Not one of you plays Football Manager. Shows just what this country is coming to. Kids today.

You keep your silly games with your guns and your fat italian plumbers. I will stick with a simultion that requires an intimate knowledge of statistics, tactics, free transfers, cast offs and the unwanted. It has absorbed at least 20 years of my life and stunted me emotinally BUT It is about taking a lowly BSP side,molding your collection of hasbeens and never will bes into shape and taking them to the hights of European glory on a budget that makes Blackpool look like Manchester United.

I give you - Football Manger - the greatest game ever made. Youngsters today think that something like Fifa 2045 or whatever we are on now is good. It isnt. It only requires maual dexterity. FM requires brains, consideration, analysis, contemplation, motivation and discipline. It insnt over in a few weeks when you have killed all the badies or unlocked the cheats to get you mega tooled up. It is always there chunking away and cruching numbers.

Oh and you need a proper computer to play it, not some little box under your tele! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I've just got back into OpenTTD again.

Using some downloaded GRFs have created my own Birmingham New Street-style station with a building plonked on top!

Likewise, the departure boards feature of the version I'm playing is rather good. Liking your screenshot but you'll need a few more platforms for it to be a true New Street. :lol:

Also playing Empire: Total War, SimSig and R.U.S.E.

Don't spoil it ;) Plus now I know what they are singing I'm even more overcome!

True, I've removed the spoiler ;)

Same I just went to watch it on youtube and found a translation in some of the comments, its just became even better. Valve certainly know how to tell a story.

Fallout 3: GOTY is fantastic. For New vegas i would suggest waiting till all the addons are out then get it :)

New Vegas is a great game i got the 'Collectors' edition and its now sitting on my shelf next to Collectors Far Cry 2 & a space for Balls of Steel Edition Duke Nukem Forever.

I bought the dead money add on recently, and enjoyed its glitch free gameplay, I just wish the main game was as reliable!

Yeah hopefully they'll fix all the bugs soon.

I'm currently playing Marvel Vs Capcom 3, awesome game!
And Playing Sonic Colours on Wii the best sonic game since Sonic heroes in my opinion! Bring on Sonic Generations !

I play FM as well, but it can be too easy sometimes. I went the entire season unbeaten with Everton on FM 2005 once (when our team was... a bit weak, even if we did finish 4th that year!), amassing 100 points (W31 D7) in the process and failing to win against only Man U. My favourite version is 07, although that's more to do with having only played Demos of later games! The other football game I play is ISS2 on the GCN; give me a direct free kick at your peril (Batistuta FK = GOAL, even at almost 50yds!).

Elsewhere, I went through Sunshine a few weeks ago almost non-stop and without collecting one single secret or unnecessary Shine until after saving Peach; I've gone through the Master version of Zelda: Ocarina of Time without help or dying (really pleased with that! :D); as said before, I've played Pokémon White almost to death; both Sonic Adventures; etc...

And also Open TTD. Except I prefer to make my own maps (I never did finish that Liverpool one :() and then play them to death. I have hit 1,000 performance points in 63 years before now.

And Mojo: Like 444 said, that's no BHM! It's too small :lol:

I never said it was BHM. I said it was in the style of BHM because I had plonked a building on top.

I tried making a station like BHM but came to the conclusion it wouldn't work. I built a huge town and still had to demolish 75% of it to fit the station in!

You managed to finish it? I haven't played it for years, but I think I'm quite far in. Who was the fake Mario after all?

I hope that's sarcastic! :lol: It gets revealed inside a couple of hours, when Peach gets her hapless kidnapped for the 74th time (well, maybe)!

If I said that he [erroneously] calls her "Mama" and makes references to his "Papa", the latter of whom calls Mario "big, bad Mario"...

Currently been playing through the Assassins Creed Series, got to say after the Fail that was AC1, AC2 is amazing!

I've just bought AC2 on my laptop. It's very good. There's something addictive about jumping off ancient buildings and running up behind people with hand knives. :p

I certainly do, and have done ever since the old days of Championship Manager 93!

Me to - allthough it is reposnsible for leaveing me a social retarded - BUT I have guided Darlo to Champions League glory so that is ok!

There are a lot of console weasels on here. BUY A REAL COMPUTER - the games are better :D

PS been playing on line Battlefield Bad Company 2 online - very good!

Not been playing anything proper since my PC developed a habit of roasting it's own processor. Still, ought to have a new beast this weekend, all ready for BF3 and Elder Scrolls 5. The xBox has been getting a good workout with Black Ops though.

Just finished Duke Nukem forever.

Am currently at the moment playing Brink, and browsing web on steam, whilst my friend finds a server.
