Maybe it's because you can plug a mouse and keyboard into a PS3?


Naww... that can't be it.

YAY MORE POINTLESS PC/MOUSEKEYBOARD VS CONSOLE/CONTROLLER WARS!!!!1111

IIRC Grooves prefers Controllers to Mouse/Keyboard. I did too with Halo PC, I connected my Xbox controller to play that. I liked CoD4 better on the 360 than the PC. It's all a matter of preference

Right, and as much as I love FPS games, I refuse to shell out $3,000 a year upgrading my computer for all these system hogging games. None of them run on a conventional computer these days, everything has to be a high powered gaming rig. Trust me, I been working in this business full time for 3 years now. Also, I don't consider my self a hard core gamer enough to justify spending my condo money on a high end gaming rig. I have adapted to console based FPS games just fine. And please let this conversation die a horrible death before it becomes another console vs PC argument again. That debate is so 2002 dude...

Also, all you who have a 360, you are going to LOVE UT3. All you old school swampies who used to play Unreal 2004 in onslaught mode with me know what the hell I am talking about. Warfare mode is where it's at! Once this hits 360, that is probably all I will be playing, since I am an achievement/MP whore. I have already recruited most of my employees into purchasing it.

[BongoBob]

Once it comes out hopefully we'll be able to relive the few but awesome moments of UC2: The Liandri Confilct

Pfft, more like $300-500 if you upgrade.

Is it just me or does that guitar look a little too big? The neck looks right but the head and body look huge.

You're not concerned that it is made of disco ball?

ARIIIIGHT





Finally saved up enough cash to get it. Textbook prices are ****in' ridiculous these days. Next on my list: The Orange Box, Bioshock, and COD4.

[TiE23]

Oh God please tell me you didn't actually get the core edition. Oh please God have mercy on this one's soul for not waiting a little longer to get enough money for the hard drive which would make his experience so much more rewarding.

So goodbye to DLC, TV, trailers, XBL Arcade, Demos, and everything else that's cool.

[RoxStar]

You could get a core and a used hard drive for cheaper than a Pro system.


Elitist, much?

Yes


Arcade 360 $280 + Refurbished HDD $60 = $340 + 256mb Memory Card + 5 Arcade games

+$10 and you get a Headset, Component Cables, Ethernet cable, Snazzy Chrome disc drive, 2 Free full games

Seems to be more work than it's worth. The memory card will be pretty much useless after he gets the HDD.

: P

[RoxStar]

It doesn't come with a memory card. If someone didn't have an HDTV and didn't care about a headset, it's a reasonable choice.

EDIT: Back in my day, alls we got with our pro system was a lousy console!

So maybe it doesn't make much sense anymore with the free games. But still, it's like it's a stupid decision.

[TiE23]

Problem is that I'm one of those people who will kick anyone who doesn't have a microphone in Rock Band quick bands. I mean, they're is nothing worse than getting 98% and having no one to celebrate with.

"Hey guys, what songs? ... Anything? ... Alright, I'll just choose Train Kept a Rollin, hope you like that, drummer guy."

And ehh, I never thought I'd get an HDTV, but I did. I remember once contemplating cutting off the component piece so I couldn't have to tie it in a knot to keep it tidy.

And yeah, I gots nothings but a lousy console, too. Don't go pulling that.

:V

*But it's general consensus, it's a faux pas to buy a HD-less 360.*

[BongoBob]

That's me and friends celebrating me hitting level 70 in WoW. We all bought tons and tons of booze and got items that turned us into either ninjas or pirates, and after dancing around in the middle of the main horde town Orgrimmar, we went to the throneroom of the leader of the Horde, thrall, and partied there.

Good times

[Pho3nix]

You forgot the extra 'm' on Orgrimmar.

Anyway, grats, I'll be dinging 70 with my alt soon

[Jeff]

Nice Bob, congrats! I should have mine at 70 within a couple weeks if I can keep up this pace, I'm 61 right now.

[TiE23]

I got this:


Used for $25

Fun game so far. It plays like an isometric 3D version of Soldat. Lot of fun, great graphics for a hand held, even has freaking ragdoll and damage physics!

