I love the Silent Scope Arcade Games.

Currently I am playing Kingdom Hearts II and GTA: SA on PS2, NHL 2K5 and MLB 2K5 in XBox, and RE4 on GameCube.

Any Sid Meier game is awesome... Civ 4 is no exception...

The new Age of Empires is awesome... Sim City 4 and Red Alert.

How does Kingdom Hearts compare to the Final Fantasy series (if you can compare)? I'm considering picking up the new Kingdom Hearts game, but only if it's good.

WoW

I think it is a great game. It is more of an adventure RPG then a FF style RPG. The sotry is real good, the gameplay is fun, and tons of mini games. I would recommend getting the first KH though as it second will make no sense at all if you haven't played the first.

Madden and Halo2 are the only video games that exist as far as I'm concerned.

It's addicting.

I took a break when a kid I know wanted to gamble gold from WoW. I just felt like I was a huge nerd, so I stopped for a while.

thats nothin.. i had a roomate who was a big guido/club banger in public, but behind closed doors was the biggest gamer nerd in the world.. he would sit on his computer for hours and play games..

he actually went on ebay for one of the games (i dont remember which) and bought extra stuff for $40 of real money, so that he would be better in the game or something..

I have a friend whose girlfriend had a stripper elf as a character.

Currently I'm playing Amped 3 and G.R.A.W on the 360.

I'm waiting for Gamefly to send me Major League Baseball 2K6

Amped is snowboarding, right? I've been a big fan of the SSX series, but I'm not sure how other snowboarding games compare.

Amped is FAR superior to the SSX series. Even Amped 1 & 2 on the original xbox are still fun. Amped 3 on the 360 is nothing short of incredible.

I'm currently working on a master file for Kingdom Hearts 2, and plan on going back to finish off DQ8 after that. I might pick up Exit for the PSP soon, and I'm really digging the thought of NFL Head Coach. I might go back to RE4 also and work on that a little more, see if I can master ther Merc missions.

Anyone else looking forward to Stranglehold for PS3?

But I like doing super unrealistic monster/uber tricks. Does Amped feed this need? Also, the soundtracks for the SSX series are pretty good.

bump...









because Cuin4 started another thread for no reason and it should die.

Spore

That is all.

tonight i just beat Zelda: Majora's Mask for N64, and it is definitely the best game i've ever played. granted, i dont have a ps2 or xbox or anything, but MM is definitely better than ocarina of time.

also, today i got accepted to this GRAMMY camp this summer thats like for musicians aged 15-19, and there were 14 different "career paths" you could choose, like film scoring, performance, hip hop, audio engineering, etc, and i chose................video game music. its actually kind of a passion of mine, and we'll be working with EA games. who knows, maybe i'll make some connections.

i played both quite a bit and i have to say starcraft was the better of the two.
me and my brothers would play (and still do) across the network.
i was always protoss but im shifting more to terran now

I'll play halo 2 vs some onetonight,my gamerag is Krahler if you want to add me

NCAA March Madness 2005

I read some recent reviews for Final Fantasy XII, and they all (both) gave it perfect scores. It should be amazing when it eventually comes out (hopefully some time in the fall). Anyone else a big Final Fantasy Fan?

I recently installed starcraft on my computer again. I forgot how much fun this game was. If any of you want to play my name on battle net is Treees.

I don't own a console like PS or XBOX so I only play PC games. I don't have any classes this summer so I've been gaming a ton.
Just finished The Godfather
Civ III, haven't bought 4 yet, waiting for the price to drop a bit and for some more user reviews. I love the Civ games for the infinite playablity since each game is a tad different.
Diablo II expansion set, trying to get one of each character through the game.
Haven't played Starcraft in a while, may have to break it back out now that I've forgetten how to beat it.

I'm a big fan of the series. Definitely looking forward to XII seeing as how X and X-2 both sucked horrendously.

Same here, though I didn't really mind X and X-2 myself. A little cutesy maybe, but not bad games by any stretch.

