The gaming thread!!!

now that i've got a bit of free time i'm play a few games, firstly the greatest game ever in my eyes, nhl 95, a true classic that is just fun, then football manager 2005, pro evo 4 and dawn of war. dawn of war is just amazing, haven't played it much yet, but what i've seen from it, it just blows all other rts games out of the window

hey Lorenzo, how is PES4 going?

I'm currently doing a league season with Milan on 4 star (I'm completing all the competitions and buying stuff before master league)

I can play on 5 star difficulty and win, but I realised doing a whole season at that level would be a struggle as players noticeably get tired throughout a season. I think its important to learn how to play efficient football and try conserving players fitness when playing.

i'm rather good at tony hawk

my best combo brought me 80,000 points

A quick warning before you buy too much

In the master league when you buy players there is an "unbelongings" section. If you have bought the "greatest teams" option (Brazil, Argentina etc) then this folder will have some interesting surprises for you. Available after maybe a season will be 17 year old wonder kids such as Pele and Maradona which leaves you to chose whether to buy them yourself or risk other teams taking them. I chose the first option which makes my team practically invincible even on level 6, but it does ruin the game slightly as ,for example, Pele's shots are so good they actually go through a lot of the keepers

Thanks for the tip.

Wow, 6 star, I'm only 4, although I can't expect to play at 6 star yet as I only started playing last week and spent a good few days just doing training.

I'm glad to see so many Milan legends (from buying players in PES shop) are present and actually highly rated.

i'm just on the 5 star with an all-star milan team:

dida
maldini
c maldini
nesta
baresi
savicevic
ballack(well he might be in the future u never know!)
boban
kaka
shevchenko
van basten

bench
abbiati
gullit
rijkaard
me
robert (same reason as ballack!!)
can't remember!

i'm winning fairly easily to be honest (thou i've only completed the 1st season where you play all the useless teams) the defence is awesome and i can nail most teams on the break, this game does have a few fau

i play on 5 star as well, but with Utd

my team is:

------------------Van Der Sleen-(a midget genius )-----

-----------Heinze-----Mihajlovic------Carboni--------------

-----------------Moshoeu------Di Stefano------------------

---Zola-----------------------------------------Matthews--

--------------------------Maradona------------------------

----------------------Pele---------Rooney------------------


the best player is actually Mihailovic most of them are reborn players but im in 2009 now and i've built their skill levels up so high that its no longer a challenge I tend to hit teams on the break too, when they push up to the halfway line and are extremely easy to exploit

I've been trying to sign Gullit and MVB for years but they wont accept my offers, damn salary cap

cool sides there

I wish i could play Dawn of War, but my pc isn't good enough. Has anyone played Battle For Middle Earth ? That looks great ! Although i've heard the odd rumour that there are a few annoying quirks in the game .... but who cares, it looks great !!!!!!!

Feel my elven blade vile ork scum ! ... haha

haha, sorry ... i get quite hooked on lord of the rings

well Battle for middle earth is meant to be good so I wouldn't worry to much about any glitches

so says Dev, Flame of the east, Ranger of the South, Keeper of the MySql Perl that was broken but shall be re-forged

completed Viewtiful Joe today!!! This game is great, but probably the hardest game I've ever played (well, its one of them anyway).

I can now play as Dante (something GC owners don't get) and will try to complete with him.

As for PES4, I'm now doing the Dutch league with Feyenoord

Guys' i've got MAFIA game from the Take 2 programmers (actually a sub company, but the style of game is their). It's better than GTAs according to my tastes because it has a more realistic graphic and less freedom in the game play, which was something annoying to me, i simply got lost in the amount of missions.

So far, i've accomplished the very first missions, in which from a taxi driver i've got affiliated and connected to Mafia family Salieri, and already proved i got some gut and destroyed some opposite family's mafiosi cars

Btw i will let you know; so far i recommend it
