Gaming

[DJ Andy]

Everyone does it once in a while.

What are you're guys favorite video games/consoles? etc?

Which ones do you own, wish you owned, or wish you had never gotten?

---

Currently, I have a 360, PS2 and gameboy advance. My 360 ,however, received the infamous 3 red rings of death and was sent to Microsoft repair center a couple days ago. I really want it back so I can get my hands on Halo 3. :)

I also enjoy playing Guitar Hero (LOVE IT), Grand Theft Auto (To relieve some stress ;D ), Halo, Call of Duty 2, Pokemon Ruby (Or any Pokemon game. lol), and occasionally I like playing racing games.

[daydreamer1]

I love Nintendo 64.I have mostly my favorite games on it.Super Mario 64,Mario Cart,Super Smash Bros. and Mario Party.I also have a Nintendo DS and a PS2.PS2 is only cool,becaus eI can play Dance Dance Revolution. :)

Ah, I remember the nights of playing smash bros all day and night with my friends. Now its Halo 3

[nooneimportant77]

i'm really really starting to think i need a 360 , my ps2 still does me good, but there arent really any new games for it and the 360 just seems so good, with new games like bioshock, halo 3, and gta 4 i might just HAVE to get it. gta and halo being the main reasons.

[DJ Andy]

Ah yes. I almost forgot.. I LOVE DDR.

My friend says he played Bioshock and says it's a great game. Personally, I haven't played it (Remindes me of Quake 4.. Yikes..) but has anyone here played it? :O

Ah. I would also totally recommend a 360. Plus, if you get bored of the games you have you can download new demos, arcade games, movies, etc. But, make sure to get an extended warranty and console cooler. ;D

[Paladin1221]

Hey if you didn't see there is a new halo 3 doc. on bungie.com and in the XBL marketplace

[nooneimportant77]

make sure to get an extended warranty and console cooler. ;D

i understand the warranty but it has problems cooling?! what if i use a fan or something i already have. i dont really feel like upgrading the thing as soon as i get it just to fix it, you know what i mean? is the over heating that bad? or just a minor problem?

[justin]

Burnout 3

[Brainstrained]

I have a psp (just got it monday :D) and it's pretty cool. I'm not really much of a gamer though.

[DefusedProductions]

PS2 and Wii.
Love Guitar Hero!
Want to get a DS for Jam Sessions!!

[PlasmaP]

So Yeah.

I have a wii.


Right now I'm playing metroid prime three.

Finally a good first person shooter.


My homework has ramped up this year, so I haven't had much time to play it though.
Spending more time on forums.

And making shirts.

[sandmanfvr]

Got an Xbox and a Wii. Wii kicks ass and will get a 360 in a week or so.

[SWRULS]

I've got a PS2 and a gameboy sp i don't play my sp much anymore though i do play Guitar hero any chance i get(love that game:)) i also play some battlefront 2 or smackdown versus raw 2006. not much of a big gamer though video games do when your down or pist or when you're bored.:hayguyz:

[Amiah]

I have Bioshock right here. I think it's a great game, but you really need a very good computer to enjoy it the best. The graphics are really nice at the highest resolution, but at lower cofiguration (like with me), it's not that special. Great game though, but I'd rather play it on a highspeed computer.

Ok, enough of the Bioshock :cool:


I have a Wii and PC which I both use to play games. Also have my good old N64 here (have a NES, SNES and GC, but it's at my parents house a.t.m, cause my little brother uses them) with GoldenEye, Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark :D

Oh, and Zelda... YAY! :love:

[Todd]

I have a Wii. Its ok.

I have always been a PC gamer. I have a pent 2.4ghz dual core, 4g ram, nVidia 8600, 2 250gb 10krpm disks... yeah... the works. I think my comp would whip the pants off any console system out there.

Only FPSes i like are Counterstrike (source duh) and Day of Defeat, games like that. I am teh suk at deathmatch. Im mostly into RPGs and Strategy games (turn based for the win). Ive beta tested a lot of MMOs, used to support myself by ebaying MMO gold/gear, been into PC gaming since like 1990-91. Ive written a few of my own games in C, OpenGL, and Allegro. Not to mention modded quite a few other games. Im not so much into gaming as I was years ago, but its still an industry im a big fan of.

anyone wanna waste some time on some cool games, check out:
www.allegro.cc for pleanty of free open source games.

[jay_stewart]

I only have a PS2 but mostly i play grand turismo and soul calibur 3. Buidling my own PC though because i really want to play Bioshock and S.T.A.L.K.E.R ><

I just have an old xbox, chipped though so i have plenty games, halo is cool, but flatout 2 is my game of choice at the moment, gun is also pretty sweet, and burnout, pgr3. And back when i had a ps1 my favourite game, and still one of the best is tombi 2, a classic.

[Grandma]

We started many years ago with an Acorn Electron, which used cassettes! lol

Now I can't get past Halflife 2 DM which I play on the PC. To the extent that I am an admin on some DM servers! I would quite like to try a Wii, maybe one day... :)

[17thletterfilms]

I have a Wii, DS, N64, and SNES. Basically, I'm a Nintendo fanboy. XD (Don't kill me Halo lovers. :P) Anyway, I really like Pokemon Diamond, the original Donkey Kong game, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Twilight Princess, and some other games that are on my shelf but I'm to lazy to look at and figure out which ones I should put in this post.

