any other videogame nerds on here?

[MDS]

Totally diggin the new releases this year so far. Curious what you all consider the top games out there? I'm on a PS3.
I work part time jobs for a store in town during midnight openings. I'm usually there an hour and they prefer to pay me with a game rather than cash, so it's a sweet deal. I just like a bit of research before I pull potentially bad stuff off the shelf.

[Ceridwen]

I have a Wii and a nintendo DS.

[WadsonF]

Xbox 360 and Computer. I don't mess with anything else.

[TXDSX]

Oh yeah I am a gaming nut since I got this PS3. I am playing Fallout 3 right now. It is an amazing game IMO. I know several officers have said that Resistance 2 is really good but I have yet to play it.

[AgentMan]

I am a big on video games, though I mostly play PC games not console.

[TXGrunt]

I am a PC Gamer.. mostly FPS.. and a Current League Level admin. have also attended a few LANs.

[AgentMan]

Which League grunt? I've heard of quite a few leagues, and even helped out in a few. I'm all for FPS, but my brother has my headset currently, So I can't FPS. I'm just playin WoW till I get them back lol.

[BlackSun23]

I only play on the computer. I’m STILL hooked on COD4! That game is so bad arse. I can’t wait till the 11th this month; COD World at War comes out. Kind of sucks because its back to WWII but the multiplayer where you can play 4 player co-op threw the level should be pretty cool.

[Rasmblack]

I got a 360, PC, Wii, PS3, and Nintendo cube. Im in middle of playing Fable 2 on 360 and I cant wait for the next COD to come out. I however love the fact it going back to WW2. COD4 was a great game but I just like the history story lines of WW2.
For the PC (when im not playing the 360) I play alot of World of Warcraft and cant wait for that expansion as well.

[hermal]

I have PC and Wii currently. I am into FPS for PC (COD4, BF2142) but am also into RPG for PC. I am awaiting COD WaW, from the Beta it is pretty awesome....one word tanks!!!!!:D

[Narco]

no more red dot/ acog scopes on cod waw though! i love cod 4...still play it every day. havent touched halo 3 in awhile.

[MDS]

Oh yeah I am a gaming nut since I got this PS3. I am playing Fallout 3 right now. It is an amazing game IMO. I know several officers have said that Resistance 2 is really good but I have yet to play it.

I'm loving Fallout 3 so far. Trying to get into the National Treasury, but all roads are blocked to it so far. The game is great. The combat system is quite...unique.

[Presence]

man, one of these days I'll upgrade to a PS3... :(

for now the pS2 will suffice...got a bunch of games there, many I haven't beaten yet. I only play every once and a while, so it takes me a bit of time to get through the games...

I'm working on Shadow of the Colossus now (slowwwwly)... but my ultimate favorite game for the PS2 is definitely God of War. That game kicks some major butt. Gruesome, exciting, epic, it's got everything - fighting, adventure, puzzles to solve... GOW 2 was pretty fun too, but I don't think anything can top the original one.

I also love the Ratchet and Clank series, finishing up "Up Your Arsenal" currently...Such a fun game. :)

GUN is pretty fun, unfortunately if I spend a lot of time between plays of that game, i can't remember what all the controls are for the guns... Get a little too rusty and you just can't beat that game. I can't anyway.

Haven't spent a lot of time with the COD series, though I have the second one, I think... lol...

Bought Max Payne, but I've barely started it b/c I haven't had much time.

Next up is BLACK.


I guess I'm a little bit of a nerd. I'm okay with it.

[gixxerjoe04]

call of duty 4 is my favorite for ps3, the new one comes out next week but i dont know if it'll be as good as 4. i have 24 days of online play, way too much but then there's people with over 70 days. i was looking at some peoples time online play for that and for them to get that much they would of had to play the game for 6 hours a day everyday since the game came out, and this was months after it was released

FINALLY MDS! Something we can agree on!!!

For the PS3, I'd advise Resistance 2, Far Cry 2 (open world shooter set in Africa, not as good as Fallout, but still great), LittleBig Planet (it seems like a little kids game, but I've played it, and its actually a lot of fun and theres so much to do).



Anybody else pumped for Gears of War 2?

