What type of Video games do you enjoy? I really like Basket-ball games NBA Live, GTA San Andreas, WWE Smack Down vs Raw 2006, theirs a lot of games but I really like FIFA Street 1 and 2 (Fifa Street 1 is better).
What do you guys enjoy and what game systems do you have, I have an PS2, Ipod (plays some games and movies) PSP and XBOX. And what do you think is the funiest.
SYD
I seem to enjoy the shooting games. My favorite is the unreal tournament serise. I liek online because it never gets boring and anything can happen even if your a great player. There are alot of other games i like. I enjoy sport games and racing games. Nascar seems to be fun andrequires alot of patience. But i never seem to jave time for them anymore.
RapsontheRise
Counter-Strike 1.6 and some Source is all i play.
cHop-sTicKs
Hitman series, NBA Live, sports games, cars, fighting games, FPS, Multi players, Online.

etc

Forest Gump

well...im not a big video game girl, but i did like a few games..well...because i only own a few games..and i only own PS1..yea i kno im out of date..
anyways, i liked playing a game called Parasite Eve, and I also like Crash Bash..lol
Shadowfax
i have the xbox 360 - battlefield 2 , modern combat would probably be my fav to play - not the highest rated for graphics but the online play is incredible...
others worth mentioning are ..
oblivion
tom clancy's ghost recon advanced warfighter
call of duty 2
project gotham racing 3
scully19
I got PC amd Xbox
PC i play CSS, i also got fear and oblivion for it, though ive beat them so am kinda done with them for now
Xbox i have too many games to list, only a few games have kept me playing them again
star wars knights of the old republic (1 and 2) Halo (1, not 2)
my favorite game right now though is on a system i dont even have, guitar hero for ps2, love that game, very fun game with great music

I am going to get xbox 360 somewhat soon, with game like gears of war and forza motorsport 2, but the time when i will get it (hopefully a price drop at christmas time, which i expect they will) is when mass effect comes out. That game just looks stupid good, if you havent heard of it check it out, graphics are nuts, this is my most wanted game for sure (did i mention it is from bioware, if you know what that means you may understand why i am excited for it)

$600 US...
Too much for a game console if you ask me,
games are supposedly going to be $80 US as well.
(once again too much)
CripwalkinK
I usually love sports games over action games. But I like the whole EA Series (except for baseball, I go with ESPN on that one).

For action, war and strategy: Battlefield 2, Counter-Strike, Hitman Blood Money. I enjoy Bond games aswell.

For racing: NFSU (all versions), Midnight Club 3, Forza Motorsport and Project Gotham Racing.

I was raised on Nintendo...
I don't play as many video games as I used to, but I'm still big on Mario games. I like NBA live too. I have a Gamecube and a Nintendo DS and I might get a Wii when it comes out.

Blu-Ray is the Beta of the "new millennium"
I still remember people paying through the nose for Beta players
"The quality is soo much better"
I think you know what happened there

Personally I am happy with DVD,
I have no need to pay a fortune for a movie on BD or HD-DVD
just so I can see the lead actors nose hairs
Another thing is that old movies (pre BD)
aren't encoded at a high enough resolution
and certain studios are only supporting one of the formats

Blu-Ray is WAY overrated

Well, if I could afford to buy a 1080p TV, then the cost of a PS3 is peanuts
but I'm a student right now and not a member of that 2% minority
(the 1080p HD crew)

250 US for a brand new console sounds like a steal


Not to mention the way they are explaining the joysticks it just sounds like a new revolutionary way to play video games. This hasn't happened since the first 8 bit nintendo (yes the control pad on nintendo was very foreign to when it first came out )

Nothing will compare to the control for the Wii

Personally I cant wait (only 2 months left)

My personal favorite game right now is NBA 2k6. It's more realistic than live and IMO has a better franchise mode. NBA 2k7 looks really good in some of the review clips ive seen.

apparently the only knock on the wii is the graphics but who cares if you have superior gameplay i say.

Imagine playing baseball and actually swinging the remote when up to bat.

Great angle for the nintendo folks.

You may very well be right. Blu-Ray is in it's early stages, and it very well may flounder.

But then again, it might not (they said the same things about CD's and DVD's wink.gif ).

That is why I think it's absolutely perfect to be able to have a Blu-Ray player attached my shiny new PS3. If the whole Blu-Ray thing flounders, I still have my PS3.

It's very low-risk compared to going out and buying an actual $1000 Blu-Ray DVD player. That kinda' sets it apart from your Betamax example; they never had Betamax players attached to Colecovision consoles. tongue.gif

I'm looking forward to it so much....graphics aren't a problem for me as long as they're decent, and the I prefer gameplay anyway. And with a launch price like that...why wouldn't I get one.

