So yeah, I own a Gamecube and a PS3.
Currently playing Metal Gear Solid 4, along with the occasional bout of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Razz

The PSP? My brother has one of those I think... He never used it. Just like every one of his Christmas presents he ever gets...

I sold my PSP !!
And i own a PS2 and Wii .. I'm quite bored of the Wii, mainly because i have no new games and most the games are easy and childish. I just brought Guitar Hero 1 and 2 dead cheap from HMV so been playing those !! I already own Guitar Hero 3. pig

haha yes....erm......Games....ermm...

All I can say about any of the Guitar Hero games is that they are great at small gatherings...(not large ones... then people get pissy about waiting too long to have their go) but I wouldn't imagine myself playing it alone at home...
All seems a bit 'Wii'-esque to me...

And I can imagine all 3 being very similar only different songs..

correct me if im wrong anybody that actually has it haha

Subject: Re: Video Games! Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:17 am

thats the reason that i put off buying it the other day... didnt want to just be playing on my own and becoming 'THAT' guy (see link for reference)

THAT guy *link*

here are more of his videos *link*

Subject: Re: Video Games! Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:31 am

I has a PS3, a PS2 and currently on-loan, a PS1 Very Happy

Currently searching for a GameCube with Twin Snakes, and a Dreamcast (for no reason).

And yes J, yet more mentioning of the greatest game of all time, I'm constantly on MGS4 at the moment.

Sister has a Wii downstairs, it's terrible, though for some reason I really want No More Heroes, and maybe the Smash Bros. game for it.

Subject: Re: Video Games! Sat Jul 19, 2008 1:23 pm

Guitar hero 3 is epic. Surprisingly addictive! I would certainly recommend it!

I cant believe no one has mentioned gta4!! Its incredible. hands down the best game out this year.

I wouldn't say its the best game out this year...

It's pretty good. Definitely surprised me. I was expecting to hate it because I've become bored of the older versions, but for some reason this one kept me entertained for quite a while..

I think they've started to make decent steps towards interactivity, gotten rid off the stupid 'buy this house for no reason' idea and added different things, such as the internet, using the phone a lot more, and being able to call your friends up to go play pool.

...Still no where near as good as MGS4 though and I haven't even played that yet!

Subject: Re: Video Games! Sat Jul 19, 2008 6:45 pm

GTA4, for me, was the most disappointing game in recent years.
Changed too much, and in doing so, got rid of a ton of fun.

Subject: Re: Video Games! Tue Jul 22, 2008 1:59 pm

Personally I thought using the phone was incredibly tacked on, and using it became a complete no-no if you're being shot at because you've got to start again. Possibly the worst implementation of a new idea in a game ever.

Plus stuff like watching TV and going on the internet is completely pointless in a game like that.

The most dissapointing thing for me was that traditionally in a GTA game, when you just feel like going on a rampage, you enter the cheats for full weapons and health, and then all hell breaks loose, and its so bloody fun you can spend ages doing it.

Theres no fun to be had doing that on IV. Especially when the limited the bloody rockets to 8 and you nearly always missed people with them.

Not a good game at all.

I agree about the lack of rampaging, but the missions were ok....

Not the best... but I didn't want to throw it out the window...

Subject: Re: Video Games! Tue Jul 22, 2008 10:23 pm

I threw it out the window... or traded it in.. whichever Razz
