I just wanted to list games that I thought would be worth it to buy a system for to play if you didn't have the system already.Resident Evil 4 - GamecubeThis game definately had way better control of the last previous resident evil's that's for sure. The action was really intense, especially if your playing it along in the dark you actually jump more then a couple times (depends on how much your afraid of Zombies eating your nugget) which is always a sign of a good game. definately the best horror movie game I've played. Even if you don't like the horror it's a great action game, so if you have a GC try that game out when you get a chance.So who's next to add to the list? Try and do one game a thread so we can read about why you like it so much, instead of listing just 10 games or sumthinPosted Image

If your goal was to inform us of a video game, you did well...However, if your goal was to put this is the right forum.... Swing and a missjust giving you a hard time.... Though I beleive this should be in the off-topic forum.

I actually bought a PS2 for San andreas GTA. It's pretty good, but some people said this was the best game ever! I'm still playing and and wondering why they think that, but I've only played about 12hours or so of the game so we'll see.If anybody has this game, what are the highlight do you like of this game?

You can pay the price for the flop, but you gotta pay the price for the lessons.

Gamecube is a joke, but it does offer Mario Tennis/Mario Golf which are both great games. PS2 madden 05...always a classic.MVP Baseball is always a good one as well.

this game is the best ever hopefully u have gotten out of los santos by now after 12 hours of play, but maybe not. Late rin the game u can base jump anywhere u weant. u can also a lot of planes including the super fast harrier. Also if u make it 2 las venturas, the final city you can gamble up a storm.

It's not the best game (nor are any of the GTA games), but they are so diverse with lots you can do. Frankly, I didn't play San Andreas for more than a few hours myself (my daughter's boyfriend snagged it; I've since gotten another copy, but haven't had the chance to open it up again), but there's just tons to do. You can hit up contacts for missions, work out in the gym, do car tricks (a rhythm minigame like Dance Dance Revolution), find car jumps, etc.Yes, gamers rave about GTA being the world's greatest games, but they've always been pretty sketchy technically (you occasionally find yourself driving through walls; and until San Andreas, if your character went in water, his health would leach off until he died because they didn't want to have to program swimming animations), but the freedom of movement and non-linear gameplay made them games you could play for hours.And, yes, it appears that (to bring this back into the forum focus) Stacked might just be a really cool game. The AI (artificial intelligence) is supposed to be strong, adapting to your play to take advantage of leaks, considering that you'll possibly be on tilt if you lose a couple of hands in a row, etc. And the seven pros are going to be, in the sense of traditional video games, like boss characters that you'll meet at key points...and harder to beat. More on this as I know it (I have assignments to write it up for All In and Games Domain/Yahoo), because the "event" I went to the other day is the photo shoot that Daniel talked about in his blog, and the game wasn't shown at all. I only talked to the game producer about some of the features, and there was a lot that they weren't ready to talk about yet. A E

Yeah, but mainly for multiplayer (if you can stand all the kids, morons and racists chatting in your ear). Single-player was good, but ended suddenly because, uh, Bungie ran out of time to do it all by the release date Microsoft had decreed. :shock: The game was built around solid multiplayer, though, and it's really fun how you can group up with your friends and move as a "party" into games rather than having to do it individually and meet up on a server.
