I know there are various video gaming threads all around this site (some here, some in "Gaming", etc), but I don't see enough game talk. Feel free to chime in with what you are playing or thinking about getting.

Last Thursday I picked up Call of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360. Best Buy was running a $40 sale so I used the advertisement for a price match at Wal-Mart. Boy, is this game good! Weapons and combat just feel right, and it is very cool have a competent "team" to support you. I finished the campaign on normal in just over a day but I began to play through it again on "Hardened" difficulty.

My roommate and I have been playing Resident Evil 5 (when I'm not in bed from this strep that seemingly won't go away).. It's terrifying, it's scary, and it's amazing. So good.

Posted by: ffman Mar 17 2009, 12:35 PM

Haven't played RE 5. RE 4 is one of my favorite games though.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Mar 17 2009, 02:33 PM

Try out the demo if you can... Very cool stuff.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Mar 17 2009, 02:49 PM

I played video games for the first time in 2 months last weekend. At my friends house we play Halo 3 On Xbox Live.

Posted by: ffman Mar 17 2009, 02:51 PM

Halo 3 was very fun on co-op. mvpujols#5 and I have played through it and Gears of War all the way through on co-op (partially on CoD 5).

I'm considering trying the new Grand Theft Auto for the Nintendo DS.

Edit: If I can get it. Wal-Mart shows it as not being sold in stores, only online. Weird for a game that could be such a good seller....

Posted by: ffman Mar 17 2009, 09:12 PM

I would if I was connected to Live but I'm not - I don't have the quickest internet connection at home.

I would like to get RE 5 at some time but there are other games I would like to try first - primarily Gears of War 2, maybe GTA 4, Dead Rising, Assassin's Creed, etc.

Posted by: wlalocal Mar 18 2009, 01:12 AM

COD 4 is waaaaaaay better than COD 5, IMO, although all my friends will only play COD 5. I have PS3, or I'd ask for your online tag...

Posted by: ffman Mar 18 2009, 11:24 AM

Don't have one any way. Haven't jumped into online gaming yet!

Posted by: snowblink Mar 18 2009, 03:19 PM

Setting up Unreal Tournament 2003 on the PC. Almost everyone finally has a copy since they can be picked up for $5...will see how it goes the next few nights.

Update: Going real well, it's even smoother than the last iteration with 5 players on the connection.

Posted by: Cades Mar 18 2009, 03:27 PM

Grabbed MLB 09 The Show and Street Fighter 4 last week for PS3, loving MLB so far havent even touched street fighter yet because of it

Posted by: dielonthug Mar 18 2009, 03:38 PM

agreed. In part because ever year the rights to make the game switch back and forth between companies, and this year the crappy company made COD 5. I actually play COD 3 some, lol.

Posted by: ffman Mar 22 2009, 07:58 PM

COD 4 is a great game.

I'm actually doing a second run-through which is rare for me (this fast). Hardened difficulty didn't give me much trouble until the final part of "One shot, one kill" where I am struggling. I gave up there and played through the first couple of levels successfully on Veteran (the hardest difficulty).

The final level of COD 4 (Mile High Club) is one of my favorite levels of any video games in recent memory. Short and sweet.

Posted by: KHarmon Mar 22 2009, 08:24 PM

I am absolutely addicted to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I'm hoping to have enough money to buy a PS III soon so I can get the Metallica version of Guitar Hero when it releases.

Posted by: ffman Mar 22 2009, 08:26 PM

I've played quite a bit of GH II and GH III. I have a Guitar Hero topic around here somewhere.

I'd like to play GH: World Tour or Rock Band but I can't justify nearly $200 for all of the accessories.

Posted by: cardinal Mar 24 2009, 04:30 PM

I used to watch my friend play Unreal Tourney 04 back when it was new. That game was awesome.

I'm currently playing (and have been playing):
Counter-Strike: Source on PC

and for console: Dragon Quest VIII on PS2.

Posted by: ffman Mar 24 2009, 04:36 PM

I've put close to 150 hours into that game but haven't completed it.

The last I played I was at the final dungeon but didn't have the patience to beat it..

Posted by: cardinal Mar 25 2009, 06:02 PM

Do you like it? I love it and am having a lot of fun with it. I'm 41 hours into it and am at the Dark Ruins about to find Dhoulmagus. (Just after Trodain w/ Prince Charmles) You have to be close because I knew someone who beat it in 130 hours and someone who beat it in 80 hours.

Posted by: ffman Mar 25 2009, 06:09 PM

I enjoyed it. Random battles got a tad annoying (since the world was so huge) and I occasionally had trouble keeping even gold for the latest equipment. I did finish the Monster Arena, which got frustrating toward the end.

A good deal of my 150 hours is "idle time" - ie, me leaving the game on while going into another room to check the computer.

Posted by: cardinal Mar 26 2009, 04:01 PM

Oh did you finish it?

Posted by: ffman Mar 26 2009, 05:46 PM

No. My attention is on my Xbox 360/partially DS right now.

Posted by: cardinal Mar 26 2009, 07:44 PM

Dragon Quest is on the DS. They remade IV and V (which were on the NES and SNES) and put them on the DS. They got great reviews, 9/10's on most sites. And the new one Dragon Quest IX is gonna be DS only which comes out late this year.

Posted by: ffman Mar 26 2009, 07:48 PM

I considered trying to get one of those but the local Wal-Mart (where I work and buy my games due to convenience) doesn't carry either game.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Mar 27 2009, 08:26 AM

played some more
MVP 2005 for the gamecube yesterday.
all i can say is most realistic baseball ever.

Posted by: cardinal Mar 27 2009, 09:26 PM

thats one of my favorite games ever. definetely best baseball game ever. 2K9 sucks so bad compared to that.

Posted by: sportscollector4life Mar 27 2009, 11:11 PM

I just beat COD WAW 5 AND UNCHARTED!! BOTH VERY GOOD GAMES...

Posted by: Dynasty1254 Mar 28 2009, 10:24 PM

Agree with you on this. I was really disappointed with WAW, and still play COD 4. Good news is the next modern warfare is on the way, and it's being developed by Infinity Ward, who made COD 2 and 4. They dropped the COD name completely and its going to just be called Modern Warfare 2. Release date of November 11 09.

Im already excited

Posted by: ffman Mar 29 2009, 11:46 AM

I beat Call of Duty 4 on Regular; I tried to go through on Hardened but the One Shot, One Kill mission is giving me a very hard time.

To offset the frustration there I tried to play through what I could on Veteran (the HARDEST difficulty level - a few shots and you are dead). It wasn't too bad until I got to "Hunted" - I can never get into the darn house via the basement door before the copter mows me down in seconds.

Posted by: KHarmon Mar 29 2009, 12:56 PM

You don't have to buy all of the accessories. You can get just the disc and play guitar to both of them. I don't know if the older guitars for GH are compatible but I know that the newer guitars can be used to play Rock Band.

Posted by: ffman Mar 29 2009, 12:59 PM

That is an idea.

I think the GH III controller might work with World Tour.

There's simply too much out there for me to easily decide what game(s) I want to go with. If World Tour sees a price drop down from $60 I might look at it in the future.

Posted by: cardinal Mar 29 2009, 01:31 PM

Oh has the COD series ever fallen. I don't think I'll ever see the days of COD and COD:UO again. Such good games.

Posted by: ffman Apr 22 2009, 02:51 PM

I'm trying to decide whether or not to purchase a new Xbox 360 game.

The reasonable answer would be to get nothing, especially considering I might have to go to the doctor for this cold/sinus infection/whatever.

But, I'm liking these three:

- Fallout 3
- Fable 2
- Assassin's Creed (only $30)

Edit: Nah, I think I'll just stick with Oblivion. Just getting into it again and it's a great game.

Posted by: michiganmaniac94 Apr 22 2009, 03:26 PM

I also play COD4 Online for XBOX. Way better then COD5 And MVP 2005 is also a sick baseball game. Other oldschool game I like is NBA Live 2005!

Posted by: ffman Apr 22 2009, 08:00 PM

Man I'm itching to play Oblivion. It's hard for me to get into it but once I do it's great fun.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Apr 23 2009, 08:42 AM

I don't know if you mentioned it but Left 4 Dead is a really fun game to play.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Apr 23 2009, 10:01 AM

Posted by: poodlum May 6 2009, 05:35 PM

shining force for the sega genesis is what i am playing

Posted by: ffman May 6 2009, 05:58 PM

I'm playing Dead Rising.

Much harder than I thought.

Posted by: KHarmon May 7 2009, 01:56 AM

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE!!!! Was shopping for something for my son's birthday and was looking for some PS2 games that he didn't have and I spied something that I thought was going to be released just for PS3. Guitar Hero Metallica is out for PS2. That will be one of his presents as he loves to play GH and Rock Band probably more than I do!!!!

