    Hubby's a gamer, but I like to watch him play a lot of the games. Most of his stuff is xbox360, but he's dying for a ps3... I plan on getting one for him next year for his birthday (the big 30)/graduation. Any game suggestions for the ps3? Can't get him a system and no games to play! lol :)

    What kind of games does he like?

    If you can, definitely check out craigslist as I've been seeing quite a few PS3's in my area with games for less than $200. If you choose to go this route, definitely make sure everything works before handing over money.

    For the 360 he likes Mass Effect (1 & 2), Fable, Halo, Assassin's Creed... things along those lines for the ps3? :) I know for sure he wants God of War.

    I've played God of War 1 & 2 and both were a lot of fun. I played Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the 360 at a friends a couple weekends ago and that was a lot of fun. Hopefully some others on here can give you more ideas.

    I play WoW. :) have since the release. Played Horde for years, was convinced to switch to alliance about a year and a half ago. Haven't played too much recently due to being on satellite internet, though.

    Meeeeeee!!!

    I'm more of an MMORPG type gamer! Think Wow, Guild Wars and EVE online (my fave!) I loooooooove the Sid Meyers games!! CIVIII etc! I'm not really a console gamer tbh, but am hoping to change that soon! I have a Wii, but use it for fitness more than gaming! I quite liked Guitar hero, but I dunno, I've not tried consoles in a long time. Played through Fable and FableII on an XBox360 and tried out Halo3 (managed to complete it in a day, hadn't played the other two, I wasn't amused) on an Xbox 360 too!!

    I'm loving the Kinect for the 360 though!! So I'm saving up my pennies and am gonna PX my Wii and Wii fit and all my games for a decent 360 and then save my pennies for a Kinect sensor/ camera. The games just look much more fun and better made than any of the Wii stuff. But my Wii has served its purpose, just time to move on!

    My biggest time-sink is definitely WoW. I've been playing since shortly after release and plan on continuing for the foreseeable future.

    I also play a few games on the Wii, mostly Wii Fit Plus, but occasionally Boom Blox or Guitar Hero if friends are over.

    One of my house-mates just got a PS3. So I imagine I'll be helping him test out Red Dead Redemption and Assassin's Creed soon. :)

    Oh, and it's Monday, so I'll be playing D&D tonight. We're using the 3.5 rules. In our current campaign we're all about level 12 to 14, so things are starting to get interesting.

    Ex-EQ, Ex-AO, Ex-LotRO, Ex-WoWer here... Rift's my current love. With a smattering of 360/Kinect stuff for good measure.

    I've already gobbled up many of the dorks posting on this thread; if I've inadvertently missed you -- add me up, always room for geeks.

    MissOurland, which rift server are you on?! How is the population? I'm looking to transfer because the pop on Aedraxis is low.

    I actually just cancelled my Wow subscription today as I haven't played for 3 months or so. I'm playing LA Noire on the PS3 at the moment - it's amazing - the faces and expressions need to be seen to be believed.

    Major gamer here as well, I think playing WoW too much years ago (and not going out to exercise) contributed quite a bit to my state of health. Staying away from MMOs now but still playing other games... Probably going to start Portal/Portal 2 soon (and have Fallout: New Vegas to do as well)! Good to see other gamers here :).

    That's on my list of games to buy at some point -- it looks pretty good!

    A couple friends have tried to get me to play WoW, but I hate the idea of a monthly subscription for a game I'd barely play. I've been playing runescape off and on for 10 years now, playing as I type actually (cooking).

    My cooking lvl is 85, which is my highest skill since I've been cooking so much lately. Recently discovered high alching for profit, so trying to do that as well.

    <-- Gamer
    I did WoW for a bit, the Lord of the rings online, have PS3/PSP/PC

    On PS3, right now I'm playing portal 2 co-op to death.

    On PSP, I'm playing Patapon 2 while on the elliptical.

    On PC, League of Legends

    Though anyone else starting to feel they have less and less time for it games as they get older? It used to be I could sit down in front of the TV/computer for hours and hours on end, now after a few hours I gotta get up and do something productive.

    The craziest thing happened Sat, I got up early sat morning to get a long morning of gaming in, by hour two I found myself cleaning the bathroom to stay active. :/

    I dunno, I try not to blame games for my weight issues. I blame my poor choices in more than one aspect of my life, the games were just a loverly escape from the hell that was home. Now I play for a few hours here or there after homework when I just want a break from thinking, before, I'd be on 12+ hours straight.

    LoL is a lot of fun! Long games but instant gratification ftw!

    Ditto! I put on weight because I stopped being as active as I was but didn't change my eating lifestyle - gaming had nothing to do with it. In fact, for long gaming sessions I've never felt the need to eat cr@p! My perfect gaming food is bananas! I can just put in my mouth and chomp, while both hands are on the controller! :laugh:

    I only play less because I am no longer QA-ing as much as I used to. In fact, I probably only ever get asked to QA about once a year now! However, in terms of gaming for pleasure, nope - I make sure that once a month I set aside a weekend to spend with my 360! I do productive stuff every day of my life, so I don't have any problem with zoning out once in a while with my sprites of love! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Yea, its the only game at the moment where i have a little time for. I used to play WoW a lot, raided 3 times a week doing hardmodes. And then i started working 40 hours a week... Now i dont have any time left and took a break from WoW. Then again, i wasnt missing it at all! Cata seems to have killed it for quite a few people.

    Also i met my boyfriend playing Guildwars. And we will sure play guildwars 2 when its out!

    If anyone wants to add me as friend, feel free ;)

    Count me in, I likes my games. Currently about to start Fable 2 since I borrowed it from a friend after recently finally getting myself a 360! Woo!

    Apart from that, used to play Ragnarok Online, but haven't for ages and I really do not miss it! =D Helping my man play through Yakuza 4 (since apparently he doesn't know how to dress the hostesses....>.<) Plenty epic rockband 3 nights with friends and of course I love my Retro Games most of all. I could quite happily go back to playing zelda on my SNES and N64 any day of the week!

    Oh and also Steam, for L4D and other such funtimes!

    Feel free to add me gamers, always have more room for geeks in my life! =D

    BATTLEFIELD 3 LOOKS TOTALLY AMAZING!!!!!!

    I am a hardcore Xbox 360 BBC2 Player, recently with the starting of my new business I can hardly ever play (twice in six months) but BELEIVE me, when #3 comes out, I am spending a full day that week just shooting people!

    I also played Evony for a year (online game) but had to quit when my business started as well.

    My husband and I are games. Right now, it's mostly an MMO (WoW), but we've done a lot of old-fashioned paper and dice rpgs in the past and want to get back.

    The biggest hurdle to loosing weight I've had, related to gaming, is that our group always had tons of snacks (chips, dip, cookies, etc). My solution was to fix myself a big veggie tray with salsa (it's fat-free and low cal) and snack on that all night :)

    This is my problem too!!! Been gaming with the same guys for over ten years now. Their eating habits haven't changed, but mine had to. Aside from veggie snacking or air popped popcorn, I keep a water bottle with me all the time so every time I see one of them munching on more junk and I want to join them, I just keep on taking another drink of water.

    But our house has become gamer-central. We're running a 360 and a PC with a lot of old school games. Hubby had every system hooked up at one point, but with the high def TV, the games look awful and are hard to play. We've had the TV disconnected while we work on some home improvement, so paper RPGs have been the choice of late.
