5punk

BF3 is a good game that I'm sure we could coax some 5punkers into playing again.

I'm tempted by NFS.

BF3 isn't bad, but I never quite got on with it. We tried to play it again recently and I can't remember what happened but we didn't end up playing. With the amount of incompatible add-ons now out I think you'd struggle to find 5punkers to play with. Which is a shame, because it is quite good. Sim City 4 is.. erm a Sim City really. No better or worse than I expected it to be.

I think that's what I'm going for too. All the other things I would want from that list I have already.

I've got Need for Speed and it's very...

sensible

Proper cars, racing, energy bars, no mental takedowns, no jumps, no barrelrolls, no billboards
Not a bad game, just not Paradise City

I still play BF3. If you are going to play, I would strongly suggest getting Premium, as the add-ons are pretty great in my opinion. The variations in the maps is pretty great, and honestly the number of servers running bare stock maps is quite low these days.

NFS: Most Haunted is like paradise city with the silly turned right down.

Almost all of the elements are there, there's jumps, billboards, shortcut hiding fences, police chases and crashing other cars into walls.

It's really just missing the silly challenges (though I've not tried MP, they might be there) and the ridiculousness isn't present.

I went for SC4, because SC4.

It's the other NFS I was thinking of (which I bought by mistake!). That one's a decent enough game but like Berk says, needs more silly

Is that so you can Sim City after Sim City-ing?

I'd give BF3 a go if they are chucking it in for nowt. I am sure that using a helicopter fuselage as a weapon would be quite entertaining

I basically eenie-meeny-miny-moed it, as both games are on play.com for £10.

I went for NFS too in the end. Seems a decent game, should definitely get some 5punk on it
