Do you guys like Video Games? I have a PS2 and have been having a lot of fun playing the new Two Towers game. I have a N64 and NES too with lots of games. I was thinking about picking up Bounty Hunter for the PS2 as well since it is a Star Wars game afterall.
-
I used to play video games long ago. I started with the old hand helds then I bought a Nintendo. After that I bought a NES & Sega CD. Man the nights my friend & I played games. Start at 6pm & finish when the sun came up. Loads of fun. Still got them & my TRS80. :o
-
I have been getting back into games. I recently picked up an Xbox and have been very pleased with it. Although I am getting a calus on my thumb ;D
I have most of the SW games for it and I like them all so far.
I grew up with Atari 2600 so the new systems are simply amazing to me.
-
Yo I play video games. Mainly FPS on the computer though, over the internet... I like the interaction... I have the TWO TOWERS game for the game cube. It is really cool. I am stuck in the damn faghorn forest right now with the troll. Any suggestions on how to beat it?
-
That is farther than I am Depmode...let me know how when I get there
-
Yep, I'm a gamer here though I haven't played any lately since finishing The Getaway for PS2. I currently have a Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, Playstation, PS2 and an XBox. And several games, some of which I have yet to even play. ::) One of these days...
-
I've been playing a ton of Tiger Woods 2003 for ye olde PS2 lately. I love this game and the courses and game play is amazing. I am more of a Sports guy when it comes to gaming (especially Madden) I've been jonesin to pick up the TTT game though. It looks sweet.
I also got a Logitech wireless controller last week which is nice but not as nice as the Sony wired models...
-

Grand Theft Auto Vice City

Over the last few days HALO has me hooked. I like the first person type games, can't wait till Ghost Recon arrives.
-
Well I got LOTR:TTT and it is an awesome game, the medling of Movie and Game footage is really awesome. I beat Fangorn Forest last night with Aragorn. Great graphics, not terribly difficult and excellent use of the LOTR score make this an OCB 9 Kissies out of 10
:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*
-
I used to, but not much anymore. Job, outdoor interests, kid, wife - all take up time (all good too).
Oh the glory days of playing. Pong was so cool. And then it got upgraded so you could actually play doubles. Sure, it was a bit tricky hooking wires up to the back of the TV and maybe you got a little electrocuted. Had a bit of an effect on the screen too, but wasn't so noticeable cuz everything was black and white...
Uh, whoops. Excuse me.
More recently, various versions of Links (LS, 2001) which actually proved helpful in learning how to read greens. Aa few SW games, but older stuff, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter and others. Nothing too new.
Have super nintendo. Wife plays Mario games but I don't use it much. Have the SW version, so do occasional pod racing, but my old eyes get too burned by looking at those graphics (crappy, IMO). Perfect Dark is a hoot, but I only play it when my nephew is in town, so twice a year. but those nights are great. Much beer and bad food, lots of blood and guts.
-
I knew Brent would bring up Pong :-*
I just picked up Grand Theft Auto III for the low low price of $15 at Best Buy. It is now one of PS2's greatest hits...haven't played it yet but I had to pick it up to see what all the fuss was about. Still waiting to pick up Bounty Hunter as well...I'll wait for a price drop
I also really want to get a Gamecube. There are a ton of good deals out there now including buy a GC and get Zelda or Metroid for free, I want to wait for the price drop though if it comes (anyone heard anything?)
-
I'm also waiting for the price drop on BountyHunter... I've played Splinter Cell lately, its nothing all that special unless your big into the stealth, sneaking around with a single clip of ammo in a crappy .22'ish pistol.
I've gotten to probably the third level and I've just lost interest, to be honest... I still think Hitman2 is the best shooter on the PS2, with GTA:VC taking the title for best game.
Actually, I'm pretty excited to see BH drop down to the $30 tag, but I doubt it will... Racer Revenge is still at 40 something, last I checked. :'(
-
I bought an X Box back in January and I waste a couple of nights a week playing games. I bought Simpsons Road Rage a few weeks ago and have been playing it quite a bit. I also like Medal of Honor.

