Video Game talk

The PC is probably my favorite that games are still being made for, although the 360 is a close second. I don't have much first-hand experience with the PS3, mainly because the console just never interested me, although I did get hooked on Fight Night Round 3 for the PSP. I do enjoy the Wii (or at least did when I had access to one) mainly for the sports games just being so damned fun.

I got a PS2 in my junior year of high school (or was it sophomore year? Most of those four years are a little...fuzzy) after playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City with my cousins. Before that, it was the N64, where I got my first taste of FPS in 007 GoldenEye (a copy of which I owned after renting it weekly got too expensive) and space combat with Star Fox 64. Around this time we got our first computer, which came with Oregon Trail 3 and a game about shooting alien craft that I can't remember the name of.

But my all-time favorite, even with the quality titles on modern hardware, is the Super Nintendo. Because it was my first, and much as in love you never forget your first. I've had this console since I was six, and I still occasionally fire it up and play one of my games.

Yeah, Microsoft and Sony definitely need to take the plunge; we're not gonna be satisfied with Activision rehashing all their games every year and Halo 72. As much as I loved COD4 and Halo Reach, I want something fresh. Unfortunately for MS and Sony, I found that in LucasArts and Ubisoft.

Not that it's all that unfortunate for them financially, since they certainly will make a great deal of money off those titles. But, y'know, principle.

Consoles I own: PS2, Wii and a Gameboy (not a GBA or DS, the original, black and white 8-bit handheld gaming device the size of a brick. AND IT STILL WORKS!)

Favourite games: Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, Dead Or Alive. I'll see if I can get a PS3 for my 21st this year, so I can play FFXIII, FFXIII-2, GTA4 and DOA5.

Acording to sources, the 8th Gen consoles are coming out next year. My first deck ever was an Atari 2600. I look at the 360 and think about that first one and wonder at how far we've come.

And I recall games costing 50 bucks back then too.

My last system before the 360 was a SuperNES.

Anyone Call of Duty or Red Dead Redemption fans?

I'm getting the Wii U, and I'm hoping that new versions of Animal Crossing, MarioKart, Super Smash Bros etc. will be released over the next 2 years.

Battlefield Vietnam was a lot of fun, partly because I liked making fun of the AI, and partly for the music. I thought Call of Duty: Big Red One was pretty good, as was Call of Duty: Black Ops, but that might come from never playing them online.

I just hope Bethesda gets their act together for the next Elder Scrolls and works all the bugs out of the next installment before they release it. Bethesda isn't a division of Microsoft by any chance is it?

I was being facetious ;D

LOL, a little off topic but I hate Apple... ;d

Actually not oo far off topic. I never really used a Mac, other than the ones in the library at law school, and I thought they were OK. But I didn't have much experience with them.

I DON'T like the way they're priced. I think they could do better in that regard, and probably get more market share in the process.

Apple's are good work computers, from what I've experienced of them. But that's because they're a lot harder to screw around on.

LittleBigPlanet Kart, though? That sounds awesome. Makes me think of the Designer mode from Excitebike.

Star Wars Battlefront could use an update for current consoles. I've spent entire years on those games.

Holy freak yes, Thomas. LucasArts has been avoiding what is the biggest cash cow of all time and it's driving me nuts. It doesn't help that all the developers they grant the rights to go under.
