I can't wait for that new Metal Gear Solid. My sisters husband just purchased PS3 so hopefully I can rent it and take it over for a couple days!

Phynix, Swede, The Orange Box was awesome as you have recomended. Not only were the games all 5 star quality, there was 5 of them (honestly the best bang for your buck I've ever seen in a video game)! I thought portal was very cool also. I Iliked how you didn't have to fire one shot and it was all problem solving. Funny at times too.

What are your favorite 5 games ever off the top of your head? Mine are:
Final Fantasy 7
Super MArio 3/Mario 64 (tie)
Metal Gear Solid
Knights of the Olde Republic
Castlevania Symphony of the night

 

[phynix]

Half Life
007 Goldeneye
The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
Medal of Honor: Allied Assult
GTA:San Andreas

[phynix]

any good online games?

??

In what aspect? There are millions of great games that turn crap as soon as you go online with them. Then there a load of great online like COD4, R6V2, WoW, UT3 etc etc!!

OK so who's got their order for GTA IV? I heard they put out Episodic parts for it like they did with Half-Life 2??

Haze is soon to hit the PS3 I dont really know much about but I've heard people calling it the Halo of the PS3 - Not sure if this a good thing or not??

I'm planning to order GTA IV from an english or german webstore, because it's cheaper than here. Which brings me to a question for you, Phinix. If I'm not wrong, you're british? Maybe you can help me. Is http://www.game.co.uk/ trustworthy site to buy games from?

 

[phynix]

game is a fantastic website with a very good reputation and the games that I and my friends have ordered from the site sometimes arrive early, with one game coming through my door three days before the release date!

Thanks for information.
Now off to order

As a lifelong fan of Robert E. Howard's Conan The Barbarian (novels, comics, the movies, cartoons, games, etc), I am *really* hoping that the new online multiplayer game Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures can live up to even a tenth of my expectations. I am not a big online gamer and more of a solo adventurer, so I am a bit nervous that the game will be too social... heh. Barbarians aren't overly social!

It comes out May 20th. The release date was moved back from March of this year which I take as a good sign that they want to get things right. Anyone else got one that they are waiting for?

 

[phynix]

I just read that Fallout 3 is going have over 200 different endings. WTMF!

 

[Drexciya]

I am waiting for Tetris 4D with massive interactive online morphing role playing game features.

Fav games:

1. Pong
2. Pacman
3. Space Invaders
4. Super Mario Brothers
5. Duck Hunt

I AM OLDSKOOL.

Got GTA4 for 360, good game to check out. But not the best game out there. Still going with Call of Duty Modern War

 

[nekkid]

I just recently discovered Fable on xbox 360 ( I downloaded it from xbox live) Great game pretty funny too, you can burp and fart! haha. I bought gta4 and havent played it yet because I cant put down fable. Fable 2 is coming out also.

I like it it combines button mashing with RPG. Plus you dont have to go to the store and buy it. A good game if nothing else interests you currently.

You just like the hookers in it.

 

[nekkid]

Hookers? I didn't get that far yet I guess.

I'm excited to find out they're gonna redo Splatter House!! One of my all time favs and its looking good too. http://www.the-magicbox.com/0805/game080502c.shtml

GTA is great, but my greatest game of all time has to be the pro evo series,
so many memories of me beating friends

 

[nekkid]

Hasd anybody that has played gta4 figured out the driving aspect of the game yet? I just simply cant drive well. I was good at it in the old games, but this one is different. I cant turn at all, every turn is very wide and I hit everything.

Glad I'm not the only one. You gotta use the handbrake/emergency brake more. But even then, I spin out when I use it too hard. Just gotta tap it.
