For The Gamers Amongst Us: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011

[forefortheday]

Must admit I was pretty dissapointed in 10, hardly any difference than 9 really. Felt like id paid £30 quid for a small expansion pack.

10 was the first one I'd bought since the PS2 and to be honest it didn't make me go wow.

It's being traded in with a few others for Red Dead Redemption and then it's Fallout New Vegas and COD;Black Ops.

Between those and the golf days I think I'll be in my brownie points overdraft

I have no time for golf games... I'm too addicted to COD MW2. I also have Splintercell conviction but not really played it yet as I cant help thinking I'm wasting good ranking up time on cod...Sad I know.

Red Dead Redemption is taking my time now. Re-living all those classic westerns in a grand theft auto style.

Is red dead a proper go anywahere do anything?

How big is the map and how are the choices of things to do in comparison to GTA?

I bought Alan wake and completed it in two days, I was hugely disapointed having waited 5 years for it with the promise of open map game play. It was more Resi evil follow the path and shoot!

The big difference in gameplay is in TW10 they introduced a "realistic" swing mechanism. Rather than the three-tap system that's been with us since Links (tap to start the swing, tap to set power/draw/fade and tap again to determine accuracy/hook/slice) you now use the left thumbstick: pull back and push forward, and the timing and path the stick movement takes determines what the hit and flight will be like.

TW07 on PS2 had the joystick swing - and gave you teh option of left hand or right hand.

TW09 however doesnt give you the option to switch Left/right ??? So you develop a great technique with one hand, and then (2 versions later) have to learn a new one

It is a real go anywhere, shoot anything, map a decent size so far but expect more to open up. slightly less populated than GTA but to be expected given the setting. Plenty of challenges to keep it interesting

sneds: Half an hour of playing without changing weapons? hehe, that made me laugh.

Timberbonce: Love MW2. Finished the single-player missions far too quickly, but the multiplayer side to it is fantastic. Still only L45 or so. Conviction is fantastic, but then I'm a stealth/sniper kind of FPSer, rather than a run-in-the-middle-of-a-crowd-with-grenades-in-both-hands CounterStrike reject. Actually, I find the BF series allows for a nice mixture of both playing styles -- particularly BFBC2.

Just worn out the woods demo within an hours of playing.

I hope the demo isn't a true reflection of the graphics cause they are pants. Conidering how well EA have done with fifa, this looks last a last gen console effort.

Game plays a little better but I still want to see caddies on the bag/green, holding/attending the flag, the option to walk to your ball and stroll the course etc.

Dont think I'll be buying 11!

Whats your name on there can I add you as a friend? It's pretty addictive you know...I mean I'm still pants at it, but it's quite fun. I created one of each type and definitely prefer the gunner.
