Games thread!
 

Figured we needed a thread about video games since there are so many great titles on the horizon. To start:

Dead Space: i'll be picking this up tomorrow. Space survival horror? A_W_E_SO_M_E!

Next week:
LittleBigPlanet - game looks awesome. Platformer with crazy physics, a 3d place, and the ability to create some crazy levels of your own.

Fable II: This game will own. You have a fog and a musket. Nuff said!

So what are you looking forward too?

Re: Games thread!
 

Spiderman: Web of shadow looks ****ING SICK! waiting for that!

Re: Games thread!
 

can't wait for LBP...... will be there for midnight release (if they do one)

Re: Games thread!
 

Left 4 Dead is on my must-buy list as a zombie genre freak.

Re: Games thread!
 

I thought for sure you'd say Street Fighter 4 Gerry :confused:

Re: Games thread!
 

Re: Games thread!
 

I cannot wait.

Re: Games thread!
 

also looking forward to new CoD...although the current one is still awesome

Re: Games thread!
 

Yea, i'm a bit of a CoD junkie. I was a little down they went back to the WW2 theme though. CoD4 was just so perfect.

Re: Games thread!
 

I agree... ww2 has been done again...and again...and again...and again..... bueller..... bueller

Re: Games thread!
 

Yep. have you tried the new Brothers in Arms game? It's another WW2 shooter, but your guy sucks at shooting. More tactical squad based stuff. Pin and flank, no super soldiers in that game lol.

Re: Games thread!
 

thats a given...

Re: Games thread!
 

The newer street fighters don't have quiet the same feel..:( I'm still hammering away at my Tekken5 Skills...

Re: Games thread!
 

Fallout 3 is on my horizon. Even if it's only 1/2 as good as 1 and 2 I'll be happy. Many days of my life lost playing those games.

The next COD for FPS...

Re: Games thread!
 

Agreed, Fallout 3 is on my radar as well. Bethesda is making it, i'm sure it will be good.

Re: Games thread!
 

Agreeded - they have high standards there - no release and let the buying public do the beta testing. Not that all games don't need some tweaking, but a polished version ought to hit the shelves.

Re: Games thread!
 

Their games are always top notch. i'm not worried. Oblivion kept me occupied for a loooooong time :tu

Also, coming next year, Empire: Total War. I'm a big fan of the total war series, been playing it since Shogun. Having watched a few trailers I hafta say this game looks fantastic. Mix of turn based empire building with RTS battles and for the first time ship combat!

Re: Games thread!
 

I used to do RTS back in the Orc Craft and C&C days... But the click rush of grab the resources got old and a good player with Tanya could rule the game. If you like the turn based then try the Combat Mission games:

Replay isn't good but sometimes even knowing the scripted actions still isn't enough. I have yelled at the screen many a time when morale got low the my yelow cowards ran from the fight.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'll have to give it a go when i'm finished with Dead Space, thanks for the link :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

Are these PC games?

Re: Games thread!
 

No. Fable 2 is an Xbox360 title, LittleBigPlanet is a PS3 title, and Dead Space is available for both X360 and PS3.

Re: Games thread!
 

Guitar Hero: World Tour is one I will be picking up.

Re: Games thread!
 

Definitely looking forward to Fallout 3!

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm pumped for CoD:WaW, I'm excited for the pacific theater battles

Re: Games thread!
 

Not only that, but the same Multiplayer engine as CoD 4 , plus vehicles!

Re: Games thread!
 

Don't forget the dogs!

Re: Games thread!
 

A buddy that I used to play with a lot said about CoD 4, this would be even better if you could set out the dogs from the game. When I told him about this, he ran out and pre-ordered it

Re: Games thread!
 

I doubt it will be better than CoD4. The dogs are cool, but WW2 is overdone.

Re: Games thread!
 

COD4 is like video crack. I love it!!

Exactly my thoughts.

Well, that could be cool. I'll wait to read reviews before I buy. Can you imagine COD4 with modern vehicles? That would be insane!!

Re: Games thread!
 

Warhammer Online











That is all.

Arracald - lvl 27 Chosen - Mordheim
Leiracild - lvl 15 Witch Elf - Mordheim
Darracald - lvl 2 Disciple of Khaine - Mordheim

Re: Games thread!
 

Did you get Dead Space? Wondering what you think.

Re: Games thread!
 

Yep, haven't gotten that far but I really like it. It's very unusual, think survival horror but with a real b-movie feel to it. The combat is pretty good (it's awesome how you have to delimb the space zombies) level design is fantastic (hard to describe, gothic space station?), enemy design is excellent and different, AI is decent, weapons are pretty unique, voice acting is pretty good, music is good, and I like the upgradable weapons/suit options. It is a very dark game, lot's of disturbing moments that genuinely scared me. I haven't finished it yet but i'm really digging it so far, def worth a look Sean.

Re: Games thread!
 

Let me know when your ready - I can hook you up....

Re: Games thread!
 

Effn dawgs :fl

Re: Games thread!
 

what are these video games?

Re: Games thread!
 

Thanks for the review (so far), bro! I'm probably going to pull the trigger.

Re: Games thread!
 

Anyone got some old games they want to part with? Game swap/cigars/cash/girlfriends... I'm so bored I just bought Sid Meir's Pirates for $10, having a blast with it. He is one of the world's game masters. Love his stuff.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm all about anything zombie related.

I'm waiting for Resident Evil 5!

Re: Games thread!
 

Do you own any consoles or are you a PC gamer? Sid Meir's Pirates is awesome.

Re: Games thread!
 

Pirates is a sweet game, makes me want to drink rum and bang... nevermind

I love his stuff, I'm a big Civ fan

Re: Games thread!
 

Yep. There are a ton of good mods for Pirates! as well.

Re: Games thread!
 

I am not privy to these mods of which you speak... do tell

Re: Games thread!
 

Strictly PC - no run for a console, and no time. Pc is about all I can mamage. I just elevated my self to levels in diificulty last night - I'm not quite the swordsman I thought I was.... Damn Pirates get rough.

Re: Games thread!
 

I love Civ 4 but play it poorly - I don't micro manage as well as I should.

Re: Games thread!
 

Pirates, eh? only pirates game I know of is the free one from disney's website.

Re: Games thread!
 

This is stand alone - based on his first Pirates game.... Played on my C64 :) Both fairly similiar - Pick up the stand alone for $10 - good purchase.

I tried the online Disney one - decent, still had a beta feel and $$$ per month. Too many free online ones to pay to play.

Re: Games thread!
 

I generally don't play PC games anymore, mostly because I have an iMac and this mouse and keyboard aren't too great for FPS. I have bootcamp w/ windows XP running so I guess I could get back into CS:S and some games, but have been console mostly for awhile

Re: Games thread!
 

There are a number of outfit mods here (i'm partial to the black outfit sans eyepatch)

And there are just a ton of mods here. I'm using a bunch of the flag models (because I need a Sobe flag lol), Djs shipmod, and a bunch of barmaid governors daughters mods.

Re: Games thread!
 

I play Battlefield 2142 and COD4 on PC competitively...LOL I'm a NERD:D!!!

Re: Games thread!
 

I just finished Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway and am waiting for Fable and Fallout(both on order) Gears of War2 will have to go on my Christmas list as the game budget is maxxed!
