PC games, Xbox games, PS3, WII, whatever.

I own an Xbox 360 and play online regularly. Since I have a Block Buster pass, I can rent anything in the store at any time and swap it out for anything at any time.

So, if somebody has XBL, add my gamertag: lopedo

Post what games you have, too, it will help.

 

[Pat_the_Baker]

Games I have:

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete
Metroid: Fusion
Metroid: Zero Mission
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Final Fantasy I & II Advanced
Final Fantasy IV Advanced
Final Fantasy V Advanced
Final Fantasy VI Advanced
Final Fantasy XII
Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans

What I'd LIKE TO SEE COME OUT:

An X-Men Legend 3 with retro-Hellfire Club outfit white queen, large fluffy hair Rogue, and Onslaught as the main villain.

A continuation of the Lunar video game saga with a beastwoman dancer/martial artist playable character AND NO DAMN CARD/KIDDIE COMBAT SYSTEM (enemies should DIE dammit...not be REDEEMED)!

A remake of Super Metroid with new bosses, weapons, and puzzles.

A Legend of Zelda sequel to Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask (which would also function as a prequel to Twilight Princess).

A Nintendo character-based RPG (akin to Kingdom Hearts) whose two main heroes are Kevin (aka Captain N: The Gamemaster) and Princess Lana (ruler of the Nintendoverse).

An action/rpg game set in the Megaman X Universe starring Megawoman Eve (Megaman X's sister), her allies in a specific Repolice headquarters, and her fight against her brother (Dr. Light's secret last resort against Dr. Wily) Adam and the mysterious god-like reploid Alpha.

A Dragon Ball Z RPG with NO (AND I MEAN NO) CARD BASED SYSTEM IN IT and a power level system similar to Legend of the Super Saiyan.

So I can delete tears of pain or whatever you old XB name was?

 

[Rox_My_Sox1]

I here ya Clown! I'd like to see all of those!

 

[Leo Tickles1]

That one shouldn't even be active anymore since I swapped them.


But yeah I went back to the original. The other one was too emo for me. 🙂

im playing medal of honour now 😀

im playing medal of honour now 😀

I'm sorry.

I played the beta and thought it was awesome, bought it day one, aaaaand.. sold it the next morning.

Fucking spawns are horrible. Not even. It's that there is only one spawn zone. So, spawn, walk 2 feet, snipe, get sniped, rinse and repeat. Fucking boring. I gave up after I went 45-0 because I spawn killed the entire team. It wasn't fun, it was bullshit.

 

[Fiend1]

I own a PS3 and a Wii. Games far too numerous to mention, but a couple of favourites that I have for each system:

PS3
Batman Arkham Asylum (I'm on my 3rd playthrough and for some reason just keep coming back)
Burnout Paradise (I've had the game for pushing 2 years and have yet to tire of it)
Infamous (completed 100%, can't wait for the sequel)
Half Life II: The orange box (Worth the price of the game for 'portal' alone)

Wii
Both Super Mario Galaxy games (1 was awesome, 2 was even better)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (as 1st Person shooters go for the WII, I can't imagine another coming along as technically brilliant and great to control as this one)
Madworld (I love those commentators)

However, the WII doesn't get as much use as it should, because I feel that there's a sad lack of quality games for it. Still, I'm getting goldeneye and Metroid: Other M for christmas, so hopefully there should be an upsurge of Wii playing shortly thereafter.

I'm getting a Kinnect sp? for Christmas..not sure that counts as video games etc.

 

[Leo Tickles1]

Kinect has some decent things going for it, but so far, I haven't been impressed by any of the games.

The casual gamer would probably enjoy it, though. Let us know how it turns out for you Iz.

 

[melanie2]

Well i'm buying it mostly because you can physically interact with it..i thought it would be a change from the treadmill..i'm not adept at all with video games..i do remember Pong..ah me aged me aged.

 

[Fiend1]

Pong is a classic. Like space invaders or tetris, it's always the simplest ideas that turn out to be the most addictive.

Yep.

Everything is so complicated these days that it forgets to be fun. Everybody is more worried about trying to figure out what to do than actually doing it.

This is why I mostly stick to shooters or fighters now, it's simple. RPG's and adventure games are complicated, but for all the wrong reasons.

yeah i couldnt get online workin :/

 

[NMKamikaze1]

System: PS3

Games

Afro Samurai (Old, but still addictive)

Army of Two: The 40th Day (Got it for Christmas, beat it on all difficulty levels the next day. Addictive as hell.)

Super Street Fighter 4 (Also got it for Christmas. Not really liking it that much. Might sell it.)

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City (Completed both stories. Now, all I do is spawn the APC and go to war with the police.)

Fight Night Round 3 (A classic boxing game that I started playing on the old X-Box.)

Fight Night Round 4 (I don't like this one. The only thing good about it is the graphics. Everything else sucks. I'm definitely selling it.)

Def Jam: Icon (I got this game the same day I bought my PS3. Haven't played it in almost 2 1/2 years.)

Virtua Fighter 5 (Traded it in at Game Stop because is was fucking boring. I seriously regret the day I bought it.)

Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 (Traded it in at Game Stop. It was fun when I first got it, but the more I played it, the more boring it became. I was thinking about buying the 2011 version, but my conscience kept telling me I'll regret it.)

I know this will never happen, but I would LOVE to see Fight Night Round 2 and NBA Street: Volume 2 be made for the PS3. Those games are classics and I'd give almost anything to play them again.

 

[Sir Bombers]

Hmmm... anybody with a PSN gamertag round these parts? Would love to play some games with TT folk... 😉

[Beckers1]

Hahaha I agree DuckKing, I love TF2 as well ;o

 

[DuckKingXI]

A few of my personal picks are the House of the Dead series (Not 4), CarnEvil, Lucky and Wild, TMNT: Turtles in Time, The Simpsons, Sunset Riders, Bucky O'Hare, and the Fatal Fury games.

Just a violent young man aren't ya? However I know and played most of those games too... 😉

 

[DuckKingXI]

Yep, that's me alright. I do remember a trip to the Shakespeare festival in the 7th grade. They had some light gun games and people were staring at how well I was doing. I guess it's a bad thing I can shoot 1000+ rounds in a single level of CarnEvil? Heh heh heh...Always did like them a lot. Felt more natural than moving a joystick around.

Oh! I left out Marvel VS Capcom 2. Silly me. My friends would laugh that my team was made of girls...Then they'd stop laughing when they got crushed by Little Red Riding Hood with a machine gun >___>
