I love posting my dribble about games after all it is a Gaming forum for news about the latest games on the agenda.

Believe you me mate your input is most valid and i find what you write very informative and interesting.

I say its nice to have you back Spook because on many occasions i have come on here even after 3 days and there is not one new post [besides mine] or any comments regarding games.

Think there is about 10 of us that contribute to the forums on a regular basis and i just wish others would add more input and make it a little more interesting .

Nice to come on here and read what others have to say about games besides what i have added,

I spend quite a few hours in the day trawling gaming websites for information about games on the horizon,especially ones i am interested in.

Deux looks good Spook and its another one on my pre/order list.later this month i have Crysis 2 and Homefront coming along with Playstation heroes for the move [don't laugh].

Seems to me Spook you love RPG such as Oblivion.playing it through a 3rd time you must be dead keen and dedicated

You'll never convert pc gamers except those who get lazy, there will never be a console powerful enough because the tech used to make a power console will be 4 generation old tech PC's used to use repurposed for consoles, by then there is more impressive pc tech on the market smoking it away.

The price you'd pay for a next gen console will be the cost to nudge someones pc either all the way or most the way to top end tech before you hit the pointless and high priced components.

Yeah, I'm a bit sad really. At least I'm getting my money's worth with Oblivion to have clocked up so many hours playing it. Still, I really enjoy the open explorable environments and more dynamic game setting. Sandbox gaming is what I like mostly and definitely games with a bit more of an RPG element to them so there's some flesh to the characters.

Having said that I like RPGs, I'm referring to the simple kind that aren't so different from FPSs in complexity. I never could get along with anything more complicated that Oblivion's control system. I am always reluctant to sit down and learn a load of keys and hate games that make simple actions a complicated chore.

I played KOTOR for about 5 minutes and abandoned it due to the hassle and time it took just to open a door! I know saying that is something of a blasphemy but crikey, did they really need to make it such an endeavour just to do things that ought to be automatic? I was late to playing the game which didn't help as the graphics looked cr@p so i didn't want to persevere. My explanation is my way of covering myself from attack as KOTOR was a bit of a classic and I have sinned greatly!

Nice to read your musings T2D. All that research pays off as your comments show much insight even if, like me, you're not one for working hard at learning complex game control systems though I guess this is much less so on consoles anyhow? I don't think I've ever read or hardly ever consulted a game's manual. I know it'd probably help a lot in some cases but life's too short and I'm too used to torturing myself with my ignorance.

Yeah, as I think you mentioned elsewhere, perhaps if we're all on the same platform and buying the same game (Battlefield 3 of course!!!) we can form a grumpy old men's type clan so we can all have a moan and a laugh together and take out our frustrations on all the little gobsh1tes populating our online game sessions?! Sign me up!

Dont like to admit it Falcon but i guess your right...........But we can all dream a little ?

Hehe, i should try and get into the market for my predictions, some people seem to be doing quite well out of it despite them being utter mugs coughpatchercough

This is taken from some Italian people testing the game out behind closed doors and its not the greatest quality but hey this game seriously looks amazing.

Catch it HERE

Have not really got in Battlefield games in the past but this has be really excited but its a long wait untill next Winter when this gets released.
