Found some absolute BARGAINS! Another set of hidden RTS gems by the looks of it - Conquest: Frontier Wars taugt me to look out for these sort of things.
Hundred Swords
Ground Control 2
Warfront - Turning Point
Project Nomads
Originally my hopes lay with Warfront and Hundred Swords - they looked different enough that they'd both keep me interested. The other 2 seemed rather generic. however, my grandad chose GC2 as my test game (currently limited to using my laptop), and it's BEAUTIFUL, I only wish I could play it at full spec with better controls (my mouse is a little iffy, and i get a lag spike every so often, as well as keyboard lockups).
Oh, and the price?
50
pence
each.
Yeah. And they weren't even on sale.
Which reminds me, I need to track down a new copy of C:FW.

I tried the demo and it seemed ok but I don't think I could fork out that much for it. If it's ever on sale i'll definately pick it up. They really should do a shoot them all up themed sale. There's a few i'd pick up thinking about it if they were half price.
I need to clean the copy I have. It doesn't look like it has any scratches or anything on it, yet at times dialog scenes skip through at speed, the game can freeze or crash whilst loading..lots of strange little bugs.Killer French Bread wrote:One of my mates has Split Second Velocity and I thought it was a fun game. Loads of things blowing up around the track is always cool. I want the Sherlock Holmes game but my 360 isn't a PAL model, and that's region locked to European consoles plus there's no Japanese version.
I reckon there's probably a fingerprint or something that I haven't quite spotted, so hoping that cleaning the disc'll do the job.

It is stupid trying to sell it for that much when every other shooter is 800 on XBLA. At least they remade the graphics and it has a few different modes in it. I think it's more fun than any of the other shmups on XBLA as well (never been much of a fan of Guwange and Ikaruga drives you mad after a while).
Tic Tac, sir?
