Gamers....

What upcoming games this year is everyone most looking forward to? For me... The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is definitely on the top of my list, and close to my birthday.

Elder Scrolls V, ME 3, GOW 3, MW3, AC forget what it's called

I was born 19th of January at Whittington Hospital. I had 10 fingers, 10 toes and a joypad.....

I love Assassin's Creed 2, Bioshock 2, Dragon Age 2 currently and Dragon age Origins, Kinect Sports, Adventures and Kinectimals, I was a Final Fantasy Online fan (11) until they brought out the new one and now I decided I want a life lol. I also play Borderlands (but been a while, sort of hard to level with no partner), Alan Wake (no real replay value), Kingdom Hearts series (was destroyed after 2), Final Fantasy series (13 was god awful), Wet, Resident Evil Series (5 WAS better than 4 deal with it) among others which I can't remember right now lol. Mainly Xbox gamer but started out on PC, moved to PS2, Wii and now Xbox.

Oh and have been playing video games since I was 6.

hahaha... that was funny >.< ...
sometimes we have to admit playing is not just playing ...it becomes addictive .. even become a reason I cant concentrate on my review >.<

yup..gamer here

i play both ps3 and xbox. i play call of duty on both consoles.

i like splinter cell, assasians creed, oblivion/morrowind, mass effect, fable, fallout, half-life, fear, and many many others.

ya i cant stand xbox live either..way to many homophobes and people throwing around hateful comments. i perfer the ps3 to play online, less people talk and there isnt a lot of the crap on there..plus less cheating, glitching etc. and the game mechanics seem much better especially the COD games. on the xbox its like you can unload a whole clip and nothing, they turn to look at you and you die. or you run behind a building and two seconds later somehow the bullets from the other guy curve and kill you..drives me crazy..ps3 is much better.

I just don't get why some people have to do that. I understand why you might yell at someone for being a "useless f***er"!", or even call them a lamer (my partner got called a lamer by some teenage girls in PINK Masterchief armour in H3!), but to use sexual orientation or race as an insult is just beyond my comprehension. Maybe I ought to try it.....hang on....

"Oh, you suck - you're so hetero"

:ohwell:

Mostly the reason I don't play online though is because I'm just not that sociable! My gaming time is my own, I don't actually want other people in my fantasy world! I did try playing L4D2 a few months ago with a group of RL friends, and while it was fun for a short while, it soon lost its appeal. I'd rather socialise with them properly, TBH. I'm happy to play CivRev online with my partner, or Carcassonne but that really is the limit of my gaming sociability! Of course, if I were into shooters, I might feel differently, but I like immersive, story-based games that I can engage with on an emotional level. Having said that, I used to love MoH on PS2!

Which games am I looking forward to this year? Tomb Raider, if it actually materialises (and who knows, maybe this will be the one which isn't broken!). Other than that, the games I most want my mitts on - AC: Revelations and Mass Effect 3 - aren't due out until next year. Boh!

Already released and on my 'would like to get' list are Portal 2 and LA Noire....but I'm happy to wait for a price drop, or buy them pre-owned.

All this talk of Zelda is tempting me to boot up my 64 and play Ocarina of Time!

BTW, there's a great iPhone App which turns the phone into an ocarina....and you can download loads of music sheets for Zelda! There's actually a Zelda scale setting! Plus a function where you can listen to what other people all over the world are playing - Zelda comes up loads (as does Picard's 'Inner Light' tune, and the Imperial March)! It's pretty geektastic! :laugh:

What upcoming games this year is everyone most looking forward to? For me... The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is definitely on the top of my list, and close to my birthday.

There are a bunch more that I am playing. I like to jump around and pick stories back up later on. Keeps em fresh. As for LA Noire I will be finishing that straight through.

I have a monogamous relationship with my PS3 nowadays when it comes to gaming..

Been playing:
Killzone 3- I am finding that I do not enjoy it nearly as much as i thought I would. I really liked KZ2, this isnt doing it for me yet
Fifa 11- play this with my roommate, first sports game in quite awhile, having a good time
Black Ops- I have put it down since picking up KZ3, but may go back if I dont find more enjoyment with the other soon....


As for releases I am wating for:
ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Collection
The Last Guardian

I dunno, my head about explodes when I am playing WoW and a 10 year old is on. I've been reamed for not watching my language around them in the past, and I pointed out that it is rated for a reason. They didn't like that too much.