Posted by: ffman May 11 2009, 05:13 PM

Just picked up a game for the Xbox 360 which I've been trying to find for a good while:

The Orange Box - contains Half-Life 2, HL 2 Episode 1/2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.

A few months ago I could find it at Wal-Mart, but this was before I had my Xbox 360. Now the local Wal-Mart doesn't carry it at all. Today after exchanging old college books I found it at.....the campus bookstore! It was priced $10 above the regular retail price ($30 rather than $20), but five games (four for me....I don't do online yet) for $30 is good.

Posted by: cardinal May 11 2009, 07:32 PM

L4D's multiplayer is sooo fun.

That's cool. It's not as good as it could be though because a lot of the games don't work well. (if they do work.)

Games I'm playing right now:

Dragon Quest VIII - PS2
FarCry - PC

and I only play this occasionally since I already beat it, Resident Evil 5.

Posted by: cardinal May 11 2009, 07:35 PM

I have TF2 and Portal. They're both great.

Posted by: ffman May 11 2009, 07:36 PM

I don't have Live so I won't be playing TF2. But, I rented HL 2 for the Xbox years ago and never completed it. I look forward to playing through it again along with Epi 1 and 2. Kinda excited to give Portal a try too.

Posted by: cardinal May 11 2009, 09:46 PM

Oh, I have it on PC so I don't have the problem of Live (which I don't and will never have)

Does anyone else play online games on PC or do you guys all do consoles online? (by online I mean COD, Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft etc. not mini games)

Posted by: historian1974 May 12 2009, 10:33 AM

I have played this a few times. It is pretty fun.

http://www.battlefield-heroes.com/

There's a deal going on at Gamestop right now that you can trade in a PS2 and any three games to get $100 off a PS3. They have another deal that you can trade in anything and get and additonal 30% bonus toward a Wii.

Posted by: Dynasty1254 Jun 2 2009, 09:47 PM

So did anyone watch/hear about E3? It's a really big game conference in LA where Sony, MS, and nintendo show off their upcoming games/systems. Some of the highlights for me were modern warfare 2 getting demoed,new psp, metal gear solid finnaly coming to x360, a new halo announced and L4D2. Sony and MS also showed off motion control things. What did you guys think of the announcements/demos?

Posted by: ffman Jun 2 2009, 09:50 PM

E3 had some big announcements altogether.

Don't know what to think of Project Natal by Microsoft. It could lead to potentially amazing things but personally, I want an old-fashioned controller when I PLAY a GAME.

I read up on a few great games that will be coming out....I was most amazed by some on the Wii. New Metroid, two new Marios, Red Steel 2, etc, etc.

I'm waiting for Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, and CoD MW 2 for Xbox 360 the most though..

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 2 2009, 10:23 PM

I caught bits and pieces of it tonight. I loved the previews of Assassin's Creed 2, Ghostbusters, Forza Motorsport and Mass Effect 2. More than likely, I will probably be buying Ghostbusters when it debuts and renting or borrowing the others.

Cody, you need to expand your video game experience and invest in Live my friend. I'm on almost everyday sitting there puttering around on NHL 09 endlessly.

Posted by: Cades Jun 3 2009, 11:07 AM

Grabbed UFC: Undisputed about a week and a half ago, boy is that game fun when playing with other people

Posted by: ffman Jun 3 2009, 11:08 AM

I've really never watched UFC, but I played the game with mvpujols#5 last weekend - fun!

Posted by: cardinal Jun 4 2009, 07:09 PM

Metal Gear Solid on 360.....*sigh*...seriously? See, that's why I hate Microsoft. MGS was and should always be a PS only franchise game. Imagine how mad halo players would be if that game went to PS3. (except Halo is a god awful game and MGS is legendary)

on a side note:

L4D2 looks awesome, and the new PSP looks terrible. Nintendo will always dominate any competitor in hand held combat.

Posted by: ffman Jun 4 2009, 07:47 PM

Halo is a great game - two completely different genres.

The same thing happened with Final Fantasy XIII.

You can't blame Microsoft - it's the game creator's decision where it goes. One of the older MGS games (Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance I think) was ported to the Xbox a while back, so this isn't a first.

Posted by: Solid133 Jun 4 2009, 07:54 PM

Oh thats disappointing that even FF 13 will be on both now. Hopefully God of War 3 will stay PS3 exclusive as that is the game I'm most looking forward to this year

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 4 2009, 08:02 PM

God of War III and the God of War franchise will forever be with PS3 and Sony. As for Halo, personally I only play when my friends are online. They (Bungie) come out with cool games for double exp from Thursday til Sunday which are always fun. MGS is a sweet series, when money is laid in front of certain people or companies, they will usually take their franchise hits. If Halo were to go to PS3 it wouldn't make me not play it anymore considering there is nothing I can do about it.

Posted by: ffman Jun 4 2009, 08:19 PM

The only games I can't see going multi-platform are Nintendo's exclusives, especially Mario/Zelda. Of course, many probably thought the same thing about Sonic years ago.

Posted by: Solid133 Jun 4 2009, 08:27 PM

Oh man I miss those days, nothing compared to Sonic and Sonic & Tails on Sega Genesis

Posted by: Dynasty1254 Jun 4 2009, 08:37 PM

Agree completely on the PSP. The joystick looks very awkwardly placed and the design is just plain ugly when slid open. And still no dual joysticks, way to go Sony. The price doesn't help either, $250 for 5 year old tech in a new case.

The MGS thing though is where I disagree. I for one, as a guy who only owns a 360, would not mind at all if Halo went multi-platform. In fact I would love to see exclusives done away with entirely and have one console and games, online services, and media that would work on one platform.



This is something I don't get. Will millions of other people enjoying the same game on a different console somehow make the game less enjoyable for you?
And by the way God of War III = a March 2010 release at earliest.

Posted by: ffman Jun 4 2009, 08:39 PM

That's a good idea theoretically but it would never work. No competition = significantly higher prices and no reason for a high quality effort or innovation.

Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jun 4 2009, 08:44 PM

That level drove me mad! Took forever to beat.

Posted by: ffman Jun 4 2009, 08:46 PM

I can't remember if I got past it or not on Vet difficulty.

The other level that gave me trouble was the second half of the sniper level, where you have to defend against the incoming terrorists while you wait for the rescue plane to come in. Couldn't get past it on Hardened difficulty either.

Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jun 4 2009, 08:49 PM

I still can't beat it on hardened either. That and "All In" are the two I still can't beat on veteran.

Posted by: ffman Jun 4 2009, 08:53 PM

I consider CoD 4 one of the most....refined....games I have ever played.

Based on the trailer for MW 2 at E3 it looks like more of the same is coming up in November.

Posted by: Dynasty1254 Jun 4 2009, 08:54 PM

Yup those are the problems. And the console companies hate the idea. On the other hand the developers would most likely support the idea, because it takes more money to produce for 2-4 platforms than just one. If the developers banded together and made it happen I believe we could see something like what I said, because without the games, the consoles are nothing.

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 4 2009, 10:32 PM

Halo was multi platformed when the first one was released. On the regular xbox as well as the PC.

CoD4 is a sweet game. I was totally turned off by it when it first released because I thought that it was "just another war game". Buddy of mine at school said I should look into it and it was nothing like the other COD titles. i.e. COD2, COD3. I do like World at War as well and have gotten the chance to play it on both 360 and PS3. Remarkable graphics+smooth gameplay= 10/10.

As for the Modern Warfare 2 soon to be coming out, this game looks legit and a bit of a strategy game. I do like RPG's as well as FPS.

Posted by: ffman Jun 10 2009, 07:34 PM

Currently playing Gears of War 2, which I rented today.

I rented and really wanted to play Assassin's Creed. However, it wouldn't work - it played for about 15 minutes and froze in the same place twice. I returned it and exchanged it with Gears of War 2.

Good game, just too much profanity. I will probably finish the 3rd out of 5 chapters tonight.

Posted by: Solid133 Jun 10 2009, 07:57 PM

I just saw the promo for Fight Night 4, I'm so pumped, Mike TYSON!!!

Posted by: cardinal Jun 11 2009, 06:38 PM

KID DYNAMITE!! Yeah I'm really lookin' forward to it.

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 14 2009, 11:13 PM

Ghostbusters Street release 6/16. You bet I will be at Gamestop at 10am.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Jun 15 2009, 08:57 AM

OK question time: My girlfriend found her old D/S that she never uses anymore and is letting me have it... Besides that crazy-looking Super Mario game for it, what games would people recommend I need for it?

Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Jun 15 2009, 09:49 AM

GTA Chinatown Wars and the Castlevania games are the best games I've played on the DS.

