Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
We haven't had a computer games thread for agesssss, so thought i'd kick one off.
I'm a massive computer game nerd and especially love my footy games.
I can't wait for FIFA 11 to hit the shops but what new games are you excited about?
Hopefully i'll get some tips of you all.
Also, are there any recent classics that i might have missed?

Little Big Planet 2 and
(another) Call of Duty that had to be pre-ordered months ago.
PGA Tour Golf and FIFA 95`on the Mega-Drive for the Win for me!!
Just recently got Crackdown II but quickly bored of it. Crackdown was brilliant but this was just too samey (had the same with Bioshock and Bioshock II).
Another one I just got is Mafia II which I'm really enjoying. GTA styley game set it the 40s/50s (great soundtrack).
Nothing else on the radar just yet.
Call of Duty? Is that a new edition or the one that everyone made a massive song and dance about a few months back?
I agree with your fifa 95 call. Did you ever play Fifa 98? i think that was the version where you could play 5 a-side indoors!
FIFA 95 was the dogs......I am sure that was the first game of the series where you could do a "diving header". awesome it was.
Ah i keep noticing that Mafia game. is it worth a purchase? not sure if i'd like it or not. i loved assassin's creed 2 but not normally a fan of the others you mentioned.
Check this clip out at around 2:35.........
He gets up like Andy Carroll.
Just the sound would drive me bonkers now.

In Response to Re: Upcoming computer games: +1
Also Assassin's Creed Brotherhood & Gran Turismo 5.
The question on everyone's lips is will Fifa 11 reach the levels of this old classic?:-

I have just dug out a C64 Retro Classics PC Game. Hope it works and has this classic on it.

You couldn't beat a roundhouse, a footsweep or a good old fashioned punch in the face.
Notice Miyagi`s uncle observing proceedings in the game also......

Material worthy of a 5 knuckle shuffle in the 80s i'm sure you'll all agree.
Still got it on the emulator actually.... along with Jet Set Willy:Final Frontier, Elite, Commando etc..etc :-)
Looking forward to every Fifa and Streetfighter. Call of Duty is starting to become a fav too, nothing better than shooting a mate in the head with a sniper!!
Anyone else remember the following C64 games, KickStart, Vendetta, California Games, Spy Hunter, Gauntlett, Barbarian and Power Drift. Ah they were good times, remember beating my brother so good at a football game, he threw the joystick in my face!!!
Fifa 11
Football manager 2011
Halo Reach
The new Cod (forgot its name)
BAM! im sorted for the cold months
I use to love driving into the back of that truck, and the music was class!
