antacost Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well... I bought Paradise... Wen't to BestBuy to get Torchwood season 1, and "just went and looked" at the games. To my shock, they had two copies of Burnout Paradise for the PS3 (tons for the 360, though), so I had to get it... Holy Gods! That's all I can say. I knew that what we were getting in the demo was just a small sample of the whole city, but I was totally shocked by just how massive this thing is.... I spent two hours last night just driving around... Logged around 100 miles, and I know there's still around 150 miles left to see... Go get this game!

karamazov80 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I just saw the IGN video review for Burnout Paradise. You know what would probably make that game better? If you could shoot different types of turtle shells at other cars. If somebody made a racing game like that, I would probably buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 For all you Xbox Live users, you can download Undertow for a limited time. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/u/undertowxboxlivearcade/ Supposedly it's a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I was actually disappointed to hear that you got rid of Halo there Neo... But the reason why might surprise you. No offense intended to other people I've played with online, but I really enjoyed playing with you and Ady more than anyone else I've played with on the boards. Ady's barely played in months and sadly I only played with you for a (VERY) short time. I guess I'm just saying I'm sad that the only game (to my knowledge) that we both have now is Worms, which neither of us play. Oh well, maybe I'll see you online in something down the road.

neolego Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Dude......you're gonna make me cry...... We'll just have to make Worms a priority, it is still one of my top 5 favorite games on the 360, just haven't played much since Call of Duty 4. Next time your one Nestle, we'll play some Worm Killing Action and relive the glory days . And, to make you feel better, I didn't get rid of Halo. I was just about too, but then I found out that Burnout didn't have 2-player Splitscreen action, so I'm going to hold my purchase until it's a platnum title. I'm not paying full price for a racing game that is only 1 player!!! So, who knows, I may just be playing Halo 3 again sometime soon..........or at least until Devil May Cry comes out . neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well I would consider that good news. I picked up the new issue of EGM (which I haven't done in awhile since their website is free). In it Burnout got all 9.0s (A Gold score), so even though I haven't played it I would say that game is a good investment. Also it reminded me of another game for PS3 I would like: The Agency. Friggin sweet! LOL, Devil May Cry. Which puts mylist at: Valkerie of the Battlefield (Late 2008) The Agency (Late 2008) Final Fantasy 13 Versus (2009) Also this year on the systems I own: Army of 2 (March) Smash Bros Brawl (March) Soul Caliber 4 (Fall) Too Human (Spring) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Also this year on the systems I own: Army of 2 (March) Smash Bros Brawl (March) Soul Caliber 4 (Fall) Too Human (Spring) I just got a Wii for my birthday, and I'm super-psyched about Smash Brothers (though I'm just going to assume, so that I don't get disappointed, that they're going to delay it again for another several months). Anybody have any guesses as to extra playable characters that haven't yet been announced? I would be as "happy as a little girl" if we could get Megaman, Simon Belmont, and Bill or Lance from Contra. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The only non Ninento Characters announced so far are Solid Snake and Sonic. Nintendo ACCIDENTALLY revealed 3 characters the day before yesterday though. Ness and Jigglypuff were obvious, but theres also some black and blue pokemon-dog thing (I only know the original 151). A video they released showed how the sticker album works and how you can equip stickers to characters... And accidentally showed these 3 being equipped. Since then their pictures have been blurred on the film, but the covers' blown. It won't matter though, it's out in a week in Japan and then all the characters will be public knowledge. I'm pretty sure March 9th'll be the day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The only non Ninento Characters announced so far are Solid Snake and Sonic. The Konami connection with Snake gives me hope for a Contra or Castlevania character, and Mega Man might be a pipe dream, but that would round out the group of core, iconic NES characters that I would want to see (excluding, perhaps, Little Mac and Luigi). Some more Pokemon's, huh? yay. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestlé Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Fair enough Deadpool. I'll keep that in mind. I would also love to see Megaman. As far as announced characters (including ACCIDENTAL ones) I count 28... But Zelda & Shiek probably count as 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit a couple of feet from my 37" HD screen and ZOOOOOM! Racing through the city is an immersive, amazing adrenaline rush. The AI is wicked evil! I've only done about one full lap of the city so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Not sure how many of you out there have played Mass Effect, but I own it and love it. And, despite the rumours is very clean. Ah, rumours... They led to this frustrating story that will have people shunning the game for years: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3165591 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Gotta agree Jatta... The countryside is gorgeous, the mountains are twisty and fun to drift, the city's fun to run full out in... The most fun I've had is just driving and taking some of the little shortcuts. I've found a dirttrack down in the South West that was alot of fun to just run laps on... It's a mile long track, look for the signs on the road, and go through the yellow signs... Driving on the traintracks is pretty fun too... The huge drops in the middle of the track are sweet, and give you a nice shower of sparks when you land... Haven't played the actual game online too much, just trying to take the whole city in. Nestle - That's a great story. I love it when people who know nothing about video games try to just get on the bandwagon with the fact (FACT!) that video games are evil (EVIL!) .

Ok, I'll be sure to check out that area. I need to practice my drift turning. Driving on the traintracks is pretty fun too... The huge drops in the middle of the track are sweet, and give you a nice shower of sparks when you land... Haven't played the actual game online too much, just trying to take the whole city in. Have you played a "Road Rage" race yet? OMG! I hopped online just to check things out and I started doing Takedowns on the other players. Vicious! I may have to buy another HDTV and PS3 just so I can play though. I can't get my wife off the game. She HATED videogames until we got this PS3. Now she keeps bogarting the controller. Hint to guys: Tell her your getting it for the Blu-Ray capabilities. Once it's in the house your golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ok so I got a PSP for my birthday yesterday, and I only have two games: Battlefront Reegade Squadron and Daxter. What other non-sports or racing games should I get. I just don't like Sports/racig games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestlé Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I've gotta agree with Power Stone (LOVE it! ) and the only reason I suddenly WANT a PSP is FFVII Crisis Core which comes out next month. I don't even like FFVII! I just really like Zach, the backstory all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINTENDOwii Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hello to all. I have decided to NOT GET A PS3 UNTILL NEXT YEAR unless somthing comes up. I have decided to do this because of a little somthing called Halo, Undertow, and Xbox live all in one console at one time. Instead I might just get a PSP because I already have a Console (xbox360) and don't have any portable system. Also I am going to be on the road a lot for track. See you all on Xbox live for the next year! PS: Yes Neo, I changed the "loser" picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NINTENDOwii Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Undertow changed your mind? (LOL) Somewhat. That free download made me realize how good Xbox live is. But also that fact that I will be on the road on EVERY FRIDAY UNTILL MAY for track kind of made me wanna get a portable system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 There are a few good games for the PSP, but if you want a hand-held system, I think the DS outranks it in terms of having great games. Its probably my favorite system that I own (next to my NES-compatible Yobo, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
