Video Game Lounge

Welcome to the NCAA Football Union Video Game Lounge

                               
 
Feel free to discuss anything related to video games. In this thread I would encourage members to post what systems and handhelds they own, and their favorite game for each system.  Users can also post a link to their reviews and we can help eachother out to get positive feedback on our reviews.

In this topic the rules are very simple: there are no rules. We usually like to keep things civilized in this union however with videogames that is often very hard to do so go ahead and talk all the trash you want... just make sure that you can back it up with some facts.(We don't want this to become as ridiculous as the System Wars board) Feel free to voice your opinions on which system you think will "win" (they're all winners IMO) this system war and... oh yeah, don't forget to bring a towel. Game on.

I own a 360,xbox,snes,nintendo,nintendo 64,sega genesis, and a playstation.

360>PS3

i own a ps3, wii, ps2, n64, and a game boy color

no espurs ps3 > 360 lol

I've owned/own a NES, Genesis, N64, PS/PS2, PC, GB, GB Color. I've got brother who own Xbox, GC, and the PSP.

I plan on eventually owning a PS3 maybe a Wii and possbily a 360. They just need to get some exclusive games on them that I want to play. As of right now, there are none. Considering all the current Next-Gen games that are available, I don't think any of the consoles are worth owning yet. But that's just me, none of the games that are out are worth playing. But give that a few months and that'll change.

I've always been a Playstation guy in the past gen but now I own a 360 and don't plan on buying a PS3 anytime soon. It's too damn expensive.

I have had my 360 for almost 6 months now and I have not ever wanted to stop gaming and go into a spell of not playing for several months, I give a big credit to Xbox live for this, because Xbox live and the interactivity part of the console has me more excited then ever and I am playing more then I ever have, because of it

Some of the Playstation guys, who have never exprienced good online gaming or those who have never had a 360, a lot of them will say online gaming is not important to them, but once they give the 360 a chance and realize how important online gaming is to the future of gaming, they are hooked

Over the last 10 to 25 years, depending on how long you have been a gamer, you were beating up on the AI for years and anybody can beat the AI in a game, but being able to beat a human opponent is so much more gratifying and challenging and if anything, online gaming leaves you wanting more and Sony chooses not to offer the same kind of unified online service that Xbox live has and that is just garbage on Sony's part and shows just how stupid they are

The longer I own my 360 and keep playing it, the less desire I have to own any other consoles and that is not a bad thing for me either

Name the kind of games, that you want the 360 to have, because the 360 is already building up a very nice collection of games and the lineup of games will be even more complete by the Summer of this year

Bioshock

Mass Effect

Forza 2

GRAW 2

Blue Dragon

Guiter Hero 2

Crackdown

Assasain's Creed

and several other games on the 360 is going to cause massive ownage on the PS3 this year and the 360 will double the current number of 360 owners to more then 20 million worldwide and they could reach anywhere from 20 to 30 million 360 owners this year

Those games I mentioned above are all coming out before the Holiday season, so microsoft has plenty of Ammo in the Chambers for this year to sell systems, no longer will the Sony Fanboys over in the PS3 or System Wars  forum, will be able to say that the 360 only has nothing but Shooters

Because this year is going to be Fall of the Sony Cows, they can try and resist the fall, but it will not be enough to prevent it

Does anyone else think this should be stickied?sith_acolyte15

Bioshock - Don't like FPS' that much

Mass Effect - Might be interesting

Forza 2 - Not a big racing game fan

GRAW 2 - Don't like FPS' that much

Blue Dragon - I've got Final Fantasy, and no, it's not a stale series. Each game is standalone, it's kinda hard to become stale in that kinda situation

Guiter Hero 2 - Available on PlayStation

Crackdown - Don't like FPS' that much

Assasain's Creed - Available on PlayStation

So of the 8 games you used as examples, only 1 was either not on PlayStation or wasn't in a genre i'm not too big on, or isn't easily substituted on PlayStation.

2 reasons to get a 360. Gears of War and Halo 3. Oh and GRAW isnt a FPS, its more like 3rd person...idk its weird.

XBOX360 > PS3 ps3> x360 .. that **** is getting old  rrric

I just said it for fun, actually ive never gotten in a system wars argument. I could care less what you like, if your a playstation fan then so be it.

Didn't you hear HD-DVD is gonna win the format war? Oh yeah, the entire porn industry is going to HD-DVD! Suck on that Blu-Ray!gobrutus

That is ownage.

Halo 3 and Gears of War won't draw me to the 360 becuase they're FPS', and i'm not that big a fan of the genre.

I think the whole Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD debate, when referring to gaming, is laughable, becuase HD-DVD will never be used for gaming.

I guess since you do not like FPS that much explains why you do not have much of a desire to get a 360

Why don't you like FPS for?

Anyways, Assaisain's Creed and Guiter Hero 2, will be better on the 360 because of the Multiplayer aspect of Xbox live, which is far much better then anything Sony will ever do with the PS3

Also the Cross Platform games will always be better on the 360, because Developers prefer to develop for the system and port over to the PS3 and that means PS3 Cross Platform games, like Sports and Shooters and Racing Games, will always have crappy Multiplayers with Choppy Framerates. Xbox live will make the biggest difference with those kind of games this console generation, because Xbox live adds a new element to those type of games, that gamers need

What was it about Gears of War, that did not sell you on the game, when you tried it?

It is an awesome game and the graphics and the gameplay are something very special

I was never a gamer too have many Shooters, before I had my 360, but the ones that I have on the 360 are awesome

I am really into Gears of War and Call of Duty 3 right now

The next games that I will probably end up getting will be Guiter Hero 2 and GRAW 2, both of them are suppose to come out in March

After that I look forward to Forza 2, coming out I cannot wait to use that Microsoft Wireless Racing Wheel with that game

Well if you get a 360 soon Sith....you can play ncaa 07, you have to wait for 08 for the PS3.

Espurs I think one of those new maps, for COD3, the one that has the Shipyard is going to be awesome for 24 player battles, I know after I download those new maps, Thursday Morning, I am going to head straight for that map

I hope you get some MS points tommorow at a store, if you are able to and be ready to have a great battle on Thursday Morning, Play with me as the Evil Axis and beat those Allies!!!! :twisted:

I always enjoy playing as the bad guys more then the good guys. :P

Well download the maps and tell me if it actualy gets full.

Espurs117

Well I am going to wait and see how things go after a week and give you updates on how full things get in there

Activision done a really good job with selling downloadable content with COD2 and I do not see that changing with COD3 either

Here's a link to my reviews, I put a lot of time into them and I feel that they're all well done.  Please rate them as 'recommended' and I will do the same for yours in the future.bgres077

I gotcha bro..

i have xbox360 and i mostly play college hoops and cod3

Terps

You should play Espurs on COD3 then. :P

The new Call of Duty 3 maps are coming out early tommorow morning and I know I am getting them

I am playing a lot of Gears of War right now along with some Call of Duty 3 mixed in there as well

Yes I have seen Bioshock and it looks very good and it is a game, that I want, it combines First Person Shooter along with Sci-fi with an RPG kind of Flavor to it

I think Assaisain's creed is going to be awesome, it is made by Ubisoft and I have more condifence in them, then I do any other Video Game company, they always deliver

Anyone still play any really old games?  This summer I started to play my N64 games over again.  I realy got into WWF No Mercy and WWF Wrestlemania again.bgres077

I was replaying Final Fantasy VII over the summer.