Posted by: cardinal Jun 15 2009, 10:42 AM

Many of the old classic RPG remakes, such as:

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy Tactics
Chrono Trigger
Dragon Quest IV
Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker


I also heard that GTA Chinatown Wars was excellent.

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 15 2009, 11:12 AM

Contra and Pong

Posted by: Kmart6nets Jun 15 2009, 11:27 AM

Thanks guys.. I'm not an RPG fan so I'll be staying away from those... any other suggestions?

Posted by: cardinal Jun 15 2009, 04:22 PM

Well 80% of the best games on the DS are RPGs. Just give one a try. Do it for me Tom, FOR ME!

Posted by: Kmart6nets Jun 15 2009, 04:35 PM

- OK what if I try ONE... What's the best one you'd say for a newbie like me... one that is NOT Final Fantasy (these games make me insane).

Also, what's the best Zelda game for D/S? I'm sure there's something out there I need that involves Zelda.

Posted by: ffman Jun 15 2009, 06:33 PM

Tom - I did not care for the Zelda on DS. To control Link you had to use the stylus all the time. It was a good game, but I didn't have incentive to actually finish the game.

I've had three DS. Get one - get tired and sell it - repeat 3 times. I have my third, but altogether my mother plays it more than I do. The Castlevania games were great fun on the GBA; I had a hard time finding any for the DS. Castlevania: CotM was one of my favorite games of all time.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Jun 15 2009, 06:47 PM

Hmmm well I'm a bit of a Legend of Zelda nerd so I'll be getting it either way - hopefully I have a better time with it than you did.

Castlevania sounds like fun, maybe GTA, but I tend to lose interest in those games quickly, Mario, Zelda, a random RPG that I'll try and hate - I'll search around online when I finally get it in (seeing her this weekend).

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 15 2009, 06:55 PM

Mario Kart for DS released, I think?!?!

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 15 2009, 07:25 PM

ATTENTION,,,ATTENTION,,,ATTENTION.

Xbox Live announced earlier this past week that they will be down starting 12:01am Tuesday morning for repairs and may take up to 24hrs.

I don't know if I can take such a thing happening. Ghostbusters releases tomorrow and I planned on playing online.

Posted by: ffman Jun 15 2009, 07:34 PM

Ghostbusters looks good Zim. IGN reviewer gave it a 8.0/10, which is pretty good for a movie/franchise-based game. I would consider getting it but I stupidly dropped $40 on another game (Fable II, which isn't as good as I thought it would be). If I get another game it would be Assassin's Creed for $30.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Jun 15 2009, 07:38 PM

Oh, I also have Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection coming in as well... 40 classic Sega Genesis titles! Can't wait!!

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 15 2009, 07:39 PM

That's because you have to play the first Fable, unless you already have. I thought Fable II was freakin sweet.

Posted by: ffman Jun 15 2009, 08:13 PM

I played and beat the original Fable - I thought it was a great game altogether.

Fable II is okay....just hard for me to get into right now. I think due to less playing time I'm more attracted to "shorter" games right now which throw you right into the action. For example, I beat Gears of War in two days recently. In the past, I would have hated a game as short as that game.

RPGs used to be my favorite type of game by far - the only one I've really truly ENJOYED for the 360 is Mass Effect. Oblivion is great, but it's almost too big.

Posted by: stlbaseball15 Jun 15 2009, 10:38 PM

Who like SPYRO!!!?????? Spyro was the first non-Nintendo videogame I ever played and I cant get enough of it since. Theyre even making a Spyro 3D movie that is out around Christmas!

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 16 2009, 01:13 AM

Ya'll never guess who I got a voice mail from........


























Dan Akroyd!!!!!! Called to tell me that Ghostbusters the video game is releasing tomorrow and be sure to pick up my reserved copy!!

Posted by: ffman Jun 16 2009, 09:50 AM

The original game was good.

Posted by: cardinal Jun 16 2009, 04:25 PM

I used to love to play Spyro 2 on my PS1 when I was younger.

Well. If your counting out Final Fantasy, I would definitely try Dragon Quest. They've made 3 for the DS:

Dragon Quest IV
Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

I've heard that all 3 of these games are great.

P.S. If you like Zelda, I hear that Zelda Phantom Hourglass is a great game.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Jun 17 2009, 06:23 AM

THE Conduit looks awesome for the wii
http://wii.ign.com/objects/142/14248157.html

Posted by: ffman Jun 17 2009, 09:18 PM

It does.

The Wii has quite a few great games either out or coming out. If it weren't for all of the duds constantly released I might have gotten a Wii over an Xbox 360.

In the future I will consider a Wii, possibly once a price drop occurs if it does.

Posted by: mjda Jun 17 2009, 10:17 PM

Are any of you Xbox360 owners the ones who try to get all the gamer score out of a game? I mean, do you play a game until you get all the achievements?

Posted by: ffman Jun 18 2009, 10:38 AM

Nope. I have pretty bad gamescores on most of my games, even the ones I've completed on normal difficulty.

Posted by: cardinal Jun 18 2009, 11:18 AM

The only game that I have a lot of achievements in is Resident Evil 5. I have about 45/50 achievements and will probably have them all soon.

Posted by: ffman Jun 18 2009, 11:26 AM

I think the most for me is Bioshock - not certain of the exact number I have but I have around 600+ gamer points.

Posted by: ffman Jun 19 2009, 01:47 PM

Just completed Half-Life: Episode Two.

Overall, the Orange Box is a great deal for $20-30 (retails around $20, but I purchased for $30 since it's not at the local Wal-Mart). It contains Half-Life 2, Episode One, Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress.

Right now I'm going through Assassin's Creed which I finally picked up. I can tell it is going to be repetitive, but at least the exploration is somewhat fun in comparison to other games.

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 19 2009, 03:46 PM

Older games I try to get all the achievements possible, for example; TMNT, Older Madden, Older Basketball. Basketball especially since games when 360 first released only had but 5 achievements. The most I have gotten with a game is 970 which is halo 3. I have a little over half of the achievements for it and the rest of them you have to do online team play.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Jun 22 2009, 07:48 AM

Well I got the D/S this weekend... I'm very excited for it

She doesn't have the charger so I ordered one super-cheap on Amazon for like $3.27 delivered. She didn't have any D/S games I'm interested in (she only had Nintendogs and like Sims Pets or something)... All I have for it right now is Super Mario World 2 for Game Boy Advance.. which I'm almost done with already

I'm not going to get any games until the charger comes in and I beat Mario World 2, which should be by the end of the week... then game #1 will be the New Super Mario Bros....

i don't see the wii dropping any time soon. as long as they keep selling as well as they have

Posted by: Dynasty1254 Jun 23 2009, 11:18 PM

I usually try to, but some games just have these achievements that you would have to be crazy to try and get. For example I'm playing Prototype right now and one of the achievements is to kill something like 53,000 enemies. I just finished the main story and saw that I was up to about 5000. Needless to say I'm not going to be getting 1000/1000 on that one.

The one I am most proud of getting 1000/1000 for is COD 4. Mile High Club on Veteran took me about 2 hours to finish and is the only time I have ever actually thrown the controller

OT: Has anyone else played Prototype? I just finished the main story and it was awesome despite not being perfect. Definitely recommend it to at least rent.

Posted by: cardinal Jul 6 2009, 05:12 PM

I heard it was awesome, look forward to playing it sometime soon.

Posted by: Cades Jul 6 2009, 05:50 PM

Boy does PS3 look awesome on the new TV

46" Sony Bravia... no more old crappy tv graphics

Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Jul 6 2009, 06:50 PM

I recently bought my first HDTV too and want to buy a PS3 for BluRay/games. I've been trying to hold out for the rumored PS3 price drop later this summer.

Posted by: Cades Jul 6 2009, 10:29 PM

Was a good deal at best buy over the weekend, same tv I had bought + a PS3 with blueray movie and a game for $1300, tv was 1100 on sale.. too bad I got the PS3 awhile ago otherwise I would have done that lol

Posted by: cardinal Jul 23 2009, 08:48 AM

Just got Company of Heroes for PC the other day. Such a great game, I reccomend it for anyone. One of the best RTS' i've played in a long time.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Jul 23 2009, 08:57 AM

Battlefield 1943 is so fun. Played the trial and now i want to get the full version .

Posted by: ffman Jul 26 2009, 03:02 PM

I hadn't posted yet - but I have Xbox Live!

Decided to finally sign up for the silver membership and was given a free month of Gold. It runs out in around a week; currently debating whether or not to renew it right away or wait until Christmas break.

I've been playing Call of Duty 4 quite a bit online....good fun!

Posted by: ffman Aug 5 2009, 12:41 PM

What's everyone playing right now?

