Sadly no, the store closed before I got there. I've got an appointment with my optometrist tomorrow at 12:00, so I'll pick one up then Smile

Good luck woth both things!
My copy of fifa died tonight! Or possibly the save file not sure- seizes up and just freezes whenever try to go to the team management screen (which you have to do before a match). So tonights games had to be called off sadly. I blame EA, microsoft and the god of computer failures. Certainly wasn't my fault!

Not played fifa since the 98 or 99 game, so I'm not familiar with the problem. Be careful, though, you don't want to wreck another crabbit meter over a game!

Crabbit meter explosion was recorded approximately 35 minutes ago resulting in a fifa disc being launched into a low orbit upon a fireball to the accompaniment of a lot of cursing.

Not that far into the game yet (just got my second promotion), but liking it so far Very Happy It's a little short on things to do if you're not investigating a case, though, but I guess I've got GTA and RDR for that.

Well, I almost became a religious man today! I'm helping my mother move and what do I find? My old copy of Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive - and it works Very Happy I've got no idea how many hours or days I spent playing this game when it came out - definitely one of my all-time favourite games Very Happy Anyone else played this gem among games?

Some screenshots from the game:



Well, that's all the time I could spare - I'm off to 2001 again to play this fantastic game Very Happy

Name rings a bell but screenshots don't. Trying to track it down now on some classic game sites.

Best western game ever made (next to Red Dead Redemption, perhaps, but I give technology most of the credit for that Wink ). The gameplay is very similar to Commandos if you've played that (another great game). I think I can hear the kettle boiling, so now I'm off Smile

I liked commandos so should like this then! Managed to find it and downloading now- got win7 so no idea if I can get it to run but will have a go.

Hope you find a mouse, gaming with a touchpad just ain't on. Mad

Found one Smile I'm running it on Windows 7, so that shouldn't be a problem. If you liked Commandos and you like Westerns you should like this game too Smile There is a tutorial for each character that can be pretty slow, but once you've got all the characters and finish the tutorials, the game is really good (could be I'm saying all this because of nostalgia, but like I said, if you liked Commandos you'll like this game too Wink )

By the way, I recommend saving regularly - I had forgotten about that, and just learned it the hard way Smile

Skyrim. Due out 11/11/11. Can't wait looks like another cracker in the Elder Scrolls series.