The problem with that rationale, is that many developers are backing down
fron supporting PS3 at launch because of insanely high development costs
They want to wait and see how it does before supporting it
As a matter of fact, SNK (a developer) said yeaterday that they would most likely
NOT make any games for PS3 until 2009-2010
3rd party support backing away is not a good sign for a game console.

1080p TVs are very rare. And they are the only ones (as far as I know)
taht take advantage of the HDMI interface
The majority of people who own HDTVs have 720p or 1080i capable sets.
The North American market is currently at 12% HDTV (720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p)
But other markets such as Europe and Asia are much lower

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Its not safe to say that really. Really not save. I mean if you look at the franchise in the Playstation you got Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, then Final Fantasy 13, Gran Turismo 4. If you dont like none of these games it dont matter cuz the fact is that these 4 series are HUGE for the gamerz.

Dont worry. I like all consoles, its just not safe to say which consoles are better cuz you can start a war and it wil be pointless. For Wii theres this cool drum game that I really like to try. I really hope it responds real quick cuz I play fast. And I hope for a double bass kick on that game too.. Wii is cool to try. I would like to try personally. I like Xbox 360 also. They got their own independent game also.

But the impression from Nintendo I see. The only bad thing is that their games are pretty childish. And their main themes really are for kids. The "majority", it is. But that doesnt effect me a lot. I just hope to see them open their closet a lil.

As for PS3. $600 is a lot. But it doesnt hurt to wait to go down. The first Playstation was like $300. People bought it anyways and it killed the other consoles at that time.
DVS
What the matter you can't route for the underdog once in a while. You have to give nintendo a hand for the fact they are at least being innovative. XBOX and PS weren't always on top. There was a time when other consoles like Sega Genesis and NES totally ruled the gaming market and they fell hard at one time.

Wii Has a chance to be a revolutionary system or just be talked about as a system that maybe was just ahead of its time.

We see

Wow after reading the details of this console, it doesn't sound that bad and with the price of PS3 thats suppose to come out, this seems like a bargain. They only problem i have with nintendo is they usually revolve around disney or anime games glare.gif , but as long as they carry out NBA Live or whatever, sign me up smile.gif

Misconceptions...
You guys have to try playing
Resident Evil 4
Eternal Darkness
Killer 7
(just to name a few, all rated M)

People always seem to forget that the PS2 had
Barbie games
Olsen Twins game
Bratz : Rock Angelz
Britney's Dance Beat

So who is kiddie now?
People have to realize that if a game is fun, who cares about anything else?

That's a very good point. 3rd party support backing away is definitely not a good sign. But we are talking about a Playstation here. smile.gif If the PS3 takes off like expected, people at SNK are going to fired big time for keeping the company out of the market for 3 years and missing out on $millions.

Honestly, I am surprised of the skepticism and knee-jerking towards the giant stalwart that is the Playstation line. But hey, we'll have to wait and see. Either some people are going to look like geniuses for doubting early, or those some people are going to lose their jobs. smile.gif

I am aware 1080p TV's are rare at this point. Most 'true' 1080p sets are only coming out this fall. As with everything, new technology takes time to saturate into the market, but it is still inevitable.

I recently went to take a look at the new 1080p's, and the model I wanted wasn't in yet. The salesguy put me on a list with 12 other people he has to call when they come in. smile.gif

Sony was actually supposed to be designing the disk part of the gamecube, but they were trying to hold onto to some part (cant remember this part exactly) so nintendo went in discussion with phillips behind sonys back, then decided to go with philips. Sony then decided now was a good time to enter the entire market with a whole new console (they were peved for getting dumped, cuz they started making the parts already)

Sony and Nintendo announce plans for Sony to develop a $700 CD player to work with the SNES.

QUOTE
Sony and Nintendo abandon their joint CD peripheral, which Sony had reputedly completed in prototype form. Rumors surface indicating that Sony lawyers had skillfully crafted an agreement that allowed Sony to reap publishing profits from SNES/Super Famicom CD-based games, profits Nintendo sought to retain. Nintendo announces plans to work with Philips to create a CD-ROM compatible with the Philips CD-i. Sony, disgusted, finishes work on a number of SNES games, scraps the old "PlayStation" developed for Nintendo, and sets its engineers to work on developing a 32-bit CD-only game machine to unseat Nintendo in Japan and the United States.

sort supplies, high demand, they arent going to be able to produce enough.

Microsoft said that they weren't going to drop the price.

PS3 has already had problems,
the first 30,000 made were defective and had to be scrapped
