as i think it is true that games are far more better on the pc. you also have to take into account that they can be far more expensive to run on the pc. a console is more geared towards the ppl that dont nescacarily want to spend the big money to get a system that will run half these new games. wereas console everything is built in and ready to go. as for update content well microsoft has already found a way for you t access stuff liekthat on thre 360. and yes the ps3 has more hype then it should. not so much because it was pushed back all systems have had this problem. but more so because no one really cares about the technology thats in it as long as it runs the good games and properly. blue ray in the ps3 is not going to boost sales anymore then they project. as for handhelds yes the psp is a little much. i understand ppl like games like tom clancys and such. but why do ppl wanna spend such a high price on a handheld that maybe nice and ahead of its tech but still such a small screen. handhelds are not a substitute for a console or pc. there only meant to entertain ppl on the go. if you have the option to play x36 or the psp at home. well the psp is going to be left in the cold. movies eh i copuld watch them on a 5.1 dolby system why in the world would i wanna watch em on a small little screen. the only advantage mobility. but you can also buy mobile dvd units. technology is just gotten to a point were its all just a little silly to have compatition like this. and has anyone seen the controller for the wii. i think i will go gag now after seeing this controller. ergonomic desgin pls no one wants a controller that is so free formed. its going to take ppl alot longer to get used to it then they will actually spend having fun.

Ultima Online, there's a good mmo.
EQ was great too, but I wish I didn't play a cleric =/. MUMKEN YOU'RE NEXT, START CH IN 4 SECONDS!

Counter-strike 1.6, now there's a huge tournament game.
Source, is pretty and whatnot, but whenever you turn on hitbox's via console and the hitboxss travel INFRONT of the model you're shooting at... game loses it's fine points. Not to mention the Half-Life 2 engine was bad. Man the FPS struggles with that game.

Any of you cats play some tournament style 2d fighters? Like some street fighters super turbo, Marvel vs Capcom 2 (most broken game ever, which led the game to be amazing), or even 3rd Strike? I'm all about tournament games here, I love me some competition, but for some reason I also like to practice.

Games are starting to become more about graphics, but fallout on gameplay. Ex: Halo 2.
Storyline was predictable and multiplayer is just.. horrid. The idea that a FPS should be played on a controller just boggles my mind. Not to mention xbox live ranking means nothing.
I'm too critical on games I guess, I mean they are games right? I just don't know why people put out steaming piles of.
Then again, it's not whether the game is any good really, it's if it sells.

halo 3 the new cash cow

Lets see, favorite Games.

Meridian 59, the first and best MMORPG... though the Massively part can be debated these days.

Civilization 4, one of the best in the Civilization style, Civ3 sucked... Alpha Centari / Alien Crossfire was also the best, though honorable mention goes to Colonization.

Sims 2 kicks ass.

FPS, I'd have to say Halo 2, on xbox 360.

RPG, Finaly Fantasy 3/6.

RTS, its all about starcraft.

Hmm... what else :)

Favorite system Nintendo DS. GBA is the best series for playing RPGs, sad but true, DS can play them as well as the touch games, so it hits the favorite mark.

Favorite System of last generation, the gamecube, followed by the xbox. Gamecube is great for party games, and me and my friends clocked countless hours on it.

Xbox's online play was great fun.

PS2 collected dust.

Most anticiptade, Revolution... The one system i won't buy (atleast untill there is a major price drop... or a final fantasy game comes out...) PS3

Video Games & Graphics Cards.
Posted: 6/25/2006 10:52:51 PM
I have an Athlon 64 3200+ with 2 gigabytes of ram.

I used to have the FX5200 128 meg video card for my computer. Folks, this is a terrible video card (and I tried things like "OMEGA DRIVERS" and they just turned the graphics to sh it). Games like Doom 3, Halo, Quake 4, etc. would not run very well on the FX5200. In fact Doom 3 ran poorly in 640x480 mode in "low quality" with half of the options turned off. I recently purchased a much older TI 4600 128 meg video card off of ebay and it is at least 3 or 4 times as good as the FX5200.

Then I got the TI 4600. Those games play perfectly in medium or high quality settings at 800 x 600 on the TI 4600. Even though DirectX9 is not supported in the TI 4600 most games that claim to need it actually don't. I've played Far Cry, Doom 3, Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil, Painkiller, Halo, and a few other very demanding games at medium or high settings and they play beautifully.

On the FX5200 those games ran terribly on those settings. In fact, most of the FX series cards are garbage. The only one I've seen that performs roughly as well as the TI4600 is the FX5900XT (at over $200). I payed $40 for my TI 4600.

So if you have a system similar to mine and want to play games like Doom 3 and Quake 4, I recommend getting a TI 4600. Real nice card for the price if you can find one.

I love flight or combat sims and driving games. Pandora Tomorrow was great too. As far as retards acting out violence on video games goes, did bush play too much Medal Of Honor? How can anyone be so stupid as to act out a video game. Yes, they are getting way out of hand with senseless violence though. GTA was fun but has gone too far already and not made for simple minds. Besides being 18, people should have to do an IQ test before renting or buying those types of games. The humans with at least an average IQ would not act that crap out. It's hard to tell if monkeys would though.