[-Erik-]

For some reason this generation of gamng has somewhat ruined gaming for me. I had a PS2 and enjoyed a number of franchises like GT, GTA and SOCOM. Three years (?) into this generation of gaming and of those franchises from last gen has made its way to current gen, the only one to make a new installment is GTA and that game was just average IMO.

I dont game online so games like COD4 dont intrest me very much because all the fun is online. Seems like devs forgot about the single player aspect of gaming for this generation. Its all about an online mode now.

[UrNameHere263]

There is a new SOCOM coming out soon

[Southflaguy]

I was thinking of getting a PS3, but the games are expensive and so is the other remote, so I may get the Wii sometime next year...

Now good PS3 games depends on what you like shooters, fighting, sports, others...

I'm not sure about Madden, I got it for the PSP and it sucked...

These are games I would get if I had a PS3...

[Lawless One]

I personally own a PS3, a DS, and a computer. My household, however, has an Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Nintendo Wii, and 6 computers. While I'm the "jock" of my group of friends, I am still at my very core an uber nerd.

On PS3 thus far I've really enjoyed Silent Hill 3, Spiderman Web of Shadows, Heavenly Sword, Devil May Cry, and I'm seriously looking forward to DC Universe Online and White Knight Chronicles.

[UrNameHere263]

don't buy a wii unless you want to bake bread or fry bacon. i reccomend the 360, it's cheaper then the ps3 and has slightly better games(most of the best ones are for both though. i wish i could play against pc and ps3 people on cod4

[AgentMan]

I only play on the computer. I’m STILL hooked on COD4! That game is so bad arse. I can’t wait till the 11th this month; COD World at War comes out. Kind of sucks because its back to WWII but the multiplayer where you can play 4 player co-op threw the level should be pretty cool.

The people who made the WWII COD games and the people who made COD 4 are two different people. Though it is put out by the same company, I believe the game makers are different companies.

[JTShooter]

Sap did a better job at explaining it....

[sap123]

The people who made the WWII COD games and the people who made COD 4 are two different people. Though it is put out by the same company, I believe the game makers are different companies.

SUPER NERD TO THE RESCUE!! Here's how this works:

Infinity Ward (the original developer for Call of Duty) made the first and second CoD. After the second one was made, Activision had acquired another company now called Treyarch, and had them develop CoD3. The plan was to have Infinity Ward and Treyarch switch off duties for developing the Call of Duty series. This is why Infinity Ward was responsible for CoD4, while the new CoD: World at War was done by Treyarch. Both companies are owned by Activision, so to cut down down-time between games (e.g. being able to release a game every year), Activision would still see the money coming in. CoD 6 will be done by Infinity Ward, and there was talk that they re-negotiated their contract to do all of the CoD games because of CoD4's huge success.

I'm a PS3 owner but play COD4 online a decent amount on my brother's 360.

[Fuzz1028]

anyone playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2? I just got it and it is super addicting.

[Truth317]

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is pretty good. I like to play that a lot for the Xbox 360.

[cbrew0215]

Im stuck with my ps2 and computer. I mostly play supreme commander on PC. However, another officer here i hang out with has a 360. The most addicting game ever...Ninja Gaiden 2. I seriously think I have an addiction problem to that game.

[Flanker]

Love it. Terrorist hunt on highest difficulty=best.

[ChevyPower]

Far Cry 2 (open world shooter set in Africa, not as good as Fallout, but still great)


Bite your tongue! I have it for PC and it’s awesome. Well, save for the annoying habit of people always returning to places you decimate, and the ungodly number of vehicles. The story line is addicting, much like Oblivion.

I have seen friends playing Fallout 3, and it does look fun, I just don’t like the targeting system much. Looks like it would get old after a while.

I had a friend pick up Gears of War 2 today, and it looked sweet…but he couldn’t play it anyway because his xbox 360 crapped out. It was funny as heck!

[hermal]

[Patrick C.]

Wow....no Halo fans on here??

[Taylor13]

Guys I need shooting game suggestions for PS2!

