Weekend Debate: Desert island discs

The 2 games would be Star Wars Battlefront 2(Favorite game of all time) and Skyrim because its a big game that has many hours of
replayablity.
Soundtrack from The Impossible Game.
And my Laptop so i can watch movies on Netflix and play games on the console at the same time.

1st Game: Minecraft – So I could play being stranded on an island while being stranded on an island.

2nd game: Dungeon Keeper 2 – By the giants of the past Bullfrog, their humor is enougth to get me through.

Music: Tetris Theme A: If I need to do things quicker I just speed it up.

Luxury Item: I’m a man of simple tastes so I would have to say good quality toilet paper. XD

game1: defenately gran turismo 5. best game ever, and just keeps going!

game2:allthough i love ratchet and clank they aren’t big enough to keep playing, so i’ll go for borderlands 2. i think ive done everything physically possible in borderlands (split-screen co-op with my best friend, for 12 hours a day, months on end. i fear i shall miss him on my island…) and borderlands 2 would just keep going for longer. can’t go wrong with that

music: i’m guessing my custom music list from gran turismo(and during all gaming) isn’t allowed , so i’ll defenately go for the radio from GTA:vice city. K-CHAT and radio ESPANTOSO!!, so funny, and the only ever game soundtrack i’ve got on my laptop just for the lulz.

luxury item:best friend for the split screen , mom for the cooking, girlfriend for the “company”? probably not allowed…

i’ll have to go for a B&O 103″ flat-screen tv(assuming i don’t have to actually have one in real life) and not just for the personal on site assistance that could get me off the island, but so people on the other side of the sea can see me play!

*continued

i must say the music from double dragon neon is fun, not too annoying and super hilarious. so thank you playstation PLUS for learning me the training wheels song!
but probably would kill myself if it was for all eternity…

Are we assuming that a games console and internet are included? if not then honestly video games would be almost useless (bar as like…idk for a tiny SOS beacon >_>)
and does it have to be PS3 games?
If not then game 1: Skyrim on the PC, if I have internet access then there are loads of mods, and the game would actually work right :X, been wanting to pick it up, but Bethseda hate the PS3 =/.
game 2: hmm, if I have internets? LBP2, people will keep making insane and amazing games, and that would keep me going for a long time.
If no internets? Id be tempted to say Dead Space, would eventually get the super annoyingly difficult meteor trophies (extractions is so much easier )
but im going to say FF7, I really should play tht game, people have been recommending it for years.

Music: Just a game sound track? if so then hmm… Ocarina of Time, was a toss up between it and Wind Waker (opening tune is epic)
or if non gaming prolly a Blink 182 compilation album, whichever is biggest :p.

Luxury:Next post

Luxury: can I have a super long range radio? for rescue when I get bored? Im assuming thats cheating
so if internet and PC/PS3 are provided then. Im tempted to say an oven, I mean I have electricity for the games, and whilst Im not fond of the idea of eating scavenged food at least it would be slightly less deadly if cooked ?

(it didnt post last time, if its a double post disregard this or delete this one :X)

My desert island discs would be :

1. Gears Of War 2.
I cannot deny a game that i spent the best part of 3 years playing, forsaking all others. I have still to play Fallout 3 and various other games i bought during the time i spent addicted to Gears2. I played Horde mode mostly and to this day i have yet to find a game where the characters,maps, weapons and gameplay all felt bang on. Also met some great friends ( and rivals ) through this game. My #1 game of all time.

2. GTA San Andreas.
The best entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, Large map, great characters, a cracking soundtrack (as is usual in GTA) and simply the most fun GTA to date. I’m hoping that GTA 5 will replace this on my desert island.

The game soundtrack i would take would have to be Secret Of Mana on the Snes. Sometimes i just load the game up to listen to the ingame music which brings memories of being desperate to get home from school so i could continue what i consider to be the only JRPG i was ever bothered about.