I will likely be keeping with Call of Duty 4 online until next Thursday - when it's game time!

Posted by: metsfan2427 Aug 5 2009, 01:22 PM

Been playing alot of Battle Field 1943 and APF 2k8 and some bigs 2

Posted by: ffman Aug 5 2009, 01:24 PM

You were the guy who sent me a friend request.

I've considered getting Red Faction: Guerrilla or Call of Duty: World at War but I think I'll hold out for Madden 10 next Thursday.

Posted by: cardinal Aug 5 2009, 01:42 PM

Still playing Dragon Quest 8. I'm at the very last dungeon and just have to face the end boss once I get through it. I'm really close to the end.

Also started playing Counter-Strike Source again and my DS Lite with GTA: Chinatown Wars just came in today.

Posted by: ffman Aug 5 2009, 06:25 PM

The last time I played I was at the end dungeon too - just never had enough patience with it to finish.

I have GTA: CW but never got into it like the other GTA games. I might get back into it when college starts; I'll have more access to my DS in comparison to the Xbox 360.

Posted by: sportscollectoroz Aug 5 2009, 06:27 PM

You and I still need to arrange a time for Modern Warfare. You plan on getting Modern Warfare II, correct?

Posted by: metsfan2427 Aug 6 2009, 06:41 AM

yey i did cody. lol
I will be getting madden 10 on the 14th

Posted by: ffman Aug 7 2009, 12:21 PM

Indeed. Apart from Madden 10 it will be one of the few games I plan on getting at full price.

I play MW quite a bit on my days off. My next available day will be this Sunday and a good part of Monday (until around 5 PM).

Posted by: cardinal Aug 8 2009, 07:34 PM

The new Kingdom Hearts is coming to the DS September 29th! Just reserved it yesturday.

Posted by: ffman Aug 8 2009, 10:22 PM

I thoroughly enjoyed the first game but have yet to complete KH II.

I am very excited for Madden after watching a couple of videos online.

Posted by: monsta Aug 9 2009, 11:19 PM

Has anyone played UFC Undisputed?? After a few months I finally figured out how to block and reverse transitions on the ground lol.

It's a fun fun game.

Posted by: ffman Aug 10 2009, 10:49 AM

mvpujols#5 and I played a few matches when he had it. It was a fun game considering that I had no experience with the sport until playing it.

What are you guys playing now?

I hope I don't regret the decision, but I might not be getting Madden after all. I went on an impulse yesterday and bought a game on sale - Red Faction: Guerrilla for $50 (rather than $60). It's fun, but I kinda said I would only buy one more game this summer....and Madden was going to be that one game.

Posted by: Cades Aug 10 2009, 06:20 PM

Still playing MLB 09 The ShoW

Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Aug 11 2009, 08:22 AM

Just got a PS3 and I'm currently playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. I'm loving it so far. It's like playing an Indiana Jones movie. And the graphics are awesome. Any scene from this game would look great as a desktop background.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Aug 11 2009, 08:37 AM

I'm playing Mario Kart on the Wii on WFC which is like Xbox Live. Not really but you get the point.

Looks like I'll finally be getting a PS3. I don't know whether or not I will get the older or the newer one, as I don't really like the Slim's design. Releases the first week of September.

Posted by: cardinal Aug 18 2009, 09:13 PM

The Slim was announced over a month ago.

Just got back into Counter-Strike: Source and im loving it!

Beat Battle Field Bad Company i few days ago.
and have been playing alot of madden. quiters suck

Posted by: ffman Aug 21 2009, 11:18 AM

I have decided not to get Madden, at least not right now.

Instead I'm giving ESPN NFL 2K5 a go once again, messing with the rosters to try to "update" them a little bit. They're not very accurate (in some case I'm just editing out older guys to change the name, or guessing stats with created players) but it works.

Posted by: degibson84 Aug 21 2009, 11:22 AM

im still playing NCAA 10 building up draft classes for Madden

Posted by: cardinal Aug 21 2009, 12:59 PM

I did that about 3 months ago. Took me 2-3 days.

Posted by: ffman Aug 21 2009, 01:02 PM

There are fully updated rosters you can download but it's hard for with a PS2. I would have to buy some Action Replay CD/card combo to do it.

Posted by: cardinal Aug 21 2009, 01:13 PM

Yeah it's tough for the PS2 (which is what I have.) It took me a while but I was happy with it when I was done.

Posted by: ffman Aug 21 2009, 01:14 PM

I'm running a current Titans franchise on what I have done, but I'll likely tinker with the roster a bit more over the next week and go from there.

Posted by: cardinal Aug 21 2009, 01:38 PM

It's really annoying because there's so many more players that aren't in that game then you'd think.

Not to mention all the retired players I had to go through and change their rating to 0 and release them to free agency.

Posted by: ffman Aug 21 2009, 01:40 PM

I originally did that with Brett and had to go back in and change it.

I heard there's actually a limit to how many players you can create and edit.

Posted by: cardinal Aug 21 2009, 07:28 PM

There's a limit to how many you can create. How many you can edit is infinite.

Posted by: bigbluecolt93 Aug 21 2009, 08:01 PM

I don't mind the quitters too much, since they still count it as a win. But it drives me crazy when a player "disconnects" Yea. Right. Your connection was perfectly find up until the point where the close game I was playing was blown open in the 4th quarter and then he all he has to do is go to the dashboard....

Posted by: metsfan2427 Aug 22 2009, 04:02 PM

yey i guess.
got 13 more months of live today. so woot.

I got my Madden 10 fix this weekend playing a few games with mvpujols#5.

Altogether, it's pretty good but I'm glad I chose not to purchase it. The Extra Points show, from what I saw of it, is pretty bland. It also stinks that on semi-long plays you can't even watch the entire replay. I really couldn't notice a huge difference in the running game like has been reported, except that AP is an absolute beast altogether. The animations were excellent though; we updated the rosters online to include Favre and Vick. Favre's throwing animation was perfect.

ESPN NFL 2K5 with semi-updated rosters will do good enough for me.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Aug 23 2009, 05:04 PM

i agree. extra point sucked. 2k5 was way better

Posted by: cardinal Aug 27 2009, 06:34 PM

I bought Madden 10 last week, and to say the least, I'm very disappointed with it. Will probably sell it and buy NCAA Football 10

Posted by: metsfan2427 Aug 27 2009, 06:44 PM

seriously i think it was great. but once agian it was to over hyped. it wasn't as great as it sounded.

Posted by: cardinal Aug 27 2009, 07:31 PM

Passing is too difficult and the extra features (the very few that there are) suck. I had more fun with 09.

Posted by: ffman Aug 28 2009, 10:52 AM

I'm glad I didn't buy it.

It seemed improved over 09 from my brief time with it, but nothing I really noticed other than slightly better graphics and Pro-Tak.

I thought passing was slightly easier this year, but then again I was playing against human competition and not against the AI.

Posted by: bigalexx Aug 28 2009, 12:19 PM

I'm loving Madden 10. I think the game is the best the series has ever produced!

Posted by: ffman Aug 30 2009, 04:05 PM

College begins tomorrow (senior year) which once again means less time for gaming.

Last week I began playing Halo 3 online. After first purchasing Halo 3 a few months ago I didn't care for online, but now that I've given it time it's pretty fun.

Last night I tried to progress a little further on Call of Duty 4 veteran difficulty. Following many attempts I completed "Hunted" (took a while to figure out how to get past the chopper at the end) and the level after it.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Aug 30 2009, 06:07 PM

sadly the same for me
Starting my Junior year of HS.
no more playing video games 6+ hrs a day.

Posted by: ffman Aug 30 2009, 06:09 PM

I left my 360 at home as I have a rougher course load (or so it seems).

I did bring my PS2 with ESPN NFL 2K5 and MLB Power Pros 2008.

Just wait til you reach Mile High...

Posted by: ffman Aug 31 2009, 10:34 AM

I've already tried it and failed miserably.

I can't even get past OS OK on Hardened so I know Vet will be tough. I haven't beaten MHC on Hardened either yet.

Posted by: bigbluecolt93 Aug 31 2009, 01:37 PM

For OSOK, I take the non-manly way on veteran...I hide in the booth next to the bumper carts

Posted by: ffman Sep 1 2009, 06:47 PM

I tried that on Hardened but grenades got me.

Posted by: bigbluecolt93 Sep 1 2009, 10:30 PM

It's much easier than trying to survive. I'm not the best COD player, so this was the way to go for me. Give it a few tries. Gotta be patient. Go prone and under the counter and face the doorway. Plant C4s or claymores or whatever around the booth, and when the chopper gets there, blow em, and make a run for Captain. Make sure to shoot the guy on the Ferris Wheel platform so he doesn't get you. Good Luck!

