a thread that is just what it says, topics that don't need their own thread but you wanna discuss. I'll go first: How about an Xbox or PS3 with a six disc changer? CD players (remember those?) had them for a long time now. I mean i have to stand up and walk SIX FEET to change games! SIX FEET! It's 2010. That's torture.
anybody played Super Mario Galaxy 2? I bought that on release date and haven't even put it in yet. Can't get myself to turn on the Wii.
heres an excuse for ya to put it in and try out today: link I have a friend who has been pretty stoked to play it so I plan on waiting to try his out before deciding. If you do get it please share your thoughts on it.
Got the PS3 move sports bundle and Start the Party. Start the Party was a lot of fun but didn't get into all the games as I kind of want to wait to play it with my GF in a few days. But it was very easy to play and fun to boot. I then loaded up Sports Champion and started playing the Gladiator Arena and that was loads of fun with increasing difficulty. Two hours later my arm was killing me and I went through all the sports games. I am really bad at ping pong in real life and am probably worse at it here. Bocce was very cool but need to get used to the power of the swing. Volleyball seems to easy, everything is done for you except the swings. Archery was a lot of fun. I think I'm going to pick up another control tomorrow to have two motion controls.
Sorry I don't have the link (work blocks the site) but up on Major Nelson's website is a link to sign up to get access to the preview program for the upcoming Xbox Live updates which includes ESPN3. I signed up and was accepted last night. Sounds cool and hope ya don't mind a few questions. Does everything come with the sports bundle or were ya using your dualshock controller? If the dualshock how was that? Any games up on PSN yet that use move? Have you ever played with a Wii/Wii-motion+ and could provide an opinion on how that compares to Move?
Everything you need comes with the Sports bundle, with that game you don't need a navigation control. I bought one but its still in the box, have it for future use I guess and haven't tried using a dualshock either as I haven't had the need, you can navigate the XMB with the move control quite easily. I've never really played with the Wii long enough to compare it and give an opinion but here is a video I watched that kind of compares the two.

About to pull the trigger on a PS3, and I've been wavering between the 160 and 250 gig versions recently. Now thinking a little about the PS3 Move 320 gig bundle I've seen advertised in a few places for 400 bucks. For what I'd be using it for (mostly some sports games, and watching movies through streaming Netflix) I guess I'd probably be pretty happy with 160 gb, but it isn't a big leap up to the larger 250 gb. At that point, it's just $50 for another 70 gb and the Move - tempting to say the least. Not sure just what I should do. Thoughts?
Just played a majority of 1 playthrough on Wanted: Weapons of Fate for the 360... I gotta say, it was a fairly enjoyable experience... Most movie tie-ins are horrible, but this one was a step up from nearly all I've played... I don't get tired of curving bullets, and though the gameplay was dodgy at places (it didn't have any updates to fix glitches), the storyline used real character voices and advanced the plot deeper than the movie (it was a sequel to the movie)...
I got Borderlands for when I finish with ACII. I have to say that waiting longer to get these games saves you a fortune. I paid about half of what I would have for ACII had I gotten it immediately upon its release. I got Borderlands for 14.99 euros.
Whats the price difference between the 160 and 250? Cause from what it sounds like your plan is with PS3 you probably won't need 250 gigs of memory and it may just be cheaper to get the 160 and a Move bundle. Didn't really dig on Wanted, other than the airplane level. Even as a movie tie-in game I'd rank it pretty low; definitely below the most recent Wolverine game and a handful of Disney movie/games. Have you tried out the Terminator: Salvation tie-in game yet? It is made by the same company that did Wanted and while; in my opinion, about as good as Wanted I at least played all the way through. My plan is to give MOH a shot if for anything to play the campaign but totally plan on buying Black Ops. Really looking forward to try out the Wager game mode in Black Ops.
I'm going to see how both games reviews and see what people who actually buy either game think before buying either. I've bought BFBC 2 and MW2 in the past year so they will have to be pretty specially for me to consider buying another FPS. Having said that I probably will buy the BFBC 2 Vietnam expansion
Played about an hour of the BETA, only 1 map and mode but it's enough to know I won't buy it. It's pretty much MW2 with some BFBC 2 style objectives and it's not as good as either. The kills seem cheap and the lack of a kill cam makes camping so easy. It also took me about 5 rounds to notice I had some kill streaks and then another 5 to work out how to use them. Despite having pretty low ping the hit tracking is pretty poor at times, rocket launchers are stupidly op, the noob tube would be more effective if you battered your target with it rather than fire it and the sniper rifle is 1 hit kill for head and 2 hits anywhere on the body...
i am still debating on MoH... I think i may wait and hear some feedback from people i know first before dropping $60 on it... COD:BO is already pre-ordered and i am about to put in for the release day off of work...
Do you have to be "military minded" to play COD? I've been wanting to try it out but have been afraid that maybe the learning curve may be a bit too steep for me. I know it's still going to be a while but I still expect nothing but the best from GTA V.
Nope not at all, if probably doesn't hurt but its not a requirement to have fun, just play the campaign before you get into multi-player, and then forget to play anything else for months. I remember the first time I played COD4, I was determined to play through the campaign first and once I hit online, it was a different game, the learning curve was steep and I still suck but it sucked me in, the competition, killing others, getting my first 5, 10, 15, 20 kill streak felt so good.. knifing people. yummy!!
Put Borderlands on hold, it did not really grip me TBF. I've decided to give Dragon Age: Origins another spin instead. Playing through the entire thing again with a human mage.
I've actually gained the War Simulator mind thinking. Being "military minded" = teamwork and it's way more fun in that perspective, to cooperate intra and inter infantry, armour and heli squad (with the commander as well) than jumping around like Rambo. The learning curve in Project Reality is definitely way more complex than COD or any other arcadey FPS and due to that, the community is generally more mature as well. However, it doesn't mean it's easy to master weapons, perks, lag timing hits, etc in COD. But I'm sure you'll get the hand of it.
If you like Tim Schafer's work Costume Quest is worth a play through. I'm about 2/3 the way through and have been really enjoying the game.
