CrookedLink 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Just got a new laptop today. Can anyone recommend any good games that aren't too graphically demanding but still very fun to play?It's not a gaming laptop but its not a piece of shit either, so throw out some suggestions.I like everything from shooters to sports to real time strategy. Just no RPGs like WoW or anything like that. Link to post Share on other sites

And Tom Clancy's End War has been on my radar and will definitely be worth checking out when it comes out. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm skeptical of the company making COD5 because it's the people who made COD3, not COD4. COD3 was pretty half arsed imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Treyarch is putting a lot of effort into it. The online play looks so solid. Quantum of Solace, Fallout 3, Gears 2, COD:WaW, and Fable 2 all interest me so it'll definitely be tough finding time.

I was not a big fan of any of the CODs until COD 4, because it was modern. I'm hoping that the online play is good and that they offer cool guns and weapons.Anyone looking into SOCOM: Confrontation? I was a huge SOCOM 1 and SOCOM 2 fan back on PS2... Link to post Share on other sites
Jargonator 0 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just got a sweet 64 emulator, obv starting with Zelda OoT (worth looking for marjora's?), then mario 64, then probably Goldeneye. (gotta love 4way multiplayer, though from what i remember it usually just decends into a proximity mine war) maybe it's just nostalgia but these games seemed so much better than the new releases i've played.

I was a huge SOCOM 1 and SOCOM 2 fan back on PS2...I was a huge SOCOM fan but after the second one I really stopped playing it. I am not too sure about COD 5 but I have heard the online play is suppose to be crazy. And a lot of the guys I play COD 4 with are all looking at getting 5 so I might pick it up. I made another thread about it but figured I would just hype up the Saints Row 2 coming out today also. Gonna leave in a little bit to pick it up. Link to post Share on other sites
byaaatch 0 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I am at Prestige 5 level 20 something.I always go Prestige right when it's available. I definitely does keep the game challenging and fresh. I can understand that you really like having the 3 frag but when you go into the next prestige it will help you a lot in your overall game to not have to depend on it which will make you a better player over time. Also, you'll learn to use different guns that you don't have available in the lower levels, again very helpful in improving your all around game.I don't try to go for any gold guns, I think I only have the Desert Eagle in Gold right now. I told myself I'm going to get to Prestige 10 before doing this or trying to complete any every single challenge.Go Prestige. Trust me you won't regret it.The worst thing that will happen is that it'll take you 3 weeks +/- to get back to level 41 to get the 3 frag...I took your advice and I prestiged the about two days ago. I am already at level 17 and I gotta say for some reason it has made me a bit better with the game. The one thing I do miss though is the 3 frags cause I have a hard time with the c4. And the grenade launchers are hit and miss and to me the RPG is the worst thing. I have no idea how the hell to aim that damn thing. Link to post Share on other sites

By the time I was able to prestige to level 4, I did it. I suck. But already level 30. Link to post Share on other sites

CJHunt 0 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Been playing Little Big Planet. I know I will be in the minority but I am thoroughly unimpressed. I'm sure it would be cool to make some of the cool stuff I've seen but it takes WAY to long to build it. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Wife got me Dead Space for Sweetest Day. Pretty intense, only about 2 hours in but enjoying it. Link to post Share on other sites
Piddle Duck 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Deep SpaceReally enjoying this game. Not my usual genre but so far it has been fun. On chapter 4 right now.COD4Well I prestiged when I said I wouldn't so now level 35 4th prestige. Playing S&D and Headquarters makes leveling go much faster than playing TDM and FFA like I usually did.NHL 09Really got tied into my Coyotes franchise. Currently 28-22-4 and sitting in the 6th playoff spot. Turris is tearing up with 27 goals in his rookie season. Link to post Share on other sites

Speed Limit 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Been playing a lot of FIFA 09. Is anyone planning on getting Fable 2?Think I'm going to get it this week, I've got some things I want to trade in to pick it up and put down some pre-orders. Link to post Share on other sites
CrookedLink 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Been playing a lot of FIFA 09. Is anyone planning on getting Fable 2?Man I just can't used to FIFA 09.I dominate at the Semi-Pro skill level and win matches like 5-1 but I get crushed in the Professional skill level and only manage to squeeze out 1-0 wins occasionally.

I used to dominate FIFA 06 on PS2, but that was the last FIFA game I ever played, and it's quite different now. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Bought Rockband 2 today.I gave in and bought the instruments too, I wanted the new drums mainly. The new pedal is way better. The guitar works nicely too compared to the others I have, which both have different issues. Only played like 2 songs so far cause of dinner and the neg-o, but new layout looks nice, and they just tweaked a few things that secretly annoyed me.No screws on the guitar batteries now. Metal guard over the drum pedal and to start a band session, you have to hit start instead of green, so you don't get people hitting random buttons screwing things up. And the new drum trainer is pretty good. Gives a bunch of different types of beats and speeds to practice with.Those are the initial reactions.I'll probably sell my other instruments on Ebay and eventually get the GH world tour and possibly get an extra guitar from that too, so I have one of each, and I can decide what I like best. (Since they'll be compatible on for each others game PS3 this time around, yay.) Link to post Share on other sites
byaaatch 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 As for me still playing COD 4. After I finally prestiged for the first time @ level 30 I believe. Also been playing Saints Row. Really like saints row find it more fun to drive around than GTA IVHaven't gotten to try the multiplayer yet but hope to do it soon. Link to post Share on other sites

Jadaki 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Another ridiculously busy week for games. Fallout 3Can't wait to get this, buying the PC version because user mods will be fun. It's getting pretty nice reviews from the European trade magazines who got early copies. Link to post Share on other sites
