My god WarZ Alpha is messed up. The spawning zones are just a huge torch death match.

Link for the lazy.

The game itself has a lot of potential. The large downfall it has is the community tbh. I'd say 90% of the people who are in the Alpha are there to play a game, not test it and get it ready for release. So far the Zombies take anywhere between 15 and 30 blows to the head to down with melee (yes only head shots can kill them) but players can only take around 2 to 4 hits in melee before they die. Feels more like an oversight to me as a tweaking something like this so much shouldn't have been needed.

Also, not sure on the footage Mikasa mentioned, but there's a live stream up here.

Playing Dishonored, The Walking Dead and Borderlands 2 at the moment. Probably enjoying Walking Dead more then the other two but they're all awesome. Borderlands would be great if I had live, so currently playing solo.

You're really splashing out, aren't you, Aldric?

Heresy!

The only shortcoming of Dishonored is that it's not 10x longer, but it's otherwise the best game out now!

Walking Dead got rather boring rather fast, not a fan of the gameplay. Still need to play Borderlands and Xcom.. But exams coming up so that'll have to wait.

I can't wait for the full package of Walking Dead games and I'm saving playing them till then. I love point and click adventures. The Monkey Island series are some of the best games ever created.

Borderlands 2 is better with a friend, but so far for me that has been my game of the year! Still waiting on my bloody loan to get Dishonoured.

by **Humphry** Wed Oct 17, 2012 7:20 am

Personally I find the Walking Dead game to be one of my favorite games of all time, I have always loved point and click adventure games and Zombies in many different kinds of media. And I really like the take they've taken with the adventure game.

As for Borderlands, I just find that series rather tedious and boring. I really tried to like it, I really wanted to, but I just can't enjoy it.

by **Aldric Essalus Helmfrid** Wed Oct 17, 2012 12:13 pm

I'v only clocked two hours into Dishonored, played episode one of Walking Dead (Bought all 4 episodes) and a few hours into Borderlands 2. I might pick up a second controller and buy that 'Girlfriend' class and play co op with Jen. I just feel the game would be so much better with co op. Though my only annoyance with Borderlands 2 right now is the erm.. Aspect ratio (?) or whatever. I can't see that much on the screen and for an fps it's sometimes annoying. Like the field of view or whatever. I am playing on a large TV too which amplifies the shortcoming. Feels like my character has tunnel vision haha.

And Lorainne, I spent £70 on video games to keep myself occupied as I'm not going out drinking for a while. Needed to cut down, it's starting to make me ill :S

by **Vaell** Wed Oct 17, 2012 12:55 pm

You sound like you're playing in the wrong aspect ratio Razz

by **Aldric Essalus Helmfrid** Wed Oct 17, 2012 12:57 pm

Sounds like it to me too! But I'm on Xbox and there's no settings for it as far as I can see :\

by **Lavian** Wed Oct 17, 2012 2:29 pm

I "finally" got around to playing Mass Effect 3 and completing it.

Just waiting for Halo 4. These games can all go into the attic as soon as that comes out.

I am starting to question your taste in games now.

Does anybody know a good simulation/strategy game similar to Victoria II?

Hearts of Iron - sort of. Much more of a focus on war.

Civilisation obviously.

by **Mikasa** Wed Oct 17, 2012 6:49 pm

Wait for EU4. It looks like they're doing a great job with the game, so it's gonna be awesome when it's released!

by **Dréfurion** Wed Oct 24, 2012 11:11 pm

He doesn't make it sound too bad.