Posted by: ffman Sep 11 2009, 11:54 AM

The new Need for Speed game is getting good reviews.

I don't know about the lack of a "chase" aspect of the series but it appears to get the "Speed" part very good.

And for DS fans:

A new Mario and Luigi RPG is being released next week and also looks to be good. Gotta love the massive amounts of humor in the series.

Posted by: mjda Sep 11 2009, 02:57 PM

The only achievement from that game that I have yet to get on ANY of my xblive accounts!

Posted by: cardinal Sep 11 2009, 02:59 PM

I've been done with NFS ever since Hot Pursuit 2 came out ages ago. NFS Underground was one of the worst racing gmaes I've ever played and it got a 55 from metacritic. (Metacritic takes reviews from all different sites and averages them out, in this case, NFSU got an average score of 55/100 out of about 20 or so reviews.)

Needless to say, I don't think the new NFS will be much better.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 11 2009, 03:22 PM

NBA live 10 demo is now on XBL.
overall it looks much improved.
But will have to wait for 2k10 demo of which one i like better

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Sep 11 2009, 07:26 PM

I busted out Grand Theft Auto 3 and beat until the last mission and I can't pass it.

Posted by: ffman Sep 12 2009, 12:01 AM

9.0 from IGN - it's going in a different direction (almost more of a simulation-type but still with an arcade feel).

Two of my favorite racers ever were Hot Pursuit and Hot Pursuit 2. I also enjoyed Underground and slightly Underground 2 - really enjoyed the customization options in both games.

Posted by: baseballguy601 Sep 12 2009, 12:36 AM

NHL 10 releases on Tuesday

Posted by: bigbluecolt93 Sep 12 2009, 07:24 PM

I recommend buyin NHL 09. From the 10 demo, it's a very similar game. The only upgrades are a new game mode (playoffs), improved fights, and board play. NHL 09 is easily the best sports game I have every played, and NHL 10 I also expect to be a fantastic game. I just don't think it's worth $60 for a few (not very big) upgrades.

Posted by: cardinal Sep 12 2009, 09:54 PM

HUGE MISTAKE !! I meant to say UnderCOVER. Not Underground. I sort of liked Undergound 1 and 2. But Undercover is what I meant to say, the one that came out last year. That game sucked.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Sep 13 2009, 09:13 AM

I'm not big into the arcade-style racing games. I love me some Gran Turismo!

Posted by: ffman Sep 13 2009, 11:52 AM

Ah, gotcha!

I really haven't touched a NFS game since Most Wanted.

Posted by: ffman Sep 13 2009, 11:54 AM

Grand Turismo is one intense (and in-depth) game. I didn't get into the series until Gran Turismo 3, but I played the heck of it and GT 4. However, I usually quit the game once I reached the Endurance races....something I never had the endurance for!

The concept of taking one car and upgrading is so alluring though. I had certain cars I continued to use even if better things came along. One of my favorites in either 3 or 4 was the Mitsubishi Lancer after upgrading.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 13 2009, 05:21 PM

i have to agree with that.
i just got 09 Friday. and after playing the demo for 10. the only differences i found was the ones you mentioned

Posted by: Luke2411 Sep 14 2009, 11:12 AM

I recently tried out two new (to me) video games.

I bought Ghostbusters for the Wii. It was very fun. The only problem was that it is a very short game, only about 5 hours or so of game time, but I had a blast catching ghosts and putting them into traps. The only drawback is, it's pretty easy to get through the game. I made it through with very little trouble. Now I didn't collect all the things I can collect, so you can always go back and try to do that.

The other game was Resident Evil: Archives. I didn't like it at all. A couple of things:

1. It was too dark. There were parts where I could literally see nothing. Maybe it's supposed to be that way because you're in a dark mansion, but it hurt my eyes.

2. What's with the typewriter ribbons? Why can't you just save every time you find a typewriter. I thought that was really dumb especially since it's so easy to get lost in the mansion, find a bunch of random stuff that you'd like to save for, and then you just get killed by a zombie and have to start all over again.

3. No one bothered to tell me that it's easier to start the game by being the woman.

Anyhow, those are my reviews.

Posted by: ffman Sep 14 2009, 03:44 PM

Thanks for posting Jeremy!

I have wanted to try Ghostbusters on the Xbox 360 but it isn't a priority for me right now.

If you want a good Resident Evil experience, try Resident Evil 4. Ammo is still limited (and inventory), but to the best of my memory there is no "ribbon" requirement for saving. Movement and such is a little better too.

Posted by: ffman Sep 14 2009, 08:44 PM

Gaming site Kotaku reported an early Toys R Us ad - supposedly the Wii will be getting a $50 price cut to $199 at the end of September.

Debating getting one. A few PC cards and a DS/360 game or two, or a Wii and one game?

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 15 2009, 06:50 AM

buy my wii.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Sep 15 2009, 07:33 AM

The Wii is fun... I recommend it more if you have some people around you plan on playing with.

Posted by: ffman Sep 15 2009, 11:14 AM

I would but consider it but I couldn't buy your entire package.

There are only a few select games I want to play on the Wii - so I would likely buy the system (new for $199) and maybe one game for now.

But, I'm considering buying a new DS game or two (which I can bring with me to campus) this week.

Posted by: baseballguy601 Sep 15 2009, 11:23 AM

I have 09

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 16 2009, 07:20 AM

ok cody.
if you only going to get a game or two. i would just skip the wii for the time being. and just get 360 games or something like that

Posted by: ffman Sep 16 2009, 12:03 PM

That's what I'm thinking about doing for now.

Maybe getting a few DS games....try to get back into playing that a bit since I can easily carry it to my dorm without having to lug a lot around.

Posted by: Luke2411 Sep 16 2009, 12:40 PM

Cody,

The Wii is mainly best for group games. If you have people over a lot then the Wii is great. Personally, I would rather have a PS3 or XBox360 because of the better graphics and game selection. But my wife really loves the interactiveness of the Wii. It's really the only reason she enjoys video games at all. She won't play the other systems. Plus when we have people over for parties, it's a blast putting everyone into bowling teams and things like that.

So, unless you are doing those things, I would stick with the other systems and just buy new games.

Posted by: dd316 Sep 16 2009, 12:54 PM

I've been playing a lot of Left 4 Dead lately. I know the new one comes out soon.


I'm excited about the next Splinter Cell game, that comes out late October. Those games are so much fun!

Posted by: ffman Sep 16 2009, 01:08 PM

I mainly game alone unless I'm playing my 360 online.

The main games I would like to try on the Wii are:

- Super Mario Galaxy
- Super Paper Mario
- Medal of Honor Heroes 2
- etc

Just a few games here and there....I guess nothing worth $200 right now over.



Ted - is L4D "playable" online without a headset (ie....not having a headset wouldn't ruin the experience)? It's something I would like to play but I've heard communication is fairly important with that game.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Sep 16 2009, 01:25 PM

Super Mario Galaxy is a BLAST! It's a bit different from Mario 64, but in that good Mario way that makes it fun. You really can't go wrong with it. I also really want to get Super Paper Mario (which also looks AMAZING), but haven't had the extra cash as of yet.

Posted by: cardinal Sep 16 2009, 02:27 PM

Super Paper Mario is very fun. I've yet to play Galaxy but have been wanting to for the longest time. It's gotten great reviews.

Posted by: ffman Sep 16 2009, 04:53 PM

I had heard rumors of this before (I think related to a German? sales ad) but this is this first official US thing I've found regarding it.

I think the 60 GB I get around Christmas will be enough for me.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Sep 16 2009, 07:01 PM

This weekend I'm having some friends coming over for my birthday and were going to play a whole bunch of Halo 3 on Live maybe some COD. Also were going to play some COD on my Wii. It's going to be fun.

Posted by: ffman Sep 16 2009, 07:02 PM

Cool!

If I have my work schedule right I might be online after 6:30 or so (CST) Saturday night, likely playing Call of Duty 4 (possibly a little Halo).

Feel free to hit me up - ffgameman - if you're playing then.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 16 2009, 07:04 PM

cody how is halo. odst looks really fun. and it has all the maps from halo 3 on it

Posted by: ffman Sep 16 2009, 07:06 PM

When I first got it (I bought it for MP; I had already beaten the campaign on co-op with a friend), I was really disappointed. I didn't know going in that play was restricted based on the DLC. (I have no hard drive which = no DLC)

After trying it again though it is ok. Not as good for me as Call of Duty 4 (which blows everything else out of the water) but good.

If you want to play Halo for multiplayer, get ODST for the reason you mentioned. All DLC (plus three new maps) on the multiplayer disc.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 17 2009, 05:57 AM

alright. thanks will check out a demo when it hits XBL.

