Run, gun, duck, roll, run, gun, duck, roll and that's pretty much Gears.

Re: Games thread!
 

Sounds twitchy to me:D

Re: Games thread!
 

Finished Dead Space last night...cool game. I didn't know that there was all these cool unlockables when you play through again. Makes it a lot easier since I had a hard time with ammo and meds. I might just play a while until I find the military armour then start over from scratch. I like more of a challenge. Final boss was a wimp-that's how I like my games.

Re: Games thread!
 

twitchy games are the worst after a herf...the movement puts me over the top. :pu

Re: Games thread!
 

We are going shopping in the city today....might stop at Gamestop....hmmmm

Re: Games thread!
 

Get Left 4 Dead!

Re: Games thread!
 

Yea, there is enough content to warrant a second play through. I think EA just released some downloadable content as well, though i'm not exactly sure what it is yet.

Re: Games thread!
 

Picked up CoD2 & 3 and World at War...should be enough shooting to last until Christmas.

Re: Games thread!
 

My 7800GTX is dead now :( Can't game at all. Hoping Santa brings me an HD4870 1GB :D

Re: Games thread!
 

Sucks man, hope Santa is good to you.

I got the new PoP. I actually don't like it as much as I thought I would. It gets old quick.

Re: Games thread!
 

Yea, it's too easy. A platformer needs a frustration element.

Re: Games thread!
 

It's too easy, the dialogue is super cheesey, and after awhile it feels like it's playing itself. The A button practically does everything outside of fighting, which also is kinda lame after awhile. It would be nice if you got some other kind of weapon. And forcing me to collect seeds is bs :fl

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm still usin my old school xbox...I gotta get the new 360 already! some killer lookin games out now!

Fallout 3 players might find this funny ;)

Re: Games thread!
 

I hope Santa brings me Soul Calibur IV. :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

Ok, RG for who ever created that.... Pretty funny!

Re: Games thread!
 

I asked Santa for a pair of Tritton gaming headset. I'm still using the crappy generic X360 mic and I have a craptastic set I use on my pc that needs upgrading bad.

Re: Games thread!
 

Gears of War II is on my Christmas list.

Re: Games thread!
 

Well, I got myself an early Christmas gift. I saw Castlevania Chronicles hit the PS store, and it was only 5.99! I'm a huge CV fan and this is one I haven't played in years! I had it emulated, but playing with the keyboard isn't the same.

"Smitty does the happy dance":dance: :)

Re: Games thread!
 

Have bestbuy giftcard from christmas burning a hole on my pocket. Want to pick up a game but not sure if I should get:

Fallout 3
Resistance 2
Left 4 Dead

all got about the same rating, I know left 4 dead is somewhat short, but has good replay-ability and who doesn't like killing zombies. I liked Resistance 1 for online play but thought the single player lacked. And I know nothing about the Fallout series.

Re: Games thread!
 

Left 4 Dead!

Re: Games thread!
 

Gotta get it; best game this year beside MGS4 and Warhammer Online :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

Finally got the Flame Thrower for COD-WaW Took me a while since I haven't played as much as I liked but it's fun! I love hearing the other guys go..."Oh damn he burnt me!" :r

Re: Games thread!
 

I watched the video review for fallout 3 and just don't know if it is for me. I like that it seems like it would last longer then left 4 dead but I dunno.

Re: Games thread!
 

Fallout 3 was a great game!

Playing Gears of War 2 right now...seems kinda lame compared with the first one...much easier.

Re: Games thread!
 

Yep, I haven't prestiged yet cause it's just too much fun running around hosing guys.

Get Fallout 3 James. Left for Dead is no fun by yourself (awesome with three other guys), Resistance 2 was good, but Fallout was an experience. It drove me nuts with the bugginesss but it's a game with a ton to offer. Of course I could just tell you what i've told everyone else this year, skip all three and get Dead Space, still my fav game of the year ;)

I didn't get as much this year game wise. Got a copy of IL2-Sturmovik for the PC and a copy of Mushroom Men on the wii. Haven't tried IL2 yet but MM is actually pretty good!

Re: Games thread!
 

went with Fallout 3. Will prolly pick up mario kart wii too, but then gotta get 2 damn wii wheels

Re: Games thread!
 

Just in case you don't know, you can use the nunchuck instead of the wheel ( I don't use the wheel at all), Mario Kart Wii is great!!

