    Video Games (yes, Harlan, couch potato talk)

    I'm bored, what are people out there playing on their 360, PS3, or Wii these days, any show stoppers? I keep waiting for the next great game but each week brings subpar talent when I scan the reviews. It may be the next Grand Theft Auto that gets me to fork over the funds. Any opinions? Harlan?

    Gears of War 2 is coming soon. The first one was great. God of War is really good too.

    Heavenly Sword is a perfect rental title. About 8 total hours of button mashing goodness.

    Gears 2, yep, slam dunk.

    God of War sequel ramped up for PS3 may be what finally gets me to pick up that console. Too many titles come out for 360 and PS3, still waiting for PS3 only dynamo.

    Any of you guys play COD4 or CS:S?

    I'm starting to get back into PC games a bit. Anyone have any other suggestions for games that I should check out?

    Heard it was very good, but solo campaign a bit short. I don't have access to X-Box live, so many games that are best because of online play pass me by. Crap.

    Source is garbage IMO. If I wanted an easy mode shooter I'd play any of the Quake series after part 1.

    Try the Orange Box, Partial, five or six Half-life games in one box for under $60. Decent games and fiscally responsible.

    yeah, single player is short, but very good

    you can rent it and beat it in a couple days

    well worth it

    partial, crysis or whatever its called is suppose to be very good, but your computer has to be stacked to play it

    If you're in to MGS or want to get into it for Guns of the Patriots, pick up the Essential Collection. It's $30 and you get the first 3 MGS games. Definitely worth it.

    GTA is coming out soon.

    Ninja Gaiden 2 is coming out in early June.

    Go to the video store and rent Lagacy of Kain/Soulreaver series, pretty cool story and decent graphics. Try X-men legends 2 also. Yea these are old but maybe you overelooked them.

    Gotta be Xbox360 and score an 8.8/10 or above at the Gamespot.com review site, I don't play that often so when I buy a game it's gotta be one of the best reviewed.

    For Xbox360-I would highly recomend COD4, probably one of the most addicting online games ive played in a while, without live, i wouldnt recomend it tho, but live is pretty cheap, (found a 13 month card for 39 bucks)
    Rockband is expensive, but i love those type of games...Halos campaign mode was pretty good...Never got into gears of war 1 but, may try GW2
    I also have a WII and if i have friends over thats what we play----the new super smash bros is really awesome, mario and sonic olympics was pretty fun, One of my altime favorite RPG's is called Tales of Symphonia made for the Game cube, and theres a sequal coming out for the wii, and also another version of the game coming out for the 360...

    Play Kingdom Hearts.

    I don't give a damn if it has Disney characters it's a lot of damn fun. Great music and story.

    Play Final Fantasy, too.

    FF has gotten too linear for me, they should have quit with 7, its all down hill from there

    mass effect is actually a pretty good game, and long
