Beatles:RB is great.

The Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery tour dreamscapes are phenomenal.

I believe in October Abbey Road will be available as DLC. In November, Sgt. Pepper and in Dec. Rubber Soul.

I've played the PC demo, and even though my laptop isn't quite up to snuff to play it, I quite like it. Now I'll have to upgrade, damn it.

I really enjoyed this. But completing the game and finding all the ridlers riddles in one sitting is not good. I'd borrow or rent it for a week. I loved it but there's nothing to bring me back.

I can't think of a good one, but why limit yourself by thinking in such terms? I think of games as games and cannot see any bebnefit of holding such a low benchmark (as other comic book games).

Arkham was a wonderful little game. The problem with it is that it was so brief. Don't let that stop you though, it's a hell of a game and I'm sure you'll love it too.

GTA4 got put in the bin. I hate online gamers now. DumbScum.

Fallout 3 - if you follow the "dad" missions, it finishes too quick. Luckily I had an older save point and went and exploooooored and got so much out of the game.
:D

Rock Band - having fun with this + friends and on my own jamming favourite pop songs. Fucking expensive controllers though.
:eyes:

I literally don't play anything else, nor has anything new caught my eye, patience and selectiveness saves cash.

I've replayed Fallout 3 a lot with sdome of the downloadable extras. Operation Anchorage is crap, but Broken Steel was short but sweet.

I really fancy Assassin's Creed 2 and Forza 3. Forza 3 has been slashed price wise with the deluxe version reduced to £23. Must get this. My grandad won £10,000 this week and has given me a wedge to spend on what the fuck I like. so will be sorting a new TV and a game or two.

Street Fighter IV was excellent fun.

I got Scrabble Classic recently. The 1950's version with wooden tiles and a hinged board and all that. I love the thing. Scrabble is the tits.

I only play fake drums, so my onions are based on that:

Abbey Road and Rubber Soul are great. Sgt. Pepper is kinda dull.

Actually, I have the same opinion of the albums themselves, so...

common misconception.
Most rock has only one beat.
Ringo used it really well, and knew where to change it up.

Plus, his fills are downright fun.

GOTY?

I loved that game. One tip. Do not dive astraight into the main questl. Take your time.

I got Assasin's Creed 2 for Christmas and Forza 3 for my birthday and both are excellent games. I loved the first two Forza games but no opne here seemed to enjoy them. This one is not as difficult as the first two, has a better feel of speed without turning itself into an arcade game. Assasin's Creed 2 is just plain fun. On top of this, Caroline got me a new TV (Panasonic TW-P42G10B) for my birthday which ius a bit great (I need to sort a minor gamma issue) meaning I can now play the thing at 1080p (yay).

We had a good few games when modern warfare 2 first came out. Do you play Hardcore Team Deathmatch Joe? I don't tend to enjoy the other game modes.

Not too sure, I'm not too into it yet. Prefering it to Oblivion though. I've made my character a goodie, and am already kinda regretting it.

This can change by killing a load of "innocent" people or doing missions that are "evil" for wankers. Your karma level is just another variable, don't worry about it until you need to change it for a mission.

However, avoid killing named charactors unless you have to, because some of them may be needed later. Keep two or three save points handy before you go out looking for stuff.
