And what are they like??

Ive got PGR3 (fantastic other than the cars are too damn fast..i loved the wider range of cars on goth 2)

King Kong (which I play with my 4 year old son who is spellbound by it...Its linear but has great atmosphere)

Condemned (nearly finished and plyed at night on your own will make you jump and really gets the hairs standing on end!!Brutal too...just got the meat cleaver)

Perfect Dark Zero..(great graphics...but fps controls are hard with these controllers..fun in multiplayer too)

Ive also got the fight night demo which is just sheer brilliance.

PGR3 - Legendary. Cr4p loading times, lost a little of the PGR2 magic.

COD2 - Good single player, great graphics, bad multiplayer (no lobbies, bad lag), sat on shelf since finished on single player.

Tiger Woods 2006 - Great graphics, quick loading times. Get's slow and boring though, keeping COD2 company on the shelf.

Quake 4 - Oh dear, relieved the boredom for a while, but it is also now a resident of the shelf. However, due to the lack of games to play, I am sure it will get another outing.

In short, PLEASE BRING OUT SOME DECENT GAMES !!

Halo 3 is the one I need

Had King Kong which I swapped with UKBob, was short and sweet, much like Kameo which I swapped it for,

So currently got Kameo plus:

Amped 3, good fun but not played it since 100%ing it.

COD2 awesome stuff, but like the others it has been sat on the shelf since romping through on Veteran, will wait for a year or so once most of the memories have gone and then rip through it again.

Tiger Woods, Played it for a bit over christmas but not much since, started going online with Mates though which is really good fun, especially with my Chuck Norris player model..

PGR3, done it all, but still good when I feel like ripping round the streets in something exotic.

NFS:MW, great fun, best with a few mates over, turning the police up to their maximum level and seeing who can survive the longest without being busted.

Perfect Dark Zero, playing less and less of it but still good fun when you've got a good room of people online. Story was ok the once but the levels just don't scream replay like Goldeneye used to (the amount of times I did the first couple of levels on that over and over again.

Got loads of the Arcade games too which I play a lot more than the big titles i've got, Geometry wars is more addictive than crack.

Also been playing the Madden and Fight Night demos, both of which are great, so have ordered fight night, along with Ghost Recon and Oblivion, so March should be a good month for games.

I've got PGR3 at the moment which I love but agree with PP that it has lost some of the magic by not having cars that you (or me at least ) have a realistic chance of owning.

I also have COD2 which I am trying (and mostly failing) to get through on veteran before I chop it in for Fight Night 3 which looks amazing. I'm only going to trade it in because I can't work out if there is a way to fight just your mates online rather than a bunch of randoms who kill you in a second.

PGR3 - I like but not played for a few weeks

Ridgracer 6 - totally different to PGR3, trying to complete then will swap

DOA4 - pretty cool game online is great but very difficult.

Perfect Dark Zero - online is a good laugh, can set up server and invite friends.

Tony Hawks - only buy if you like the tony hawks series, I do so im ok, nothing special all the same.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted has to be one of the most fun games I have played in a long, long time. Bit chavvy, but oh what a laugh. Give it a spin...

Seconded! Love it Makes PGR3 seem dead easy/slow to play afterward?

Haven't got any other titles yet. Nothing really appeals other than condemned?

COD2 - Like it a lot, finished on normal difficulty, about 2/3 finished on hardcore - been stuck on the same checkpoint for a while so hasn't been played for a few weeks.

PGR3 - Amazing graphics and car control really good, but I don't like the competitions, too many stupid races where you have to do a few powerslides and get points, and not enough proper races. Has sat on the shelf for a while.

PDZ - Played it twice and decided it was utter and complete shite. The graphics are gawky and silly, the gameplay is annoying and the controls are stupid and unintuitive. Has been in the box since but I will probably give it another chance sometime.

Quake 4 - Almost finished it. It's a great game but flawed - the loading times are unacceptable. It takes about 30secs - 1 min to load a level and when you die it has to load the whole level again. So if you're unlucky and die immediately (easily possible as it's tricky in places) you could spend 2 minutes of loading for a few seconds of gameplay. Absolutely unacceptable!. The graphics are also very slow in parts. The parts of the game where you're in a vehicle are too easy and linear = dull. They tried to do what was done in Half-Life 2 and failed miserably.

I have the demo of Condemned and it's pretty good, very atmospheric but I wondered if there's more to the game than walking around derelict buildings tw@ing junkies with a pipe.

neil..re. condemned....actually there isnt much more!! but im still really enjoying it.

Its got a gritty realistic feel.. a real nasty shit of a game.

I play it for about an hour a night..the story is interesting..very film like.

BTW ..its ot just pipes

Ive had a fire axe, a sledgehammer, a shotgun (not many bullets ever) , a conduit, a clothes rack and best best of all

a meat cleaver.

Dont play it in front of the wife (or kids) ..she will think you are sick.

Good innit! Best game too imho

Kong (swapped with steve evil for Kameo). The best part of the game is being terrified when the T Tex is chasing you.

PDZ - had it since day one, only played it for a few hours. FPS controls are too fiddley, if you've been using a moust for 10 years and are used precision headshots and a faster paced game

PGR - best 360 game. Online play is great, and there is infinite possibility to shave even more miliseconds off each lap, however good you are.

NFSMW is an ok game. Not a fan of all the stickers and bodykits and the way the cars handle and react. In my opinion anyone can pickup play NFSMW happily in minutes and i don't think as time went on i really "perfected" my skills in it. Whereas PGR3 you really can improve and it is about taking the perfect racing line rather than just using Nos.
