Currently its Silent Hill Downpour, I loved the first two games in the series but I think it lost its way after that, and I dont even play videogames as much as I used to so it takes a lot to get me playing and thankfully the latest game is very enjoyable, not quite as classic as Silent Hill 2 but a great effort.

Hey SKM, I am in the same boat, I get in trouble now if I even think of turning the xbox on. But my favourite game of all time is Resident Evil 4. Incredible game that deserved all the accolades it got.

Wow, Im the complete opposite to you, Gannon. I adored Resident Evil 1,2 and 3 but I hated 4 with a passion as they ditched the atmospheric locations and puzzle-based gameplay for an all out action fest. It may have had better looking creatures in it and more weapons but in my opinion they p!ssed all over what made the RE series so seminal- atmosphere and gameplay which required more than just gung-ho shooting. I recently downloaded RE2 again on PSN to play through again as that was my fave in the series. Im fully aware im in the minority regarding RE4 though, but I still hated it...

I can't believe it SKM. I must admit I loved the first two, but the fourth was just so much better, much much much better control system, no static locations like the first in the series and it just gets better and better as you play it. Have you played it all the way through? I especially liked the remake of the first one on the gamecube though. Six comes out at the end of the year and I am putting my foot down and playing it.

It has to be good it has Wesker's son in it.(Wesker is my favourite video game villian of all time)

I did play it all through when it came out but I hated it- everything, the new look of the zombies, the complete lack of puzzles, the nonsesne storyline and the fact it didnt even resemble an RE game. I know thats the very reason people love it but i didnt think the series had to change its roots of pre-rendered backgorunds, exquisite locations like the RPD station and the mansion, and the always-entertaining puzzles. It just tore up the rule book and turned it into an action game

As i said already, I have started to play through RE2 on PSN today and some great memories are flooding back, mind you im on Danger status already after just 2 saves, herbs were in short supply back in the day

Call of Duty(especially the last two)
Battlefield
And possibly my favourite....Resistance....all of them (played on my sons PS3)

I have to agree Silent Hill 1&2 were amazing. The plots were well thought out and almost sick to even think about. I also enjoyed SIlent Hill 3 probably because Heather was a great character. The Room was pretty good but very confusing at times. It took me a while to defeat that game. After that is went down hill sadly. I didn't know the new Silent Hill was out. You have to tell me how it is...I'm hoping it is good.

^ After the second one I kind of tuned out of the series, I thought the third was ok but a bit lacking in atmosphere, the fourth was a joke, Silent Hill Origins was poor, Restless Encounters was dire (no combat at all) but this new one Downpour seems ok so far, then I am only 3 hours into it, I will let you know if its worth watching.

I am quite addicted to Skyrim at the moment.

Half Life all the way babiessss....

I'm quite fond of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim also..

hit me up on Steam


AND I love the original Medal Of Honor..

I don't care for 4 or 5 myself..

I wonder about Operation Raccoon City? I haven't played it yet..

^ Operation Raccon is on my list when Silent Hill is done, I think its just a plain shooter through the streets of Racoon City, dont think it goes back to its roots but as far as I know, the old traditional monsters are back so might be worth playing.

Hey Tracey and SKM. I was really looking forward to Operation Racoon City, however it's supposed to be terrible. I have not played it myself, only going on general opinion. I still want to have a look at it.

@Tracey

Glad to see another Skyrim fan. I love it.
