Video Game Thread

My brother and I played through a couple of games this summer. Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy 13... Mass Effect 2 was an AMAZING game, and one of the best games that I have ever played.

Final Fantasy 13 on the other hand was a joke.

Also Fifa 10 is an outstanding game!

Yeah FIFA 10 is great. Too bad seemingly everyone I play online is amazing. Can make for a VERY frustrating experience.
 
Video games? I don't have time for that because I'm too busy playing Angry Birds on my phone.
 
I was thinking of getting Alpha Protocol but after reading several reviews I was left feeling "meh" and didn't bother.

Anyone read all the new stuff on NBA Live being re-branded as NBA Elite 11?

A lot of the stuff they talk about seems extremely promising they have really upped their commitment to realism. But then again, haven't we heard it all before from EA Sports?

Although, NBA Live 10 was a huge step in the right direction,
 
Microsoft revealed their new xbox 360 system at E3:







not a bad system for $299, i have yet to buy a xbox so this might be my first one
 
****. I just got my 120GB Elite 2 months ago.
I actually still have my ancient 20GB one. It's RROD'ed about three times, but with the warranty, they just keep fixing it for me. But the next time it breaks I probably will need to get a new one... nice to see a slightly upgraded version, although those "features" listed sound like a lot of hot air, not much I actually care about. I mean, touch-sensitive buttons? Who cares? The only thing that I really like on that list is that it's supposed to be quieter... my old 360 is loud as hell.

At least I was lucky enough to buy my first PS3 just as the slim model came out... it's nice. I've barely touched my 360 since I got it, except to play Mass Effect 2.
 
Myself and the boy are PC gamers. More him than me these days but yeah. I played Mass Effect, love the Bethesda offerings, KOTOR, etc. I have the first STALKER sitting around and more- Civ IV etc to get to.

The boy has moved on to Bad Company 2, Baldur's Gate (is revisiting those old games a movement or something?), etc

That's the other thing, I'm still rockin' the bottom of the line model "fat" PS3. Maybe I'll offer it up to my brother at a discounted price and get a new slim.
 
This is what I'm excited about.

The network will bring 3500 live sport events to 360 including Soccer, NBA collage basketball, collage football and more.

The service looked very similar to the Sky service currently available in Europe. A pair of lippy ESPN pundits (Robert Green jokes and all) even showed off ESPN working hands-free with Kinect.

ESPN will be available to Gold members at no extra cost.

Oh yeah baby!