Well i would take Metal Gear solid 2: Substance (plenty things to do and improve on them, vr missions) and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (i could literally play it till the end of time)
So, an action game and a rpg. I guess it would keep the madness at bay for a while.
For music, the complete collection of the Final Fantasy games would be my choice (there are tons of discs, there variety to some extent and they are very pretty, imho)
About the luxury item, i thought about a refueled aquaplane near the beach. But since it is cheating, i would require a sofa with a tray for coconuts.

Ps: I’m not in it to win it, because i don’t own a ps3, only a psvita, it would be a waste.

i would have to go with
Game 1: Final Fantasy VII due to it’s huge replay value and endless hours of fun with a great story line.
Game 2: Mass Effect Trilogy playing through the first to the end of the third would take a while and there’s alot of add-on content to keep me busy for ages also it had a big replay value to it so it would keep me happy for a very long time.
music: Otherworld by rammstein from Final Fantasy X the opening tune is a great music track for any Final Fantasy fan.
luxury item: my ps3 then i can download all my 200+ bought games from the ps store to keep me busy for a very very very long time .

A desert island? That’s a horrible thought! I’d get so lonely

Anyway, I would bring:

Games

Kingdom Hearts 2 – Simple, it’s my favorite game of all time (And I’m still waiting for KH3) I’ve got 2 saves that I’ve played for over 200 hours each, and a couple that are at about 100 hours, and again a couple that are at about 60 hours.

LittleBigPlanet 2 – It’s the game that never ends! I can imagine if I only had 2 games to play, I would probably like always having new content.

Music:

Well, I’ve already got the Kingdom Hearts 2 soundtrack in the game itself, so this would just be a bonus. I would have to say Assassin’s Creed II – A very beautiful, yet somewhat underrated soundtrack.

Luxury item:

My house!

Hmmm… This desert island doesn’t sound half bad now that I think about it…

My 1st game would be LittleBigPlanet 2. Not only is it my favourite game but it would provide me with endless levels and mini games. Not to mention that I could use it to recreate many of the games I miss from back home.

My 2nd game would be God Of War 3 (Or the God Of War Saga collection if it’s allowed). The reasoning being that if I’m only allowed two games, then I need to pick two that are as different from each other as possible for variety’s sake. And ripping the horn off a monster and shoving it through it’s eye is as different to LittleBigPlanet as it gets. (Plus it just never gets old).

I would also choose the Parappa The Rapper soundtrack. Not only is it cool to listen to, but I could use all the spare time I’d have to brush up on my martial arts skills with Master Onion.

For my accessory. I think I’d go with a Playstation Move kit, since it would allow me to play the Move based levels in LittleBigPlanet 2. Plus when it gets dark, I could use it as a torch.

This is a tricky list to make as there are hundreds of good possible choices.

Game#1 Okami. It is one of my favourite games of all time. Being stuck on a Desert island this game is a must. As my sanity slowly drips away I would be playing the fishing minigame for hours on end. I would be cursing the game and wishing catching fish would be this easy. When I finally lost it I will be fishing the same way thinking I have the gods and goddesses favour that will bring the fish to me.

Game#2 PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. In the need to keep my sanity some social gaming would be needed. I would play single player first and then teach my good friend Bob the Coconut how to play. He will soon surpass me in ability and he must go. It was a pity which he was strolling on the beach and the tide suddenly changes and he disappeared out to sea. Now Barry the Coconut is my new best friend and doesn’t have a good handle on fighting games so he should be fine. I would them play online and be kicked or be muted because of my incoherent shouting over the mic.

Music: Distant Worlds Final Fantasy. Any shred of sanity remaining would appreciate orchestral music. I would feel an affinity to one track in my new state of mind. Dancing Mad.

Luxury: My Uncharted 3 Drakes Ring which I wear all the time. I would hold it, stroke it, talk to it and keep it hidden from Barry as it is MY PRECIOUS.

Fred how are you gonna play your games? lol

but seriously
r&c
halo 4
walkure by Wagner
a supply of US army rations( good for ten years apparently)

I must admit the name kind of threw me on this one as I don’t plan on bringing any “discs” at all. I would bring cartridges for vita so I could explore the island freely instead of having to sit with my console and t.v.

