Games

Is anybody else picking this game up? I know I sure am tomorrow after work. I haven't been this phyched for a game since GTAIV and that was like a whole month ago.

Not sure if this really belongs here or in the computer advice forum, but here goes. I'm considering picking up a PS3 for its Bluray capabilities and occasional game fun time. What wireless router do you recommend that will work well with the PS3? Other uses will include iPhone around the house internet access, and who knows, maybe a wireless music server a la Squeezebox at some point in the future. I was actually just at Best Buy (which I realized, tonight, without a doubt, that I hate, and I will try to never go in there again) and almost bought a standard Linksys router for $80 or so, but I got cold feet when I realized I didn't know if I'd need something more…

I've been feeling somewhat nostalgic for all the Infinity Engine games (BG series/Planescape/Icewind Dale series), and I was wondering if anyone has ran them successfully via BootCamp/XP? Any problems that I should be aware of?

I really enjoy this series. Has anyone else played it? I find it as good as Final Fantasy and unique because of its gameplay/combat and storyline. I recently saw they are working on the 3rd installment of the series for DS so I'm pretty happy. This is one RPG I reccomend anyone with PSP/PS2 to try out. The original is for PS1 but those cost around $90used and $250+new on ebay nowadays because of it's supply and demand. I'd say just play the PSP reprint with enhanced CG cutscenes.

Well, just wondering if anybody watched E3 this year. Not the craziest year, but Final Fantasy XIII going to the 360 is a pretty big deal. There was some cool stuff from the developers too. If anybody watched it, what did you think?

So we got a Wii from my parents for Xmas. Anyone have any good games they like?

So who bought Halo 3 today? Any impressions yet?

After being curious about the game for years but never knowing anyone who played, I finally found a group about six months ago and headed off to Wildemount. I absolutely love this game. Since then, I've started running my own games, all online (due to COVID and practical restrictions). Any other dorks of this particular stripe on HC?

Anyone else playing this? It's like those old Streets of Rage/Ninja Turtles/X-Men arcade side scrollers on crack. Get 3 friends and it's incredibly fun. Anyone with a 360 owes it to themselves to spend 12 bucks on it.

Purchased another mic. Got a code for the game included with the mic. Free to the first person that pm's me. Instructions on the back say windows only.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are two of my favorite PS2 games. I highly recommend any PS2 owners get these two games, you should be able to find both for under $20 each. Ico Shadow of the Colossus Both games have the most realistic environments I've ever seen in a video game and really make you feel like you're part of the castle or the imaginary world of SotC.

This is as cool as can be, and something I know that Shell will love. It's just amazing to me how it works. Watch the 3 videos for the math and such. http://www.loop-the-game.com/ So I got interested and emailed the guy for pricing. Turns out they're quite expensive, not surprising since they're handmade and quite tricky to get just right. Cost is £15,000 plus shipping. Gulp.

I just started playing Persona 5 and it is incredible. You don't get a lot of games with this level of style, deep storytelling, and variety. Persona 4 also had a killer soundtrack and I'd say this is one of the best reasons to get a Playstation. The only weakness of the games is their linear design and the slight repetition of the battles. In a way, I think the Persona games tell you more about modern Japan than Sega's Yakuza games (which are also legendary).

I just started playing this game last week and I have to say it's pretty amazing. It really reminds me of the classic Need for Speed games (Most Wanted, particularly – the first one). I didn't know there was an in-car view... that's what put me off the game when it was released. The graphics and physics are pretty good for an arcade racer. I'm looking forward to getting more cars and leaving Rookie status behind... life is all about money and rep. Also, the soundtrack is entertaining for the period. If you follow cars, this game will really date itself (2008). A lot of the cars (like the Cadillac XLR-V) are long extinct.

So tonight I was playing Resistance Fall Of Man. Deathmatch... which is basically a free-for-all. This one guy kept camping and spawn killing. I called him out and kept killing him since he was staying in the same spot. This guy got so pissed he said "Where do you live?" ? I told him... He says "I'm 20 minutes away. What's your address U fuck? I'll be there with my boys in 20 minutes." Needless to say the rest of the players were like WTF? Of course you know me. I had to keep needling and killing him! I tried to tell him that if my door came down then 12 gage buckshot would follow. Everyone was laughing by the time it was all over. Can't believe …

I've only found Mask of the Betrayer and The Witcher. Mass Effect is boring compared to those two. Any suggestions?

So I bought this a few days ago, I've been a big fan of whole Unreal series since the original UT came out. I'm happy to say that UT3 continues to have the same fast paced action and absolutely killer graphics as the previous iterations of it have. The Warfare game mode is pretty badass as well. Unfortunately the menu design absolutely blows. It looks like it was put together by a 5th grader and was clearly done so that it would play well with consoles. They are apparently going to fix this in a future patch so I'll be keeping an eye out of that. As I mentioned the graphics are really fantastic, the environment and character textures are well done and very detailed.…

I bought this game a few days ago and I can't stop playing. The game is amazing. It's become one of my favorite mario games ever. I like it even better than SMB3 (and I know such a claim is blasphemy!). It starts off way too easy but after the first 60 stars you collect then the game has a sharp incline of difficulty and that's when it gets fun. There is so much variety with the exception of collecting 100 purple coins in every level that something almost always feels fresh. I highly recommend this game.

This is one of the most amazing pieces of freeware that I've run across in ages. It's not for everyone but I think that for those of you that like it, will like it a lot. You can download it here for both pc and mac osx.

It's hard to say if this is just pathetic, kinda sad or funny but after 10+ yrs in development 3D Realms finally released a teaser trailer for Duke Nukem Forever HD Version

Gears of War 2 was announced at GDC today and it's scheduled to come out for the 360 in November.
