This can be the general video games thread where you can discuss news and information about the games that you are playing such as reviews and comments.

Currently, at this moment, I am playing a lot of NHL 08 online before I can get my hands on NHL 09. I am also playing some RSV2 with the new maps and update that allows you to go to ACES level 99 on each of the three categories.

Playing through my NHL 08 dynasty in the playoffs in our 5th season. Also going through Metal Gear Solid 4 which is fantastic and still playing Rock Band of course.

Never got into Rock Band. My future bro in law has it and Ive seen him play it but its not that exciting for me. Metal Gear looks good and the only solid gaming reason why I'd buy a PS3 at this point. (dont have a HD tv so blu-ray is null and void)

Yeah it's actually pretty great apparently great enough for Guitar Hero to copy with World Tour. Yeah there is pretty much only Metal Gear, Uncharted, and Resistance on the exclusives. Though Resistance two and LBP look pretty amazing.

i do like the xbox more at this point in terms of game variety.

Mario Kart Wii

I got a Wii last month and i really don't like it all that much. I don't know what it is.

I rented GRID and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the 360 last week. GHA pretty much sucks. I bet it might be fun if you like Aerosmith, but I don't so i didn't like it. I love GRID though. I have always been a fan of Codemasters stuff going back to TOCA and Colin McRea Rally. GRID is very similar to DIRT but instead of rally racing it is racing on road tracks.

I am not a fan of the Wii either. Too easy to develop for and too much crap on that system. Even the DS is like that... anyone remember when Nintendo had to give the Gold Seal of Approval for games on the NES? What happened to that?!

NHL 08 online teamplay, shootout. GTAIV with some friends. Waiting for NHL 09, and GOW 2. I'm interested in Spore for the PC. Playing some Day of Defeat Source now and then.

I also don't play rock band. It feels silly if you've been playing guitar as long as I have.

what is your gamertag ducks 304?

i am getting into halo 3 again.

Eh. I think the Wii's main appeal is to Nintendo's 'hardcore' fans (such as myself), and more recently people who either don't play games, or, much like the PS2, to kids who don't know any better and just want the sucky movie tie-ins.

It's a shame that the Wii's better games are mainly Nintendo's own (just not Mario Party 8. Don't even get me started on that). Then there's the occasionally good third party title, and then the shoddy PS2 ports with tacked-on Wii controls, and then the crap such as Ninjabread Man that doesn't even qualify as crap.
Oh yeah, and Wii Fit. Like many 'non-gamer games', it just doesn't appeal to me. Plus I refuse to pay £79.99 for that and the balance board which probably won't be used for much else.

Another personal gripe of mine is that there are no NHL games available for Wii. Or at least, there won't be until September 1st.


Anyways, I'm obviously playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl at the moment, seeing as it only came out over here about 2 weeks ago, and It was my most anticipated game for Wii. I'll be glued to it for quite a while.

I have heard that some Ski, Skateboarding, or Snow boarding games will use it

My gamertag is KJC29

Just recently got a Wii and am loving it. I've been practicing with Super Smash Bros. Brawl when I can. It's one of the best games, in my opinion. Ike rocks, hahaha.

Here is a link to a ton of stuff coming for the Wii

Wii Music, it will use the WiiMote, nunchuck, and Balance Board all in one for you to make music....


And even GTA for the DS, wtf.....

I am not playing, but my 8 year old kid lives in NHL 2K8 and Euro 2008 (soccer) ...

It's harder for me to find time to do much of anything on the PC lately due to work, but I'm basically fooling around with 3 things:

HistoricX mod for rFactor
MT, an italian pony for you: (it's not red though, it's silver)

Oldie but a goodie: Jagged Alliance 2.

I started to play Dead Rising again last night. I keep getting fudged on the ending though.

I'm still playing through Metal Gear Solid 4 I popped in Ridge Racer 7 in for about 15 minutes till I realized I still will never beat the last challenge.

Currently playing Lego Star Wars

Well I've got a lot of time on my hands now so I've been playing..

Wii

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
Mario Kart
Sonic & The Secret Rings
Star Wars: Force Unleashed
Carnival Games
Wii Sports


DS

Jewel Quest
Lego Indiana Jones
Lego Star Wars

Still completely hooked on COD4, Can't wait for Modern Warfare 2

I just rented Ghostbusters last night. Haven't had a chance to play it yet.

