Looking for a particular kind of game ...

Was to suggest Serious Sam games, but might not be your cup of tea. They HAD shiny graphics and I just loved mindless shooting at strange enemies, often hordes of them and in mostly open landscapes.

And Startopia...one of the saddest gaming moments, when I lost my CD

One of the best Multiplayer FPS experiences I ever had. 8 guys playing through the campaign on the hardest level, seeing dozens and dozens and dozens of enemies running straight for you. :D

Agreed. 6-player Serious Sam 1 was one of the most fun I had.

On-topic:

What about the Sam & Max and/or Monkey Island episodic games Telltale makes? I tried demo of Episode 1 and the little I saw I really liked.

Simpsons Hit and Run. Didn't play it myself, but a friend of mine found it very entertaining. Kind of like GTA.

Ah - Mirror's Edge. Hadn't thought of that; I've got that on the to-play mountain. That may well do the trick - it's certainly shiny, short, focused solidly about its concept, and singleplayer. If I find it fun as well then it's a perfect match.

I also own Psychonauts. Considering who it's made by, I couldn't not own it. Pretty sure I'd like it, never got around to playing it. If Mirror's Edge doesn't suit me then I shall fall back to this. If both of those games stumble then it will be Trine (would like to see what happens with the rumoured PSN/xbox live arcade version before making a purchase), then a tie between Mafia and Siren.

Thanks, all

World of Goo might also fit the bill.

How in the world did I forget about that game? Best $10 i ever spent. There's even a demo.

Looks like it's back up to $20 again, still worth every penny imho.

Ow? Whatever the hell you are doing, there are better things to do. Like playing Psychonauts for example. One of these one of a kinds.

**FesterShinetop** · 08-06-2009, 22:57

Yes, I totally agree with Fragony. Forget about Mirror's Edge and go play Psychonauts (I automatically assumed you had allready played that). It's great (though I got stuck in the end and never actually finished it... one day I will... one day I tell ya!!!)

This made me reinstall the game. I had forgot how much fun Cooperative mode was. :D

Alright, alright, I'll play Psychonauts first.

Tenchu ... I have the xbox 360 one, Tenchu Z. Another disc on the mountain which I haven't had time for yet. Kind of saving that one for when I'm in the mood for a game with lots of replaying to gather unlockables.
