Video/Computer games

play a good game, pass the info on to everyone else so they can give it a shot...

 

i rented and am playing through Psi-Ops, a game where one uses mental powers and machine guns to fight a conspiracy, which is actually pretty twisted and intelligent...

 

what makes this game good: its absolutely malicious and the mental powers are wonderfully fun and evil..

 

telekenisis: you can lift objects and hurl them at enemies, including explosive objects, corpses and other enemies...you can lift enemies and while they are suspended in the air, shoot them...or if you are low on ammo smash them into walls until they die...if one climbs on top of a box one can levitate that and sort of fly around...its fun

 

pyrokenisis: you can use your mental powers to light things on fire, boxes, enemies, what not....of course if you hurl said burning objects at other enemies they too can be immolated

 

mind control: yes, you can take over most enemies to do your bidding...you can attack other enemies, and they wont suspect a thing....or even more enjoyable make the mind controled subject kill themselves...

 

mind drain: to use mental powers one has an finite amount of "psi power"...to recharge it a little you can suck the mental power out of dead enemies...to restore it all sneak up on an unsuspecting foe...this however has a wonderful effect, the enemies head explodes!!!

 

this game is awesome!

im a fan of good old raceing games

 

Project gotham racing 2 is awesome

Last game I played was Doom 3...excellent, too. I actually wrote a review a few weeks ago on a forum I moderate.

 

Totally Off Topic, Video Game Section - Doom 3

 

Plenty of Screenshots for you there.

If you like the psionic stuff and don't mind playing an older PC game...try System Shock 2. It's kinda a first person shooter/RPG. You can go for technical skill (NAVY), combat skill (MARINE), or psionic powers (PSI-CORPS), or a combination. Pretty cool game.

I am about shooters, RPGs, and the odd racer or flight sim

 

on such a note Crimson Skies, which is an older game is very enjoyable...its on ym list of games to buy when they are cheap

 

well designed aerial combat, zephyrs, and the fact that you are playing a sky pirate

[Sparq]

Those would be Zeppelins. I played Crimson Skies...it was decent, but I found that it went from extremely easy to maddeningly difficult in the space of 2 missions about the middle of the game.

[Boond]

i just switched planes...the brigand can take punsihment and dish it out, but is slower than the devastator

 

but it does get harder mid game, totally

Full Spectrum Warrior for Xbox. Squad-based. Command two teams of four in urban warfare in a fictious country in the middle east.

I still have fun with Halo

 

Halo 2 is the one of only 2 game i swear im going to buy

 

The second is KNights of the old republic 2...The first one was awesome

[Boond]

I am so there on the HALO...love the MC...

 

and i too will definitely buy HALO2....but i might just rent KOTOR2, i beat KOTOR so many times when i rented it, that it wasnt worth buying...but i will definitely buy Mechassault2, love the first...and im interested in Fable, Starcraft Ghost, Goldeneye, Jade Empire, FR: Demon Stone...ah its gonna be expensive

[ok_go_570]

haha im not that big on videogames...but i do enjoy them

[Boond]

lol...im sick really....

[eeleye]

I'm a big fan of Metroid Prime. To beat it comprehensively takes a long time and the involving nature of some of the puzzles.

 

I can't wait till Prime 2 comes out, it's going to bring a whole new look to the game, as there will be two worlds and things of that nature.

[Boond]

its a shame metroid games dont come over to multiple counsels...

[eeleye]

It is. Even as a devout Nintendo fan, I think they should show some leeway with some of their games instead of hounding them all the time.

[Boond]

well Nintendo did fail to renew their exclusive contract with Rare, so we may see some nintendo titles appear on other counsels...

 

one such title Perfect Dark Zero which was originally slated for gamecube is now exclusively for the Xbox...i cant wait! reminds me of my N64 days...even though they animed it up

[eeleye]

Yeah, I heard about the Rare contract and got worried about the fate of Donkey Kong until I realized he was owned majorly by Nintendo.

[Boond]

same with The Legends of Zelda, very unfortunately...i will have to rent a cube when the new dark classic style zelda comes out

[ok_go_570]

gamecubes are only a hundered bucks nowadays

 

there pretty much the same price as games...well adding 30 bucks anyway

[Boond]

i buy all my games used from EB...and if i wait a while for ones i have beat but like i can pick 'em up for $20...besides im a rent and beat fella with most games, and only buy the ones i really like

[eeleye]

Same here. As a rule of thumb I buy all worthwile Zelda, Metroid, and Mario games, but other than that the game really has to catch my eye.

[Boond]

yeah i loved my zelda games so much....i miss Link, he kicked ass

[Crusader]

Well if everyone comes over and helps me finish off Majora's we can all play as Link. Though mainly me. I randomly stopped playing.

[eeleye]

I love majora's mask. Majorly in part to the Gama Link mask that turns you itno a psycho two sword wielding maniac. ;)

[Boond]

i dont remeber that mask!!! ;)

 

i do remeber the feirce diety mask...that thing was cool

[Crusader]

Neither do I...