I rented Splinter Cell about a month ago, and it was great at first. It has excellent video & sound quality, flows well, and has a good story. Unfortunately I can't stand being in stealth mode the ENTIRE time. I'm more of the type to walk into a room with a machine gun, and just level everyone in a matter of seconds.
That's why I liked Bounty Hunter so much. Constantly kicking major butt in the game. Who used those poisonous darts? Definitely not me. Flame thrower was my favorite weapon of choice.
-
I was never really able to remember to switch weapons, all I did was tap the damn buttons on the blasters, and on occasion, switch to flamer to roast those zombie things...
Anyway, speakings of Medal Of Honor... For all of us who loved Frontline on PS2, it's just come out that a second MOH is soon to come to PS2... This one is 'Rising Sun', Pacific Theatre.
For a couple of images of the game, check out this (http://www.gamespy.com/previews/march03/mohrisingsun/screenshots.shtml)!

Scott, E3 is coming at the end of this week, and there are a bunch of rumors floating around that all three consoles will see price drops. The GameCube is rumored to be dropping to $99, and the XBox and the PS2 are rumored to be dropping to $149.
If these drops are going to happen, expect an announcement sometime in the next few days.
That said, though, Wal-Mart has a great GameCube bundle right now:
Indigo GameCube
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time / Master Quest
Nintendo GameCube / Game Boy Advance cable
All for $150. Of course, if the drops happen, and Wal-Mart drops that bundle, too, then all that for $100 is even better--and a steal.
Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike and Mario Kart: Double Dash, both coming later this year, will be reason enough to buy a 'Cube. . .
-
Does anyone know when the Gamecube is going to drop to $99??? I'll definitely pick up one strictly for the Star Wars "Gamecube-exclusive" games. Yeah baby!
-
OMG, new Mario Kart! Now my wife will actually be happy when I buy one. She misses our battles on the N64...we used to spend Friday nights drinking some beer and playing Mario Kart or Mario Party...
I'll print this page off to her as a testament!

I loved MOH Frontline, and I cannot wait for the Pacific Theatre to come out. I think it's the best WWII shooter game ever made!

Dustrho, read the post I made directly above yours for (rumored) GameCube pricedrop info.

Print this stuff instead: :)

From 4/23:
First look: Mario Kart: Double Dash
Nintendo releases the first gameplay information on its long-awaited GameCube racing game. First screens inside.
Nintendo has today released the first gameplay information on the GameCube version of Mario Kart via its official E3 Web site. The game will boast a number of new features, the most obvious and intriguing of which is that each kart is manned not only by a driver, whose attributes will affect the handling of the kart, but also by a second character that will be responsible for handling power-up items and weapons. In addition to six regular items that are available no matter which character is riding shotgun, each character will have access to a further eight items that are specific to them. Players will be able to have their two characters switch seats on the fly, which could make for some quite tactical racing since every change will alter both the handling of the kart and the items available.
Also, according to a report in the latest issue of Famitsu, a number of Nintendo characters that haven't previously appeared in Mario Kart games will also be making up the numbers on the starting grid. The 16 characters confirmed for inclusion in Mario Kart to date are as follows:
Baby Luigi
Baby Mario
Birdo
Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Daisy
Diddy Kong
Donkey Kong
Koopa Paratroopa
Koopa Troopa
Luigi
Mario
Peach
Wario
Waluigi
Yoshi
Famitsu's report also hints at support for up to eight players using two GameCube consoles, although no more specific details are available at this time. We'll bring you more information on the GameCube version of Mario Kart when we report live from E3 in LA next month.

