I wish it DID exsist in online gaming on consoles, most of the time, I never encountered it. All I encountered was sore losers/whiners. I can honestly say, overall, I didn't enjoy being on-line in Halo 3, or other on-line games... And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason I have no interest in online gaming on consoles, nor paying for online on them either....

Ocarina of Time's ending, and credit rolls. The music is what did it to me. Metal Gear Solid, the ending where you give in to torture. Shadow of the Colossus, when you think the horse bit the dust.

I considered a PS3 for some time, but there's very few games I would play on it. Not to mention that I only like keeping track of one console (my nintendo wii), I spend enough time playing it.

Yeah, Black Friday had a deal I couldn't pass up. It's a Samsung Blu Ray player (about a 150 bucks), I already have an HDMI cable for my tv that does about 720p or so resolution. I was just wanting to know if any of you have one, and what movies you could recommend that really makes the quality stand out. I already bought the new Star Trek on a regular dvd, so I probably won't rebuy that movie (at least until it's 10 bucks on Blu Ray if even then).

I'm at World 7, and this game is getting pretty tough. I've found all the Star Coins up to World 6, still missing one there right now.

Even though I've never really looked into Metacritic on much games, one thing I've found interesting is this... http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/modernwarfare2#usercomments The User rating has just now neared 6.0, and if you look through the numbers of ratings, not too many gamers are pleased (then again, could be fanboys INTENTIONALLY rating this game without having played it). Or even viral messengers trying to keep the game propped up. I know absolutely nothing about dedicated servers, or how bad or good a game is without them. Infinity Ward and Activision made truckloads of cash, but in the process, have had an impact on their reputation (at least Infinity Ward has).

In Mass Effect, I played as a male character. After I beat it, I played as a female character, for one reason, I liked the lady that does the female voice of shepard (she does a TON of voice work), and, to see how the dialogue could be a bit different...

I saw that video on Game Trailers with Reggie saying that, Geoff Keighley will only hold him to saying, "Well, you said it would outsell it in the first month!" I can't stand Keighley, he seems so arrogant, especially when he talks to Nintendo. Of course, most of the viral messengers on forums, or "hardcore" gamers think he's off his rocker. But then again, we are talking about a small base of people compared to the actual large base of "casual" consumers(average consumer). Yet, it's funny how they'll only use sales numbers to back their claims of how bad/good a game is (at least to them). Mario Wii might not sell as many copies as the DS vers. did, but I think it will definitely be on the sales charts for a LONG time (as the DS vers. STILL is). I find IGN's review hilarious. They docked points for the game because it's not like the 3-D Marios (hint: it's not supposed to be morons!), and the fact that it doesn't have online multiplayer (haven't reviewers come to terms with some major Wii games not having this?). And I doubt this game could even be as entertaining online as it is with all four people right there next to you. That's why I prefer playing games with people right next to me, rather than some obnoxious player who knows how to use the glitches in a game to his advantage...

This game is an absolute blast to play. Played it with four people last night, and loved every minute of it. I think this game over the course of a few months is gonna outsell Modern Warfare 2.

I've been playing some of it. But tomorrow, I'll definitely be playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii. After I help my girlfriend and her parents move into their new house...

I loved that one song for the game, "Ain't No Heaven" or something like that

http://golgothstudio.com/devblog/general/next-game-joe-and-mac/ I absolutely love this. Joe and Mac, on the first few games I played on Super Nintendo, RETURNS!!!!!! The guys responsible for the Toki remake for PC and XBOX Arcade, are going to focus on making a remastered arcade edition of Joe and Mac. Oh, what joy will be had!!!

This is why I will RARELY ever, ever put trust into DLC. No longer are companies content with delivering content on the disc, they'd rather have barely anything (or NO disc at all), on it. Or, have it on there, and FORCE you to pay for the content already on the disc you already paid for. This should also be a big flag waving to these "hardcore" gamers that are adored by their HD loving companies, they want to SCREW YOU OVER. And yes, I totally agree Nekofrog, Valve does get it. They keep the customer in mind. Of course, they'll make a profit, but hey, they'll at least satisfy both their fans, as well as potential consumers...

Nope. Not when Hollywood is desperate to make a buck that they'll go to what's probably considered the bottom of the bucket (at least that's how I feel they think of it). I don't recall there being that much of an "in depth" storyline to Prince of Persia, but I'll probably see this, it looks good to me.

Mass Effect A great sci-fi game that has a very large world to explore. Marred by a clunky, overwhelming inventory system, as well as aggravating loading times in elevators. Best Xbox 360 game hands down. Mario Galaxy Nintendo's attempt at trying to outdo Mario 64, with great results. Fantastic graphics, and music. A long game, but not much replay value after you're done. Okami (Wii vers.) Beautiful graphics. A novel approach towards exploration RPGs. Marred by horrid controls, and a few irritating characters. 5/10

I've been going through the same thing, and it's not just with the Wii. Video games for me just aren't as engaging anymore, I'm not as entertained by them. The actual titles that keep me hooked (and have me coming back for more) are few and far between these days.(Of course, having a girlfriend now has kind of filled me with more ambition ) I think developers need to look more at the games they make and actually look at how they can make games that don't wind up in the trade in section at game stores... On the topic at hand, I can't wait for New Super Mario Bros.! Looks like a very entertaining game. Just re-rented De Blob, man that is still a fun game. Might try multiplayer here pretty soon.

Kotaku gets too much into the "hardcore" gamer mentality, that I'm sick of hearing. And their polls they have "provide" absolutely nothing to me. I like to see game footage on Game Trailers, but Bonus Round is a joke to me. Michael Pachter's predictions, and his analyzing is getting ridiculous. I like Gamebiz from what I've seen of few and far between articles...

I haven't really been posting much on here lately, but I was a bit curious, where do some of you go for video game news? I guess this is kind of an odd topic, but I just don't like going to Kotaku or Destructoid, and having to see stupid "hardcore" blogs/opinion pieces all the time. Sure sometimes they may have something interesting or funny, but I'd rather look at some better sites than them. IGN, is okay, but I'm not that enthralled with their ad pages. So, where do YOU guys go for video game news?

As for the whole debate of GOOD Wii games, haven't we had this conversation for like a year or two now? And we still haven't gotten over it? Getting back on the topic at hand... After seeing some of the screen shots, I don't think I have that much confidence in the game (I didn't really know much about the game in the first place), of course, it's still a year before this game comes out, and the look could potentially change before then. And until it's out, I'd rather not get too over hyped for it.

Such sad news to hear of Lou Albano passing away... On a useless fact note, Danny Wells (aka the guy who played Luigi), was on Sanford and Son (and a couple of times if I'm not mistaken).

I've been playing Prime Trilogy, but I took a break from it and rented Bully Scholarship Edition. I have to admit, Bully's a pretty compelling game, very enjoyable...

A great song, very well done. Ranks up there with the ending theme to Metal Gear Solid.

It never ceases to amaze me how far people are getting out of hand with games these days...
