I haven't played it but one of my best friends has it. It has like a guitar you plug into your system right? (Ps2 right?).

Yep. Its coming out for XBox360 in the Spring. I guess Wii will follow suit as well eventually.

lmao i hav no idea whats going on

Lmao, for a guy who spends so much time on the internet and tech forums, im surprised you dont know what QWERTY is. There are two types of keyboards, QWERTY and DVORAK. Its called QWERTY because the first six letter lines of your keyboard is QWERTY.

I know about "the first six letter lines of your keyboard is QWERTY"

I just found it funny cuz on msn I usually use it on random people and they go berserk.

in my opinion nintendo makes the best consoles for "gaming" purposes. now having said that i cannot afford nor do i want to by the wii, but i did go and shell out for the new Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess. this game i absolutley addictive. for those of you that still have a gamecube, they made a version for it, which i am playing. i am 40+ hours in to the gameplay and i don't think that i am even half way through, luckily i have some time off right now. for those nes purists out there this game is top-notch!! and i would recommend it on either system. go cop this one!

any1 play nba 2k7 online?

if you do post your GT

Yup I got a Wii for christmas and that game is absolutely fantastic. I'm a Zelda fan as well and they did this game in classic style and took everythign to a whole new level. The darker image of the game was great. However it's nice to have to use the wii-most to aim with your weapons, the bow is soo much better that way.

u havent played it.


i say you should definitely get nba 2k7. and if/when you do,you can play online. if/when you decide to play nba 2k7 online tell me ur gamertag

EDIT:and the poll should have an option 'none'... i doubt of the 53 of you that voted half will buy. and 10 that voted buy all 3......are obviosuly lying

ya i don't doubt that this game is much better on the wii, for playability anyway. i still haven't gotten my hands on a wii to try it out. i was just excited that they even made a game for the gamecube still.

Showing off your hardware specs on a basketball forum is not cool

dude my comp isnt that great

NHL and NBA Live Series, and games like GTA San Andreas and Scarface

LOL if 512 mb graphics card and 2gb RAM isn't that great than my computer should be in the garbage bin by now.

i know i have a habit of coming into this thread and raving about certain 360 games that ive played...well its time to turn the table
yesterday i rented Civil War..a first person shooter .. i literally put it down and returned it in a couple of hrs
the absolute best i can give this game is.....mediocore
the AI in this game is horrible - graphics and sound are subpar
do yourselves a favour and stay away from this one
here's a review just in case you need a second opinion....

link

ROFL...

You don't know QWERTY!?!

Look at the upper left hand corner of your keyboard (the letters)
and tell me what it spells...

You'r next assignment is to tell me what Dvorak means

I always wanted someone to make a civil war shooting game. Too bad they blew it. I hope some good developers revisit and create a good game for a change. I'm getting kinda tired of WWII right about now.

I have the 6600 series it still lags with FEAR. It dont matter if you have a lot of memory when your series is low.

This card is okay for now plays perfect on 2005 games. And mostly the early 2006 games but not the later ones.

Crysis (PC)









http://www.crytek.com/screenshots/index.ph...ver_compare.jpg

That Crysis game looks crazy good. I thought some of the second pictures looked better than the original. Wow. When does this game come out?

It's scheduled for mid-2007 IIRC,
It started out as a demo for the new PPUs that are coming out.

Thats only the graphics part. You should check out their realism on physics.

Thats what a PPU is...
a Physics Processing Unit.

A GPU is a Graphics Processing Unit.

Oh god, don't tell me you need to add more to your comp now. Man buying a console is so much smarter these days...

srry i was talkin to scully, I forgot to quote.

I can deal with a console and a PC. I know its pain in the butt upgrading your PC every month or year (which I dont, after a year I usually upgrade) but its worth it. I mean if I was gettin only Wii, there was no way Wii games could cover a game like Crysis. So I hav a PC beside me incase you know?

Ya, and right beside my computer I have my lottery ticket too just in case you know .

Hey, if you can do it, go nuts, but everything is costing more and more, and there is no way you can upgrade the PC at the same rate with these higher prices.

Because of the niche market aspect,
I can see PPU's being built into Graphics Boards (or even onboard the GPU)

They could sell them as "gaming" accelerators.

Scully, don't worry too much,
I doubt many games will require PPUs,
They will just add realism to the environments.

I dont think so either. There is a physic video card out there though but I dont see why you really need it. It was especially designed for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, but other than that no other games needed that type of thing.

Half Life 2 owned without it so why not.



To my surprise, video cards prices can go down pretty quick. I can get a decent one right now for an ordinary price of a video card which is around $200. DirectX 10 cards just came out, so I'll just wait for it to go there.

It costs me only around $800 just to upgrade everything, including the motherboard etc. But I only do that like every other 2-3 years plus my motherboard is still okay and its been here for about 4 years.

So right now, its just a matter of having a new processor and a new video card. Thats pretty much it for me. But I ain't planning to upgrade my comp yet since I barely have time to play games now a days.

I have a pretty stupid question about Madden 07 for the 360:

I've noticed that no matter what I do, I cannot stop the CPU's running game on All-Madden difficulty. It doesnt matter who is running it, they bust through my D-line and go for about 50, if not a TD (it's more than frustrating). Now is it just me or does the CPU got mad skills when it comes to the running game?

