My favourite recent film is probably Avatar, which in my opinion is an updated (and improved) remake of Dances With Wolves. Only difference being that the frontier was now space and the native Americans were now alians. I must confess to being partial to weepy films and love 'It's a wonderful life' and 'Sleepless in Seattle'. I also enjoyed the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings movies, but not as much as the books.

Final fantasy series, and Zelda(ps2) are my favourite on ps3, p s is there going to be a Zelda on ps3 ?. On p c age of empires, risk and crypt raider are great.
Pretty sure Zelda is just on Nintendo systems, its like Mario will never be seen on others, or halo on anything other than the XBOX`s (officially anyway, emulators you can play zelda on the 360)
will watch that when I get home, saw your PM but I had maxed out, when I emptied the folder, it deleted the message! (Which I assumed it wouldn't as it wasn't actually in my inbox). Hope you wouldn't mind re-sending it. @MRAWhite I've been meaning to watch LotR, but I haven't read the books so slightly worried I'll miss out. Being a huge Potter fan, I know how important reading the text before watching the film is.
not sure we're talking about the same thing, but I once had Tomb Raider (no idea which one) on PC, started in a pyramid or something, unlimited pistol ammo and a few green flares. Then you through a torch-lit passage, but the floor would fall from under you (lava pit below). On the other side, there's a locked gate, and there's a lion prowling in the room below. I always got stuck there, eventually grew frustrated and uninstalled it. Loved how when you pressed CTRL or Shift (can't remember which one) and forward, she'd stroll forward, like a model on a catwalk...
The Lord of the Rings is a far more 'deep' and drawn out read than the Potter books, and subsequently the films miss absolutely loads of things out. If you ever get round to reading The Lord of the Rings, I would suggest that you need to be patient, because it does start off rather slow, but then builds and builds into a great read. In my opinion, the films from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are nowhere near as good as the books.
The extended editions of LOTR are better, just wish they would bring them out on Blu-Ray. Never really been into Harry Potter though, read the 1st book and thought it was crap, but seemingly it gets better and darker the more you get into it, 1st book was like it was wrote for kids though.
I have read all of the Potter books with/to my 3 kids, and I believe that Joanne Rowling wrote the books with an ageing readership in mind. That is kids identifying with the characters and growing up with them. That's my opinion anyway, but they do definitely get darker as they go on.
agree. Even the first film is pretty poor, but the films take off from Chamber of Secrets (#2). My favourite film is Half Blood Prince, that's when it starts getting darker, the beginning says it all (the Death Eaters' attack on the Millenium Bridge). As an aside, I played the Prizoner of Azkaban game, never got past the 2nd Dementor attack when you're protecting Sirius by the lake. You can't move, and they're all around you, and the Patronus charm takes an absolute age to cast in the game (a white ring of light has to travel from your flippin armpit all the way to the tip of your wand. Release the charm prematurely and it's ineffective).
Tony150870 is my 360 gamertag. Racing and shooters are my favourite genres, currently enjoying Red Faction Armageddon which runs LA Noire pretty close for game of the year so far, then I'm gonna start on Fear 3.
led to believe that's one of Rockstar's best. Yet to play it, but I think of it as being rather similar to (but obviously better than) The Sting! (a rather old PC game which I was quite fond of, the character, Matt Tucker, had the what I rekon was the biggest chin in gaming), a slow paced game with little action but satisfying to play. Don't know if you've played Burnout, probably the most frustrating racing game ever!
Got Need For Speed Shift on this computer, haven't played it for months. I custom built the PC with Xfire graphics and have hardly used it for games. My gaming goes back to the original Pong, the controllers built into the one small box, leading to lots of head clashes as you played the game. Sent off for Sinclairs ZX80 original build your own computer. ( It never arrived, after a lot of complaining they sent me the ready built one.) I still bought the ZX81 with expansion pack, I was turning into a Sinclair fanboi, the rubber Spectrum followed. Ordered a QL again it never arrived, I ended up getting the Spectrum 128. When I saw what the Amiga could do graphically I was hooked, went through most versions of the Amiga. I even built an Amiga 500 into a PC case and Ram that cost an arm and a leg. I have always preferred platformers as a gaming genre. I still have fond memories of timing the final run in "Flashback" on the Amiga. Love the Tomb Raiders and similar games. Or first person shooters. I also have the Chronicles of Riddick on this comp, again haven't played it for months. The Tomb Raiders I could be on the computer or Playstation for days trying to finish them.
What do you think of Hitman, MR? I pretty much cheated my way through the first one (Codename 47), didn't finish the last level though, when all the clones are let loose. Then played the second one (Silent Assasin), the menu music was a masterpiece (Jesper Kyd [sp?] the composer I think). Never got past the level set in the mountains of Japan. I've read that Blood Money is the best of the lot, once had Contracts but the installation file was broken. Loved the Hitman film as well, don't know why it was ridiculed so much. Timothy Olyphant handled the role pretty well, although the gunfight at the weapon dealer's pad could have been done better. I hear Max Payne is pretty good as well.
Tried the original Hitman but couldn't get into it. Probably lack of patience. I bought that add on for the Spectrum plugged into the expansion port the "replay" or something. You could change the actual game code in-situ after pressing the button on it. Brilliant for cheats and trashing your games. Just noticed the LOTR comments have to agree about giving them a chance when reading them and start from the beginning of Tolkien's books. He doesn't drag you in immediately but builds up from a slow start. One of the first games I bought for the Sinclairs was "The Hobbit" a graphic adventure, up, down, go south, pick up, drop.
