Has anyone here played Assassin's creed and gotten all the flags, WITHOUT A GUIDE or walkthrough. I'm working on it now. I have all the Mysayaf flags, all the King Richard Flags, and all the Teutonic Flags.......but damn, this shit is hard!

Mostly Battlefield 2 (infantry only).
I've also recently played a bit of Day of Defeat, and Quake 2 (lithium mod).

I've been playing Red Dead Redemption and it's really well done. The gameplay is almost better if you ignore the story.

So my friend lent me a copy of Call of Duty World At War........looks ok and sounds good, but honestly, this is the exact same game I played with every other Call of Duty.......I can't explain it, these games just have a weird feel to them, which makes them seem not as good as they could be.....perhaps they are just too silly or something.

Yes a very good game. Also the newer Dragon Age: Origins is very engaging as well. It was game of the year on a lot of industries lists for 2009.


As for Burgertime indeed one of the classics. I have recently been playing a lot of the arcade games on mame and am refurbishing original arcade control panels I bought for Tron and Spy Hunter to play them as they should be played.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

This is from a time when video games were actually fun.

I've played about 50 hours with 4 or 5 different characters and still haven't touched the main quest. I'll likely try it when Elder Scrolls V is about to come out.

:o :o :o


WTF?!??!

I think I did about 350 hours in Morrowind, as I tried to collect all the books.
This game has a smaller map but the quests just keep coming, and it is simply awe inspiring to look at.

BTW, those Painted Trolls in the painting were HARD!!!!!!!!