[RCKoutWurGLKout]

To Presence and Taylor:

Black is an awesome game. I think it was highly advertised and a lot of people seemed to lose interest once it was released, very flash in the pan. I guess Halo and Halo 2 trumped it *shrug*. Halo is good, and the first one was very epic, but I HATE FPS on consoles. My wife and I are nerds. We've got NES, Gameboy, GBA, DS, PSP, PSX, PS2, 360, Gamecube, and a computer. Eventually, I'd like to get the Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, PS3, Wii, and another beasty machine. I typically play my FPS and RPGs on the computer, and my action games on the consoles.

For anyone that likes series like God of War and that ilk, check out Devil May Cry. That is a pretty good series on the PS2 (except for DMC4).

Right now I was playing Hellgate London, which was good (about to die). I have played WoW, and Guild Wars. I'm currently playing the HL2 saga, and I am going to get the Left 4 Dead game once I get paid at the end of the month... :D

[BlackSun23]

RCKoutWurGLKout (funny name), I sure hope you have a big insurance policy on all those systems. Or lock them in a safe when you’re not using them. Dang! Your house must run up an electric bill like no other! I agree though, I can't stand playing FPS on consoles, I can't ever hit anyone cause it’s too weird. I have to have w,a,s,d and my mouse to own. Check out this keyboard, I got it about 3 months ago and absolutely love it. Perfect for FPS gaming Keyboard (http://www.ideazon.com/us/products/mercstealth.asp).

BLACK is an awesome game, you can blow lots of things up in that game and it gets pretty hard.

I really liked all of the Prince of Persia games for PS2, took me forever to beat them because there were so many puzzles to unlock.

And FIFA is pretty too...

[AgentMan]

Blacksun I prefer Logitech G15 Keyboard. (http://blog.damienalexandre.fr/public/fevrier_2006/1.jpg)

[BlackSun23]

Dman, that thing is pretty bad ***. What does that LCD tell you?

[TXDSX]

I'm loving Fallout 3 so far. Trying to get into the National Treasury, but all roads are blocked to it so far. The game is great. The combat system is quite...unique.


Yeah I have been playing every chance I get since I got it. I just finished the main quest but I am going to go back and do all teh side ones.

[TXDSX]

Dman, that thing is pretty bad ***. What does that LCD tell you?

The LCD can tell you allot of different things temp of your CPU, case, GPU, the time, and if you play games that it is compatible with it will tell you stats on that particular game. It also tells you information on voice comm programs like Ventrilo and Teamspeak. It one of the best keyboards I have ever owned but I would try to find the first version with the blue LED its better IMO.

[RCKoutWurGLKout]

Yeah, Blacksun, we have most of those systems stashed in the cupboard underneath the tv. We don't play them that often really. My wife and I just had our own systems before we got married, so when we did get married, we ended up with all those combined. :D.

I have the G15...a buddy of mine gave it to me for free when he moved out lol :D. He had two...he had a lot of disposable income, the lucky single bloke!

[Protect-N-Serve]

Pretty sure the new COD is set in Vietnam based on the comercials.

Yes yes and yes 100 times over! I thought I was the only one who was utterly unimpressed with GTA IV. I thought it was a total rehash of San Andreas...just prettier and with minigames. I suppose my main problem is it does so much that it really doesn't do anything awesome. What I mean is, if you've played Burnout Paradise City, there is no comparison with the driving physics. BPC blows it utterly out of the water. If you play Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (I personally prefer the pvp on it than to COD4), the shooting is head shoulders knees and toes above GTA IV. I just....wasn't at all impressed with the new GTA and ditched it after three weeks of dabbling.

Flanker: I've seen those games and they are likely good, but the premise doesn't quite do it for me. The post nuclear/alien invasion just is out of my taste range. But then again so was Cooking Mama for DS but I found the dang thing addictive anyway...lol.
I want to get my hands on FarCry 2, loved the first one on PC.

Anyone played Bully? It's out for PC now and I've been tempted.

[JTShooter]

Pretty sure the new COD is set in Vietnam based on the comercials.

