The New and Improved Video Game Thread

My life is almost complete: Enemy Territory -- Quake-based semi-MMO. It's like Battlefield 2...only Quake.

I've already pre-ordered.

 

i bought it for my 360. it is one of the funnest games i have ever played,a long with Oblivion.

 

I got mercaneries for the xbox. Pawn shops are great for used games. LOVE THE GAME!! you can what ever you want. I planted some c4 on a big monument. BOOM suckas. killed a whole group of civlians standing under it.

 

It truly is one of the BEST superhero games I've played and I have played them all or close to it.

I snuck a peek at some of the cheats and I just had to have the one that unlocks all the alternate costumes for every character.

I put everybody in their 70's and 80's costumes! It's sooooooo cool!


Beta Ray Bill rocks!

 

Yah, I played marvel alliance for my xbox. A great game - my son even enjoyed playing it.

I just finished playing ghost recon 2 for xbox 360. Very good game IMO. Graphics are awesome and there is just something great about firing a minigun from a blackhawk.

 

i finnished kotor2 last week and started devil may cry 3, call of duty and x men leagands 2 and i just cant get into them

 

Mercenaries is a great game. I've thought about letting Isabel have a crack at it and see how she does, but I'm worried she'd be working for the SAS before she was 16.

 

Isabel is not River.

 

have you met our daughter?

She talks about stuff being "old skool" and "new skool" and she's only 5. She also knows what to do in case of zombie outbreaks (aim for the head).

 

Knowing and doing with supernatural instinct are two different things. But I can see where the concerns about working for the SAS come from...

 

Did I mention that she has been known to beat my slacker brother at video games? They used to play halo and battlefront together. The only thing I'd worry about with her is the recoil. She's tiny and doesn't even weigh 40 pounds yet.

 

There's some out there should take right good care of that recoil problem...

 

Not like when I was 5 and my dad thought it would be great to let me shoot the jack-o-lantern with a shotgun.... It knocked me over and made me cry, even though he had me braced. I think I destroyed it tho. I only remember the falling over.

That was also the year I drove the tractor while he loaded hay on the wagon...

 

Yeah, the new .50 cal they're testing has just barely more recoil than a .22.

I've thought about taking her to the range with me, too, but...again...same problem as with "Mercenaries."

 

LOL. Try shooting rifled slugs out of my Benelli 12 gauge semi-auto riot gun. It's a hoot, but my shoulder is still toasted from 2 weeks ago.

 

back to video games...I finally got the DDR (dance dance revolution) game for the x-box. I found a mat online for $10 and the 4th game online for pretty cheap, so I ordered them. The mat came today, but the game has 4-10 more days before it should arrive. I couldn't wait, so I stopped at a local used game place and got the 3rd ultramix one. IT TOTALLY ROCKS! I played for about 20 minutes and only stopped because I had to get the bug and still need to work 2 more hours...that and I was getting pretty sweaty. I can see how this is good exercise, and the one I got even has an exercise option. Maybe this will help with the fact I'm a white girl and i have no rhythm...but I don't think it can work miracles.

 

Try one at a time DH.

 

oh yeah

 

I only find CoD fun when I can beat up on other people.

 

i think i need another good 1 person squad based game like republic commando or rainbow 6

anyone know of one?

 

ya rly. That kid is way beyond her years. I can see her winning a science fair by making homemade c4 and a crystal radio detonator. either she gets the blue ribbon or the school gets a new gym.

We could always start her on something small. 9mm,22lr or the ar-15 and move up as she gets older.



Been having insane fun on mercaneries. Got the urge for zoom inspired chaos. Took down an entire city with c4 and a tank. Later I was out of ammo and pinned by a north korean on a jeep. Whats a guy to do? air strike baby!! 2000 lbs of laser guided fun.

 

ok, i thik im gonna buy this. gamestop.com has it listed for $12.99 used

 

Is this still on? At the hotel or at Grimby's? I'd prefer a different weekend, since I'll only be at Starfest on Saturday, but I'm down with majority rule.

 

At the con would be great, as it'd actually give me the opportunity to make it to a video game night...but...past experiences tell me that even if we have all the gear there, we probably won't be doing any gaming at all.
