@mbloof Thanks for the suggestion, if I had the money I would check it out ... I might pick up the Oculus Rift 3D VR headset when it finally hits retail, I'd read that it's supposed to be pretty affordable and < $400 ... I'm honestly not much of a PC gamer anymore (not since the early days of Castle Wolfenstein, Doom and the Gold Box Dungeons & Dragons series), but I'm sure the games would look as great as you described
Whoa, Telaros, what a really great response, I really appreciate the recommendations... very cool of you..
I am a fellow gamer and I frakkin' love turn-based strategy games like Fire Emblem.. so much so that one of my favorite games of all time is the ol PSOne classic Vandal Hearts :) My friends and I were all huge Dungeons & Dragons RPG players and Vandal Hearts was the closest thing to our D&D gaming sessions.. all of us would play the game in the den room TV and share strategies, etc. to the one actually playing it..haha.. good times..
I also wanted to ask you (and anybody else who wants to chime in) about what are your thoughts on current 3D HDTVs were.. do any of you have one and do you play your games and movies, etc. in 3D?.. I do for most everything, my 55" LG can turn any non-3D movie, video game, or whatever you're watching on your TV channels into a 3D display.. great feature, it's killer to start up Doom BFG on my PS3 and put on my headphones and 3D glasses for a great late-night gaming session whilst enjoying a good adult beverage (I'm partial to Bloody Marys and The Big Lebowskis fav, the classic White Russian'.. :) anyway, thanks again and take it easy
Hi there bdixon76, I agree with the frustration of having to hold our 3DS's at a certain angle to get the 3D effect.. I'm hoping that sometime down the line that'll be a thing of the past and we'll have true glasses-free 3D on our TVs and portable consoles.
Personally I absolutely dig most anything in 3D, especially movies, whether in the theaters or at home. I have a 55" 3D HDTV and playing games on it really late at night when the rest of the house is quiet, with the headphones on and the 3D on max depth is just a killer experience.. highly recommended ;)
I wish the Gamespot reviewers would always cover the 3D aspects of the game in abit more detail (instead of just a blurb on the "Cons" list that precede the actual review).. I mean, that's what I bought my 3DS for in the first place!!..haha..
Yup, looks as thought the Xbox 360 wins throughout, although I purchase most of my games on the PS3 (even though I own both systems). It's unfortunate that the PS3 was designed so that the developers have to dig deeper in order to get the superior graphics that were touted by Sony. I'm sure that some future releases like Killzone 2 will better showcase some outstanding graphic acheivements. In the meantime, I'll have to give the edge to the 360.