Nope, WW2, Pacific Campaign and Eastern Front (Russians)

[Taylor13]

Call of Duty: World at War completely changes the rules of engagement by redefining WWII gaming and thrusting players into the final tension-filled, unforgiving battles against a new ferocious enemy in the most dangerous and suspenseful action ever seen in WWII. Powered by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare technology, Call of Duty: World at War brings an uncensored edge to combat, as soldiers face the most harrowing and climatic European and Pacific battles in which an enemy, who knows no surrender and no retreat, will fight to the last breath, unleashing an arsenal of lethal surprising tactics. Peril and danger lurk throughout the battlefield as players combat the unknown risk of the new chaos of battle.


From the remains of Russia and the ruins of Berlin, to the beach and jungles of the deadly Pacific Theater, the volatile action takes on added depth as players employ new features that previously were only-available in multiplayer, including perks, rankings and online stats in up-to full four-player cooperative gameplay. New infantry and vehicle-based weapons, like the potent flamethrower, bring the battlefield ablaze.

From Gamestop.com if you search Call of Duty.

[perks]

Wii and 360 COD4, COD WaW 3 days can't wait. XBOX Live tag- bperks82 hit me up. just let me know your from O.com

[Southflaguy]

Wow....no Halo fans on here??

Nah...A bit over rated..Cool game though...

[AgentMan]

Halo has nothing on the Half-Life series.

I just....wasn't at all impressed with the new GTA and ditched it after three weeks of dabbling.San Andreas was one the of the single greatest video game experiances of my life. IMO IV was what you got when you mixed GTA3 and The Sims. Very little to do outside the main story compared to SA. I was hopeing for so much more then what they gave me.

[BlackSun23]

I think I just creamed my pants reading that description Taylor, hold on let me check...



Yep, dam,n it!@

I can not wait to play that. An old game but a really good one is Command & Conquer Red Alert. Has anyone on here played World in Conflict? That game is pretty cool, I was hooked on that for a while.

[TXGrunt]

Which League grunt? I've heard of quite a few leagues, and even helped out in a few. I'm all for FPS, but my brother has my headset currently, So I can't FPS. I'm just playin WoW till I get them back lol.

[Original Sin]

I have a Wii and a PC. I hardly touch the Wii, but if I get the Wii Fit I might play it again. Wii games are fun, but there just aren't enough titles that aren't catering to 14 year olds.

PC is awesome for gaming. Of course there's the MMO's, which are obviously addictive (World of Warcraft has over 3.7 million subscribers!), and make for decent social interaction instead of just sitting at home killing random people. There are as many great FPS games for the PC as there are the consoles, and most of the console shooters are made for PC as well. You just have to have a good system and be somewhat computer literate. There are tons of other styles as well for distractions, and obviously a PC has more uses than a console.

For you, I highly recommend Fallout 3. This game really is amazing! I've been a fan of the Fallout series since it began. If you have a PC you should find the early Fallout games and give them a try for nostalgia. Oh, and you should be able to turn off the V.A.T.S. to make it play more like a traditional FPS.

[seth10]

I got a 360 and a wii and getting a ps3 real soon

[GangGreen712]

I have a Wii, 360, and I still play my PS2 a lot because I have a bunch of games on it that I still love. I also play the Total War games on the computer.

[MDS]

San Andreas was one the of the single greatest video game experiances of my life. IMO IV was what you got when you mixed GTA3 and The Sims. Very little to do outside the main story compared to SA. I was hopeing for so much more then what they gave me.

I got flamed pretty hard on gamespot.com for making that same point. Loved San Andreas.

Yes, I own that for PC. It's a lot of fun. I've not touched it in months and need to finish it...hmm.
They're supposed to be doing a console version soon and we'll be able to play as Russians if we choose.

[Drummadude12]

Ooooh Me!

I used to be obsessed with computer games. Valve (Half Life 1 & 2, Counter Strike Source, Gary's Mod), GTA:San Andreas, and COD 2. I also played Sims, Zoo Tycoon, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and other fun simulation games.

Once my computer started acting odd and crashing often, I wiped my hard drive and switched to Linux.... specifically Ubuntu. Its now just for school and internet, since most games are for Windows and Mac, not Linux (which is free).

I'm currently using my brother's Xbox 360 while he's teaching abroad, and I may buy it off him, including games, for just the price of the console.
I'm playing the Orange Box (Valve) and GTA IV. Running lights and sirens throughout Liberty City never gets old. And when it does, one can "serve warrants" using the police MDC.