Game 1 would have to be little big planet vita. A bit predictable but I could make the best games ever and download hundreds of games from the community before going onto the Island. I could play one a day for years, that is if it fits on the vita. I could also make the best games ever. I couldn’t however post them online. I will get back to this a little bit later.

For game 2 I wanted to pick a game I have yet to play. So I decided to go for mortal kombat. It has been repeatably been praised by how much single player content. I could be the king of mortal kombat and if I was ever rescued I would be awesome by that time. And it would last ages if I wasn’t saved.

Continued from post 167.

For music I would have to have the soundtrack from sonic adventure 2. It would make me feel so up beat. Some stand outs include live and learn and city escape songs. It would really help sheer me up on a rainy day (literally).

For the luxury item I would want a flask of hot chocolate, one big enough to fit the vita in it. It would make me really warm for the first few nights and by the time I’m out I would be used to life on the Island. Then when I’m really old, about to die, I could put the vita in it with little big planet in it. Then I could let it out to sea and someone would see my awesome levels. It would probably be really old at that stage though.

Game#1: Absolutely LBP for PS vita, i can organize my plans in the game on how i will survive on the island.

Game#2: Uncharted Golden Abyss. Im not actually a UC fan, but when i got 30 days free trial of PS+, i tried UC GA and it was actually pretty amazing compared to the rest of UC games. It felt so original and i just loved the characters.

Music: Adventure Begins from the game called Croc. Its very nice and i get my childhood memories back.

Luxury item: Absolutely PS vita, i am not going anywhere without it! That’s why i mentioned those two VITA games, they are simply amazing and fits well on the system. Also PS vita will help me take some pictures of the beautiful island, once i get back home i will have some sweet memories.

Game #1: Well, if I were to be stuck on a desert island for the rest of my life, an RPG is just what I would need! And since Final Fantasy is my favourite RPG series and I’ve yet to beat Yiazmat… FFXII would be the one I’d take with me (don’t even get me started on all the speed and low equipment runs that are still ahead of me ).

Game #2: Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition. No doubts here whatsoever. I can’t express my love for hack ‘n’ slash games, especially the one and only DMC3. And if I should get bored with doing the same 20 missions over and over, then there’s the Bloody Palace, which I could beat floor by floor, one at a time. Hell, makes me want to escape from Survivor recording session just to do that! By the way, are HD Collections allowed? Cause if they are, then I’d obvously take DMC HD Collection!

Soundtrack: The World Ends With You OST has so many vocal pieces that it’s almost like buying a CD at the local music store. Almost, because regular CDs aren’t composed of pure awesomeness and can’t really compare to TWEWY OST. Not to mention all the memories that come with it.

Continued in the next post…

…that is here:

Luxury: Actually, I’d have to take my beloved ginger & honey flavoured tea… Seriously, I’m addicted to it and can’t live without it. The familiar burning in my throat would replace any friends and family and it’s almost like alcohol that doesn’t get you drunk

Hopefully this desert island isnt like the desert island I already live on (Australia) and ban every good game that comes out, so in saying that my first game is :

Game 1 – Mortal Kombat 9, I have always loved Mortal Kombat games and MK9 is one of the best, it would keep me entertained for a long time, I could get platinum trophy on it easily and it has multiplayer online which would keep me entertained for a long time

Game 2 – Im going to cheat a little here by saying the Mass Effect Trilogy, I dont mean all 3 individual games, I mean the trilogy that is coming out, so its 3 games in 1. I havent actually played these games yet (didnt want to buy number 1 on Suxbox 360 and didnt want to play number 2 until I played the first one) and by what I have heard they are really good games and take quite a long time to finish and then once I have finished them I can go back and play each one again making different choices along the way to see how different it all is.

Cont.

Music – I will go with the island theme here and say Crash Bandicoot, what better music to listen to while out collecting Wumpa Fruit or whatever native fruits this island has

Luxury Item – My car, all islands need a car to get around on, just look at Far Cry 3 to see how much better it is to get from one side of an island to the other

Game 1 – Gta:San andreas. Large enough and varied enough to keep me occupied for a long time.