Posted by: Zimbow Sep 19 2009, 05:11 AM

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ODST street date release 9/22/09!!!!! Already reserved it and can't wait to get it home and stay up til 8am the next day!!! Call me a nerd, geek or just a hardcore halo/bungie fanatic, I dont care!!!. Included with the ODST (if you reserved it) is the Halo: Reach beta which will later be opened up to the people that reserved ODST. Plus you get to play as Sgt. Johnson from the Halo trilogy. ODST will feature FireFight, which is like Horde on GOW2. You can unlock characters and FireFight levels when you beat certain ODST levels. I encourage anyone who is a fan of the Halo Trilogy to pick up, rent or simply borrow this game from someone who has it!!!!!!! O btw, Halo:Reach releases in 2010!

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 19 2009, 07:25 AM

Been on fire in 1943.
finally got the 20 kills in a game achievement.

Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 11:29 AM

Played a little Call of Duty 4 last night for a change.

Had one of my best matches EVER on Bog. Not in regards to kill total, but K/D ratio.

I started on the "far" side of the map, behind the bus. I had the M40 sniper with Stopping Power and went 19-1. I basically "camped" in one location the entire match although I did occasionally change my sniping spot; I'm surprised I was only killed one time.

At the start of the match I killed two guys with one bullet.

Posted by: Zimbow Sep 22 2009, 04:48 AM

Halo 3: ODST, I rate it a solid A. I don't/won't go into too much detail.

Posted by: ffman Sep 22 2009, 11:40 AM

If I got it it would only be for the Halo 3 MP disc with all maps. But, I should probably get a hard drive and a $20 points card instead.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 22 2009, 04:49 PM

Played the Call of Duty WAW demo today. and really liked it.
want to get it shortly

Posted by: ffman Sep 22 2009, 04:53 PM

Modern Warfare is much like it except with modern weaponry.

And, you don't get kicked out of matches if you don't have certain DLC maps like you do with WaW.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Sep 22 2009, 05:48 PM

o that sucks. how much are the map packs.
plus i am just better with older weapons. don't know why lol

Posted by: ffman Sep 22 2009, 06:15 PM

There are a few. You would probably spend $30-40 in Microsoft Points to purchase all of them. That's the reason I don't have WaW - no hard drive to store the packs. If you don't have the proper maps you are kicked out of the game. Kinda like how Halo 3 only lets you play certain modes if you don't have all the DLC.

thanks for the imput cody

Posted by: cardinal Sep 22 2009, 09:45 PM

I FINALLY beat Dragon Quest 8 yesturday. One of the best games I've ever played. I highly reccomend it to anyone. Cody you should seriously try to finish it. You said you had a very high amount of hours in it, I forget the exact number, but you probably weren't too far off. If you decide to play it again and need guidance, let me know.

--

Yeah COD4 and COD5 run the exact same engine just with different maps and different weapons. They are virtually the same game.

Posted by: ffman Sep 23 2009, 10:19 AM

Thanks. I simply need to get a few more levels in to finish off the final area but I don't have the patience to do it.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Sep 23 2009, 07:55 PM

I got Call Of Duty WAW for the Wii today. Yet to play it yet but I rented it before.

Posted by: stlbaseball15 Sep 24 2009, 10:05 PM

Arkham Asylum is soooooo tight

Posted by: chopinalex Sep 24 2009, 10:08 PM

I got metal slug anthology for the wii

got to love 2D side scrolling shoot em up games! reminds me of playing Contra back in the day!

Posted by: athopesend Sep 26 2009, 05:40 PM

I agree, Arkham Asylum is an awesome game and being that I am a huge Batman fan this game is one of the best I played, especially the Scarecrow encounter. This game would make a great movie as long as they kept it evil and dark like the game.

Posted by: 5toosweet Sep 26 2009, 10:07 PM

Contra was one of my faves back in the day. I miss playing that game.

Posted by: Zimbow Sep 28 2009, 10:33 AM

Yes, but at the same time, there are game types devoted to players/gamers that do not have the "newer" maps. Social slayer, Rumble pit, Lone Wolves and Team Slayer. All in all, if you do not own the new maps, its all good because you can still play all the other 10+ maps from the original release.

Posted by: ffman Sep 28 2009, 10:54 AM

I can't play Team Slayer or Rumble Pit with my Halo 3 (no DLC).

But this weekend I think I am going to pick up a hard drive and ODST.

Posted by: Zimbow Sep 28 2009, 11:18 AM

Its about time. Gamestop has 20 gb for 50.00 and 40 gb for 70 and 60 gb for 100. I think the fact that Microsoft dropped the Elite to 300 is awesome, 120 gb of memory is more than enough for anything pertaining to the xbox live experience. The Limited Edition Modern Warfare xbox is a replacement to boost sales since the Elite has dropped in price.

Posted by: ffman Sep 28 2009, 12:39 PM

I'll be getting the 60 GB from Wal-Mart - $100 minus 10% discount.

I thought about getting a 1600 Live points card and simply downloading the Halo 3 DLC, but on my internet connection speed it would take several hours. I'll likely get Halo 3: ODST so I can skip all that downloading.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Oct 3 2009, 07:36 AM

got another 20 kill game on battlefield 1943 a couple days back

Posted by: ffman Oct 3 2009, 09:49 AM

Picked up ODST yesterday.

I was having a fairly good time until my internet connection lagged out last night (and this morning).

One word, EPIC.

Look at the location at 1:28. I always hoped someone would make a quality game in that setting.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Oct 5 2009, 06:30 AM

Toy R Us. Next week is running there buy 2 get the third free any games, any system

Posted by: Cades Oct 7 2009, 03:56 PM

Been played Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 the last couple weeks, pretty fun

Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 01:30 PM

I borrowed Call of Duty: World at War from Landon Saturday. I had a chance to play a few matches last night, and the gameplay is quite different (in my opinion) from Modern Warfare. Maps are much more open (something I don't like) and the weapons themselves are different.

On one match I racked up 30 kills using the Type 99....the high total was thanks to a well-timed pack of hungry dogs. Yet....my team found a way to lose the match.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 11 2009, 03:34 PM

I hate the Type 99! I like anything with a scope. I've been playing the Campaign on the Wii, I was doing good. I'm stuck now, because it's something with tanks and it's so hard.

Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 03:37 PM

Landon and I beat the campaign (Xbox 360) on co-op this weekend. It was frustrating but only took about 5-8 hours.

I can't wait to unlock the aperture sights for several of the guns, but it takes long to get the sights on multiplayer than it did with CoD: MW.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 13 2009, 07:55 PM

I beat the campaign yesterday, now I'm doing the challenges online. Fun stuff.

Posted by: ffman Oct 18 2009, 08:02 PM

Anyone gonna try Borderlands?

Posted by: metsfan2427 Oct 19 2009, 07:07 AM

think i am going to pass on that.
just doesn't seem like a game i liked

Played COD2 yesterday and beat the first 5 or so missions.
Really fun game besides when your being attack by tanks

Posted by: ffman Oct 19 2009, 04:48 PM

I am thinking about it.

Just gotta decide for certain what I really want to get over the next few weeks.

Edit: After looking at reviews and videos this game looks nice.

Posted by: Tromni Oct 20 2009, 10:30 AM

Anybody else as excited as I am for Dragon Age: Origins?

It's from Bioware, the same people who did Mass Effect and both Knights of the Old Republic titles (plus Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights if you go back far enough)

I love fantasy RPG titles, played Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights a ton, and I absolutely loved the Knights of the Old Republic games.

Only thing that makes me nervous is the mature rating. I'm quite certain that no video game requires the "partial nudity" that is in the rating warnings, and I'd really rather not have to deal with that popping up on my TV screen during the middle of an otherwise normal game. I'm hopeful that it's optional content and not part of the main story arc though.

Posted by: ffman Oct 20 2009, 11:29 AM

It shouldn't be that bad.

Mass Effect had the same warning and the actual "partial nudity" was minimal (and was part of an extra side "romance" storyline).

I would be excited for Dragon Age but it is hard for me to get into lengthy single player games like I did before. Plus, my $60 will be going towards Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and possibly Borderlands.

Who knows though....depending on reviews and such I might check it out. Mass Effect and KOTOR were great games; Mass Effect remains one of my favorite role-playing games off all-time - such a great story and atmosphere.

Posted by: skatalite Oct 20 2009, 04:29 PM

I've been addicted to "Fallout 3." I'm about 26 hours in and have only done one mission for the main quest. Haha.

I bought "Batman: Arkham Asylum" when it came out and sold it four days later. Sorry, but spending $60 on a 10-hour game isn't worth it. I thought it'd be longer. Oh well, got $50 back. Good game, but I hate how the enemies don't respawn.

