The Room 3's the last one, sadly.

Post by: Samuel on November 07, 2015, 11:10:15 PM: Did you ever play Portal Rhiannon? I'm not sure what platform you have but I think you said you played Star Wars battlefront? If that is on the Xbox 360 then I can not reccomend Portal 2 highly enough. The first game was a sort of mini freebie that came with the half life two compilation called The Orange Box. Portal 2 is a stand alone game. It's a first person puzzler using physics and lateral thinking set in a dystopian and incredibly witty sci-fi research bunker.

Example. The psychotic A.I. Tries to tempt you to complete lethal tests with offers of cake.

Buy it. You will not regret it.

Post by: Rhiannon on November 07, 2015, 11:16:16 PM: Thank you - yes we have a 360. :)

Post by: Samuel on November 10, 2015, 12:27:31 PM: Brilliant! So, in addition to Portal 2, download a game called Braid from the xbox online game store, if you can. Again a puzzler but a platform one involving time manipulation. Each set of puzzles is set in a context of how we perceive and relate to time. It is profound, beautiful and deeply philosophical and the closest a game can get to art, in my opinion.

Braid and Portal 2 represent two of my most memorable and valued gaming experiences.

Sorry, going off on one now, but Ghostbusters is also really, really fun! ... I'll leave it there. Promise.

If you end up playing either of those games do let me know what you think!

Post by: Samuel on November 10, 2015, 07:18:37 PM: I have an Xbox one... Love it. Rise of the Tomb Raider ships this Friday. Oh yessssss!!

Post by: Rhiannon on November 10, 2015, 07:22:52 PM: A lot of the new games have their special features only on XBox 1.

Enjoy. :)