Game 2 – Little Big planet 2. A large community with the ability to create games from different genres, but would also give me an outlet for my creative side while deserted.

Music – Ni No Kuni Ost. Listened to this a lot recently(so pumped for this game) and just amazed by it. Would make the perfect relaxation mix.

Luxury item – hot,running water. Can’t live without.

Game #1: Has to be a Mp game, so going with the biggest fps out; Planetside 2 (SOE outdid themselves).

Game #2: Uncharted 3, loved this game and think it was a great conclusion to the trilogy (make more).

Music: Tetris, could hum that to myself all day.

Luxury: Considering most desert islands are tropical and therefore wet, I go with a nice big american RV with some solar panels cuz deserted islands are not big on electrical outlets or for keeping my stuff dry.

Both of my games go pretty much hand in hand.

Game#1: Pokemon White Version 2 – Any of the Pokemon games would do but I decided to go with the most recent.

Game#2: Persona 4 Golden – Much the same as Game#1 I chose the most recent though any game from the series will do.

Reason: My reason for choosing these games is; If I am stuck on a Desert Island I want games that can last me as long as possible. Both Persona 4 and Pokemon White 2 can take 70+ hours to complete each, plus they have incredible replay value. No 2 playthroughs are the same

Music: One Winged Angel – Cliche I know, but One Winged Angel just seems fitting y’know. Plus thinking of FFVII always cheers me up, no matter how bad the situation.

Luxury Item: Coffee, can’t live without it in Civilization let alone on a Desert Island. Life without Coffee, no thanks.

Game #1:Fallout:New Vegas-A great RPG with many paths and always plenty to do following the main quest.

Game #2:Uncharted 2:Among Thieves: The best of the Uncharted Series is a joy to play and the last sections of the game might not effect my mood as much as Uncharted 3. I prefer to not linger on the warmth of the sun in a desert environment.

Music:The Fallout Series Soundtrack: Makes me think its not the end of the world.

Luxury Item: An endless supply of simple Milk Chocolate. Simple and improves anyone’s mood.

Games:

Space Taxi – I had this gem of a game on the Commodore 64 back in the day & it was simple but effective & addictive. You had to land on the platforms delicately or you would explode. A stickman/stickwoman (Not sexist here) would wave & state what platform they wanted to travel to & you had a depleting fuel gauge. Excellent stuff & here is a video for you young ones who may of not heard of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuRyiFg6FBY

Solomon’s Key – This was also another gem that I owned on the original NES. I was only 9 but that game was fantastic & frustrating at times but I was only 9! The simple use of adding & removing blocks along with magic was highly addictive. You would collect a key whilst avoiding the enemies to open the door & escape. Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADB15SFW6hQ

Soundtrack – Distant Worlds CD that covers various Final Fantasy games, puts a smile on my face whenever I listen to it. I instantly recognise the titles that are included & for any Final Fantasy fan out there, you owe it to yourself to own this masterpiece.

Luxury Item – This would have to be chocolate covered Flapjacks

Let’s start off with the music. Undoubtedly, that has to be from Tales of Monkey Island. It will just fit in perfectly, an island ‘adventure’ where I’m stranded and need something soothing and inviting to listen to which also reflects the atmosphere.
Now for the harder bits, the games. First one has to be Civ 5. Yeah, it’s replayable and whatnot but it would be a videogame representation of what I would be going through. Settle on a piece of land, search ancient ruins and villages for help. Research around the island to build certain things to ease my stay, occasionally go to war (against the little poisonous snails and snakes) so it’s just a bit of role playing of the game.
Second one would probably end up being Pokemon Black 2 just because it’s a pretty long game which can be played an infinite number of times. Additionally, I’ll have enough time to catch all the pokemon and train them to level 100 and I could perhaps also use the high-speed internet to play online to just battle with some friends.
The luxury item is my I-phone. One just has to update their FaceBook and stay current with the daily news and be able to surf the web, YouTube etc.