I think you're in the minority with that view. That said, I enjoyed both games, and I'm ashamed that I never completed either. My brother beating OOT before me kind of killed my motivation. Another part of the problem was that I go on video game binges. I'll play a single-player game a tremendous amount for a few days but have a hard time picking it back up down the road...whether I finish it or not.

majoras mask is the crappest game created for 64.
epona was scared of link as of a child even when you play epons song she was still scared
the skull kid had crappy motive for stealing the mask
you lose all items at end of round
less dramatic story line
cant become adult.
according to every gaming site in the world including gamespot and IGN OOT is perfect
OOT poops on this game.

you, sir, are an idiot.

majoras mask is terrific. in OOT you cant complete an elaborate sidequest to marry a couple, you cant get 20 masks, you cant be a goron, you cant be a zora, you cant get 52 pieces of heart, and the temples are just as challenging, and the things leading up to the temples are much harder.

MM is a much more comprehensive game than ocarina. there is much more you can do, more sidequests and more challenge. i agree that the storyline is worse and that there is some shaky thematic material that often isnt really explained (like the kids on the moon that ask about "happiness" and "good friends" and crap), but i mean in terms of gameplay MM is just much better.

and you actually can become an adult. its called the fierce deity mask. and stop being so damn nitpicky about epona being scared of link. who cares? link has grown up a little bit. hes more badass.

one more piece of evidence pointing out MM's superiority is that it requires an expansion pack and OOT doesnt. that is a testament to, well, it being more expansive.

All Zelda games have sucked except for the origional.

How can you disklike Zelda: A Link to the Past?

You play starcraft too? What's your name on bnet?

Just recently bought FF7 on ebay for a $100 cdn.(original version, not greatest hits) On top of that I had to get a PS one, which ran me $40. So I have been playing it quite a bit.

Other games I have played recently:

Prince of Persia: Two Thrones
Godfather


On a side note, I am waiting for PS3 and Nintendo Wii(??), to come out and then I will weigh my options on which system to buy. I heard that the Nintendo will be half the price as the others. Is that true??

Garnes

It wasn't exactly innovative, same rehashed story with updated graphics. Thats been the problem with the majority of Zelda games, they lack the charm of the origional because it's the same thing over and over again. There are other franchises out there that are doing 3D adventure/RPG better than Zelda.

The new one on the Wii at least looks interesting.

Only game I currently play is Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition for the PC. Besides poker, it's my other pasttime and I'm a part of an online clan and we have matches, practices, etc... Anyone else ever play?

I was born to play Guitar Hero.

Godfather has been in the PS2 for the last two weeks or so at my house.

oh wow! get married and become a zora, who cares? zora guitar player? go figur.e its not nearly as challenging as OOT the temples in OOT are way harder.
with the deity mask you are an adult for barley any time.
gameplay better? please! OOT has the best game play out of the 2, probly one of the best in the world.

the original games were probly best y ou are right. but there is just something about playing in a 3D world, alot larger and more interactive than the originals.

i dont play online starcraft anymore sorry. not since i was about 10, but if you want i will go on sometime and do BATTLE

The origional Zelda was probably the largest when you scale it out to size. It had more dungeons, and more interactive parts of the world map than any one that followed in the series.

When the origional Zelda came out I remember all my friends having a copy and we would be calling each other up saying things like "holy crap, I just found this secret place over here and this and that happened". Every one since then has paled in comparison to that excitement.

I just bought a Nintendo 64 and 10 games off of eBay...so that will be fun.

I dragged out my NES and Dreamcast last night for a little retro action.

I ended up playing more Super Techmo Bowl than anything else. Even after 20+ years that still ranks as one of the greatest football games ever created!

Played a little Zelda on NES but just couldn't get into it just like all the others up to Wind Wanker.

true, in scale it was bigger, and there were alot of interesting things to be found

I think the new Zelda on the Wii will be pretty intense with the controler = sword feature.

I just read up on the new system and it looks pretty sweet. I am getting a little tried of the graphics battle going on right now. This system looks to bring gameplay back to the forfront instead of just pushing pixels.

Seen the clip where they use the controller like a bow and arrow?

Not yet but will check it out now. Interactive games...too fun and a possible solution to the child obesity problem.


Edit:

I saw the video. The tennis and golf games look sick. The sword fighting clips...wow!

I fully expect drunken Wii Tennis to rule frat houses nationwide.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006. I got 3 hole in one's today without the computers help, 5 total if you can't the gamebreaker ones.

link?

thanks for the link man.
i dunno if i will be able to get used to it, i used to use the 2 controller option on goldeneye but i think this will be a whole lot different.

good zelda videos here