I let my kids play, but only with supervision. And they are not allowed to join random groups (not so much the language, as the name-calling that happens so often) or whisper to people that we don't know. And we use the filter, so most of the language isn't an issue. I just hate when people deliberately circumvent the filters (spelling it different or spaces in between each letter). Believe it or not, some adults prefer not to see that language too. (Not saying this was your issue ... like I said, it's my responsibility to monitor what's going on with my kids playing)

well I've gone and done it!!

After a rotten afternoon in therapy assessment yesterday, I felt so awful and annoyed when I came out of there yesterday, that I went and bought myself an Xbox 360 (elite 120 gig) to cheer myself up!! It has a precessor from 2008.

Can someone tell me if this is post/ after the ''ring of fire'' processors/ chipsets?

Oooh gosh, I sound like I know what I'm talking about! Which I don't really lol! but simple yay or nay will do

Thankye

xx

I CONFESS..................................





I WAS PLAYING SIMS3 LAST NIGHT!!!!! lololol

I can't say anything, as for years I was a Sims and Sims 2 junkie! Sims 3 just doesn't do it for me though ;-)

I take it was used? If not it will have a warranty.

regardless new or used, there are fans that you can buy that will attach to the back of the console. I had the red ring and once I received my new 360, I put one of these fans on the back and this current machine has been running great(4 years) I think the name of the fan is Intercooler.

Ahh thanks for the advice

Yeah it was second hand, but bought via my local GameStation (UK) I've taken out a warranty with them for 2 years, and it covers accidental damage etc, so I was quite happy with it But I was just wondering if anyone here knew the info off the top of their head

Only cos its gonna be getting a lot of use when I buy a kinect sensor for it (yay exercise!! ) and something like zumba or other fitness type things.

Yes we have a game room. We have all the systems but I prefer Nintendo and Playstation.
I love Final Fantasy,Resident Evil,Castlevania,Lego Star Wars,Okami. I really want to play the Shin Megami games. There is a game for the Wii called Dokapong Kingdom,it's one of the most entertaining games ever.Trine is an awesome downloadable game on the PS3.

Gamer here! Nice to see so many others!! Our main console is 360. love L4D, Halo, Gears, RDR, COD, Bioshock, Fallout, Boderlands, etc (too many to mention, lol). It is a family thing. My 4 year old is a beast on Lost Planet games or any Mario game. My 7 year old plays most of the above online.

We get ragged on all the time by family. In our house we have 6 TVs with some kind of console hooked up. We started the kids on the leapster (baby gamers), then they each got handheld leapsters, then the DS. We still have those, gamecube, PS2, Dreamcast, 2 Xbox (both hooked up in the living room) w/ kinect and getting a 3rd by christmas, and computer. And they all get played, everyday, well, maybe not the leapsters as much.

My two new favs-Your Shape and Kinect Sports.

I originally thought it was the gaming that made us fat (me and hubby, kids are not), but we have managed to live healthier lives and still play all of these everyday. We started making healthier food choices and take the kids to the gym with us everyday.

Glad to see other gamers trying to get fit!!!

You let your seven-year-old play 18-rated games online?? :noway: OMG! My partner used to play CoD online...the language and bullying, and racism (not directed at him, I hasten to add) was shocking! Appalling even. Not the kind of thing I'd have wanted my kids exposed to!

Yes, my kids are monitored while on-line, we don't use it as a built-in babysitter. They are usually playing right along side one of us. Most of the time, he doesn't have his headset on anyways. I don't think there is much he hasn't heard before that anyway. He came home from preschool telling us racial slurs and bad words and one kid was nice enough to teach him how to give people the finger. But, my kids have never repeated anything they have heard more than once. We explain it is something some adults use and they never say it again. I don't ask people in "real" life or on games not to use fowl language in front of my kids, it is something they will hear, and my job to keep them from repeating it and so far, it works just fine. And how is killing in games any different than letting them watch cartoons or so called kid friendly movies (spiderman, transformers, batman), all which have fighting and killing? It is something my hubby and I grew up with and we turned out just fine. They are good kids and until that becomes a problem, they will game up with us.

Many people I play with when find out how old I am are amazed I'm playing; like I shouldn't be. I was gaming before they were born and in some cases their parents. I'm probably going to game to a ripe old age. What these kids don't understand is guys like me are making these games and enjoying them still; there is no age limit.

I'm not huge on playing with younger kids, though I have found a few that have been respectful. I mostly play with people who are like minded and mature and I frequent a group from a gamer website knows as Battlebud.com. They mostly play 360 games but at least you don't have screaming kids. Playing with many or being on their boards, it is like a bunch of guys joking with each other constantly. Just putting that out there.

Age doesnt matter when it comes to gaming ... I think Even if how old you are .. gaming wont restrict you ..besides its a fun way to relax from stress . . .
