It's all about Condemned 2- Bloodshot at the moment.

Nothing beats a game where you can go around downing bottles of Jagermeister and blugeon people to death with lead pipes and toilet seats. :twisted:

Horary for violence! :eyes: :D

Personally nothing is gonna match my excitement for Ninja Gaiden 2 this year, the first one is my favourite game of all time pretty much, so high hopes for 2!!! And it's been passed uncut by the BBFC, so that means unlike last time we get decapitations and all new dismemberments!

AWESOME!!

I find it hard to believe people are still playing games that aren't GTA IV right now...

I'm not, I've completed GTA4 as of today, time for something else for single player times.

I've hardly touched GTA. Played a few missions but it's the brother's PS3 and he pretty much has it monopolised atm with that and Ghost Recon.

I'm playing FM2008 and PES2008 now I've a PC that can handle them properly.

***SPOILER WARNING***

Pah, as if not being able to buy stuff makes the ending shit, that makes AFTER the ending shit, and as for nothing has changed, well thats kind of the point, its a really good story if you ask me, and an awesome ending.
A happy ending would have been ultragash.

2 big gaming milestones for me yesterday! One AND Raining Blood finished on Hard Guitar Hero 3!

Yes only 3 stars but I don't care, finished is finished!

Now I'm tearing my hair out with the final boss battle, is that impossible or what!!!!!!

GTAIV is still on the go, but it's been on the backburner for GH3 and a few online GRiD races plus generally having other things to do ;)

GTA IV has to have one of the best plots in a game I've ever played

last month I was bitching to my workmates that I'd never finish stricken or Knights of Cydonia!

I'm chuffed as! Expert though....I'm gonna save my sanity I reckon, way too much effort.

Anyone gonna bother with GH:Aerosmith? If it's the right price I might, not a smith fan though but I could think of worse bands to base an entire game on.
