defense game. Also played a bit more Wipeout HD as well.

Hurrah! The first 9999 on the thread, here's to many more :-) My right hand may look like Isla Fisher's so I guess I could send a photo of that.

Currently playing AC:Revelations. Still feels a bit checklisty but is strangely ambient and enjoyable after a hard day's work so can't complain. It is one of those games that, if played for more than 3-4 hours, starts to grind my gears.

Also downloaded Slender which I recommend everyone try (it's a free download... I went through the official site which took me to an Atomic Games site to download.) Very simple, very scary, has to be played with lights off and volume up. Try and collect 8 pages without getting caught by the Slenderman. I got 4, turned it off and changed my underwear.

One of my mates made me play Slender the other day.

I played it with the lights on and my mate sitting next to me and I was still freaked out.

I got 1 page, got lost, then got accosted by the Slenderman and was even more disorientated after running away from him, then he caught up with me again.

I think it's a really cool concept but I am too much of a girl to play a game where I am unable to destroy my stalker with a vast array of weaponry.

Nothing to report really. Been playing armoured kill on bf3 and so far its not too bad, better than close quarters.

And PS+ this month holds nothing of interest so multiplayer all the way at the mo. That machinarium looked OK but it looks like a puzzle game too far to the annoying side of puzzler. I like puzzle games but prefer the cuboid type. The fighting side scroller isnt for me either.

And Congrats on the new thread. My support is unwavered as long as Nessy stays out of here;-) Only joking Nessy.

soo was playing Lost oddyssey couple weeks ago, put around 9 hours into it and was enjoying it however I played it again yesterday and thats the last time I will I think....

So I met with these two kids and met their mum, who just happened to be your daughter that you've been having flashbacks about, and she proceeded to die. So the flashbacks seem pointless now, then I had to sit through 45 mins of cutscenes where they are all crying, trying to make you feel emotional about a character that has had 2 mins of screen time. I then had to do pointless errands containing collecting 10 flowers with one character then 10 sticks with another then a few of the simplest QTE's ever.

Add this to the fact that I had just finished work and had to start my second job in one hour, so I basically finished, watched some terrible story cut scenes for 45 mins and then had to go to work again.

Would anyone else give a game another chance after this?!

Posted on 13 Sep 2012 13:31:15 BDT
Maybe give it another try when you've got more than an hour to play it. Perhaps you were rushing a bit which made the cut scenes seem even more annoying.

Also how draining is having a second job and does it affect your main job? I'm thinking of doing a part time evening job to get some more money in.
