TheHateMonger: I liked all the PC games they previewed...

The picture you posted contains a mistranslation.



Personally, I think that Wii Sports Resort and Little King's Story look like they have potential. I'll have to check the shops tomorrow for the second.

What the shiat was that??



Wake me up when it's time to nuke some bugs.

XMark: TheHateMonger: I liked all the PC games they previewed...

Personally, I would swap the positions of PC and Xbox 360 on that chart.

I'd swap the 360 with the PS3.

/ 360's easily the better RPG console this generation, at least so far.
// WTF Sony?

First quarter 2010 is so far away :(

Duke Nukem Forever?

/DWTFV

November... November... November...

Uncharted 2, will make me look like this



Very much excited for Wii Sports Resort
/thoroughly enjoying Ratchet and Clank on the ps3 (now that the price dropped on the game), quality platformer, very strange plot. Is this normal for this series, first one I have played.

/Also, Assassins Creed 2 looks oh so hot, loved the first

I think really, the first question ("do you like video games") could be replaced with "Are you willing to deal with configuration (hardware/software) in order to get more flexible control/performance"? and it would be perfectly accurate. Oh, except for the 360/wii comparison - 360 is still OK for local friends, and has better graphics, but wii has motion-focused control schemes and rules with first-party games... Oh, and 360 vs ps3 comes down to more than just multiplayer, too, since the ps3 does have some instances of good multiplayer (and it's free), but then the 360 comes back with a better entertainment interface ....

But now I guess I'm getting into nuances.

Oh, fark it, buy them all (I did :P - and I REALLY didn't mean to ... bought the wii right after launch for the kid, bought the ps3 when gt5 prologue came out, then bought a 360 as the main component of the living room entertainment center, and I've maintained a gaming pc for decades now :) ) - they really do all serve distinct niches.

its true, although there are fewer RTSs I am liking so its killing that genre on the PC for me. But Valve continues to get my business and Blizzard will too as long as the new battle.net is free

Mainly a console gamer though, loves all 3.

/super excited for Golden Sun on the DS though, wish they would bring that to the Wii

Yo, geek forum mods: Could we get some actual substantive game news on the front page? Like, something other than "12 Games That Run on the Nintendo Wii"?

C.O.R.E. looks like shiat, even for a DS title. The enemies look like DOOM sprites with more animations.

adamgreeney: Anastacya: Calander? Calendar....

But aside from that, everything good usually hits around October... just in time for Christmas.

I'll just stick to WoW and Overlord II for the time being. Still debating if I am going to switch from Ally to Horde. Guess I need to see if all my achievements are going to be wiped, first.

Really? Um, have you noticed the schedule this year and into next year? Ghostbusters, Infamous, Mirrors Edge, LOTR Conquest, the Star Oceans, Afro Samurai, Fear 2, Street Fighter, Killzone 2, Halo Wars, Tomb Raider Underworld, Mad World, Resident Evil 5, Resistance Retribution, Wanted, Chronicles of Riddick, X-men Origins, Prototype, Red Faction, and Overlord II all came out already this year.

That list is just the decent ones, not including DLC, downloadable games, or any sports games. Sorry, but it's come to the point where we get at least one or two good games every month throughout the year.

You forgot Plants Vs Zombies.

Fallout 3 was awesome on a pc. I like playing games on my laptop and I really dislike playing online because of all the annoying kids like on counter strike. Plus I like Rome total war games much more than halo or some crap like that. I think the expansions to fallout were good but broken steel should have come with the game originally, it's a much better way to end the game. p.s. don't put the fev virus in the water, and get Fawkes to start the purifier.

/want bioshock 2 or some new half life games

No, he didn't.

I've been rocking the new Red Faction on 360, and it's a lot of fun.
The multiplayer is ALOT like Tribes, and you can tear down pretty much any building.