I finally bought Lego Batman on DS with some Christmas money and I'm loving it. I'm hooked on the lego games and have been moaning for ages that they need to make a Harry Potter one, and hurrah, one is due this year. I know I'm a big kid, but I don't care. I've seen the trailer and it looks fab.

My other recent purchases was Mini Ninjas on the Wii and Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics on the DS. I have bother with the really energetic games for the Wii as it's too much effort for my back so I probably won't be playing Mini Ninjas a lot but it's very funky. For a similar reason I decided to get the Olympics game on the DS as I only played the Wii version of the Summer Olympics once and traded it in.

PONG! jk jk

I like Mrs. Pac Man, Tempest, & Centipede.


I rarely play video games anymore.

Playing Football Manager 10 a fair bit on my laptop at the moment.

NCAA Football 10

Assassin's Creed II

Just got a 60 GB PS3, getting ready for some demon's souls and MGS 4

I dont know about anyone else, but I used to be really into Counter Strike. I mean REALLY into it!

Like this into it?

been playing psp a lot lately. hot shots golf open tee 1 and 2.

Been a lot of RPG love the last few weeks. Final Fantasy 13 and Resonance of Fate, while getting on the PS3 for some MLB the Show 10 and God of War III. Once March Madness is over (even though my bracket had been deemed toilet paper,) more time for games.

I have recently been obsessing about Lego Indy 2 on my DS. I also ordered the Sonic Classic Collection for a bit of nostalgia however it's out of stock so I'm not so patiently waiting on it turning up.

Fight Round 4 is my favourite at the moment..great game for playstation 3

I'm currently reacquainting myself with Super Mario Galaxy, mainly to do with me getting hyped up about Galaxy 2.

And if it counts, I'm also raising a couple of the old Digimon Virtual Pets (one's being used as cannon fodder for the other)

played some SC: Conviction the other day. really short game but good.

But its been mostly NHL 10 for me.

Just got Splinter Cell: Conviction. I really dig it.

Anybody giving Heavy Rain a shot?

Just smashed on Tekken 6, so going back to Final Fantasy until next week, Super Street Fighter 4 before UFC 2010 and Red Dead Redemption.

I want to play Heavy Rain, but I don't give my PS3 any love. I only played an hour of God of War and only a little bit of MLB 10.

I'm playing NHL 09 atm, still is a lot of fun Once the semester is over I'll probably buy Heavy Rain or the Lost Episodes of GTV 4

My friend and I are working on Resident Evil 5, co-op; it's quite beasty. And solo, I'm working on Beyond Good and Evil. Once I get a video card for my incompetent computer, I'll be able to play Call of Duty: World at War on it.

Fallout 3, DiRT 2 and Tropico 3.

Mostly been playing Mario Galaxy 2 lately, with some NHL 2K10 thrown in to keep me sane during the World Cup craze.

Also got Transformers: War For Cybertron for my laptop today, and it's just about capable of playing it. But it's oh so good

Ive been living my psuedo life with Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell Conviction. Good times.

I love the Splinter Cell games, I haven't played any of them since Chaos Theory (in my opinion the best of the series). Since school is out and I actually have time to play I FINALLY beat Assassin's Creed 2, now it's time to get started on the other games I still have to beat! lol

Sims 2 has taken over hours of my life again. It needs to stop.

Chaos Theory was amazing and by far the best game on the original xbox. Double Agent was lame beyond belief and Conviction is good but not CT. It's quite simple but the feeling of being a BAMF is not lost and is actually amplified a lot.

As for the Sims.... I have all three series and the third one is the worst. I am actually scared to play that game on my laptop because it eats your soul and takes your time as if it were milk money and the game was a bully on the playground.

NHL 10, MW2, Ace Combat 6...
Speaking of NHL 10, Aldogg and I have re-re-re-formed a team for EA online team play.
Seeing as the team usually falls apart after a month or so, its named:
"thisteamwontlast"
Its on XBOX live, send Aldogg or myself a join request. We are always looking for players. (especially defenders, as I cannot play D... Im good at defending like Boogard is good at scoring goals)
My Gamertag is SargeTheDuck See you online
