Have had a go on COD5 and wasn't really impressed, after some suggestions on what to get next?

they all suck at the minute, im still playing bad company now and again, only one worth a second glance

Give me a bit of info on bad company?

Fallout 3, Halo Wars, Gears of War 2?

Badcompany for me too, I'm always playing it wife goes mad:D great online play.

Battlefield bad company, simulation type game in 1st person perspective, all real guns and outdoor/ indoor scenery.

You can drive cars, tanks, helicopters etc. nearly everything is completely destructable. makes for great online play.

i hated bad company, not that great of a fan of COD5 i thought 4 was better. games i reccomened are GoW2, fable 2 (if you like rpgs), fallout 3, streetfighter 4, bioshock (loved this game)

I'm loving Oblivion still at the moment.

I also like COD4/5 shoot-em-up type games and I wanted something new. I went to a friends who had Rock Band and it was fantastic. You dont have to buy the whole box of instruments, just buy a guitar from amazon and then the game. I have both rock band and rock band 2. rock band 2 game play is alot better than the first one and you can import the music from rock band 1 if you know someone that has it or download more music from xbox live. I have the drums, mic and 2 guitars and the whole family plays it. Definately good fun if your into music and because it has a no-fail mode in the options you can just play for fun if you want to.

There is also the guitar hero series which ive not played but I imagine is very similar.

whats it like i have never played it

Maybe we could start a game swapshop :)

FEAR 2 is amazing! dont know how it is on XBOX but PC its mad!! Motion Blur is epic but not too much, a nice balance!! Music and gameplay really draws you into the game!Only 1 i can recommend for the moment

whats it like i have never played it

 

If you can get passed the first 20 minutes of the game without getting frustrated then you’ll like it.

If you can get out of the sewers then you’ll love it.

 

It's a massive game. I've clocked up over 60 hours on it so far in total in the last 3 - 4 months and I'm not even half way through it.

The end game is apparently just as good as well so it's a game that you can play continiously.

And then there are the expansions which add even more play, i used the trick of saving the game just before the end of the sewers so when you want to start again as somebody new just load it up and you dont have to **** about in the rat hole

whats so bad about the sewers

take note

Yup did the same.

I also save the game before I take the stones at the end of each oblivion gate. That way you can get what you get, reload if you don't like it and try again :D

 

I'm a vampire at the moment, finding it ok even in daylight at vampirism 50 but any more than that then I make sure I feed as the sun starts to burn me a little too bad. I left myself at 100 for 3 days but then no one would talk to me in quests and everone who saw me said I looked ill. Not sure what I woudl do now without life detect and night eye.

 

Can someone explain to me who to soul trap ?. I have a bunch of soul gems on me and I use soul trap magic and then kill the creature but nothing seems to happen. Any tips ?

You have to use the 'soul trap' spell or scroll on a bad dude. you have a timelimit depending on level, the bad dude has to die within the time limit for you to trap the soul.

 

The tougher the bad guy the the better the gem will become, the gems can be used to recarge weapons or sell for top dollar.

 

note: some baddies cannot be soul trapped

Guitar hero world tour rocks, i now have some acoustic tracks too

i still spand hours driving round vice city, just fro the radio tbh... lol!! good 'ol ps2!!

Thanks mate I tried it last night, seems to work ok when you are in 1st person mode, but can't seem to get it to work in 3rd person view. Strange that, maybe a bug.
