Like you Whiterabbitt I have been disabled for the last 3 years (though not housebound), so I've become a game junkie. I am finally better (keep fingers crossed) and hope to get back to work soon. To do this and stop neglecting other things like housework and my husband, I must make my New Years Resolution:</p> <p>To play less on the computer and re-introduce myself to my hubby and the rest of the world, lol.</p> <p>It is all about sacrifices after all. :-)</p> <p>Keri </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4512#post-48190 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 03:52:46 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 48190@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Pookie, that's one of the few big games of the last year that I'vre not got into. I nearly bought it for the kids, but a friend bought it and was not impressed. I may download ademo sometime and check it out. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4512#post-48182 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 02:14:34 +0000 Pookie 48182@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Whiterabbit, Did you ever play Spore? If you did, what did you think of it? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4512#post-48180 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 01:27:20 +0000 NolafromNZ 48180@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I too, have a New Year's resolution regarding games. I have downloaded hundreds of free games that I have yet to try! Like you Stephen, I have an obsession with collecting games, but only the genres that appeal like platform, match 3, RPGs and the like. (No war games, not many shooters either) So, I intend to install a game every day and play it all that day unless it stinks and can be deleted. Or, if I really love it, I will keep playing it rather than download another the next day.</p> <p>I too, will report back, but I think I know already that I will break this resolution, lol. But, I will have a lot of fun meanwhile.</p> <p>And, that's another resolution - to have more fun! These games should help with that, as will the pool my daughter and I bought for Christmas. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4512#post-48168 Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:54:02 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 48168@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I thought I'd set this one up for a bit of fun. I expect anyone posting to come back in six months to say whether they stuck to it, lol</p> <p>======================================================================</p> <blockquote><p>My new year’s resolution is that I have to start playing the vast number of DVD based games that I've bought since being house bound following my road traffic accident.</p> </blockquote> <p>I've spent an inordinate amount of money on games, both downloadable arcade games and games on DVD's to the tune of several thousand pounds over the last three years. To be honest I think I've become a bit of a kleptomaniac, because whenever I see a game that remotely interests me I'll buy it immediately; but rarely actually play it, apart from when I first get it; mainly to see what it's like; then it gets shelved or backed up in the case of the downloadable arcade game. Even big name games like <strong>Crysis</strong>, <strong>GTA IV</strong> (<em>though it did get me re-installing all the earlier titles of which I have every one, including the now free <strong>GTA I</strong> and <strong>GTA II</strong>, and I even played <strong>GTA III</strong>, which is basically the earlier version of the latest game <strong>Liberty City</strong></em>) and <strong>Call of Duty</strong> (both last years block buster <strong>COD4: Modern Combat</strong> and the recently released <strong>COD: World at War</strong>) haven't been played yet despite buying them on pre-order.</p> <p>I buy all my DVD based games from a UK outlet that can get the games to me in just over a day. Over the last four weeks I've bought over 16 DVD base games alone (helped along with the Christmas spirit, and at least a third of those were for my children), plus several downloadable arcade games, yet only a couple of them have been played. Two arcade games called <strong>Hidden World of Art</strong> and <strong>Strike Ball 3</strong> (<em>neither are actually on general release yet and are only availablee to beta testers</em>) and a DVD based game called <strong>Escape from Paradise City</strong>, a sort of RPG/Strategy/Management game that reminds me a little of GTA, but from a strategic view point similar to the old isometric viewpoint.</p> <p>You can see why what appears to be a flippant resolution is in reality a sensible one. :) I'll report back in a couple of months to let you know if I succeeded in my New Years resolution. :) </p>
