Had a browse through the lounge and taking inspiration from Tommy Bingham talking about retro gaming in his thread I thought it might be cool to see if there was any interest in a general gaming thread. We're talking anything from PC/XBOX/PS3/NINTENDO/SEGA and any other form of computer gaming old, current or future you can think of. Not sure if there are many gamers on Blonde but theres only one way to find out. Although I don't get much time to play these days (and am not particularly great at computer games when I do play) I do still enjoy sitting down and playing some PC/XBOX from time to time.
Lets do this.......

Other than on the mobile, I don't do gaming anymore. Used to be an absolute Nintendo nut. Many moons ago, I knew every move for every character. Would struggle to tell you one or two for each now. |

A retro gaming tournament would be sick! I quite liked TB's idea about perhaps doing it for charity, but can't see it taking off in the immediate future (I hope I'm wrong).
In more recent gaming news, I purchased the newish Tomb Raider game for xbox and have to say I was very impressed. The graphics are amazing and the story line certainly made me want to carry on playing. It wasn't the longest game I've every played, but there is a multiplayer online Halo style that I haven't had a go at yet. For those of you who enjoyed either Hit Man or the original Tomb Raider games, I would defo recommend giving it a go.
I also bought Formula One Stars (or w/e its called, the karting one) about 10mins ago and I am hoping its like Mario Kart / Crash Team Racing. Another rubbish review to follow no doubt!!! For those of you with xbox live, pretty sure I'm tomsom87 on there too!

Great Thread.
I used to absolutely love PES, but now I'm a FIFA nut and have absolutely done my conkers on their ultimate team.
Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat/Shinobi reminds me when it was 10p for a game at the arcades.

Not played video games in years but I was the boss on Tekken 2. My friends and I played a game called 'Tekken Flick Nose' where the loser of the game got a painful flick on the nose from his opponent. I had a run of about 72 games unbeaten in that, and when I finally was defeated, my mate missed my nose trying to set up a elaborate flick.
Life went downhill after that.

I used to play video games all the time in my youth. Still do a fair bit but nowhere near as much as I used to.
Currently I'm playing through Ni No Kuni. Anyone who is in to RPGs might want to take a look.
As far as Tekken goes the ones I remember most were 2 and 3. My favourite character in 2 was Michelle. In 3 it was Julia. How happy was I when Tekken Tag came out and I could play as them both at the same time!!

Just looked at this and I'm not sure that I dare download it!!!! I think if I do I might be saying goodbye to many hours. Great Thread.

TY. I only really played the first PES, I think the whole R. Lacros, D. Backhim thing put me off!!!! Really enjoyed FIFA 12 and spent a lot of time playing that. FIFA 13 didn't really catch my attention that much and although I have played it a bit, I've played it nowhere near as much as I did its predecessor. I imagine it wont be too long before FIFA14 shows up now. |

Impossible! Surely? The later levels just get daft with no room for error whatsoever. |

In fact, I still have my PS1 disc which works in my PS3. As far as I'm aware it's pretty much the closest port to the arcade version. My least favourite levels as I recall were 63 (you had to bubble up the sides with space invaders raining fire down) and level 99 (which was just evil full stop). |
