Honestly couldn't tell you Norm. And yes, leaving your system on the carpet will cut the life span of it by a year or so. It may not seem like much but it is in the long run. I still have my original PS2 from when it came out, and it plays blue discs and dvd's like no problem. I've had friends who leave their systems on the floor and are already on like their third PS2. But, anywho. DEAD RISING AUGUST 8th. You must own it, if you have a 360. xD Sorry.

 

[BigNorm]

never heard of dead rising, i'll have to check out a trailer of it or something.

 

[Gamer2471]

You've never heard of Dead Rising... Norm, I should slap you. xD Kidding. But on a more serious note yes you need to check it out. Imagine, a thousand zombies on screen at once, and you can use ANYTHING you can find in the mall to kill them. It's just too... perfect. If Capcom messes it up though, it'll be the biggest disappointment of 06 unless Gears of War bombs.

 

[BigNorm]

omg, totally sounds like my kinda game. hell, we had a huge thread a while back on tactics of what to do if the zombies were to walk the earth. i must check this out.

 

[BigNorm]

That looks pretty bad ass. Have you had a chance to check out Prey, Norm?

i'll be damned. i downloaded all the trailers i could find and man was i blown away. i'm getting that game even if i have to sell a kidney. thanks so much for letting me know about it. talk about a sick, sweet game. Prey is the "IT' game for sure.

i saw dead rising, it looks like State of Emergencies with zombies and better graphics. i could find a trailer of it though. but no matter, since i won't be getting a 360 until it drops to $150-$200 or until halo 3 comes out.

 

[Hungarian21]

^Bah, if it's already been this long and no PC Halo 2, I'd just not bother with it. But that's just me.

And I'm thinking about buying a Cube for the new Zelda, depending on if it's THAT good or not.

I heard that the PC Halo 2 comes out when Halo 3. :/

 

[BigNorm]

except you can only play Halo 2 for PC with the new windows OS due to come out soon, which would cost hundreds of dollars to get. so it's cheaper just to get an xbox. those microsoft bastards...

 

[Gamer2471]

Prey is kinda short, but for the most part it had some amazing things in it. I'm not so sure about Halo 3 right now. MC is awesome and all, but if it's anything like 2 story wise I'm not gonna buy it, I'll rent it though, lol. I didn't care for being the Arbitor or whatever his name was. Oh and hey, atleast Microsoft made it so you can upgrade your 360. :Cough cough.: Sony. :cough cough.:

 

[BigNorm]

oh, Prey's out already? better stop flappin my jaw here and go get it. the trailer looked crazy awesome, little kids getting possesed and killing other kids... dark, dark, stuff, man.

 

[Hungarian21]

Actually, considering the fact that I havent even finished Halo 1, (I got it like 2 days b4 flying out😛), I cant say how much I need to get Halo 3. But, since some of you already played Halo 2, I'd ask you: Which ones better? 1 or 2? And I dont care about spoilers; write whatever you want. 😉

 

[BigNorm]

beats me, i haven't even played 2 yet.

 

[Gamer2471]

1 definitely story and multiplayer wise. Halo 2 was so hyped up that it wasn't as fun for me to play it. I ended up beating it the night it came out, and still went to school the next day, lol. Halo 2 is fun action wise, and has better things to it, such as the dual guns. I don't care for the swords though, cause you can kill and be killed in one hit, and people cheat badly on Multiplayer. So basically stick with 1 if you are in it for a story, 2 if you prefer just the game play and what not. Oh and Norm Prey's been out for about two weeks now. xD I've already played through it twice. The kids part was kinda creepy, but over all it's a good game. Speaking of which have you looked up on Dead Rising yet?

 

[BigNorm]

yeah, i looked up Dead Rising and all i could find were pics of it, not actual gameplay footage or clips or anything. like i said before, in the pics, it looks like State of Emergency with zombies and better graphics. i can't make a better judgment without a trailer or gameplay footage.

 

[Gamer2471]

When you see it, you will be amazed. The only game I feel that's coming out that can somewhat compare is Gears of War, but there's no actual footage of gameplay at that, and I was talking to the Microsoft rep who came in the store yesterday, and he was telling me that from what he's seen it looks awesome. But yeah, to check out some game play look it up on Youtube, it has a bunch of videos of it on there.

i'll keep looking for a Dead Rising clip. here's a funny little clip about some game coming out, where Sony reall contridicts itself.

Lol based on history and ancient battles, yet it involves a giant crab? xD Now everybody knows where their six hundred dollars is going lol. Anywho, I also heard they will have some Megaman content in Dead Rising, as well as Resident Evil cameo, which would be cool. But then again maybe not everybody is excited about it as I am, cause I'm a huge horror/zombie freak. xD

Dead Rising sure sounds like it's right up my alley, i caught the last half of a commercial on tv for it, it looks pretty sweet. just wish it came out for pc, won't be able to get a 360 for a good while now.

Hasn't there been conformation that the new Pokemon games on DS are going to be online? If thats the case, I'm getting back into pokemon, hehe.

Really? Well, I can't say anything since I was into Pokemon (the games, not the crappy ass cartoon or anything) for about two years when it first came out.

So has anyone here played Oblivion?

man, i owned at poke'mon Red, Blue, and Yellow for Game Boy Color. it's addicting, though i doubt i'd get back into the series. there are way, way, too many poke'mon now. i remember when there was just 150, then there was 250 for Gold and Silver, god knows how many there are now.

 

[Gamer2471]

Honestly couldn't tell you about it being online just yet, but it is a neat idea actually allowing you to be the creatures rather than the trainer. The games were fun, and very addicting, lol. And about Oblivion, I honestly have about 150 hours of game play on one of my files. It's really fun, but where I'm at now I think I have the best weapons and armor you can get, not sure on that one though.

Yeah, I probably have somewhere around 100 now. I'm currently in love with it, and I'm gonna work on my third character soon ( my first female too :happy: ).

 

[BigNorm]

i've been hunkering for a good RPG for my PC, one where i don't have to pay monthly. any ideas?

Well it depends on what kind of RPG you're thinking of. Turn-based, strategy, action RPG, y'know.

whoa, there's different kinds?

i've always liked Pokemon for gameboy and Xenosaga. i guess either turn based and/or action rpg.
