The way you write this strikes me as odd. You talk about the days when you would play MW2 like it was years and years ago, and that now days things have changed so much. Your friend isn't into gaming, that is clear. People who play games still have a bit of a stigma to those who don't...

Ico?

Yeah, I'm in for Immortality. Ok, this planet would eventually die, but check the technology curve... we will at the very least be capable of creating a ship that could survive inter-galatic travel. And once they can make them reliable enough I would step up and tell them.. hey guys, put me on...

Another note on the 360 controler, you will ned to pick up the 360 PC receiver if you are using a wireless controler. They run $20 and are well worth it. I use a 360 controler and wireless headset for my PC. You can configure the controler in the control panel, look for the controler setter...

I am in the same boat. I have stopped with day 1 purchases unless I know it is absolutely 100% something I am going to play a lot as soon as I get it. StarCraft 2 will be a close-to-day-1 (I'll probably pick it up today) and I think Bioshock 2 was the last one. Other then that I usually wait...

Step 1: Go download steam (www.steampowered.com) Step 2: take the $50 you would have spent and any other single PC game and go to town in the $5 and below section on steam. Step 3: Remember to bathe and eat occasionally.

Grenade Mongoose Shame there are so many repeats.

This is GREAT news for me. I recently decided to abandon cable TV. Between Netflix, Hulu, and the like, there was nothing I needed that warrented a $70 a month bill. Nothing except sports. I has simply accepted that I would have to go to the local bar to watch games, and my deep frier would...

Part of the ritual of playing a game for the first time is to watch the whole intro movie. I will skip it on future plays though. Star Control 2 had a great intro movie if I recall, as did Wing Comander 3. Recently, Mass Effect 2 had a great intro movie, even though I didn't play the...

When you say rail shooter, you mean with a light gun right? If so, sounds like Mad Dog Mcree.

That second one sounds like Primal Rage. But it could have been a Godzilla game too. Was the first one like a platformer or was it top down?

Little Big Planet 2. there are already 2 million plus levels for it, and with the expanded options for the sequal, it looks like it can be almost any game you want it to be. Floaty physics aside, I always find I burn a few hours every time I play it.

PS3 is used mostly for exclusives, or for the games which I find on some kind of discount for the PS3. I found that Mirrors Edge felt a little better with the PS3 controler. Otherwise I get things on the 360. I have more friends with 360 so it makes for easier on-line gaming, or if I want...

The boss fights in the first God of War were pretty noteworthy. By the second and thrid game theye were expected, but in the first game, the first time you face the Hydra or the Minotaur, I know I was taken aback. Oh, and I don't know if anyone remembers X-Men on the Sega Genesis. But the...

Star Control 2 on the 3DO God I loved that game.