I also agree with virtualsmitty, Deadspace was great!!!

Re: Games thread!
 

I know you can, but played it at best buy and liked the wheel. Eh, maybe I'll just make the GF use the wiimote and I'll take the wheel :)

Re: Games thread!
 

Dead Space was a great game-played through twice for all the goodies...realized that I would have to play through 5 times to get the upgrade achievment.

Re: Games thread!
 

I thought about picking it up as well, or fallout and left 4 dead.... but I still have little big planet to play as well as madden so I am set for a bit

Re: Games thread!
 

Haven't gotten to play fallout yet... will prolly fire it up in about the next hour or so and play for the most of the afternoon. Maybe squeeze in a game of madden or some little big planet for a break :)

Re: Games thread!
 

I've been loving LBP, Jim! At first I thought it was a kiddie game, but I've gotten addicted to it. I seem to alternate between it, RockBand 2, and GH World Tour. I see that CoD: WaW is on sale for $35 on Amazon today (including the PS3 version)... I'm afraid I won't be able to resist. I played the Zombie level at a friend's last week. Made it to level 20. That was the funnest hour and a half I've spent playing games in a long time!

Re: Games thread!
 

Very True!!! There is something about starting over that is so much fun.

Re: Games thread!
 

first impressions of fallout 3 are pretty good. Not very far into the game yet, but one thing I've noticed is you can get yourself in alot of trouble wandering around when you don't have very good guns. Haven't decided if I want to be a good or bad person yet, have only stole a few things so far :)

Re: Games thread!
 

Found a good indie game while up in Syracuse this past weekend. Needed something to pass the time at night and my laptop has a suck ass video card. It's called Spelunky, it's a mad fun 8 bit platformer:

It's really very addicting!

Re: Games thread!
 

:mad:

Well last night I found out that my 360's dvd drive is BROKE!!! DAMN IT! It won't read any games and the UI on NXE just says "open tray". After doing some research on the net to find out a cause it looks like the dvd drive has failed. So now I need to wait to get a return box, and then wait even longer for them to send me back a replacement 360 or drive (not sure which they'll do) So I've now experienced the RROR and dvd failure issues that xbox 360's are known for!

But I love my 360!!!:ss

I won't be gaming for a while. :mad:

Re: Games thread!
 

I had to put Fallout 3 down for a while becuase I was playing it too much. I swithc to an xbox360 titles called Culdcept Saga..it is a CCG meets a board game...most of the battles take at least 1.5 hours..so much for less time playing games

Re: Games thread!
 

Picked up the new Prince of Persia today-anyone play it yet?

Re: Games thread!
 

Not I... let us know how it is!

Re: Games thread!
 

Yep. Kind of a love/hate game for me, sold it a little while ago.

Re: Games thread!
 

I need a little help from anyone who owns an xbox 360 and uses live through a network (either wireless or wired). If you can PM me I would appreciate it.

Basically what I am trying to do is this:

I have two PC's, one desktop and one laptop. The laptop is on my wireless network and was connected to my xbox 360. However, because I kept downloading stuff onto my laptop HDD it was taking up a lot of space and so I'd like to actually connect my desktop (which has it's own HDD as well as an External attached to it) so I can use that to stream my music, movies, pics, etc. to my xbox.

The problem: My xbox only picks up my laptop through the wireless network and not my desktop. I have a cable modem connected to a linksys wireless router. The router is wired to the desktop through the port and the laptop just picks it up wirelessly. I am no good with computer networking and am looking for some help or advice on how to set this up.

My desktop is in a completely different room than my xbox which is in the living room with my big tv and surround so I can't just connect the desktop to the xbox through a wired connection (it would require too much wire and be a mess, plus I live in a condo and that's no an option to have a wire exposed).

I hope that made sense. If it didn't please let me know. Thanks for any help anyone has.

:tu

Re: Games thread!
 

I have my Xbox live connected to my router wirelessly. I'm not in front of it right now, i'm not sure how they changed it with the NXE switch, but there used to be a connections section in the networking area. Just select your router when it pops up on available networks, input your password if you have one, and go.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm about an hour or so into it. It's a nice change of pace from what I usually play. The most annoying part for me is having to go collect the light seeds after you heal a land. I don't really like the back-tracking. Other than that... it seems pretty good.