[spicysmoke]

Halflife 2 is cool, cant wait for orange box, itll be wicked, you sound like a pretty cool grandma lol my grandma is clueless with technology but still awesome

[tonz0phun]

I love Half-Life 2 and FPS in general. However, I got sucked into the MMO deals. Anyone else?

[daydreamer1]

I hate DDR now.My friend unlocked all the songs,but they are really crappy and so old.

[daydreamer1]

My friend has old school Atari,which totally owns,and someone else I knew had a Super Nintendo...garh!So jealous.lol

[Leatherfeet]

I just splashed out on a ps3, so I dont even have enough money to buy duct tape to make a stunt dummy. Oh well.

I made a thread but no one replied, but if anyone else happens to have bought a ps3 please add me online, I am called Chestman.

cheater!
lol jk
i think double agent was better than chaos theory

[Mattageddon]

the other resident evils dont count as one!

i think double agent was better than chaos theory

Sure they do... They follow the same story line... except for Resident Evil 4. I still haven't figured out how it ties into the others (except obviously for RE2).

As far as fun goes yes, Double Agent was better.But I also find them to be the hardest (CT and DA) I can't get past the last couple of levels because I get killed. CT: I'm stuck in the furnace room trying to defuse bombs.
DA: I forgot where I'm stuck at... somewhere on the ship I think...

[DarkForestFilms]

wow, let's see here, im not much of a video game person, but here goes.
1. Unreal Tournament
2. Army Of Two
3. Splintercell Chaos Theory
4. Gears Of War
5. Tekken 4

these are not in any specific order,
just, in my opinion, the best games i've played.
the funny thing is i only own Splintercell and Unreal
my X-box broke down, so now the only one i can play that i own is Unreal.
if we got a little more list space, i would put these.

6. Halo (all of them!)
7. Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne (mazes and kodo tag)
8. Grand Theft Auto

[CB2001]

So that's where the band got it's name from....


I wouldn't click that link to save my life.

Yeah, that's where Single File got the name (and pretty much the theme of a zombie invasion).

And why not? A lot of fans of the show actually prefer the game linked over the official BSG game because it actually captures the actual feel of the space flight/flying seen in the show. And the graphics are pretty good.

Was Revolution-X that Aerosmith game? where you launched CD's at people? I remember playing that at the arcade then renting it for my SNES. Good times, if that's the same game.

Yes, the one with Aerosmith, where you launch CDs at people. I am lucky that company that made it released the game on PC CD. It's like you're actually playing the game on your computer.

TBH, I kinda wished they made "Revolution X" into a movie. It would have rocked. But then again, I kinda wish "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" was made into more than "Revolution X"

[Patuman]

1. GTA SA (With mods)
2. Rainbow 6 Raven Shield
3. Red Alert 2
4. Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater (aka 3)
5. Marc Ecko's Getting Up

other good one's include Kill Zone Liberation (PSP), Need for Speed Underground 2, Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, Jet Li Rise to Honor, Tony Hawk American Wasteland and Project 8.... The list goes on :D

[Magical Monkey]

3. Red Alert 2


I loved Red Alert 2! the Soviet primeir is hilarious! and Yuri is just plain awesome!:D

[Patuman]

ahahaha, Yuri is the awesomeness...

All the lines like: "No tricks, Mr. President. In a few moments, I will unleash a tidal wave of psychic energy. Designed to dominate the minds of the enitre planet. There will be no more free will, only my will."

"We'll fight a life our death struggle against the powers of capitalism. Only complete faith in Yuri, can protect you. Only total compliance will save the lives of you and your family. Empty your mind, and submit to my will. The less you know, the better off you will be. I am Yuri. Obey me. "

they have a new bat man game???

[UndergroundLairProductions]

they have a new bat man game???
It's not due for at least another year, but the September issue of Game Informer has a cover story on it, and so far it looks fantastic.

The Joker, obviously. They seem to have gone with a more Jack Nicholsen-esque look, but he still looks like a total psycho.
http://cdn1.gamepro.com/article_img/gamepro/206614-4-1.jpg

Gee, I wonder who lives in THIS cell?
http://www.gamershell.com/static/screenshots/15090/335536_full.jpg

And who hasn't wanted to do this to someone?
http://www.gamershell.com/static/screenshots/15090/335512_full.jpg

Overall it looks pretty cool. Plus there's no pressure on the company making it to have it out by a certain date, so they can make sure it lives up to expectations.

[4 ITCHY TASTY]

yo being a batman finatic this is alsome

[ironman052992]

isn't bane supposed to be in it? i could only imagine how monsterous his cell is.

[Magical Monkey]

I got a PS3, me and my brother share a Wii and a PS2. I also got a PSP.

[UndergroundLairProductions]

isn't bane supposed to be in it? i could only imagine how monsterous his cell is.
Well, the confirmed list of villains making appearances in the game are as follows:
1. The Joker
2. Harley Quinn
3. Killer Croc
and
4. Zsasz

But considering the fact that the game takes place almost entirely within Arkham Asylum, it's fairly safe to assume that we'll be seeing the vast majority of Batman's nemeses in this game.
The article says that a lot of hints from the company making the game point to the Penguin, the Riddler, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, and Mr. Freeze being in it as well.
