Have any of you played Hellgate London much?

I've only just picked it up and am summoner... The engine is poor but I am enjoying it...

Hellgate no...

Just been playing the hell out of COD 4 (when I get the time). Wonderful intense battles.

Getting COD World at War in for the holidays too... then I think it'll be Fallout 3.

Thinking of COD4 when I eventually get my PC upgraded...all those components that have been sitting around on my desk at home are bound to be installed at some point this side of Christmas I'm sure Laughing

I thoroughly recommend it. It's a linear game, you can't just go ambling off any old where, but it is spectacularly rendered, has some great characters and some of the action is simply magnificent.

Tis difficult too, on hardened and veteran levels.

Has anyone played Left4Dead?

In SP I found it a bit samey (is that a word?), but in MP mode, it must admit, it's great, really relies on teamwork...

Jumped out of my skin the first time the 50+ zombies charged me!
at TOP speed!

Also, has anyone played Fallout 3?

I have noticed that it's now half price, I still have to check it though...

Ahhhh, I've been gasping for this for about 5 years or so... Fallout 2 set new standards.

I expect it to be heroic! But they have had to change the gameplay/viewpoint...

It has reviewed in the 90s...

Three weeks off from Friday! Splendid. I'll check the PS3 version too...

Fallout 3 is on my Christmas list... really looking forward to it.

Bought COD: World At War. Hmmm. It just isn't grabbing me like COD4. The graphics are not as good and smooth as COD4 (different team in charge, I think, the ones that did COD3). The story line so far not as compelling and all a bit random. Battles are OK. I wonder if I was spolit by the lovely weapons in COD4. I'll keep at it and report back.

James from what i've heard your not the only one whos said the about COD:WAW i think they were more concerned about the online play more than the single player.

I really like the choice you can do in Fallout 3. will be wanting to replay this just to try out both good and bad karma.
