It wouldn't be a poll without at least two options, PC Mugabe.

Poll FAIL!


Everybody else here is just racist :lol: ;)

There was a brilliant Private Eye spoof once where Mugabe 'won' the Afghan election, and Silvio Berlusconi said it was outrageous - he only came second :lol:

Back on the games, I also played Worms on the PS1 for a silly amount of time... occasionally playing to this day, I still haven't lost a set of rounds to the 'enemy' in almost any configuration :oops:

The thing is that many games are good enough to immerse yourself in for ages. I can understand driving games like Gran Tourismo 4 I succumbed myself for a while. Maybe the poll should have had console or PC or genre of game, like driving or FPS etc, no and Pie options.

Yup, San Andreas for me too. Really disappointed that GTA4 isn't as good. The graphics are awesome, but a lot of the gameplay isn't as good IMO.

What I found was changing the crap controls back to more traditional GTA fare helped a lot (don't ask me how, it made the 'realism' of car driving a lot easier to take), but there's a lot of the missions that are just annoying (and sometimes glitchy as fcuk).

Also, it's incredibly boring at the beginning :oops:

I've actually considered doing that a couple of times. Every time I go back to it after a break, I find the controls hard to get the hang of again.

I've only tried GTA4 a couple of times and the controls did my head in. If I had been using it for longer I would have reverted to the original setup, anyway it was on a 360 controller and that just doesn't compare to one for the PS.

I also prefered the chopper controls in Vice City to San Andreas, they just seemed more intuitive and made Brown Thunder much more enjoyable.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Can I just point out that I'm not even one of the two people who voted for the 'pcmugabe' option - I know I've got an extremely high post count, but that's taking it too far :lol:

Not me I still have not voted, I am considering opting for the pie option.
