Game Console Wars (Kinda)

[Guest ShadowXOR]

Glad to hear CoD4 is sweet. Looking forward to it. Looks like your set for your gaming needs. ENJOY

Everybody is a winner with CoD4.

I agree 360 is the best out there, still millions on Gears of
War which will never get old, Rainbow Six Vegas then you think of the games coming soon, Assassins Creed, we get GTA too, so you can't go wrong, never been a Metal Gear fan, and cant wait for Medal of Honour Airbourne and CoD4. I want Airbourne more, I don't like the modern shooters as much, but CoD4 may change that.

Groundbreaking, that one. Mario 64 blew so many people away, and I still think Goldeneye is one of the best games ever made.

Thats funny, me and my buddies invested most of our younger years playing multi-player Goldeneye. Mario 64 was cool, the graphics blew everyone away for sure. Another one we spent countless hours mashing away at on the 64 was WCW vs. NWO wrestling made by THQ, which is probably one of the best multi-players games ever made (along with goldeneye). Nowadays i find myself somewhat of a lost gamer aswell. Im going to buy an xbox 360 as soon as i can find a decent deal on craigslist. Nows the time to buy, with prices dropping and crazy amounts of pre-christmas release dates. and Id rather not spend the money on a ps3 even though like previously mentioned the 360 will be obselete in 2 years. Wie's dont appeal to me really, my buddy has one.. it works for drunken parties but im not going to play that thing alone in my house.. sorry, someone seeing me flailing around through a window is embarassing enough to think about. I tend to stick to mostly sports games now ie. hockey, basketball, boxing, and golf titles. (with the odd fps/3rd person shooter) so an xbox 360 will suit me just fine.

How bout some Handheld talk here, I have a PS2 and a PSP, which are both amazing, the PSP catches my eye more and is alot more fun to play with. Take it anywhere and so many other features (internet, movies, music, pictures) and of course games. The graphics are stunning for a small handheld.

I'm not a big fan of the PSP for many reasons I won't bother explaining (unless someone wants to hear it). I have a DS though and play a ton of games on it. The stylus really adds a whole new dimension to the game play and I'm loving it.

And I think Sony will either leave the console business, or make a Playstation 4 when a new Xbox comes out. I can hear all this talk of future-proof, etc. but the newest, hottest thing will sell. Sony's claim that the PS3 will have a ten year cycle is complete bull. The PS2 is still pretty popular because of the massive library, extremely low cost, and the fact that it functions as a DVD player. I don't think (and neither do sales results) that they will replicate that success with the PS3.

The PS3 is nothing more than better graphics, why waste your money? Making a PSP 2 or something would be simply amazing. There are many debates all over the Internet about which is better. The PSP and DS, both have their advantages, but i really dont feel like playing nothing else but mario with the DS :P

You should try some of the original/great games like Trauma Center that can only be done on the DS (though I actually prefer the Wii version, it's amazing).

For one solid year of college, I think I must have spent at least 30 hours per week playing Mario Kart against the same three friends, every week. We RARELY played race mode - almost always battle mode. Some battles would take literally an hour. We were GOOD.

So I may have to change my own vote from Goldeneye to Mario Kart, as dumb as that may sound...

I doubt anything will reach the success of the PS2. If the PS3 is judged on that, it will fail. But I don't think it will be. I understand all of your guys' points about the PS3, and to some extent you are right. But it is still a great machine....I wouldn't count it out yet.

If buying new golf stuff wasn't such an addiction i would prbly have enough cash for a premium 360. bought clubs/greens fees instead
