Goddamn City of Heroes! Has been downloading all day, and still has 2 hours to go. Guess I gotta wait til tomorrow.
Apprently there’s over a million or so combinations when creating a character, and certain items in game (when found) will unlock even more accessories.
Everyone on T-Nation needs to get this, I mean, YOU CREATE YOUR OWN FUCKING SUPERHERO AND THEN KILL ENEMIES WITH YOUR EYE LASERS!
I’m still playing Counter Strike Source online. Also I started playing STALKER but Windows Vista seems to hate it and it crashes after I’ve got further in.
Can anyone recommend a good MMO that isn’t too geeky? I used to play Planetside but that doesn’t work with Vista either 
Gears of War , of course. Oblivion is great too, and it has some add on modules as well. Godfather. Thats all 360, though, but HALO 3 is on its way.
Good PC games are Command and Conquer 3, Scarface, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, and look out for the upcoming Fallout 3–anybody who has played the previous 2 Falouts will be very excited.
[quote]I don’t know if I’d buy a PSP solely for Madden. It’s not back for a handheld, but if you don’t already have the system, not sure it’s worth spending over $200 of your money…unless you only plan on playing portable, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Most sport games on portable systems aren’t that great, although there are some decent ones for the PSP. Madden’s good and NCAA isn’t bad as long as you get the “fixed” version of the game (the original had a terrible glitch that made it unplayable) and the MLB games aren’t bad, either.[/quote]
I have a PS2, but it’s been collecting dust for the past year or two. So it make sense for me to buy the PSP. Do you know if the Madden game runs smoothly just like the PS2 version? no delays and stuff like that?
I did try out MLB on PSP at Best Buy the other day and it was pretty cool. Now if I was a baseball fan I’d definitely buy it. Maybe I still will. I need anything to kill the time till the new Madden comes out. Thanks for the 411.
Spiderman 3 is boasting one of the largest free roaming city environments ever put into a video game.

I hear ya…if you’re going to be playing mostly portable and won’t be upgrading to a PS3, then a PSP makes sense if you’re into sports games.
Madden runs great on PSP. No slowdown from what I’ve seen. I don’t own a PSP, but was considering it last year and borrowed a friend’s for a couple of weeks and I probably played 10-15 games of Madden and never had a gameplay problem.
The MLB games on PSP are also quite good.
I just wish Nintendo would come out with some quality sports titles for their handheld systems. I love my DS, but aside from Mario Kart, there’s no other sport game out for the system that’s any good.
The Madden games look and play like PS1 games and the recently released MLB 2K7 is unplayable b/c of all the bugs.
EA needs to step their game up and come out with a good version of Madden, a good version of Tiger (would translate SUPER to a handheld) and a good baseball or basketball sim.

I saw that and am curious to see how it exactly plays out. The first two games had good graphics and controls, but was too linear. If this is indeed free roaming, then it could be a lot of fun.
Ultimate Spiderman was a cool game (loved the cell-shaded graphics) that had some free roaming elements to it, but was bogged down by too many mini races that deterred from the story and general gameplay.
Im getting Spiderman 3 the game tomorrow for the ps3, ill let you all know how it is.
Oblivion. Still.
I alwasy come back to splinter cell and Dawn of War as well. I’ll have 4months off and then play them everyday for a couple of weeks.
Unreal Tournament has been one of my favorites for a long time. I can’t wait until the next one comes out this summer.
I do play WoW because a buddy of mine freakin gave me the game for free, and I had nothing else to play that week. Now, I’m pretty much stuck on it. UT3 should help fix that though.
If you’re looking for an amazing game, check out Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time. I know it’s pretty old, but the gameplay is a blast (flipping off of walls to cut monsters in half and freezing time is so much fun) and the story’s good. The sequel wasn’t as cool, but the newest game was fantastic.
Lemme think; you spearhead a Spartan invasion until you are betrayed by Athena, who takes away some of your godlike powers and uses them to animate the Colossus of Rhodes, who pursues you from rooftop to rooftop while you shred through enemy soldiers like so much wheat.
At various points you break his arms with a water wheel, launch yourself at him with a ballistae and stab his eyes out, and finally stab him in his mechanical heart with a magical sword given to you by Zeus.
(Did I mention that this is the first fucking level?)
Right now, I’m screwing around with my GBA SP, playing some Castlevania. I’m waiting on MS to get their shit together with Vista so I can upgrade my rig, get a DX10 card and play me some Crysis when it comes out. A lil’ Halo here and there, et cetera.

