Goldeneye! I have a very strong love/hate relationship with that game. Despite the hours and hours I spent with it....never could get past the jungle. But multiplayer mode FTW. I have the N64 with me again....perhaps I should give it another go.

I still have it and an N64. Perfect Dark too <3

Good ol' Goldeneye and its crotch shots.

Spartans may be cool and all, but they ain't no Space Marines

Amen. I still like the SM approach

"Oh dear. you've blown my arm off *shrug, sigh*. I shall now use the soggy end of it to beat you to death. FOR THE EMPEROR ofcourse *bash bash bash bash*" Can't wait for the new game. Kinda dreading the movie tho...

And yeah I knew about the non KIA bit.

GK - I played FPS on PC and xbox (original) before Halo - I just enjoy FPS and a decent (I didn't say original ) storyline. My mates and I mainly use Halo for the multiplayer. Well .... that and clearing rooms ala personal plasma grenade conveyance. Golden eye is a classic. Heck. I've used to still have a Sega Mastersystem. My aunt has an Atari at her house.

I'm a huge gamer, but I still have a place in my heart for the original X-Com/UFO game. Still play it several times a week, thanks to Steam offering it for cheap.

My X-Box online play depends on what's out at the time. I need to get back to Borderlands, but there's so much stuff out soon.

I'll probably be getting online with PS3 when White Knight Cronicles hits, though.

I have obtained this Borderlands ( PC ) you people have spoke off and it is amusing me. But it really seems to beg for online co-op.

I have also completed Bioshock 2 and have been utterly punched in the parental unit as a result.

I still haven't finished an entire game of X-Com.

I started another game about 3 weeks ago. I was doing good (I thought), doing most of the essential research and had about $19mil. I was just waiting for my ultimate space craft to be built.

Unfortunately the aliens were fed up with my antics and sent a very large battleship to my base filled with ETHEREALS.

I have no Psi abilities of any kind so I'm fucked.

The current game is saved with the aliens about 15 seconds away from landing at my base. Dunno what I'm gonna do. I know I could get a saved game editor and give my soldiers psi abilities, but I hate cheating.

Keep contemplating grabbing that off Steam. X-Com collection that is.

Fight it out! Leave lots of time for reaction shots, and try to stay out of direct line of sight when you end turn. Move all your guys a couple of spaces after an alien has seen them, as they target the spot you were in when they saw you last if they can't see you directly. Usually, you won't lose too many if you move quickly.

Also, use your tanks and hovers to engage so your soldiers aren't seen as often. Large launchers can level whole areas before they even get near you. Also, during base invasions, aliens start in hangers and the elevator. Engage accordingly.

I have warned you all that it's addictive as hell, and I've done so REPEATEDLY. 'Tis your own fault for not heeding my warnings!

Managed to rope one friend into it, the rest are now wary of me after his dramatic conversion. ;p

My son keeps trying to get me to play... but I'm still racking up far too many hours on fallout 3! Not to mention several games I have sat here that I bought & still haven't found "time" to install
Wonder if there are any branches of Gamers Anonymous near me ?

I'm racking up plenty of time on Fallout 3, especially with some mods that make it even more immersive (FWe, MMM and WMK) Think deathclaws were scary? Say hello to Momma Matriarch and prepare to die.

I need to find more mods. All I have at the moment is a lighting & a weather one. Its fun setting the character to wait in the radioactive rain, completely forgetting that it'll probably keel over & die once the wait times up And, you guessed it, I hadn't saved for ages!

While I'm here, anyone play Dead Space or managed to install it on Win 7? Its so far refused to install for me

[RayvenQ]

Check This Mod out, you might like it, Combine that with MMM (Martigens Mutan Mod) and possibly Weapon Mod Kits (WMK) and you're in for a fun time.

Ooh thanks, I certainly will