Game would have to be Skyrim or Oblivion.
Music would have to be anything from the Final Fantasy soundtracks.
My one item would be my ipod since I take it with me everywhere.

Game Number 1 – Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. Yes, yes, it’s buggy and awful and what have you but not to me. It represents the start of the more story-driven games of the world, games that are truly starting to become more mature and adult (but not from excessive gore and sex). I love the story, I love the gameplay and infiltrating the Louvre is still one of my most favourite gaming moments.

Game Number 2 – Bully. Very well written, fantastic gameplay, amazing characters, a nicely sized world and magnificent music. It seems to have got school *just* right – the cliques, the interactions, the feel of it. A perfect balance between the stereotype of school and how people actually remember it. Plus, the music.

Soundtrack – Britney’s Dance Beat. Who else do I need to listen to other than The Holy Spearit? Plus I can always perfect the Slave 4 U choreography and everyone should know that choreography.

Luxury Item – A yacht. If I get bored of the island I can escape. More than likely I’d go on the yacht and just stand there since I don’t know how to drive one. If I can’t have a yacht then a never-ending cup of tea. Some people have high blood-alcohol levels; I have blood-tea levels.

Games – One game is definitely going to be LittleBigPlanet Vita because of the UGC, I’m sure I’ll find plenty of new content to keep me entertained and in case I’m stuck with an undesirable create a message in game that gets me rescue.
The other is most likely to be a fighter, since TTT2 isn’t out on it as yet and DoA5 plus was just announced; it depends on when I get stuck there if it’s mid 2013 DoA5plus if it’s earlier it’s going to be Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend.

Music – it’s most likely going to be the OST to SMT3:Nocturne (aka Lucipher’s Call here).

Luxury: A Swiss army knife. Who knows how long I’m going to be stuck there.

Game 1, Would be gran turismo 3 just because on a desert island I will have time for the endurance Races

Game 2 Would have to be little big planet as you will need a constantly
changing game so you cannot get bored replaying it over and over.

Music would be would the smooth sounds of flash FM from Grand theft vice city, 80s classics all the way.

Luxury item has to be toilet paper (the good stuff not recycled).

Games:

Fallout 3 (So I can learn on the island how to mend items together)
LittleBigPlanet (To get the idea of how I want to convert the island so I like it)

Music:
The Gta4 soundtrack, so I can always listen to any genre I feel like.

Luxury:
PlayStation Vita including a solar panel so I can keep on playing and don’t have to befriend a coconut.

There’s no two ways about it, when you’re on a deserted island loneliness is a reality to contend with. And when you take some nostalgic favorites, you’ll only feel bad. So, I’ll take two games I’ve just begun:

Game 1: Persona 4 Golden – the hero feels as if he arrives at a deserted island filled with unknowns and slowly builds up a relationship to the place and its people. Social Links are just the thing when you’re feeling lonely! And these guys don’t troll, flame or annoy you.

Game 2: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – this one keeps your brain fresh and agile. You can forget about your vapid brain games, this is the one to sharpen your mind and retain your sanity. Great story to boot!

Soundtrack: Chrono Cross, the ultimate feel good while sad OST. CC goes with anything, any mood, any weather, any situation. I know many people who aren’t gamers who own the Chrono OST, and for good reason!

Luxury item: Well, basically, one book:The Collected Works of Plato. It has everything: conversation, drama, anecdotes, spirituality, humor, and hope – life between two covers. Just the thing to keep you going for a looooooooooooong time.

Great debate, btw!

Great idea for a debate. Lots of interesting posts so far, here goes mine…

Game #1: Fallout 3.
Vast wasteland to explore: [Yes]
Tons of loot to hoard: [Yes]
Will keep you busy for hours upon hours: [Yes]

Well that’s all good and all. But none of that really matters…You know why?
Because Fallout 3′s game manual is called a “Survival Guide”! That’s gotta come in handy right? Not only that, it’s massive. Around 50 pages long! Not only is that some good reading material right there, those pages are bound to come in handy when lighting fires. Oh, and wiping one’s…You get the idea.