Posted by: cardinal Oct 20 2009, 04:54 PM

Pre-ordered it off steam for 45 bucks the other day. (Steam is a client for the PC that has a friends list and a store, and you also need it to play Valve games such as Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Source)

I'm really pumped for it.


Saw that on Steam the other day, looked pretty fun but I just don't think I want to pay full price for a game that I don't know much about and haven't seen much of.

Posted by: ffman Oct 20 2009, 04:55 PM

Fallout 3 is a game I've wanted but never plopped down the money for. I have Oblivion and have yet to complete it - sometimes the character customization possibilities are too much for me. I know Fallout 3 is very similar in that regard.
But, at $40 I might consider it in the future....just depends on what else I do or don't decide to buy.

In regards to game length - I used to feel that way. That is likely one way I preferred RPGs so much. Now that I find myself with less time for gaming, I don't mind the shorter game experience. That said, I am pretty good about waiting until the price drops.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Oct 20 2009, 06:56 PM

really can't wait for MW2. looks really good.
then of course i can't wait till BC2 comes out either.

Posted by: ffman Oct 20 2009, 07:00 PM

I have a dilemma (video game style, of course).

My Xbox Live Gold membership expires in November - I plan on laying $20 down for another 3-month membership to hold me until Christmas when I will probably get a year.

Next month, MW 2 releases - a no-brainer for me. That's $80 right there.

But, I also want to get either Borderlands or Fallout 3 ($60 or $40).

What do I do? Quit buying cards for a while and get Live/2 games....or buy a couple of cards and just get Live/MW2?

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 20 2009, 07:51 PM

Live/MW2.

Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Oct 20 2009, 09:04 PM

Playing Uncharted 2 right now. It's so hard to put down!

Posted by: ffman Oct 21 2009, 04:56 PM

It looks great; if I had a PS3 I would likely get it.

I think the GOTY battle will be between Modern Warfare 2 and Uncharted 2. I think, undoubtedly, MW 2 will feature the longer-lasting multiplayer experience but Uncharted 2 appears to have a fantastic single-player mode.

Next month will be great between Assassin's Creed II and Modern Warfare 2.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Oct 21 2009, 06:58 PM

i guess your getting the prestige edition of MW2

Posted by: ffman Oct 21 2009, 07:01 PM

Goodness no, lol.

$60 is enough for a game for me right now.

Posted by: Zimbow Oct 23 2009, 05:59 AM

Borderlands....... I can't turn off my Xbox. It's so addicting. Currently I am working with the Soldier. I am a LvL 30 with Tactician. If anyone needs help with missions and what not, hit me up on live. GT: RGC Rapture.

Posted by: cardinal Oct 23 2009, 08:47 PM

I bought in on PC which means I can't play it until the 26th.

Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Oct 23 2009, 10:43 PM

Amazon has a promotion that gives you a $20 game credit for your next video game purchase if you preorder Modern Warfare 2. I think Walmart.com also has the same promotion. Wasn't planning on getting MW2 right away (I haven't got around to finishing the single player campaign in the original yet), but this deal is tempting.

Posted by: patstigs3712 Oct 23 2009, 10:57 PM

Can't wait for cod modern warfare 2, looks amazing!

Posted by: ffman Oct 28 2009, 11:32 AM

Your posts are clouding my thought process!

Borderlands, MW 2, Fallout 3, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (just read the book made about the game - great!); what do I get?

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 29 2009, 02:35 PM

I'm still playing COD WAW. I got to level 49 last night! Trying to complete all of the challenges.

Posted by: ffman Oct 29 2009, 05:22 PM

I like WAW, but hate getting kicked from matches since I don't have all of the DLC (Xbox 360).

It has a different feel from Call of Duty 4 - the maps are more open-ended it seems. I do enjoy going on a spree with the Type 99 on World at War.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 29 2009, 05:24 PM

I go to town with the Type 100. Right now because of the challenges I'm using Double Barreled Shotgun and M1 Garand.

Posted by: ffman Oct 29 2009, 05:26 PM

I haven't unlocked the Type 100 (I've been playing mvpujols#5 copy he let me borrow), but I'll probably like it when I do.

For all the hype around it I don't care too much for the MP40.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 29 2009, 05:31 PM

It's not the best but it's not the worst. I loved the Ariska during Campaign but it takes so long to reload on Wifi.

Posted by: ffman Oct 29 2009, 05:50 PM

mvpujols#5 kicks tail with the Arisaka (we beat the campaign co-op), but I can't get the hang of the sights for some reason.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 29 2009, 05:54 PM

On Campaign I did the same. But I can't do it on Wifi. Right now I'm trying to beat the Double Barreled Shotgun challenges.

Posted by: cardinal Oct 30 2009, 05:14 PM

COD4 and WAW run the same engine. WAW is basically the exact same game as 4 only with WWII skins.

Posted by: ffman Oct 31 2009, 10:47 AM

I know. I just don't like getting booted from matches I don't have the DLC for on WAW.

Call of Duty 4 offers one map pack but doesn't kick you if you don't have it.

I kinda prefer the more "close-quarters" combat on Call of Duty 4 too.

Posted by: ffman Oct 31 2009, 12:26 PM

Oh, for my game problemo:

I went with Fallout 3. I am going to wait until around Christmas for Modern Warfare 2 so I can get the most out of Call of Duty 4.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Oct 31 2009, 02:35 PM

Well there is becoming a huge shot that the ps3 may be the last system from sony.
With sony taking 4.7 billion in looses so far with the ps3.
Including a 600 million dollar loose in the second quarter this year.
Could this be the end of the play station

Here is what i see happening. Sony goes back to using cheaper hardware like they used in the ps2. loose a lot support from the people who
or we will not see a ps4. unless they find a way cheaper way to make it

don't think sony will go under. but wouldn't be shocked if they dropped their gaming section

Posted by: cardinal Nov 2 2009, 06:40 PM

I don't know about stats, but just from pure production, the PS3 absolutely SMACKED the 360 in 2009. PS3 really shined this year.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 2 2009, 07:07 PM

only for the past month it has sale wise

Posted by: Cades Nov 3 2009, 09:11 AM

Picking up Dragon Age: Origins and Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crank in Time today, just finished the Tools of Destruction, fun game for sure

Posted by: ffman Nov 3 2009, 10:19 AM

I picked up Fallout 3 last Friday so my video game purchases will be limited for a while. Let us know how Dragon Age is once you get to playing it.

Ratchet and Clank was so fun on the PS2....that's one game I miss by not having a PS3.

Posted by: cardinal Nov 3 2009, 07:42 PM

Again, I wasn't talking about sales. But all year long the PS3 has released exceptional exclusives one after another, and the best thing the 360 could come up with to counter all this was ODST, basically an expansion to a previous game that has already come out for that console and that got incredibly mediocre reviews.

Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Nov 3 2009, 08:58 PM

I was thinking of buying Dragon Age for the ps3, but that type of rpg works better on a pc and I just bought Demon's souls. I'll have to find out if my laptop will be able to handle it on the lowest graphics setting.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 4 2009, 08:04 AM

i think you forget about Forza 3
but then it what you like. personally i have liked the 360 games better this year over the ps3

Posted by: Cades Nov 4 2009, 11:04 AM

Yeah right now I have a laptop that is decent for gaming but 2 years old, runs way better on the Ps3 compared to this.

But I will be building a beast of a gaming PC in the middle of January

Posted by: Tromni Nov 4 2009, 11:04 AM

Argh. Still waiting for my Dragon Age copy. The reviews sound great and I can't wait.

On the bright side, I have next Wednesday off for Veterans Day, but my wife doesn't. Which means I get the whole day to play!

Posted by: Cades Nov 4 2009, 11:08 AM

Xbox 360's top "ranked" game this year was Street Fighter 4, which PS3 was about the same.

PS3 has Uncharted 2 and LBP above that as the top 2 rated games on any platform this year, both exclusives to the PS3

Posted by: Cades Nov 4 2009, 11:09 AM

Yeah I put about 4 hours into it yesterday as a Human fury Warrior, gf made an elf primal mage I think, graphics are pretty sweet, story is cool so far, plenty of side quests, imo its way way better then Oblivion.

So many class options it isn't even funny for each class

Posted by: cardinal Nov 4 2009, 05:15 PM

If you think the 360 has outperformed the PS3 in games this year, you obviously haven't played Uncharted 2. It has almost already won game of the year, and is quite possibly the greatest game to be released in this generation.

And about Forza 3...PS3 has Gran Turismo 5 coming out soon which will tear that game to shreds.


Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT and 4 GB of RAM. Can run CoD4 in 1280x1024 with the highest settings...looks beautiful.