Without playing Madden, I'm pretty sure it's cuz your playing All-Madden difficulty that they are so good.

Does anyone here still play NBA LIVE 06 I'm a bit out of date but oh well.
Also will EA make an NBA LIVE 08 game for the PS2 or will they just go on to the Playstation 3?

It will be crap on PS2 for sure.

What do you mean.....

Possibly that the efforts in development will likely be concentrated on the PS3 and XBox360, with less attention to the now obsolete PS2.

It should be obvious.... or else I just feel sorry for you mate.

Cheers

have'nt been in here for awhile so i thought i'd give an update as to what i've been playing lately

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

i would'nt say this was a great game but i did have alot of fun playing it...pretty much a standard First person shooter - the game itself was far too short imo but the muliplayer is excellent
one thing i really did like was the fact that there were alot of "bosses" in this game....some really huge bugs
the bad part for me was ( and yes i'm getting picky here ) the fact that the screen would bother my eyes after awhile..there is alot of white in this game ( snow ) and i found it a bit boring to look at
here's a link for everyone

link

I own a PS2, Wii, DS and an Xbox 360. Love'em all.

I'm a huge RPG fan. Of all the rpg's I've played since the SNES days, I have yet to experience a game that was on the same level of FFVI, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana.

Although, the new Zelda game on the Wii was pretty fun.

I dunno, I like 2D games, they should make more 2D games...

What's strange is that, even though I'm a huge basketball fan, I prefer playing a hockey video game instead of a basketball video game...

Why do you need a new game?
Get Final Fantasy VI Advance and play it on your DS!

if you have'nt played it yet , you absolutely MUST check out "The Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion" for the 360

link

You know what? I think I will!

Its come out for PS3 also

lol

Ya but that isn't on his list of system he owns...

cool....anyone who has the PS3...make sure you check this game out

Or the PC, that's where I played it. I tend to think these games are great in their magnitude, but it seems that they are following too many rules for dungeon and dragons and are not advancing the GAME as much as they are the graphics. I think the same thing about Neverwinter Nights 2 as well, it's got so much stuff that just doesn't make sense to someone who is not a super DD freak. More games need to follow the 'Fable' lead and move the genre on to better things. Mass Effect will take it to such a place that anybody still following these types of games will be completely left behind. An Xbox 360 will be in my hands when this game comes out even if I have to steal and play as much as I can before I'm arrested (clearly not doing any of this), but this is the next great RPG without a doubt, and something to look forward to for gaming.

Size is great, but you need to know how to use it to make it worthwhile, otherwise it is just a waste. At least, that's what my ex-GF told me (in case you didn't notice, I took the size side of the joke, because you can learn how to use it, but you can't learn size).

after reading this i could'nt help myself...i had to investigate
i've heard rumours about this game....one is that it is in fact part 1 of a trilogy..which i have since found out is true
looked around at different sites for info.and i must say im completely amazed at what ive seen and read - if this lives up to its potential...it will truly be epic
the graphics that ive seen are simply mind boggling
btw Scully.......rumours have it that the game will be coming out in May

here is a link to the official website...and i also urge everyone to look around at different sites as well for previews..they all say the same....this game will be awesome....and its only on xbox 360

link

I could have told you all of that, I can also tell you that there is a combination of attacks and powers with your team that is terrific, where you can tell people to go to a certain place, and do a certain thing (like hide behind this thing and use supresive fire). You have a certain amount of powers, and also have a weapon at all times which you can mod with different things to make them more powerful. You travel around the galaxy in a space ship that you own that has a crew and all. And yes right now the game is scheduled for May, and is much closer to true than any other dates that were set so far, and I think it may be true, but I do not know for sure yet.

Watch this video to see a big portion of what the game is all about:

http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox-360-hi...Walkthrough-HD/

And you can read some more hands on previews on that site if you are interested.

Anyone like Tactical Shooters? I've been playing the demo for Ranbow Six: Vegas over and over again (I will be getting the full version in the mail in a day or two). I'm hooked.

This game is solid. You can take cover behind any solid object, and you are taken into 3rd-person perspective seamlessly. The only thing it lacks, as far as gameplay goes, is the ability to move from cover to cover like in Gears of War.

Mission maps are open, in that there are multiple entry ways. You can stack your team on one door, and order them to breach while you sneak in another door. You can use your fibre optic snake cam to spot and tag enemies behind doors. You can repel down the side of a building with your team, and all crash through the window at the same time. Or you can hang upside down and shoot down enemies from outside the window with your pistol before you even know they are there.

Solid game.

^agreed...very solid game...had a chance to play a while back...i've found that any "Clancy " game is well done ...if you have'nt tried any other Clancy games may i suggest "Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter"...this is an excellent game Cap't....very complex with a fairly high learning curve...but once you get the hang of it i know you'll enjoy

Nice timing, we just start talking about it, then they do an interview.

Quite literally just done, read this interview about the upcoming RPG of the decade Mass Effect

EDIT: This is only part 1 of the interview, the second part will be posted on Monday.

thanks for the link Scully
considering that most games nowadays are averaging about 9 hrs.....this will be enormous with 40 hrs of main story...but the best part is the 20 or 30 hrs ( on top of the 40 ) of exploring different worlds at you own leisure - incredible!!!
lets hope this is out in May as some have predicted...going to start saving my pennies now because this is one i will buy outright