Game #2: Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection.
Has to be. Over 40 classics on a single disc. Sonic, Comix Zone, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Alex Kidd and many more. Just think of all those hours. All those high scores that you could keep coming back to try and beat, time and time again. How else would you keep sane?!

(continued…)

(continued…)

Music: GTA:Vice City soundtrack.
So many great songs. So much nostalgia. It’d almost be like having a third game there just by listening to that soundtrack and reminiscing about the times spent cruising around VC on a bike to Twisted Sister’s I Wanna Rock:

“Turn it down you say
Well, all I got to say to you is time and time again I say No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Tell me not to play
Well, all I got to say to you when you tell me not to play I say, No, no, no, no, no, no, no!”

And don’t get me started on Billie Jean either.

Luxury: A lifetime subscription to PlayStation Plus of course.
Given that you can’t exactly pop down to the local shop or have games delivered to you, it’s a no brainer. Forget 2 games, with Plus you’d be getting over 45 a year! Now Chris Martin, how does that sound for para-para-paradise. I thought so too.

Game 1: would be Final Fantasy X my favourite game of all time. I could easily sit and play for days on end and forget i’m on the island.

Game 2: The second game is harder to pick but would possibly be the first Tony Hawk game so i can start and stop playing as i please.

The music is easy it would be the Fallout 3 soundtrack especially the civilization song.

Luxury item: Well assuming there’s electricity, a backwards compatible PS3, a TV to play it on etc. It would be a years supply of food then i’d only have to build a hut to play games in and then when i’ve done i’ll message someone on PSN to come and get me.

Game 1: Baldur’s Gate I & II + Expansions and Mods packed in a bundle. I replay through the whole thing at least once a year, fantastic role playing and epic dragon battles. I can never get tired of it + I seem to find new stuff with each new playthrough.

Game 2: World of Warcraft, what better way to spend time on a desert island than chipping away at that achievement carrot all day.

Music: The Elder Scrolls soundtracks, mainly the ones from TES III Morrowind,brings out the thrill of adventure in me every time.

Luxury item: Decanter of endless water, because well..it’s a desert island and you have to stay hydrated!

1. Red Dead Redemption, cause I think it is the only game that I have never got bored of playing, not even for a second.Epic.
2. Crash Bandicoot, Almost 15 years on this is the only crash I have yet to finish 100%. Hopefully a desert island will finally give me enough time. What better game to play on an uncharted desert island than crash?
3. Soundtrack? Easy; Assassins Creed 2, Greatest soundtrack ever recorded. “Ezio’s Family” still sends shivers down my spine.
4. Boring choice, but got to be tea. Probably end up mad without it.

A mysterious desert island which has every technology available to play any game? Shame I couldn’t choose to play the lottery or I’d pick 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42!

Game #1: Dark Souls – Rock hard so it’d take me a good while to complete, plus there’s New Game+ to keep me busy. Well that’s if I could work up the courage to risk my character’s life by leaving the safety of the camp fires!

Game #2: Disgaea 4 – Haven’t played it but I’ve played the others. Hundreds of hours of gameplay with lots of stat grinding. Nothing whiles away the hours like an RPG and Disgaea is an RPG in overdrive…

Music: Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy – Bit of a cheat as it’s a soundtrack to a whole series, but a disc does exist as I have it. It’d also allow me to reminisce about the games without having them there.

Luxury Item: Crumpets – What Englishman could survive without them? Even on a deserted island you’ve got to have your Elevenses!

Which two video games would you take with you?
1: have to go with the majority and say Skyrim or Fallout, youd need something big to keep you occupied – all those quests!!
but also for me, its more about the emotional attachment. those games have been there for me through tough times; i think it would be comforting to have a game that meant so much to you, with a world that you could feel at home in to take away your worries of being on this lonely island!!

2. the next would have to be a co-op game, so you could feel that bond between yourself and others as you try to survive together, keep you connected to the outside world. i loved Resident Evil 5 for this, the sense of relying on each other even if it was a random person you had just joined. it would give you a sense of companionship.

