My current games

[floppybootstomp]

Installed on main rig.

Have a whole shedload of stuff installed on two other machines including loads of retro but this is the selection currently residing on my main rig hard drive.

I could probably safely uninstall quite a few here, doubtful I'll play some any more:

Nerd? Me? Haha

LOL not at all you just have a big hard drive hehee

Not really, 300Gb, comprised of a pair of 150Gb Velicoraptors in RAID 0.

All the non-Steam games I install to my storage drive, a 500Gb flava.

Hmm, I was being a very sensible Hector there wasn't I?

Since first post I've picked up a few on the cheap, around six quid each:

The Witcher Enhanced Edition
Dead Space
Just Cause 2

I bought The Witcher when it first came out and it was a bit crap, odd gameplay and riddled with bugs, so I sold it.

The re-released (enhanced) edition has actually turned this into a half decent game. It's a competent rpg with acceptable graphics, it ain't no Oblivion but it's worth playing.

Dead Space I don't like. Has the most flakey control system I've come across for a while, it's just too awkward to control. I doubt if I'll go back to this one, it'll probably end up stored with all me other junk or I may try and flog it on flea bay.

Just Cause 2 is a blast The controls are a bit hit and miss sometimes, especially the grappling hook, but the emphasis here is on fun. Smash and blow everything up! Yay! I'm just starting the third mission, joined my first faction on the island. Well worth the money.

I've just watched a trailer for Just Cause 2 and it looks a hoot .

I see it's only a fiver on Amazon so I may pick this up after xmas - PC games really do come down in price quick don't they!

Dead Space is a brilliant game on console.....can't believe you don't like it Flopp's. Survival horror in space with parts in zero grav.....brilliant on console.

Well, seems Dead Space is just another cheapo console port fpr PC.

Believe me, it don't work on PC and yet I've read good console reviews for it.

It cost me a fiver, fair price to pay for a gamble, but I'd have been well cheesed off if I'd paid full price for it.

Like Metro 2033 for instance

Gotta say it does look like a good game though but here we have a strange situation where mouse and keyboard control on PC is as bad as gamepad control on console with this game.

Maybe thinking only buy games that offer demos in the future cos it seems to me that for every little gem there's a few turkeys wrestlin' for your money

I thought Mafia 1 was fantastic when I first played it, really captured that feel and time perfectly in my opinion, I've got number 2 for the PS3, but its for Christmas so can't play it until then.

Does anyone remember a PC game called Desperados ?. I loved it but was disappointed when they released a 3D version as every review said it had so many flaws. I still like the 2D original though and still own it.

There was even a Demo given away with Kellogs Cornflake packets about 7 - 8 years ago (Maybe more, I'm getting old), contained a full level which wasn't available to play on the Full Retail game, so I can say I truly own the full game. Haha ha ha ha.

And No, you can't have it lol

Yep, bought it at the time, didn't like it, sold it. Me not fond of stealth games, I like dem bull-in-a-china-shop style games meself

I know there was a Thief II, have a feeling there may also have been a Thief III but not sure.

I will say it was a good game, just not for me.
