Old Maid
Donkey
And dare I say it Football Manager :)
I'm going to stay off FM until 14 comes out I think! The break has done me good.
Alan wake is worth a go

Why? What could possibly go wrong?Quote:

Say hello to New Star Soccer and say goodbye to bus/desk/toilet seat boredom.
I actually paid money for the version on my samsung phone :/
It's even better on the PCQuote:

I used to work nightporter in a quiet enough pub/b&b last year, all I ever did was play New star Soccer! Quality little game.
I've spent the whole day looking for excuses to leave my desk.
New Star seems to be free on the iTunes store. Will give it a lash.
Well, if you fancy an old classic, it's hard to beat going over the Half-Life series again. Did it a couple of months ago and forgot just how enjoyable (yet altogether frustrating) they can be.
My all time favourites are:
Rome:Total War (You can make it even better with the Total Realism mod. What. A. Game.)
Fallout: New Vegas (Current addiction, again with tonnes of mods)
Age of Mythology (Old but good)
C-Evo (Free download, based on the old civilisation games from the mid '90s. Simple, addictive, and brutally hard on the first few playthroughs)
New Star Soccer (For the reasons discussed)
Timesplitters 2/3 (On the PS2. Me and my bro wasted more of our lives than I'd care to mention shooting ducks, monkeys, cowboys and improbably-proportioned medieval damsels)
Championship Manager 01/02 (Too cheap and set in my ways to buy a newer version, so just get the player updates. Had a project a while back to see how high I could get the LOI's coefficient if I managed several teams at once. Second ranked league in Europe and this memorable scoreline were the results: http://foot.ie/attachment.php?attach...4&d=1308843953
I wouldn't be a massive gamer and tend to be about two years behind current releases, but I loved both Portal games.
Axis an Allies. Two player and you play either side. I have had games go on for 12+ hours. http://axisandalliesworldclub.net/forums/ You download the game from here.
Grand theft auto being released as an online game. That'll be interesting.
Just bought and downloaded Kerbal Space Programme, possibly the nerdiest thing I've ever done, but I'm absolutely loving it so far!
I sometimes wish i'd read into things more before getting excited about it.Quote:

For anyone else interested we are looking for new players to come and join Ireland in this free MMOG Browser Game.
Link to the game: http://primera.e-sim.org/lan.151244/
E-Sim is a simulation of modern world. You can become a virtual citizen of one of 51 virtual countries and participate in it's political, military and economical life.
You can become an ordinary soldier, company owner or run for presidential seat and become the leader of the whole country. Help your country in wars and battles.
Ireland needs you :P
haha, we had a good run ****ing Slovenia off in fairness :P
The game was grand for the few months building an empire but we kind of reached a ceeling that we couldn't improve upon then so most of us lost interest, hence the madness of the last month or so :D
I seen Final Fantasy XIII in a shop for 8 quid today so thought I'd give it a try even knowing it got bad reviews. I can now confirm that said reviews are correct. Enix have molested a once great franchise..
I hear XIII-2 is better thou. X was the last one I really enjoyed.
Wasn't a good FF game after the birth of the ps2 imo.Quote:

should try football chairman for android/iphone
or of course pre-order fm14 and get access to the beta
Ah now, how'd I manage that..Quote:

That football chairman game seems to be pretty popular, I'm half afraid to start playing these games again thou, I'll lose what shred of a real life I do have.
I bought my first ever android phone yesterday, I'm such an auld man.
football chairman is great game but nearly everytime i seem to go broke, and fm is very addicting tho in the new 1 got longford promoted straight away and they wouldnt renew my contract
Sure Tony might experience the same fate in a weeks time too, very realistic if so :P
i was thinking it was a bit to realistic aswell but i did get to bring sully, josh and rhys on to my next management job
Addictive!!!!Quote:

spelling was never my strong point, my manager still wasnt happy after winning the premier league
Them vidgeo games on the sega megasplaybox computer have all you kids ruined I tells ye..Quote:

Just got promoted to League One and I'm finding it tough going. Thankfully the other teams I got promoted with (Gillingham, Port Vale) are equally as crap.
Hopefully I will scrape out of the bottom three. Have money issues now. Crowds are dwindling as I'm crap. Over draft is at 400k out of 700k.
EEK!
good bye to your team so, took me 4 teams to get it right
Managed to just keep my head above water. In the Championship now for my third season. This could be make or break. Crowds are dwindling in my 13000 seater. Barely covering weekly costs.
