almost every game is going online these days, why ? is it because security issue on PC, maybe companies will have more control this way, or maybe just more profit by charging for subscription? seriously this needs to stop, online -> no plot, this sucks. online also means problems in connection wish will affect gameplay. what is wrong with having both online and offline play with good story. Maybe next we'll see fallout 4 online, with the story ripped away. Please stop this ! I still will remember that wretched day when they made WOW and destroy warcraft franchise for me
Old games will be cheaper and original, usually when you buy the PS3, you get 1 or 2 games in package deal... so yeah go for old ones, then for new ones, no problem in being little late since games don't have expiry date
With the cost of games these days and having the internet, its quite easy to research games before you buy, to make sure you're getting value for your money. But how much research? Do you go by one sites review or do you go to a few to get a reasonable idea? Do you have a rule that you won't buy a game that rates under 7/10?Dollar75
It takes around 1-2 hour, i check the rating, the official review, a couple of videos and images, and then some players reviews. Sometimes i check the forums to view "problems", and if there is a work around. If all go well, i will buy the game, to say the truth i am not hard to satisfy.
Gamer 2.0 has a really interesting look at whether video game playing, our favorite hobby, has any effect on the environment and the hubbub over Global Warming. Some snippets:
"Unfortunately, due to the necessity of the technology that enables games to exist as they do today, the power that fuels our hobby must also be sacrificial. So what price does the enviorment for games with the visual verbosity of something like Gears of War 2?
The surprise comes when we examine the kind of power that it takes to keep information in stasis. Virtual communities and MMOs represent massive humming engines that never sleep. Julian Bleecker of Near Future Laboratory calculated that the average Second Life avatar eats up 1,248 kilowatt hours of electricity per year (1,095 kWh on your PC, 153 kWh server side). When Bleecker calculated the appropriate carbon dioxide emissions that 1,248 kWh of electricity would give off, it came out to 1,685 pounds per avatar per year, or the equivalent of driving 1,800 miles in a BMW 750Li, according to Wired Magazine.
By contrast and by our calculations, you'd probably have to play that same Xbox 360 for five hours just to produce a pound of CO2 emissions, and there are barely enough hours in the day in order to reach the same benchmark as that Second Life avatar plotted through the course of a year."

What ?! From now on, i will stop playing games, more than this, seeking redemption, i will begin planting trees and saving dolphins (i am not sure how this may help), right now, i will shut down my PC and never turn on again, because it hurt Ozone.
Who actually finishes their games? When I get close to finishing a game, another great game comes out and I start playing that one and forgetting about the older 1.:?
Does anyone have any advice for my "problem?"
