The New and Improved Video Game Thread

I think I'll be able to make it this Saturday. What time? Shall I bring anything to imbibe?

 

Dude! You gotta make it!

I'm in!

Oh! YES! we will. That game kicks booty!

 

I bought Marvel Alliance for the regular Xbox yesterday! Whoa!
If you like X-men:Legends, then you will like this. Lots of Heroes in this one. It would take some serious time to build up all the abilities in this game. Whew!

 

I got sidetracked by those damn web comics. And a cupcake. And somebody needing a priest for a quick dungeon run.

In addition, SCEA's Jack Tretton has offered up $1,200 for every PS3 you can find. We'll all be rich!

 

I would but I have to go to my in-laws house tomorrow.

Have fun, I wish I could be there.

 

It's lookin' a little slim Grim but I'm still up for it. I have a 64 and the best shoot out multiplayer I have ever seen. It's on Perfect Dark for the 64. It's a hoot and on your giganto screen, it should be awesome!

 

wish i had seen this.

i loved perfect dark. i lent it to a friend and never saw it again...

 

You didn't miss out DH, I never made it due to being snowed in. I will bring it to the next game night.

 

Picked up Final Fantasy III for the DS. I've only ever played FF7(PSX).

I'm only 6 hours in so far, but I'm loving it. They've given it a 3D facelift -- the old skool rasters are gone. Unforuntately, FF6 was just released for the GBA, but it didn't get the facelift. It's still the same basic graphics from the SNES (or was it N64? I dunno -- never played it).

 

It was on the Snes

 

Continue to advance on Marvel Alliance. The further I get into the game, the more replay value there is. Each character has a "Danger Room" session designated for their specific fighting style and a major villian for them to face off against at the end of the session.

Spider-Man vs The Scorpion
The Thing vs The Rhino
Wolverine vs Warstar
Ghost Rider vs Baron Mordo just to name a few.


Each character rerquires some time in this area of the game to truly get used to the powers each one exhibits.
If you want the most out of each character's abilities, you gotta play these mini-games!

I dare say, this is the ULTIMATE Marvel heroes game, even better than X-men Legends and those rocked!

 

There is a great site I go to for all things video game oriented...


http://www.gamespot.com/

 

I go there everyday multiple times.

www.ign.com is good too, same with www.1up.com

 

So I picked up SSX for the Wii. This game is very fun but also very hard. I would recomend it. I also picked up Resident Evil 4 for the PS2, it is only 20 bucks now. You have to love the greatist hits line. Also God of War 2 comes out next week. This is going to be a AAA title. I think I am finally over half way with Twilight Pricess. I just finished the Ice Mountain area. On to the next, still need two more pieces to the Twilight Mirror.

 

Wii vs. PS3 Commercial

 

Good question! Sometime in April? Any interest?

 

We could do a game night April 7th, but the next day is Easter. Is there any interest on the 7th. We could do next weekend, but that only gives people a Weeks notice. Then the 14th is the weekend before StarFest and I am sure people need to get ready for StarFest. Then the 21st is StarFest and the next weekend will be a weekend to recoup.

So what do people think?

 

dude, we could do it at starfest on friday??????

 

DUDE!!! That could be really cool. I could bring my 32 inch TV and my PS2. But I would need help getting that thing into my car and out. It weighs a ton.

 

i think you could use the hotel tv

 

Yes but more than one is always good.