Which piece of videogame music?
Dynasty Warriors is my all-time favourite video game music. lovely mix of beautiful chinese music and awesome power metal to get you pumped!! perfect mix for keeping you relaxed and giving you the energy and drive to tear that island apart!

Which luxury item?
a lilo, so i could go for a good old float and who’d need to worry about bedding!

video games

Uncharted 3 – I played Uncharted and Uncharted 2 and I just cant die on some island without beating Uncharted 3. Even if it should be last thing I ever do.

Flower – If it is only desert on that island, i would like to see awesome flowers grow at least in video game. It could help me to stay sane.

piece of videogame music

Probably Burnout paradise – I like that soundtrack and there is a big chance that if i turn it really loud, i could attract any rescue.

luxury item

If PS3 is already on that island, than full HD TV. I have never played on it and I would like to try it.

As a first game, I would take something with good replay value and scoreboard- maybe the latest Stardust or Virtua Fighter 5- to sink my inevitable frustration into.

I would choose something demanding patience and dedication as the second one, because being stranded on an island means a lot of spare time… Dark Souls, Maybe.

Music: Max Payne 3. I’m not crazy about the game itself, but the soundtrack is very close to what I normally listen to.

Luxury item- audio workstation. I will be the first castaway to send their discography in a bottle, instead of a letter.

The first game would be Suikoden II, being one of the RPGs that I can play repeatedly and never bore of. Also, it’s high resale value on eBay will probably make it useful to trade with native tribesmen for food and tools.

The second game would be Burnout Paradise, because it’s an endlessly playable and enjoyable game, as long as the deserted island’s internet connection doesn’t make me lag too badly.

The music I’d bring would be the Distant Worlds concert tracks, as I also never tire of those Final Fantasy orchestral arrangements.

The luxury item would be my bank card, so I could buy more games using the deserted island’s high-speed internet connection. Hopefully Amazon deliver to deserted islands.

Game 1: call of duty modern warfare 3- this Is due to the amount of time I could spend on it without even realising how much I’ve done, bringing this will stop me getting bored.

Game 2: burnout paradise- this is my all time favorite game, also as the game is very socialable you would ever feel lonely on the desert island .

Music: the original locoroco soundtrack- I just loved those little guys singing .

luxury item: I’d have to say coca cola, water gets a bit tasteless after a while!

was I 2 late to enter?

Games:
I know a lot of people are saying Dead Island but I think you often want escapism when playing a videogame rather than a reminder of where you are so I would take SSX and Killzone 3 so that I could escape to the snow whenever I needed.

Music:
Maybe the music from Loco Roco but just for when I was getting a bit down. That stuff was like sugar turned into music the way I remember it.

Luxury item:
Speed boat with GPS… sorry I am that guy.

Hmm it’s now Monday so I’m not sure if that automatically disqualifies me but I doubt a few of us will even get a look in to winning being at the end of page 4 but hey ho I’ll still give it a go.

My first game would be Deus Ex Human Revolution. The game is simply amazing, by far my favourite game this generation, need I say more?

Second, BioShock. Everytime I go back for another playthrough I love it more and more, truely one of the greatest atmospheres created!

As for my piece of music, Icarus track from Deus Ex HR, best piece of videogame music I’ve ever listened to, goosebumps each time I listen to it. You might say why take a track from a game you’re taking with you, well I can listen to it all the time instead of hearing it once towards the end of the game.

And finally the luxury item of choice would be my PS Vita, I already have a bunch of games on there so my only worry would be the battery, so luckily the desert Sun is included on the island and the heat should be able to charge it.

Game 1 would be Need For Speed Most Wanted, the multiplayer is the most fun I’ve ever had in a racer game, and with the autolog I have hours and hours of challenges ahead

Game 2, Dark Souls. I love the idea of the game just never gotten into it properly, this desert island would help

Music – the Dirt Showdown ost is awesome, even though I platted the game months back I still have it in my phone

My luxury item would be my ipad 2 so i can get help with Dark Souls (I’ll need it) and still watch great tv and movies on Netflix while playing games!!
