  • Just got supreme commander, and it was definately worth the money.  It really takes RTS gaming to the next level and is a blast to play, perticularly online.  I recommend this to anyone who enjoys RTS at all.
  • I have been playing the Supreme commander demo a bit and it looks pretty good. They didn't create anything all that new like Battle for Middle Earth did, but the futuristic RTS is rarely done well, and it looks like this might be the exception to that.  With a good graphics card things look amazing, with great effects much improved over RTS games now-a-days. 
  • I just joined the battlefield 2 clan called lethal grunts =LG=  Its a great clan, i admit a small one, but the people in it are great and the clan server is almost always a blast to play on.  If anyone in the battlefield 2 community is at all interested check out the clan at http://lethalgrunts.forumup.com/?mforum=lethalgrunts and post in an application for =LG= section for possible membership, if you are 18 or over.
  • I just purchased Battlefield 2142.  For the most part it was a great use of money.  The new titan gameplay mode makes things even more fun, adding in some different action.  Plus the ranking system is a litttle easier and better for people to quickly access the unlocks--dispite what the gamespot review says.  I was really dissapointed however with all of the technical difficulties in the game, that can for certain people like me for a while make gameplay downright impossible.  EA has now administered a series of patches, hotfixes and updates with all of them greatly helping,  making Battlefield 2142 now almost entirely operational and a blast to play.
  • I have had The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the whole summer and it is still a fabulous game that is constantely provided new intertainment.  I recommend this to anyone perticularly for the 360 it is well worth the $60.  Even if you dont play anything over it has at least 250 hours of gameplay and if you get it for the PC you can get downloadible content to extend the hours even more.
  • I thoughth this would be a cool adition with the three new maps one new faction seven new weapons and 5 new vehicles, but it really isnt that great.  All of the levels are really vehicle oriented because they have like two tanks or so at every control point.  If you want to do well you have to play as anti-tank which really isnt my favorite.  Also nobody seems to ever get a score past 40 because you are just constantely getting killed by tanks.  The last problem is that the new faction (the Eruopean Union) never loses, all of the people on the server always try to get onto that team and it always win mainly do to its really cheap helicopter which is almost impossible to destroy without using anti-air rockets.  If you do like new maps and new stuff to look at you might like it though, its only 10 bucks after all.
  • I just got battlefield 2 special forces.  I hadnt been playing battlefield much lately only over the summer but then i decided to buy this and it got me right back into it.  It definately worth the $30 it takes to buy it.
  • I just go battle for middle earth two which is a really fun RTS game and i would highly recommend it to anyone.  I have played it quite a bit and it hardly has any problems at all (a few very minor bugs, that dont really impact the gameplay or anything or importance).  The only problem is that if you dont have a fiarly new computer and a pretty good video card it wont look good at all nor will it run very well.  But if you have a good computer like myself then there is no reason for you not to buy it and head online.
  • I just downloaded the Battle for Middle-Earth 2 demo and its a lot of fun for a demo especially if you get it with the multiplayer part intact.  I have heard that a lot of poeple dont get the multiplayer part when they download the demo but i guese i got lucky becuae mine came with it.  My only problem with the game is that they improved the graphics so much that if you dont have a gaming computer with a really good videocard then it dosent look nearly as good as it could.  Still i have a fairly basic windows XP 2003 with a decent videocard.  But it dosent look incrediable good, dont get me wrong you should still buy the game its a lot of fun and still will look decent but if you can get a good graphics card at a good price it will definately pay off for you.
  • I just got Need for Speed: Most Wanted for the PS2.  It is a really fun game, the only thing that is bad about it is that in splitscreen mode you cant ever have the cops involved which is bad because the cops (in my opinion) are the best part of the game.  Also the PS2 version does not support an online feature while the PC version does. 
  • I'm now half way through my freshman year of highschool.  The school is pretty boring though so i hope the rest goes by quickly.
  • I just got prince of persia 3.  Its a pretty fun game and definately a most buy if you got the first two in the series and enjoyed playing them.  It does have a few minor bugs which are annoying though--not really significant ones just annoying visual ones.  Also the single player campaign is a bit short and once you are done with that you cant play it online or anything so that is kind of dissapointing.  It does have a good storyline, good plot, and is just fun to play so like i said buy it if you liked the first two.
  • I just got Battlefield 2 modern combat and it is a ton of fun, and campaign is a good adition over battlefield 2 and this game is just more fun.

  • I just posted my 2000th post.  I went on vacation and wasnt able to post for quite a while but now even though im not posting a lot i got it up by 1000.
  • Do any of you know how bad the bugs are that gamespot says are in BF2: Special Forces?  They said that it affects some people and not others, but that if it does affect you then it will most likely stop you from playing the game interely.  Do you guys know if these bugs are a real problem in the game or if gamepsot is putting to much presure on it just becuase it happened to a few?
  • Well i just had my birthday, and it was pretty good overall.

  • I just got Age of Empires 3, and its really fun.  Despite what a lot of people are saying age of empires 3 has a lot more then improved graphics.  They did a lot of good things with the gameplay as well and they said that when they come out with the second patch (they said it would be fairly soon) it would have six more unit formations.  If you do have the came which is your favorite civilatzation?  And do you like the online play?
  • I was surprised that battlefront 2 got rated a 8.2, i thought they would get like a 8.7 or higher.  Do you think it is that good of a game or do you agree with gamespot that its fun but they didnt make that many great improvemnts over the first one?  I think i will skip buying it and buy AOE3 because i have had so much fun playing the AOE series.
  • So what do you guys think of the new gamespot?  Do you think it better then before or worse?
  • Right now im debating between the 2 really great games; Age of Empires 3 and F.E.A.R.  I just dont know which one to get, both look like they are really fun and i want to buy both but dont have the money.  Which game would you buy if you had this choice?
