edd_t Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've got all the originals somewhere of carmageddon 1 & 2, and the "splat pack", and TDR which was the best for driving, but the worst for running people over - they just wouldn't die! just found a demo download of Carmageddon 2. that'll have to do for now i guess.

Ark Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Oh yeah, I don't think any of them work on XP though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ahh the memories we used to play a lot of duke nukem on the network at college We used to play that so much we even came up with "Duke Nukem hand", which was an infliction that occurred when you'd been playing for hours on end until the early hours of the morning and your hand had become accustomed to being in the same position on the keys Carmageddon does work ok in XP. You can even run it with the "-hires" switch nowadays (I don't think there were PC's powerful enough to run it in High Res mode when it first came out!). Networked multiplayer games however sometimes suffer from "Random acts of God", inexplicably falling through the floor etc. which only add to the amusement edit: Oh and I hated Carmageddon 2. TDR was much better, but still not as fun multiplayer as the original IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 could be... I think we must have started it and then gone back to Doom at the time... couldn't remember the name of it though... Heretic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Heretic? Yes, that's the one!! I was thinking Hexan?? it was definitely Heretic... I liked the gun in Doom better though... Thanks for the closure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 I think Hexen was the first incarnation, and Heretic being the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Two of the lads I work with got it on Friday... expect a second hand review tomorrow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Review : it's really good. These two are saying it's 'the best graphics they've ever seen'... fast and furious apparently.. but it's a little restrictive on the 'diving for cover' mechanism - you can't duck or jump.. hmmm... Think I'll ask Santa for this one... well, this and Tony Hawks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Think I'll ask Santa for this one... well, this and Tony Hawks.. Is this the actual Santa? Only you've used up your 'santa' quota already I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Is this the actual Santa? Only you've used up your 'santa' quota already I think. No, this is 'actual' Santa... in Greenland or whatever..

psymon Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Gears of War Got this on release day which was Friday. I have gone through two sets of batteries for my controller over the weekend. As I have done nothin else but play this game. Graphics are top quality and some of the best Ive seen on the 360. Single player campaign comprises of 3 levels of difficulty Normal, Hardcore, and Insane. 5 chapters which take you though the story and each consist of 10 mini chapters which link nicely between each other. Story is good , lenghtly and of the usual save the world. Very atmospheric. 10 multiplayer maps for XBOX Live and this is where the game really comes into it own. Although limited to a max of 8 players, the graphics stay the same quality with no lag. There are 3 game types Warzone Up to 4 players each side, team game. Slaughter the opposing team Execution Up to 4 players each side has a captain. Kill the teams captain to win Assination Same as warzone except players re-spawn once killed The maps are very detailed and balanced for both sides. It has an 18 cert and with full gore on, its amazing blood fest that you would expect. It is IMHO and probably be the new Halo, until Halo3 comes out. And it will have to deliver to beat this game. If you only buy one shooter this year this is the one. Play have it on special today for 35 notes. That pretty much covers it bar the weapons, theres a few but cant remember them all cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Assination is this for the ghey online gaming community? all jokes aside i may well have to get this, the the 360 in the house isn't even mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll come up with the goods... The real Mr Clause lives in Lapland. Greenland Santa just promises things he can't deliver. Similar to Farepak I believe.
