Who plays video games?  What are you playing?

 

I just got a PS3 and am working through all the best games from that console.  Have played through God of War 3 (incredible), Killzone 3 (just another shooter, albeit a pretty one), and am just starting the Uncharted series.

 

My absolute favourite thing of the last console generation was the Mass Effect series.  Have played the whole series through twice, will probably play it again soon.

 

Don't play online much, I'm mostly a single-player game guy.

Yes this is true but can you save a game and come back to it later? If not it's  still great for arcade games etc. So many wasted quarters... damn you Topo Gigio's!!!

Sometimes I like to play old RPG games and without persistent save states I can't do that. Emulator is the way to go (for those games)

Alien Tales and Carmen Sandiego automatically save your progress

Haha Wizardry V... when video game RPGs were still basically just pen-and-paper with some automation

So I could play DnD without the pesky prerequisite of having friends 

oh man Topo Gigos, I only went there once, I don't think the pizza was that good and I didn't like the version of DDR they had

How have I not heard of this until today...?

This looks incredible!

Some GTA 6 news!

- Vice City will be the main location.  Vice City was based on Miami and was the setting of the original.

- They might map current Miami to be used rather then a fictional "Vice City"

- Rockstar internally calls the game Project Americas and players will be able to travel to other countries including those in South America

- Likely to feature a female protagonist

- Tentatively set for release in 2022

I read a story (cant remember the source) over the weekend that Rocksteady, the makers of the awesome Batman Arkham series is making an open-world Superman game set in the Arkham-verse.

so.....soon I'm going to start doing gaming videos, here's a test I just did

what I'm going to be doing is mostly educational games

Ive been waiting YEARS for the Red Dead follow up.  I think Ill dust off my old Red Dead and replay it just to get ready.

Red Dead Redemption in my opinion was the best game released since Half Life 2.   The story ,  the missions,   the atmosphere,  voice acting,  gameplay mechanics were all perfect IMO.     I'd even say the story is better then most movies in the last dozen years.

New Street Fighter character coming out soon.  Not that big of a deal in itself but the guy playing him in the video looks oddly familiar.  😉

Excited for a new Fallout, disappointed they didn't give it to Obsidian to develop like Fallout: New Vegas (the best Fallout).

And what would an Atari return be without...

Almost 10 000 supporters for the Atari...  I am surprised because the console really doesn't hold up well these days.
