need a new game to play through

Pighardia · 14 Apr 2011 at 19:37

Well, i finished Assassin's Creed Brotherhood the other day, and it was absolutely brilliant. So now i am looking for another game to start playing.

I recently started The Witcher. I know loads of people rave about it, but i'm not really feeling it tbh. Think i'm gonna leave it and play it only when i'm at work during the night, as my laptop can handle it pretty well.

I played the demo of Bulletstorm. Anyone played the full game? what's it like?
The demo was fun, but i do prefer games to be a bit more serious in general. What is the campaign like?

I think i might start Mass Effect again, as i haven't played it on PC, only on 360 a few years ago. Might play 1+2 as there is a fair bit of DLC for 2 that i haven't played and i got it for free with the DA2 deal.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. There is a bit of a gap atm before The Witcher 2, Portal 2, Dungeon Siege 3(never played them but it looks good) and loads of other games.

Cheers guys.

btw, i recently played Crysis 2 and DA2.

Metro 2033 is the dogs knick knacks and is a steal at £7.50 at some on retailers

mafia 2, great story game

LOL. Bought both of those games in the steam sales over christmas. Played the first few missions of Mafia. Thought it was alright.
Not tried Metro yet.

It's funny. i bought loads of games in the steam sales, but i'm not in the mood for any of them

i also have FEAR 1 and 2 which i haven't played yet(about an hour of 1 actually)

Play the first from the start, unless the hour you've spent on it is recent. Report your findings after a few hours, good sir.

Completed Bulletstorm on Sunday.

It's a great game I thoroughly enjoyed it and trying to get as many combos as possible is really fun. The campaign is a bit short at 6 hours but it has an arcade style mode for some mindless fun and multiplayer.

Portal 2 is out next week so I bet you can cope.

mass effect 1 and 2

they are great games

I just downloaded Fallout New Vegas for PC.
It's pretty neat, got a few bugs until they release some patches but all in all, good game. If you're into that sort of game.

this, for me the story and voice acting/characters was top notch, better than GTA IV in many areas, sadly you cannot really free roam on it as you are always in a mission sort of thing.

oh and it looks amazing

i recently finished darksiders, was really good, and has been cheap on a few steam sales recently, so chances are it'll pop up again

I didn't give that game enough of a chance tbh. I think i will give it another go, as i paid £30 for the GOTY before christmas, but didn't really enjoy it. Played around 5 hours.

I had no idea it was only 4 days away. Great

Completed it. I thought it was great, though it doesn't get a lot of love on here. Haven't played the dlc though.

I started a playthrough of ME just now. I don't know if the graphics have dated a bit, but some of the textures didn't look great.

So there are 4 games that i have started, but only played a little bit of- Mafia2(2 hours), The Witcher(10 hours), Borderlands(5 hours) and FEAR(prob around 2 hours, i'm in a harbour warehouse i think)

The Witcher will be finished at work, and i think i will give borderlands another go.
I am going to abandon ME i think, because i need to get through these games i haven't played yet
