yes, yes it is. I was playing it at a mate's place last night.

I almost bought a wii on the wiikend (geddit) but they're sold out of freakin everywhere!

I got an Xbox 360 too.
Just about to nail Gears of War in Normal mode. Up to the last dude - General Raam.
Awesome game. Can't wait to get a few more.

We have chrome hounds here at work but I haven't given it a play yet.
I can see it being more fun multiplayer.. the single player mode looks pretty lame.

This is the next game I'm going to buy.. comes out here in a couple of weeks.

Lost Planet : Extreme Condition

It has the best explosions I've seen in any game.

saintberry · Post by **saintberry** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 4:35 pm

yeah Gears on normal is pretty pansy puff. would be over too fast.

saintberry · Post by **saintberry** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 4:37 pm

been waiting forever for stupid S.T.A.L.K.E.R to come out pon the PC.

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:03 am

I'm waiting for Crysis.

oh, and Supreme Commander.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R will have a hard time keep up with graphical eyecandy considering that the newest screenshots look outdated.

also, it has an incredibly irritating name to type. too many full stops.

Post by **huge** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:35 am

huhuh yeah. its been like 3 years or something.

i had to type it like 4 times too.

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 2:10 pm

Guitar Hero 2 is coming out on the 360!

Wicked!

A new Ghostbusters game!

Looks like Gears of war, which can't be a bad thing!

WoW = aids imo.

But that having been said, the first player to reach level 70 did so 28 hours after the game was released. Given the grinding between high levels in other RPGs, I take it this is a pretty big achievement.

you realise the game was only released 28 hrs ago, and there are still login queues

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:30 pm

Shrug. I dunno. There's a news post about it on joystiq.com

sneaky hands · Post by **sneaky hands** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 9:38 am

the dude who hit 70 was a mage (makes grinding for xp hella easy) and had his whole guild helping him. still quite a feat - only problem is that to access most of the content you need "rep" so hes gonna have to go back and do everything properly now.

rob: the blood elves are cool - i made a lock on blackrock to see what it wsas like, their starting zone looks amazing, the character models are cool, their racials are imba (mana drain and aoe silence, both instant cast). draenei i havent played but they look stupid imo. Ran past a lvl 32 shammy in stormwind last night, apparently he hadnt slept since release (dunno why youd bother).

the new zones are incredibly, graphically look mind blowing, and conceptually they are awesome too. so well designed. ive done a few 5-mans and the new instances are great too. if youre gonna get back into it you dont need to worry, by lvl 62 youll have the equivalent of tier 2 from questing and instances.

"PlayStation 3 will finally be released in Australia on March 23 with over 30 games.

Only the $999 version of the PS3, which comes with a 60Gb hard drive, WiFi support and memory card inputs, will initially be available. The cheaper $829 version will be made available later in the year "dependent on demand"."

Couldn't for ps3.
