I sell my obsolete systems, but never one that still has games coming out for it. More current-gen systems, more options.

Are there some violent bloody Move games that you would play? Because at this point, it seems kind of pointless to get the Move by selling your Wii since the Move is just a Wii Plus.

no more heroes(one of my favorite games this gen) is getting a ps3 release, with more bosses, and an additional game mode. also, the fight: lights out, killzone 3, sorcery looks like it'll be a lot of fun, and kung fu riders should be really good. it really looks like they're trying to support it well.

I sell games that I know I'm never going to play again, for example I've sold bothe Wii CoD's, The Conduit, and MoH Heroes 2, because I had exhausted any entertainment value they had to begin with.

I'm going to give this an extreme language warning, but this video pretty much completes my life.

Spoilers: It's pokemon related, and it's not the Pokemon Movie commentary video either.

Speaking of the Pokemon Movie commentary, that reminds me of this overdub I found the other day, which works surprisingly well.

I heard it's racist. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6283514.html?tag=latestheadlines%3Btitle%3B1 And it's not letting me link, sorry. But Kinect sounds like it's another case of trying to keep the black man down... I'm sure Jesse Jackson will be all over it.

Do any of you ever search for video game stores when you are in an area you don't normally go? I have this habit of when I am in a different area for my job or other travels, I will type in the word "game" or "video" in my GPS or I may just randomly google "video games, detroit area" to see if any rare or unknown game stores pop up.

I was in Highland Park today and googled videos games and it came up with one I had never heard of called gameheadz. Their website had prices for used games and they seemeda lot cheaper than gamestop or some other stores I pop into from time to time. There were some google reviews too and people said the same thing about low prices. One example was Final Fantasy 8 was only $7.99.

So I drove by to check it out and it was in a crappy part of town so I decided not to go in, but they have 3 other locations and 1 is near where I'm going tomorrow.

Anyone ever hear of this chain??

I finally got my mouse back so I've started playing TF2 again. I've been playing the scout a lot mostly because I have all his new items except the hat. I kind of suck with the scout but its all good because fish kills are hilarious.

Yeah, major bummer. He is an Icon in Detroit. You can't deny the Big Red Machine or the 1984 Tigers World Series win with the 35-5 start. And they just showed Kirk Gibson's homer in 84 that sealed the deal on the MLB Network. Goosebumps

Kinect destroys the Wii and Move, now the Wii it's not a fair matchup because you're talking about current tech and then tech that was middle of the road in 2006 so ehhh, that's not fair

Sony's move on the other hand? Totally fair to compare it.

The Move still has the marionette feeling going on while Kinect doesn't.

I love the fact that I can do a ton of stuff just by talking, I have been on the comp talking to my 360 to change songs and play things and I don't even need to face the TV, sweet stuff

The other nice thing is that each OS revision makes all the games perform better, the ability to update things is really where the Wii shows it's age and where the Move and Kinect will be able to stay on the edge.

Kinect is great if all you're looking for is a new means of interacting with a menu. Interacting with a game on the thing seems incredibly awkward. There are hardly any games where the control scheme might actually make sense.

No, most of the games have the motions control linked to the same motions you do.

If I'm going to try to amuse casuals I'm picking Kinect over Move (Wii is excluded because it's archaic tech)

I mean I played a ton of Joyride for a long time and for a casual it's perfect, for someone like me who tunes every car I drive in games it's too simplistic but when I want to play with a casual or a child that's the perfect kind of game.

So far I've played a ton of Joyride, Sports, and Adventures and they all worked well over the time that I've been playing them

You know you have a very serious gaming problem when you force yourself to stay up past 4 a.m. playing Goldeneye online instead of getting bed rest with a terrible head cold that has been coming down on you for the 3rd straight day.

download newer version of video driver. uninstall current version. install new version. if this doesnt work, its most likely a steam issue.

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]I love Goldeneye. So fun.garrett_duffman
Agreed. I never thought goldeneye could get better.

And I never thought this cheap cash-in would actually be good. Aside from the lack of graphical polish, it's a top notch game. Even the blatant CoD ripoffs don't feel like blatant CoD ripoffs because they're in such a different context.

I'm pretty excited to play through the campaign on higher difficulty levels because of the different objectives. That's one of the main things I've missed in FPS games since Timesplitters.... They don't really give you much of a reason to play through again, while the older Rare-styIe games offer a different experience for each difficulty because of the added objectives.

And multiplayer is fun. I still don't like the perks and stuff because it just makes good players better more quickly and gives them (us :)) an advantage they (we :)) don't really need, but I haven't noticed any significantly unfair things going on.

Oh man, you guys...am I going to have to get Goldeneye now? Because it really didn't interest me, but when both Haz and Jordan say it's good, I have to at least consider it.

Kinect destroys the Wii and Move, now the Wii it's not a fair matchup because you're talking about current tech and then tech that was middle of the road in 2006 so ehhh, that's not fair

Sony's move on the other hand? Totally fair to compare it.

The Move still has the marionette feeling going on while Kinect doesn't.

I love the fact that I can do a ton of stuff just by talking, I have been on the comp talking to my 360 to change songs and play things and I don't even need to face the TV, sweet stuff

The other nice thing is that each OS revision makes all the games perform better, the ability to update things is really where the Wii shows it's age and where the Move and Kinect will be able to stay on the edge.

Kinect is great if all you're looking for is a new means of interacting with a menu. Interacting with a game on the thing seems incredibly awkward. There are hardly any games where the control scheme might actually make sense.

No, most of the games have the motions control linked to the same motions you do.

If I'm going to try to amuse casuals I'm picking Kinect over Move (Wii is excluded because it's archaic tech)

I mean I played a ton of Joyride for a long time and for a casual it's perfect, for someone like me who tunes every car I drive in games it's too simplistic but when I want to play with a casual or a child that's the perfect kind of game.

So far I've played a ton of Joyride, Sports, and Adventures and they all worked well over the time that I've been playing them

i lol'ed at you saying the wii is archaic tech (because it pretty much is). and now that i think about it, i cant think of ANYthing the wii does better compared to its competitors. it used to have motion, but thats now done BETTER by both their competitors. sure it has games that the others dont, but thats not enough. especially since nintendo only makes sequels of its games. and when it gets ports of multiplats, they're watered down. and the wii may as well not have online, the friend code system is ATROCIOUS. imo it really has become a last gen system. nintendo needs to push out its next system. and FAST.

It's really fun, plus the campaign is impressive. You know me too, I generally don't like FPS. Also the multiplayer -- all the modes are fun. My favourite so far is Heroes but I haven't tried Golden Gun, but Jordan says its fun as well. The only thing that's disappointing is no voice chat, but there are ways around that (i.e. Skype, AIM, etc). Also it's not a 'dedicate yourself' game like say COD, where if you just play once in a while people who play often have a big advantage over you because they play to much.

Amnesia is easily the scariest game I've ever played. I just did a sequence where an invisible monster was chasing me and all I could do was haul ass out of there. It was a big maze of corridors and all I could do was randomly sprint in whatever direction I happened to turn slamming doors behind me to slow the monster. Its so intense. The game is fantastic at making you feel paranoid because the monsters are actually very rare. Most of the time its just creepy noises and video effects making you piss yourself. I needed to take a break after that last really intense sequence. It was terrifying.