Yeah I decided I didn't really want all that stuff.

That almost makes me want to start playing WoW.



Almost. ;p

Great news everyone! My truck that got wrecked in an accident is getting fixed!

I had that game, and I could not get into it. I am however currently playing Killzone, the PS2 version on my PS3. Pretty intense so far! And I have seen Killzone 2 in action at the manager's conference in Vegas, and it is oh so glorious , total FPS bliss!

I like it so far. It's a little frustrating in some parts, and it'd be real nice to have two weapons instead of just one. But the graphics and detail are pretty amazing for a handheld game, it's like a hack and slash with guns. I played Killzone a little bit on my own PS2... I really didn't like it. It had cool ideas and stuff, but it just felt really dry and generic, and the muddy textures, cruddy controls, and frame rate really killed it for me.

Also, after waiting two weeks for it to deliver just a few hundred miles, LocoRoco finally arrived.

[Darth Groovy]

Loco Roco is the **** though! I got that one free from Sony about two years ago, and I love it. Try playing that one, and NOT turning your PSP when they roll from one side to the other. It will make you laugh your ass off.

[Anthony]

and CoD4
and live.

my gamertag is DasFunkwagen if anyone wants to add me.

[TiE23]

Nice... confusing that you have a rig that can run Crysis no sweat, but you get CoD4 for the 360... Ah well, nice of you to come aboard.

$20

I got the 360 version so I could play with a bunch of friends from school hehe.

Next game I'm getting is def. dead rising.

I know you were a Neverwinter Nights freak, so you should look into getting Mass Effect, it's a good experience.

I've been playing way too much Assassin's Creed - I'm on my way to getting 1000/1000 achievement points. I've collected every flag (all 320) and killed every one of the 60 Templars. I basically had this game at 100%, but I had to start replaying the entire game so I can get "The Conversationalist" achievement.

I basically got a snow day. I have my biggest paycheck ever at $161.46 in a week. And err... I succumbed to nerdy tempations and ordered the 12" PVC collectible Altair figure.

[Anthony]

I recently purchased Assassins creed as well, love it. and of course, got dead rising.

I never get tired of endlessly beating the (living?) **** out of hordes of zombies

Should you ever get tired of beating the fecal matter out of hordes of zombies, you can always bash run them over. You never have to worry about using up all the fun too quickly, as they always come back to the tunnels.

But see, that's the thing. They always come back. There's no stopping the swarm, it's, it's madness!

ahaha I've heard of a parking garage where one of my friends killed I think 13000 zombies in a matter of a few minutes. By running them over with a car...

I havent got there yet :O

Have not been buying too much, but I did pick up one new game this past week:



I never been big on Racing Games, but the Burnout franchise falls into the so fun it's stupid category of gaming bliss. This one, you can just drive around a full blown open world city, and just do whatever the hell you want. Kind of like GTA without leaving the vehicle or third person shooting stuff. When you want repairs, you drive to a garage, when you run low on fuel, you drive to a gas station. When you run out of money, you drive to a key location, and do one of the events. It's a great deal of fun, and a milestone for the franchise.

[Pie™]

Festival passes to Inferno and Wacken.






Also I'm seeing the Cure and 65daysofstatic in 1 1/2 week.

Sweet, nice to see a fellow Bowie fan. Along with those 2 new ones, I have "David Bowie", Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and Best of Bowie. Don't have Outside, thanks for the recommendation.

[TiE23]

Fun so far. But it's getting a little crowded in my world in around 300AD, don't know when war is gonna break out. My first game, playing as the Arabians with my cities Mecca, Masyaf, and Mesimna. But sucks, Masyaf is getting crowded, whats going on? : P


Altair looks sweet, too.

[Rogue Nine]

You probably have a lot of Food resources around the city, which helps with population growth. Improvements like farms and roads help with that.

Yeah I know, for example I've got a 6 food (loaf and a slice) square, but I'm just wondering how I can relieve overcrowding. I've got an aqueduct to fight off sickness and all, but most of my unhappiness comes from "It's too crowded."