Yep that will do the trick :-*
GC here I come (maybe next week!)
-
Gamecube's been one of the best investments I ever made... Well my ex got it for me for X-Mas the year it was released, but that's beside the point.
LOTS of great games, ports of great games from other systems as well, and more exclusives that you WON'T see ported to PC than any other system...
Eternal Darkness, the Resident Evil series, and Rogue Leader have already made the system worth it to me... The games like Splinter Cell, and other Tom Clancy games have put it above and beyond... Clone Wars, Bounty Hunter, and Rogue Squadron 3 will likely make it worth its weight in gold to me. :D
I hgihly recommend getting one, even if it doesn't drop in price.
-
The greatest week gamers is here, E3 where cool new games are debuted!
I was checking ot IGN's preview and there is really cool stuff coming including the Mario Kart stuff Virex showed
http://games.ign.com/e3.html
Sounds like Sony is going the way of the Gameboy and will come out with a Handheld
I also like the look of the new He-Man game and was really stoked about the return of Mega Man X7 which will feature 2D and 3D action...those are some of the greatest games EVER!
-
I also am highly stoked for the new LOTR:ROTK game
(http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/returnoftheking_050803_inline_01.jpg)

That looks sweet! :o
-
I think the X Play show on Tech TV is going to do some shows from there showing all the new games coming out. Seems like it will be the week after but you can check their site on Tech Tv's site for more info.

As a huge fan of the original Ghost and Goblins and being really amazed by the original Maximo for PS2, Maximo 2 is going to be a must buy for me:

-
The first Syphon Filter for PS2 looks good too:
(http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/syphonFilterOmega_050603_02.jpg)
-
The new Medal of Honor: Rising Sun looks amazing as well. The first MOH set in the Pacific theater should be awesome. I own all the MOH for PS and PS2 and this one looks to be no different.
Spy Hunter 2 also looks like a good one.
-
Grand Turismo 4 looks very nice, here is a MMX7 shot
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/5-03/megaman.jpg)
-
Newest game coming out is a LucasArts non-Star Wars game, this one is called 'Secret Weapons Over Normandy', it's a WW2 flight-combat game... Very awesome looking. If you're any bit a fan of Medal of Honor or any flight games... Go to LucasArts and hit GAMES then go to 'Secret Weapons Over Normandy'... Since not too many of you guys can play the movies, lemme put it like this... I noticed the Me109, 262, Zero, B17, P51, P38, Dauntless, and many more apparent playable games... Definately worth a look.
XBox, PC, and PS2 only!
-
Dude at TRU told me the PS2 went down $30 today, expect XBox to follow at $30 and Gamecube to drop around $20. That makes most of those GC bundles at $130 total...too good to pass up!
-
I'm still going to wait to hopefully see that Gamecube go down to $99, and then I'll also be buying Rogue Squadron 2 and then 3 (when it comes out).
-
GC is $99 right now for the most part, I saw a bundle at TRU today of a GC, one controller and Zelda, Mario or Metroid for $150...can't beat it really, unless it goes $20-$30 cheaper
-
I'm going to merge this E3 thread with the video game one!
-
I'd like to know where the TRU guy got his info. Are those prices just a sale they will be running? Reason I ask, I've been looking around the various gaming sites and forums looking for info on these rumored price drops and all I've read that seems to be confirmed so far is a $20 price drop for the Xbox and PS2 and the PS2 is only temporariy at that. The price will go back up to $200 in June when they start shipping the units that include the network adapter with it.
I've read nothing on any price drop of the GC yet which kind of irks me as I'd like to get one now after seeing and reading more on Rebel Strike. Though I guess $150 for the GC and the new Zelda game is still a good deal since you're basically paying $100 for the system then.
-
ebgames has the price drop for XBox and PS2
http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/default.asp
-
The prices are already in effect in stores too. I hit a TRU and Target at lunch and both those systems were already marked down to $179.99. GC was still at $149.99 however. :(
-
Yeah, that is what TRU dude told me yesterday afternoon where they had just lowered the price.
Searching google news I only came accross this bit of news

Cool new games, plus reduced prices, I may go get an X-box and GC!