Rainbox Six Vegas has to be the best first person shooter for the XBOX 360.
I have Spider-Man 3 for my PC. It doesn’t run to well. I have a 7800GT, 3500+ AMD64 (Overclocket) and 1GB Ram. TinyXP. I can run it on medium-high with 2xAA @ 800x600 and Shadows Off. It’s still damn fun

Yeah, but it will most likely suck. They spend all their money on the license and make a shitty game…
…usually.

R6:Vegas is damn good, the fact that you can map your own face on Live is sweet. I just don’t understand why you must be on Live to do it and it only saves 1 face. But it does do an awesome job, so much its kinda freaky.

That may make me have to get that one…I loved swinging around the city and seeing how fast I could do it in the last one. Getting all those new acrobatic moves was cool to pull of a bunch of combos.

Really I thought all the Spidey’s have been pretty tight. Its Superman/Batman that always sucked, although the last Superman was a better improvement than the rest but still had issues.
I need about 600 Microsoft Pts so I can download those new characters on Marvel Alliance!! I wonder if you can use them throughout the game or just those little side comic missions.
My buddy’s got a PS3 and that system has no freakin’ games, I’m so glad I got my 360. I was over there last nite and he showed me the Ninja Gaiden coming out, and its the same game as the Xbox had 2 years ago just cleaner. Is that all they are going to do is just clean up old games that didn’t make it from Xbox to Ps2?!!
The fact I can change my background in the Dashboard with any digital photo is enough to make me not want one anyway the customization is sweet, so far I’m not very impressed with that system at all.
Makes me wonder if Playstation is going to take a shit like Sega did. I know Sony will be around forever but with the PS3 games they have and are coming out, it looks like their videogame days are dying. Or are about to die, whats it been 6 months since it came out and they got like 10 games and the next ones coming are almost all old ports from PS2 and Xbox but just in HD now…
yeah thats fun replaying an old game with nothing different about it but just cleaner graphics and nothing else new coming out?!! I’d be pissed, my friend is pissed thats for sure, when he saw Ninja Gaiden was the old Xbox game he said if it wasn’t for the cost of those new wireless controllers he would have smashed the crap outta it.
Anyone have a Wii?
I keep going back and forth on whether I should get one or not. On the one hand the controller is innovative and looks like a lot of fun, but then another part of me thinks it would feel gimmicky after a couple of weeks and I’d be bored with the system.
The other pros are the old-school games you can download (once they get rolling on this, the library in place will destroy what 360 has), and the ability to play Gamecube games on the system.
Graphically, the system is behind the two, but I can sacrifice graphics for the sake of gameplay; as long as the gameplay doesn’t wear off in 2 weeks.

No, it’s actually pretty funny.
There is a very good variety in the missions, and swinging around in the town is really well-made. The town is huge too, with occasionally crimes and such. The only bad thing is that sometimes it’s a little to hard (i suck) and to poorly optimized for the PC.

I got the Wii as a gift, and I’ve had it for about two months now and I am very unimpressed with it. At first the controller and the game Wii sports make you think of all the possibilites the system has. Its fun to play with another person and thats about it. Your not gonna play Wii Sports by yourself for too long.
A friend of mine has Farcry for the Wii and the Graphics look like early PS2 graphics not something thats supposed to be “next gen” it just looks really horrible. The controlls are terrible and very glitchy. I have the DBZ game(yeah Im a closet DBZ/anime fan) and its cool to play. The Wii controllers actually make you throw a fire ball which really makes you feel like your in the game.
My other gripe with the Wii is that it does not have a ethernet port and does not currently support much online play. Also, sometimes I want to just sit and play a game without swinging my arms around like a Jackass.
Nintendo has been gearing themselves toward family friendly entertainment for years. So If you have kids or a litte brother or sister that you want to get into “safe” games then go ahead and purchase it, If you want to kill some Covenant scum, Murder Gorgans in anchient Greece and Car Jack some fools while listening to NWA. Then stick to the 360 and the PS3.
Overall I give the Wii a C- because of its very lackluster graphics, poor online gaming support, and PG games. I’ll wait and see if they oo Resident Evil 4 justice and then maybe that will boost their grade.
One of the things that will save the ps3 is MGS4.