/Sledgehammer melee FTW

UNC_Samurai: I think NCAA 10 may be the first EA sports title I purchase since Madden 04.



Dearest lovely America, supporting EA makes baby Jesus cry.

I hear nothing but praise for Little King's Story.

Waiting for Q4 2009 and Modern Warfare 2, Heavy Rain, ArmA 2, Uncharted 2. Mmmmm...

Bioshock 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum is what I am frothing for.

I got waaay too many games to occupy me in the meantime. Sold oldies but goodies - Valkyria Chronicles, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Left 4 Dead... got a bunch to finish still too.

moistD: /thoroughly enjoying Ratchet and Clank on the ps3 (now that the price dropped on the game), quality platformer, very strange plot. Is this normal for this series, first one I have played.

Yup, that's Ratchet and Clank to a T. Good game, sexual innuendo in the title (except for the first), lots of fun weapons. I've played the first 3, haven't done Deadlock, did some of the PSP one. I still need to get a PS3, and when I do, Ratchet is going to be one of the first games I get.

Fallout 3 is still my main addiction (waiting over 10 years for a game will do that), especially with all of the top-notch DLC they keep releasing (one more on the way, folks!), and Prototype has it's claws in me as well. I still haven't gotten tired of hurling random civilians at my enemies like exploding footballs of blood and guts. I think those two will keep me satisfied more than long enough for Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Left4Dead2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Batman: Arkham Asylum to come out.

/man, I'm going to be one broke motherfarker this summer...

I heard VC sucks, for various reasons, and I'm not willing to pay for a game that even Penny Arcade made fun of. Convince me otherwise?

Star ocean, frankly, was disapointing. What irritated me the most was that the creation system was tits up farking useless until you hit the post game, where 99% of the items you needed to make 'good stuff' would drop (and the final dungeon was just plain cocksucking bad). There was less then no reason to use the system before completing the game, and that just pisses me off.

Oh, and to the Blazblue comment-ers, is it worth picking up? I decided a long time ago it was going to be horrible, based only on the sheer pressure gamestop (online and physicals stores) was pushing it. You couldn't check the website or a store without seeing a screaming bleeding add for the game for the last 6-12 months.

Also, can anyone post a text summary of the link? I am not going to watch a video of crap I could find on gamefaqs or gamestop in under a minute (I mostly want to know what they consider worth mentioning).

The Bigs 2, please.

Clearly none of you have heard of BoneTown - the greatest porn game you can't jerk off to (due to it being too awesome of a game to put the controller down)

Check it out if you haven't: BoneTown Homepage (new window)

/I'm enjoying it, anyway.
//Already lost 10 hours in the past two days toying around with it.

adamgreeney: Until then the rest of us will laugh at you while you try to tell us Fallout 3 is better on a PC.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the better graphics, vastly better resolution, much shorter loading time, massive mod support from the Fallout community, and not having to try to use an analog stick to aim a gun.

Really, please, name any reason whatsoever that Fallout 3 could be better on a console.

Our DLC is only mostly broken on release date unlike yours which is outright farked from the get-go?

The Drizzt Do'Urden Experience: Our DLC is only mostly broken on release date unlike yours which is outright farked from the get-go?

Well, till they get it fixed, there's all that unofficial free DLC I can play with in the meantime. And quite possibly an unofficial fix to the official DLC, for that matter.

I just don't know why people would claim a console that was based on last year's tech the day it was released, and using a vastly limited controller I could plug into my computer if I wanted to, and limited to a 1920x1080 resolution, is somehow the better way to game.

Not that I'm saying consoles are trash. You can buy a better console than computer for the money you'd spend. But claiming they're the best way to game is like claiming that your new budget hatchback is the best way to drive, when there are clearly better cars if you're willing to spend more. If you want to argue about which hatchback is best, go nuts, but don't start claiming it outdrives a Mustang.

Haven't you heard? EA is on the up and up.

Activision is the new gaming Satan.