I also have a PS2 but don't play it anymore since I'm focusing on the new 360 stuff.

[AgentMan]

Yes, I own that for PC. It's a lot of fun. I've not touched it in months and need to finish it...hmm.

One game I got hooked on is Rise of Nations, That game is pretty kick ***. I couldn't get into the C&C.

[Raven9924]

I can not stop playing it. If any of you guys have it add me. (XBOX 360)
My gt is: Der Tote Engel

[AgentMan]

FPS on console is just lame to me, I can't stand it.

[AuxNY]

I have a ds that I am quickly becoming addicted to. I don't have many games and am hoping that some good ones go on sale on Black Friday. Does anybody have any recomendations? :)

[AgentMan]

It all depends on what you like AuxNY. I can't really give you any recommendations as the type of games I play is probably different from yours.

[Zamkn]

Gears of War 2 on the xbox 360=fun.

[MDS]

I have a ds that I am quickly becoming addicted to. I don't have many games and am hoping that some good ones go on sale on Black Friday. Does anybody have any recomendations? :)

I've got a DS also and enjoy the Star Wars Lego saga. Indiana Jones Lego is fun also. Cooking Mama is also oddly fun.

[AgentMan]

I've seen Cooking Mama for the Wii, She would get very annoying.

[AuxNY]

It all depends on what you like AuxNY. I can't really give you any recommendations as the type of games I play is probably different from yours.

I have Super Mario Brothers and The Simpsons, both of which I love. I'm hoping to greatly expand my video game library come black Friday.

[livestrong6]

I am pretty much regulated to my PC for games at the moment. Crysis and Ghost Recon seem to be my main gaming entertainment for now. I built a new computer to just play Crysis at the highest settings possible. I am a bit upset that Madden 09 is not coming out for PC. I always thought it looked and played better on a PC then any console system. I'm looking foward to picking up a copy of Farcry 2 it looks impressive. Farcry will not be the requirements hog that crysis is. Tom Clancy's Endwar looks interesting as well.

[BPD_126]

Anyone playing COD:WaW on PC, drop me a PM so I know who you are and add me to your friends list. User name is KC_Pig. Always looking for other people to play with.

[CityCopDC]

I got flamed pretty hard on gamespot.com for making that same point. Loved San Andreas.

That place is such a joke now till its not even funny. The mods are out of control and god forbid if you write your own review and a Sony fanboy doesnt agree with it... :eek:

[CityCopDC]

[ChevyPower]

I just love computer. Grew up playing on computer, and while I can do alright on consoles, PC is where it's at.

I can run any game, and wont have to upgrade for years, and with Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 coming out, I can’t wait to crank up the graphics!

I’ve played all the Half Lives, Counter Strike 1.6 and Source, Team Fortress 2, Potral, Assassin’s Creed, Theif series, Command & Conquer series, Ground Control, Warcraft 3, Battle for Middle Earth series, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Call of Duty series, World in Conflict, Far Cry 1&2, Halo 1, Rainbow 6, Diablo 1&2, Crysis, StarCraft, and I cant remember if there are more. May edit it in the future.

[AgentMan]

I play that spice. Off and on anyways.

[CoffeeRoll]

That's pretty awesome Spicehd!
I am definitely the semi-opposite....I just press a bunch of the buttons on the controller & hope I hit something right!

Actually, I just updated my 360 the other day & it keeps freezing up on me....Pretty frustrating - but since I can only put electronics together & don't have a clue how their inners work - I can not fix it - but, I push thru anyway....or try to!

Congrats on being happy in MD! Nice to know there's other chicks on this forum that like video games!

[AgentMan]

That can be a problem, but hell, I'm playing it right now lol.

[Southflaguy]

I wish the Sony people would come out w/ better games for the PSP...I would love to see Max Payne out for the PSP...

[Jester69]

I liked Left 4 Dead when i played it at a friends house...but its really hectic and crazy when your playing with someone that sucks at first person shooters. Im a real big fan of Rock band and Rock band 2 and enjoy playing it for several hours at a time.

[Southflaguy]

Sam I am you're a gamer?...Nice:cool:...
