No Steve - but there's more to games than the necessity to play them online

Granted, CS is good though. Each to their own....

Max has great visuals, but is a bit easy tho, finished it in a week and that includes 3 days/2 nights at the world superbikes at Brands.
no multiplayer, b funny if it did, everyone slow mo jumping around matrix styley hehe

yeah i guess there might be.....hang on what am i saying !!

i enjoy the odd single player game - playing a bit of Cossacks currently. also still enjoy the odd session of SAWT3 / Rainbow 6.

and GT3 is a tough one to resist.

i played op flashpoint for a full day sometime ago.

Have to say i don't think its much cop.

Seemed to get sniped from so far away i couldnt even see the enemy (yes i was lying down and on full sniper zoom and still getting shot).

I think the magazines lack of decent games in the summer (kinda normal) has led them to choose this as one of the best of a very poor bunch.

Thumbs up

Started playing Max P on thursday its a bit difficult to put down thats for sure. I like the added touches like the vibrating beds, drum kit, toilets etc that all work with the use key. Good game play not too sure of the dream sequence stage though.

Dont worry Steve still I am still playing CS.

Taff i looked everywhere!!

your sargeant guy says enemy 2 oclock or whatever, im on full zoom cant c a thing next thing im dead !

At least when you die it shows you where they were so when you re-try you have a rough idea!

As for the dream/drug induced sequences in Max Payne, they are a pain the a**e theres a multi level one later in the game that i hated with a passion.

Could someone tell me what is the best UK server to play on for OFP. I had a quick search last night, but within several minutes I was drawn into playing CS

Thanks

Yeah, got to say Max Payne was absolutely brilliant to play.

I think everyone thought it didn't last long simply because people were glued to it once they installed and played it.

Just finished it last night and thought the whole thing was excellent. Runs lovely on my little KryoII too!

Can't wait for the sequel now!

Next purchase: Commandos II (PC)