Fifa 10 is awsome. Haven't got to play forza 3 yet.

Posted by: Cades Nov 5 2009, 05:07 PM

Dragon Age is pretty sweet, its nice playing on a 46" TV but the PC version is probably better with more hot keys for skills, 6 on the PS3 isn't very good.

Too bad I am not building my PC till january ;(

About 11 hours in so far. So much stuff/skills/etc.

I am a Human Warrior - Fury - Noble I think, almost down the Berserker Path after this Dwarf finally teaches me the ways

Posted by: Zimbow Nov 5 2009, 07:43 PM

I played Uncharted 2 for PS3. I will have to admit that the graphics are unreal. The thing that turned me off of the game after about 30 minutes was the amount of cut scenes. Too many IMO. Let the player/gamer play the game without having the AI take over 60% of it.

Posted by: cardinal Nov 5 2009, 08:55 PM

The game has a great storyline. Any game that with a good storyline is going to have a fair amount of cutscenes.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 6 2009, 07:11 AM

Fifa 10 is freaking awesome. One of my favorite games on the 360.

Forza 3 is good.
The music isn't really need as you can never hear it over the car engine. But everything looks amazing.


But they did an awesome job esp. since they only really made the game in 3 months.
I don't think GT5 will blow it out of the water. I think they will be two good sims.

I downloaded the demo to that a few days ago. It's a lot of fun! Mindless zombie shooting with upgraded graphics. What more can you want?


I'm looking forward to Modern Warfare 2, just because I'm sick of playing CoD 4, and I'm awful at WaW. I've had my copy on reserve since May, so I've been waiting quite a while.


If anyone ever wants to play something on LIVE, my gamertag is Wh1te Veener. I mainly only play CoD (will play L4D2 when it's released).

Posted by: ffman Nov 7 2009, 12:40 AM

Matt, nice to see you again!

I'll try to add you to XBL tomorrow night. I play quite a bit of CoD 4. I've tried WaW but I get kicked out of a lot of matches since I don't have the DLC. I'm not as good at it either right now.

Posted by: Iplayfootball_90 Nov 7 2009, 08:29 AM

Awesome, Cody!

I need someone to play CoD 4 with for a few days. No one else I know plays it anymore.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Nov 7 2009, 08:32 AM

Get a Wii and play some WAW with me. Actually last night was the first time I played with a friend, of course he's on his second prestige so....

Posted by: Iplayfootball_90 Nov 7 2009, 08:37 AM

Haha My friend was that good on WaW, but he got his account reset because he was accused of cheating. He got pretty mad.

I'm on the second prestige of CoD 4, but it's already getting old.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Nov 7 2009, 08:39 AM

I'm debating if I should even go into Prestige because I've been doing all the Challenges, and I don't want to lose them all.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 7 2009, 04:39 PM

demo was really fun. esp. the 4 player co-op.

but it really isn't enough for me. to justify 60 bucks for it

Posted by: killerhawkeye21 Nov 7 2009, 04:56 PM

If anyone wants to add me, my gamertag is: Dan Maze

I rarely play anymore, but I think i'll be playing more when I get CoD MW2 since i'm pretty excited for it. I'm probably going to get L4D 2 as well since zombie slaying is sweet. I mainly play Halo 3 since i'm beastmode at it but I haven't played in a while. I also liked playing CoD 4 but since I changed my gamertag all of my weapons and what not reset so I was pretty depressed lol.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Nov 7 2009, 08:29 PM

Oh it certainly wouldn't be a purchase... that'd be a rent!

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 8 2009, 10:09 AM

So last week i got my 360 back from best buy.

But its still doing the same crap my 1st xbox was doing.

Scratching up my discs. I got Fifa 10 last week and now its all scratched up.

So got to go bestbuy later today and get it sent out for the second time in two

weeks.

So i am extremely ###### off. That bestbuy couldn't give me a console that worked. Heck atleast i am half way there to a new elite.
Only 2 more trips after today until they replace it with a brand new on.

Posted by: Kmart6nets Nov 8 2009, 10:26 AM

I've heard people with a TON of problems with the 360s... They seem to be incredibly unreliable.

Posted by: cardinal Nov 8 2009, 02:55 PM

They are. The 360 is such a poorly put together console that it's STILL having these fatal errors nearly 4 years after it's release.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 8 2009, 04:11 PM

but that same is happening with the ps3.

it seems more and more ps3's are breaking down.

guess what your screwed. If you didn't get a warranty from the store you

bought it from.

But i am really happy right now. When i took my 360 back to bestbuy. They decide to let me exchange it for a new elite.

Plus when i go pick up MW2 on tusday.
They said i could bring back Fifa 10 and Forza 3 and exchange them for new copys. Since the system scratched my the discs.

but now i am not sure what to do. keep the 60 gb hard drive. sell the 120.
buy the thing to transfer my stuff over to the 120 and sell the 60

Posted by: cardinal Nov 8 2009, 05:17 PM

Actually, no it's not. What you should've said is "It seems more and more 360's are breaking down", but everybody already knows that.

I own a 360 and am very disappointed in it and it's poor selection of games. I'm not gonna lie, PS3 is looking really good right now.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 8 2009, 06:33 PM

obviously you should off bought a ps3 in the first place.

i think the 360 has a great selection of games.

Posted by: ffman Nov 8 2009, 06:39 PM

The PS2 also had poor-quality hardware and did fine in the end altogether.

This generation between Xbox 360 and PS3 I don't see as huge a gap in exclusives as last generation. Sure, each has their own gems but - in my opinion nothing ground-breaking that makes either console a winner.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 8 2009, 06:46 PM

The 360/ps3 are pretty much the same.

Everyone preaches that the ps3 has so much better hardware than the 360. But besides blue-ray there isn't that big of a difference.

The ps3 has failed to show me why blueray is better for gaming. Besides UC2. '

But then look at Forza 3 that is one of the nicest looking games this gen. And thats on dvd 9.

Posted by: cardinal Nov 8 2009, 08:21 PM

What about LittleBigPlanet....and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue....and God of War III...and Metal Gear Solid 4...and the first Uncharted...and many many other PS3 games that have been released.

By the way, when God of War III is released, it'll blow away the 360 more than Uncharted 2 and MGS4 did. Mark my words, once again 360 will have nothing to counter a possible game of the year in God of War III but a lame attempt at yet another expansion of the Halo franchise with Halo: Reach.

Posted by: Iplayfootball_90 Nov 8 2009, 09:16 PM

PLEASE don't tell me we're getting into one of those 360 vs. PS3 debates. Both have they're good selection of games. Let it go.

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 8 2009, 09:20 PM

Hi,
I don't listen to opinions of people who are obviously Sony Fanboys.
Have a nice day.
all you say is.
ps3 is greatest system of all time. All 360 games suck.
360 is a horrible system.
Every ps3 game blows the 360 game out of the water.
Enough Said go be a cow on some other site.


if you didn't know cow = sony fanboy

Posted by: metsfan2427 Nov 8 2009, 09:21 PM

no its just called a ps3 fanboy is being a ps3 fanboy.

Your argument that I "am obviously a Sony Fanboy" is very flawed. First, never once did I state that:

"ps3 is greatest system of all time"
"All 360 games suck"
"360 is a horrible system"
"Every ps3 game blows the 360 game out of the water"

When your not busy, please find the 4 times I said that, I'll be patiently waiting. I don't even own a PS3, making it nearly impossible for me to be a fanboy. If anything, your the 360 fanboy, considering how little credit you give the PS3 and it's selection of games. Given your response, I guess you don't have much to say about my counter-argument and the predictions I made.

P.S. - It is very very hard to write a response to anything you with your downright awful grammar. Only about 1/5 of the sentences you type are grammatically correct.

P.S.S. - I believe it's a "troll" not a "cow," although I'm confused as to how I am being a troll.

on a lighter note, MW2 releases for both PS3 and 360 on the 10th. Oh, I like the fact that Metal Gear Solid will release on 360. Always loved playing the games on PS2. I'm not gonna sit here and argue on which system has the better graphics, game selection or which one works the worst and has the most flaws within the systems. Everyone has their preference as to which they like and dislike. Personally I could care less about people who enjoy Sony and who enjoy 360. Gaming systems are built around the gamer's experience and how much fun they have playing them.

So... I think I'm hooked... I got Twilight Princess back when it first came out and only put about 17-18 hours into it. At that time I moved and had other priorities and things got moved around and I really didn't play many one-player games for a while... I had nothing at all to do yesterday so I fired it up and started the game over again... I played for 5 hours straight and it's going to be a LONG day at work thinking about coming home and playing it again

Can't wait for MW2.
And cardinal. i think the ps3 has a decent selection of games. I never said once that the ps3 didn;t have good games.
