neolego Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yeah, EBA is one of the best DS games that I've ever played. I bought it for my Brother and my Brother-in-law for Christmas. One of the best of the year! neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedevil Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I have a PS3 I haven't opened, can't find a Wii, and am afraid to buy a 360 due to possible malfunction. Decisions, decisions... Gotta do something before the end of the year. Micro Center has $200 in rebates on the 360. Without that discount, it's officially out of the race!

Nestlé Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 If the break downs are seriously the reason your worried, don't be. Now that launch was a year ago, breakdowns rearely (if ever) happen and it comes with a warranty. (Plus I bought an extended one for 2 years for $50). Plus, any decent PS3 game is available on the 360... I know it would be a lot harder decision for me if I HAD a PS3 in my possession, and couldn't get ahold of a Wii. But, since I'm not in that predicament I say anything OTHER than the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedevil Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I think I've got myself psyched into a 360. If it breaks, I'll have Bill Gates' head on a stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsomedevil Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 After all the questions and hesitancy, I took the plunge. I am now the owner of a brand new Xbox 360! My first game was Oblivion. Bad choice- I was dozing off during a marathon run through the land... I wised up and picked up Project Gotham Racing 3 and haven't looked back since. I got a raincheck for Gears of War- Target has it on sale for $39 this week, so it was sold out... (My copy of PGR3 had a copy of Forza Motorsport for Xbox packed in with it. If there are any Xboxers that are interested in that, drop me a PM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I got my wife a Nintendo DS Lite for Christmas because she really wanted something that could play Mario and Brain Age. She has fallen in love with the DS, and I'm getting a kick out of playing it too. My question for anyone else who has the DS Lite - what other games do we need? We have Super Mario World, Brain Age and Sonic. Not looking for a specific genre of game - just want to know what games other people enjoy and recommend. Thanks!

minivenom Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Definitely Elite Beat Agents. It's currently my favorite game. Other notables (besides those you mentioned) include: Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis Yoshi's Island DS Clubhouse Games (a crapload of card and board games on your DS) MarioKart DS Tetris WarioWare Touched Also, you weren't specific on which Mario game you have. If it's not New Super Mario Bros., you'll need to add that one to the list as well. The next-gen systems get all the attention, but the Nintendo DS is no slouch. If I could have only one game system, it would be the DS. *DISCLAIMER* "Minivenom is not an employee of Nintendo and has not been paid for this endorsement. He's saying it because he means it."

My wife starts playing and I don't see her for hours. And thanks for the list of games! We'll be sure to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Elite Beat Agents? There is probably something wrong with me (but you knew that, right? ) but I CANNOT seem to get into it. It just seems bizarre and frantic, to me. Along with WarioWare. It's not that I hate them; it's just that the only way I'd play them again is if I was paid.

Nestlé Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Whoa, whoa, whoa! How can you even lay ANY kind of insult on WarioWare? God personally signed a contract with Nintendo giving them exclusive rights to every kid with A.D.D. when they put out that game. Glad to hear you like it Handsome. Not sure if it's a possibility for you or if you've experienced it before, but the most exciting thing about XBox is the online play. It's just done so freaking well. If you have any questions too, feel free to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 As you may have noticed, I do not have ADD. It seems as though every other thirteen year old child on God's Green Earth does, I know, but you may have also noticed that I am not every other child. <EG> Ego boost over, I wanted to change the subject for a moment. Is Marvel: UA really set in the Ultimate Universe? Spider-Man sounds like he's 30, Nick Fury is white and Deadpool, Doc Strange and a few others are all wearing their original, not Ultimate, costumes! WTF?

Really though, they just used the designs they felt like, it's not in Ultimate, but it's slightly off from 616. I think it's still 616 though, maybe 617.

No problem Al, no one cares what you say, as long as you and the F-Bomb don't go on a rampage. Besides, go up to Mom and tell her WTF, and she'll ask what it stands for.

Anyone else play Gunbound? "No one cares" here's a quick test for both of you... go up to your mum and when she says something to you say "What the Fuck" in it's full and see how she reacts Guys I was just pulling Alph's chain over it, it didn't bother me but thought that bragging about being 'not like other 13 yrs olds' then following the crowd and swearing seems an awfull lot like a average 13 yr old to me. Anyways here's my random back on topic question, Any gossip on a price drop for the 360 soon? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Did you miss Boxing day!?!?!? :o Compared to Canadian prices Boxing day was HUGE!!! Normally a Premium package is 500 here. On Boxing day everywhere had them for 400 (and some as low as 350!!!) It's still Boxing Week, you might still be able to get ahold of one for cheap.

handsomedevil Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 TBT, if you're looking for a 360 go to Micro Center. You get a $100 mail-in rebate and (if you open a Bank of America Visa through them) an additional $100 rebate. That offer is good through 12/31/06, so get movin'!

Reideen1313 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Just FYI - one of the absolute coolest presents I got this year for Xmas was my wireless Nerf PS2 controller. The lovely Mrs. saw me looking at them (and drooling) and suprised me with one. It is absolutely the best controller I've ever owned (the guts that make it work are by Pelican). It runs on 2 AAA batteries. There's nothing quite like the feel of Nerf, y'know? It's like I'm playing the game while holding onto a Nerf football, which is very cool when playing football/sports games. If you happen to find one (I've seen them at Best Buy and Game Stop) and are in the market for a new controller, pick one up! I don't think you'll be disappointed. Here's a review from IGN (they gave it 9.1 out of a possible 10 points) http://gear.ign.com/articles/739/739323p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedevil Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I'm getting pretty spoiled by my wireless 360 controller. I may have to check out the wireless Nerf for my PS2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
