Latest hardware/software/game additions

As the topic title says, what did you get lately?

 

Got Act of War game today (not the expansion) looks pretty cool so far, though one side seems to be vastly stronger then the other two.

[Shocker 0]

Hmm, my latest purchases have both been through Steam -- I bought HL2: Episode One and Shadowgrounds.

Dude, you've got to get hold of the expansion. The new units are great, and as are the mercenaries. Plus they optimised the engine so it both looks better and runs better than the base game .

 

I wish AOW had enjoyed more commercial success...it really is a great game.

Yeh it looks good so far, but it seems only the US Army can build defenses in the first 'stage' (defcon 3 and all that) and build stuff in a bit more normal way.

 

Oh yeh, I also got a SNES Emulator once again, bring on the classics XD

Been 8 years since I played Link to the Past. (and I played 4 hours or so each day on it, not 24 you silly person )

Crazy! I JUST got all three of those! Oblivion is phenomenal, though I haven't had any time to really get into it, and since the move my gaming rig has been down and I haven't been able to try Episode 1 or the new Ghost Recon How are they?

I own all three as well.

 

GRAW is...well, I've never had such a love/hate relationship with a game before. On the one hand, the presentation is beautiful (although the game engine seem poorly optimised), and the core gameplay is solid. On the other hand, the AI is as thick as two bricks. If you tell your squadmates to take cover at a suitable location, for example, more often than not they'll mill around like headless chickens just waiting to be picked off by the enemy. It's a real challenge to keep them alive -- you'll need to constantly micromanage them via the satellite map.

 

It's a good game, but I wish that I'd waited for it to drop in price first :/

[BWare 0]

Ah, I see. I mostly bought it for the presentation... I have a remarkably powerful gaming rig, and I couldn't resist seeing those visuals

 

How is Episode 1, by the way?

[Shocker 0]

EP1 is the usual class act from Valve . The visuals are just stunning, and the new animations that they've given Alyx are pretty impressive. I can't wait for EP2 (make you check out the EP2 trailer, it'll be in your Steam folder.)

[BWare 0]

There's already an EP2 trailer? Man they move fast. I like it

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the HDR and new animations! How does it compare to the original HL2? Huge step forward?

[GeneralZ 0]

bought guild wars factions. pretty fun

 

 

bware, u got some games recently? how bout EAW? :?

[Riparius 0]

Got a new power cord , the old one was too short...

[Saracen 16]

Got my Free US Import copy of field commander today courtesy of PSPLadders.com. It's been well worth the wait, a great turn based strategy game. I laugh at everyone who wants it here in the UK, they have to wait until July 21st. :lol:

GRAW plays damn near perfect on the Xbox 360. It looks stunning!! But the AI needs more work. GRAW is one of the games to own if you have an Xbox 360.

 

My most recent purchase was Call of Duty 2 for Xbox 360 and a cool silver face plate for the console. My Xbox 360 matches everything in my cabinet now, except for the crappy SkyTV decoder.

[TheBlackOut 7]

CoD 2 is fun... Get BF2 on teh Xbox.

[gammyleg 0]

Tinfoil! :lol:

[Alphabear 11]

i didnt like BF2 on the xbox. Multiplayer would be good but theres no australian servers so you have to use american ones. and singleplayer gets rather repedative
