I was just charged for my MAG preorder, meaning it shipped. I might get it early!

 

[Styxx]

But maybe they just took your money and are sending you nuffink. Ever think of that?

What's MAG anyways?

 

[Keenan]

Considering that its from Gamestop, that thought has crossed my mind several times.

Its like...... Counter-Strike, but with 256 people. AND NO LAG. (that part being the most important). Its amazing. I was in the beta, and can say for sure that I found more enjoyable that Call of Duty.

Alot of people are bashing it though..... I don't see it selling well, except to people who were in the beta, and old Socom players. *sigh*

Also, FF7, where the hell is the City of the Ancients?

 

[Styxx]

Hah, I was kidding Hope it does come then. Sounds like a good one.

Socom is the reasons to get a PS3, such great games. On BF2142 when you get a 64 man game going its great fun so 256, far from being chaotic should be brilliantly open maps, considering how big they were in BF to cater for 64 people and a few vehicles over Suez Canal, so sounds fun to me.

Oh and you should get audiosurf on PC if you don't already. Its like guitar hero but better and you can ride any song.

Can't remember if I posted this before:

It's pretty cool. The only thing is it's a bit out of sync, which kinda ruins it, but I like the way you play with the keyboard

 

[Spacedeck]

This reminds me of a game called Frets on Fire

Isn't that up in the north where you gotta have a flute to wake the sleeping forest to get through it?

 

[Keenan]

Aerith said soomething about the Sleeping Forest, so that sounds about right. Thanks.

 

[Chipmonkcheeks]

FoF is great. So is AUDIOSURF. Someone get it so i can beat you at it.

 

[D.Ingram]

The Temple of the Ancients is down south, relatively close to Fort Condor. The Sleeping Forest/The Forgotten Capital is on the northern continent.

 

[Keenan]

Anyone play Tomb Raider Underworld? Its REALLY cheap on Amazon and I was thinking of getting it.....

 

[D.Ingram]

Don't bother, my mate JD has been a massive TRfan for years and he says it's utter gant. Just replay TR2

 

[Styxx]

I still haven't played TR1 properly. I think I got to like, level 3 at my mate's house when I was a kid. They do a pack with all of them now though, might have to invest in that one.

 

[Keenan]

I got to the end of Tomb Raider 1 in like 5th grade, and had to use cheats

 

[Chipmonkcheeks]

Mass Effect 2 got 98 on Metacritic. Almost too high..............

hope its actually 35 hours. Last game they said 20 and i finished it in 8.

 

[Keenan]

That game does not interest me at all.

Just completed Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time. Pretty fun game, not a real Final Fantasy though, it felt more like Kingdom Hearts but with different characters and story.
