The video game thread

[Spaceboy]

There are some good games that never come out for console, some genres play better with a mouse and keyboard, and the couch + TV isn't my favorite.

Did I say I wanted to sound that way 'for ever'? Typo! I meant 4evR.

Understandable, it probably works in reverse as well.
I've just never had a PC tuned for gaming.
Also, U R awesome.

Yep. Sometimes a controller is better, and my favorite part of playing Silent Hill 2/3 is people screamining in bloody horror beside me.

You can use USB adaptors that will allow you to use console controllers on PC ( I like the playstation controller the best so far).

Anyway, Happy Winter-een-mas to all and praise be to the Gaming Gods.

PS3 controllers do indeed rule supremely. I can't wait to try some dual shock ones.

And RE: fighting games... Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is the best. Tekken 6 will be even better.

I really need to go back and play those. I made it most of the way through 1 and stopped. Also, I need to go about collecting the Fatal Frames.

Paradise is starting to get too addictive. It's getting easier to get a hold of the map and the routes as I play more and more, which makes it easier to win

I realize I am totally lame for posting this. But, I really want an arcade Galaga. I saw one at Sharper Image (I think) and lusted in my dark little heart for it.

I'm with you there. I still think there might be too many shortcuts though.
With as many as I miss, that is.

Not lame at all whatsoever.
Actually, with the Xbox Live Arcade, I can just download it.
Let me know when you want to come over and play.

I really want to play that.
It's been so long since I've played a good Mario game.

 

[Merriweather]

Add Defender and MsPac Man and we'll talk.

What lame? Retro gaming is awesome.

Rollin' old school, yo.

Done and done.

Oh, for sure. I bet a few months down the road, I'll go down a route and find an exit I hadn't seen before.

How many cars have you got so far?

 

[Spaceboy]

I've played through, completely, Mario 64 probably five times.
I hear this one is as good as that was.
Sunshine, however? Not so much.

11 or 12, I just got my B license.

The second one is the best.

 

[Spaceboy]

The second one is the best.

Have you played the fourth one? I played a demo for it and thought the idea was pretty neat. Being trapped in your apartment, in first person, and being able to see the outside world but not interact with it really did make me feel a bit creeped out and claustrophobic...and the only way out is a mysterious hole in the bathroom wall that leads to Silent Hill. Way cool premise, but I never played the final game to see how good the rest of it was.

 

[Dionysian Beast]

Ahh, I'm only a few wins into C. 7 cars so far.

I haven't purchased a Mario or Sonic game since the Unholy Alliance.

 

[Dionysian Beast]

I was downloading The Club and DMC4 demos earlier. Don't know if they're finished or not. Probably give them a try tomorrow.

the 4th silent hill was so creepy scary but all of them were!

 

[Spaceboy]

I don't like that, thus far, I've yet to find a car I care for.
Here's to hoping they get better.
And I should shut up, I know I've only gotten 11/12 of 75 cars.
They're bound to get better.

I just can't believe that the first game to feature both of them is something about the Olympics. Idiots.

Yeah, they better. I don't mind some of the cars I've got so far. But yeah, nothing too mind-blowing yet.

I need to download those too. And the free arcade game Undertow. And the Turok demo. Not enough hours in the day, I tell you.
