STEAM Weekend Deal

Tomb Raider is half price this weekend: Steam Tomb Raider (over 18s only I'm afraid)

Gotta be worth a punt. £14.99 is reasonable I'd say. I'm a bit skint right now though so I've allowed myself Mini Motor Racing EVO which looks to be a good laugh at £5.59.

Anyone else interested? Mr Toad? Jaxx?

God you buy some [censored]




Mind you i should not say that based on the rubbish i bought the past few years

Alas, for me, those are about as exciting as watching someone watch someone watching paint dry.

I may get Resident Evil 7 (if reviews are good), and Metro 2033 (again, only if reviews are good), and especially if there are demos, but that's about it.

Not interested in Lara's latest outing then, Mr Toad? I'd like to get it but I'm concerned about the dollars at the minute...

Yeah. Look who's talking!!!

I know you're not the world's biggest driving game fan are ya matey? Just look at the q'ute w'ittle cars though. They're so w'ovely! Reminds me of the pull back to wind up cars that you could buy when I was little. Ah, fond memories. You can tell I'm in the midlife crisis age bracket can't you?

No - never have been. Played it once on the PS1 and have never looked at it again...

You can not compare some rubbish 16 bit game with the tomb raider of today,the new tomb raider is one of the best games i have played in a long time and well worth the investment.

Focus is Action orientated and not to much in tomb exploring,but its a mighty fine game and well worth the money unlike so many others that aint worth a dime.

The PS1 was a 32-bit machine...

But the Nintendo 64 was 64bit

And had 64 users!

Ah, brings back fond memories of Skidmarks on Amiga: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDR8osIbqVI

And some brilliant game like Goldeneye,Blast corps,Zelda Orcana ,turok Dinosaur Hunter.

I was trying to be funny,32bit or whatever it was you can not compare that Tomb Raider with the one of today because they are worlds apart.

Yeah nothing like a Spam Sandwich with pickle

What he says is true anyway.........Have you played the game.........No

Reminds me of an old 4 player arcade game back in the late 80s which I forget the name of but was really cool for the time. Truly multiplayer games were a rarity those days...

You are probably thinking of the Amiga/ST top-down game (not Skidmarks or SuperSprint), unfortunately I forget it's name. It had weapons though.

With the exception of containing Lara Croft...

Super Cars (II)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWzlO7HkF3w

The arcade game I was thinking of did look like that but I'm not sure if it was the same thing, it didn't have all the other non-racing stuff added I don't think. It was a long long time ago but it's definitely a good contender for what Mr Toad was thinking I imagine.

Ah yeah, arcade game. Thought I'd mention Super Cars II as it was a similar top down miniature car driving game, albeit with big missiles.

micro machines?

That's the one!

That was fun too - for a short while.

No, that came much later but was a cracker of a game. Mates had that on the original Playstation. My (then 8 y/o) sister had Micro Maniacs and used to kick my ass whenever I was down for a visit. Fond memories.

Yeah, they were big missiles for sure. I haven't even gotten round to playing my latest acquisition yet. It looks good though and you can edit tracks so I thought that might be a nice thing to get into. Still tempted to check out the Tomb Raider deal... yargh. Temptation!

I'd say the latest Tomb Raider is good, but not great. Certainly worth playing. 7.5/10.

Well, I caved in and bought TR. Naughty me.

Yeah, I'd have preferred Bioshock Infinite but that's double the price so that's gonna have to wait. I can hear T2D muttering right about now, "Tight fecker. Calls himself a gamer? He hasn't even got a console!"

Ah thanks for letting me know but I already bought Tomb Raider when it first came out. I really enjoyed it, although my only dismay was that the tombs were a bit easy. Apart from that though I thought it was a fantastic game with a good story

Cheers for that, I haven't started yet but I'm looking forward to playing the game later. Good to know you enjoyed the game. Gonna try and enjoy some of the sunshine before it disappears behind the Great British rain clouds...

Haha yep which looks like today!! It's terrible up my neck of the woods, 'orrible weather!

Yea the old one was better
Proper TR stuff

Yeah, here too. I even watered the garden last night but I needn't have. It always rains whenever I give the garden a good watering.

Well, that's it for the summer then. No more sunshine. The tan will have to wait. Next year maybe?

Now don't be Stupid the new Tomb Raider is a fantastic looking game even though it may not resemble the tomb raider of old,add to that it plays superbly and has some amazing set pieces and action oriented gameplay to boot.

Yeah i watered ours but the mrs said i should have used the toilet

Haha. Yeah, like in the film (with Anthony Hopkins) The World's Fastest Indian. He used to water his garden too, apparently the nitrogen helps make things grow.



edit: when your missus said 'get out the hose' she didn't mean that one!

Yea but it doesn't have the TR gameplay it's made its name at
I was really looking forward to the new TR game but was very disappointed with what they gave us. We was robbed I tell ya

Well pack it in then

If I did, there'd be a drought!

We had one of those last year
