This game is awesome! I am loving it. Target has it on sale for $13 definitely worth it if you have not played it yet.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

I am fine with this since I don't feel like dropping another $500 on a console.

I'm fine with it too.

Sounds about right, I've read a few articles that say new consoles are at least 3 years away. With the way they can update things with downloads these days their shelf life is a lot longer.

I wish. The only news I've heard on the RTS front is that the guys who used to make up Ensemble Studios (Age of Empires/Mythology & Halo Wars) have created a new company and were working on something. Oh and there's a new Stronghold coming out in June.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Ensemble had some good stuff. What's Stronghold? never heard of it.

It's a Medevil time frame rts where u build up a castle to protect your people and also regulate food distribution and crime and so on and so forth. It's a really good series with the 4th one on the way.

Playing Brutal Legend now. Not a bad game

This is some BS here, Nintendo could have easily kept the Wii going especially for families that really can't afford a new machine every few years. I never play mine but still seems too soon.

I think they need to play catch up with the big boys and go HD and offer up a more robust online experience.

Mine was such a waste, haven't hooked it back up since moving 2+ years ago. I should probably sell it.

IF my 3 year old didn't play it, it would be a dust collector. I stood in line for several hours for that stupid thing, too!!!!

I think if we have learned anything with this gen of consoles; graphics is not everything game play is the big driver.

But with that said the Wii with out HD is like cereal without milk.

Personally, I'd recommend against putting credit card info on any of these game networks. I used to buy points and whatnot with my credit card on xbox live, someone got my info, and tried to buy 800 bucks worth of stuff. Luckily my cc company caught it and I didn't have to pay a dime.

I think it may be impossible to open one without a credit card. I know my Xbox has one but I have never charged anything to my PSN so I am wondering if I stuck one on there. I feel like they made me put one on.

Xbox live game the option, but it wasn't required. I added the credit car later on.

Looks like I'll be back on XBox live playing Zombies on World at War tonight ! That is after I practice some Mortal Kombat cause I OWE YOU QUAAAAAAAAAAAAKE !!!!!

For those of you following what's happening with the hackers and PSN, what do you think about [URL="http://ingame.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/05/05/6593542-report-hackers-plan-third-attack-on-sony"]this[/URL]?

I'm really annoyed that the PSN already got hacked, and if they hack it again and can't be stopped by Sony I'm gonna be even more mad. I have my card info on my PSN already and even though I've been monitoring my account and nothing bad has happened yet, if they do end up using peoples' cc accounts it's just gonna be more headaches. As soon as PSN launches again I have to change my password, and I just ordered a new debit card so hopefully that'll take care of it, but all the same Sony f'd up big time on this one. And I can't believe they were planning on hacking Sony again.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Yeah that situation is getting pretty ugly. Even though I'm more of an Xbox guy, but I still love my PS3 at times and this is rough. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if this results in a xbox live styled subscription set up to provide resources towards preventing this in the future.

On a lighter note, anyone picking up Brink for 360? Been waiting a while for this game. If u haven't seen much about it, it plays like Team Fortress with customization options and features up to 8 players co-op.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Man I'm going back to XB fellas because sony is becoming more and more bush league by the day. This is what happens when you have free play online. XBL would never let this outage happen like PSN. Epic fail on their part.

I find myself extremely fortunate that shortly before this outage occurred I stopped playing online due to lack of interest, and even more fortunate that I haven't really had the itch to play since then. Otherwise I would probably be going crazy.

In the time I've had my PS3 I have obviously spent nothing for online access. If I had a 360 it would have set me back $148. Thats getting close to 3 games. Not to mention an extra $100 for wi-fi. So if God forbid an outage should happen for a month or even two then so what. Better then having the price rise to include stuff I don't want like Facebook and any other apps the folks at Microsoft decide to add.

And when the hell is 360 going to get a browser? How does Microsoft make a system without an internet browser? My crappy 3 year old phone has an internet browser.

For the record I own both as well.
