CobaltBlue 662 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Seeing as Daniel's a pretty big video game fan, I'm a bit surprised that there's not a forum for video games. I tried searching for a decent thread, but nothing came up.I've always been a pretty big Nintendo fan, so I'm looking forward to the Revolution, though I'm not sure I'm sold on the name 'Wii' yet.I've also been a big fan of rhythm games (DDR, Donkey Konga, etc), so when I noticed Guitar Hero (PS2) at Best Buy a few weeks ago, I decided to give it a try. I got hooked pretty quickly. When I went on a bit of a poker downswing, I wanted something to distract myself, so I went out and bought a PS2 and two guitar controllers just to play the game. I have to say that playing "More Than A Feeling" is really fun. I've turned quite a few friends into regular players as the game's pretty easy to pick up, but it's going to take a lot of practice to beat on the hardest difficulties.Since then, I've picked up some older PS2 games like MDK2 (I'd played the original on PC many many years ago) and Katamari Damacy (just as fun and addicting as everyone said).So yeah...any of y'all played these?

CobaltBlue 662 Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Online poker is the best video game ever invented.Yes, yes...that's the problem that my brother and I have talked about before. For a long time, we got into the mindset of "If I'm playing a video game, why play a game where there's no opportunity to make money?" Link to post Share on other sites
krup24 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I just bought this game of Capcoms Greatest Games. It has like 25+ games on it and it a flashback to some of the greats. I'm hooked. Link to post Share on other sites

Petoria 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Burnout: Revenge for PS2. Working on 100% completion while I'm on a bad run in poker.Can't wait for the PS3 or Nintendo Revolution. The problem with the PS3 is that it's going to be ridiculously expensive, so the nintendo looks like a better bet. I'm still pretty stoked about that Nintendo controller, thoughts?

cu in 4years Dan 1 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 nintendo sucks balls. i used to like them but since shiguiro miyamoto left ( i think he did) its gone downhill. i mean common dude a remote control for a controler???again not spam. its my brothers website so its not SPAMhttp://ps3central.org/also xbox360 sucks balls too. i played it for about 3 hours at a friends house and have decided that it is going to suck compared to the PS3.as for games im playing now...... GTA San Andreas is still huge on my list even though having completed it 11 times....... STEWIE FOR GOVENOR!to Petoria...i dont think the REV is going to take off anywhere other than the Asian contries.i saw the "official" specs the other day. its not going to be any better than the Xbox or the PS2.they say it is going to "wevowoutionise the gaming industwy. this is a compwetwy new game design..." they make it up as they go along.

Also price point this round is going to be huge, the average gamer isn't going to drop 600+ for a PS3 when they can get a 360 for 1/2 that or a Nintendo Wii for 1/3rd of it. Also have you actually looked at Nintendos controller, it's not a remote. It's 2 handed, and the part that looks like a remote flips sideways into a controller that can be used for the 100's of retro games that will be useable on the system. This makes it the ideal family system, affordable + hundreds/thousands of old 8-64 bit games avaliable for play at launch. Nintendo also makes the best multiplayer games, your kidding yourself if you think otherwise.By the time the PS3 launches, the 360 is going to be on it's second generation of games. This pretty much guarantees that the developers will be able to pull more out of that system than they can with first gen PS3 titles. Most software publishers say it takes 3-5 titles under thier belt before they really figure out what a console can do and push the limits. So PS3's superiior hardware (if they dont trim it down to cut cost) isn't going to be out preforming the 360 anytime soon.Miyamoto still works for Nintendo as a General Manager from what information I can find. it's actually considered a family business for him.

Regular fighting in the stages can get a little repetitive but thats a minor flaw. On a 1-10 scale i'd give it something like a 9.2, which is really high from me one on of these types of games.
