    Me too, I wanted to like FC2 because of the reviews it got, but it was installed and uninstalled the same day.

    Yeah I hate it when you buy a game because of good reviews and you find that you've just bought a repetative game that pretends to be non-linear but it is linear.:blink

    Check out this one then, Runes of Magic. I found out about it today and one reviewer said it's a lot like WOW.

    You could also play Guild Wars. With no monthly fees you can play as much or as little as you want.

    Nugg - thanks for the recommendation - I'll check it out. Though short-term worry for any game (as with Fallout 3 - which I hadn't considered so thanks Ken) is that my lappy isn't that strong on playing Oblivion - anything more recent and I'll be struggling. But I'm bang on course to be out of debt early next year, so I'll be putting together a basic gaming rig to placate my occasional gaming urges... Unless I can get either on the Wii :wink: will check later

    The plan was Halo 3 (xbox) online, but the other half got me Too Human for the xbox for Christmas, so I think I'll be playing that. Not a huge PC gamer - the biggest downside to using a Mac.:cry:

    I don't trust magazine reviews all that much. Sure they are good inidicators but essentially you are still spending money on a product based on someone else's opinion who's tastes may not be the same as yours.

    It doesn't always work like that though. It's how my friend bought Dick Tracy on the C64. And at 'full price' no less too!!!!! :eek:

    Well since my 360 is at a friends house (from LAN's) the only game that I'll be playing is WoW. It is a really good game.

    I'm already stuck in with Sacred 2, loving it. You won't be seeing alot of me here for a while :biggrin

    Also got the WiiFit for Christmas, not bad; according to WiiFit I'm 39 years old, so only 9 nines older than what I am :) Looking forward to buying Raving Rabbit 3 to use with my WiiBoard.

    Just knocked down Drake's Fortune on the PS3, and about 90% done with GoW2 on the 360. Next up is MGS4 (PS3) and Dead Space (360). I haven't done this much gaming in years....

    I think judging from the above I can say you're the gamer of CF:) 2008 for both high spec consoles.

    In theory Force Unleashed and Bioshock on the PS3, but in reality have become addicted to my son's Lego Batman and Little Big Planet. Hey Ho.
