I was going to suggest RE5 right off the bat but you already nailed it. Funny, that's the game that got my wife into gaming.

As mentioned LBP is another good one.

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is a split screen racer with lots of fun.

Resistance: Fall of Man has a split screen co-op.

I actually just started reading a book on the subject, called From barbie to Mortal Kombat: Gender in Video games". It's primarily feminist essays and it's dated now obviously, but it's interesting. So far it's at least from an intelligent feminist perspective, speculating why gaming (was) primarily a boys hobby and what could be done to make girls want to be involved. There have been a few errors in respect to some of the games they cover, but nothing to the point where it detracts from the point. To be honest, it's nice to read something from a different viewpoint than I would normally consider but isn't the stereotypical shaved head, organic fruit eating, man hating, sign carrying feminist we associate the movement with. It's sad that any sort of social progression becomes typified by the loud obnoxious oversensitive ones that seem to figure they carry the mantle for all ideology. I would venture to guess most true feminists wouldn't openly refer to themselves as such because of the negative stigma associated with it due to the idiots that are the most verbal.

You might be the first people to think it's cool lol.

Most people shun wrestling. I did it pretty regularly for something like two years, to a point where I was with two promotions, working 3-4 shows a month. Only twice did any of my friends outside wrestling ever show up and one of the times they showed up at the end and then openly made fun of it in front of the workers, right after one of them had broken his leg and been taken to the hospital. I was pretty disappointed in that.

I started out as ring crew, then reffing, then I was training for a bit but it started to take up too much of my time. Real life beckoned (work, kids, marriage) and I backed away for a few years. I was actually working with two promotions for a while. Now I'm easing my way back in to part time ref when I can. Because I know all the guys I get into the shows for free so even if I do nothing for the show, I get free seats for me and my son and we hang out with the workers after which he thinks makes me the coolest dad ever lol.

I could roll off a list of big name guys that I've met at shows, mostly Legends and TNA guys, which was pretty cool.

My biggest claim to fame on the indy scene was getting to ref an Al Snow vs Christian match when he was in TNA and free to work indy's. I took a bump by Christian in the match and due to a little miscommunication prior t the show as to when I was supposed to count a near fall, Christian thought I messed up his match and he stiffed me right in the mouth, hard. Then he yelled at me backstage. That, plus a few other things, him making fun of fans and refusing to go out and sign autographs, well he's kind of a d-bag. But it was a cool life experience and I still like watching him work. Just a moment in time, I guess.

I help out part time with a local promotion when I can. Based out of Edmonton, AB, Canada it's called RCW and they have an upcoming show in August the same day as SummerSlam. Teddy Hart s a semi-regular and will be at that show tag teaming with Scott Steiner against two local guys.

This is as indy as it gets, so don't expect a fancy flashy site lol. But the guys are professionally trained and put on great shows every month.

This is a politically-correct BS issue. There is FAR, FAR more violence against men in video games, but there are no wussy men groups that go out of their way to have a sissy-hissy fit.

This is a bunch of weak, thin-skinned, offense-prone women getting bent out of shape over nothing. Period.

Remember, telling someone you are offended is nothing more than acknowledging that you cannot control your emotions, and you want them to modify their behavior because of your failings.

You can't hear it, but I just started a slow clap. By the time I post this, I will have added an approving head nod.

You'd have a free network that sucked on a console that broke with a controller that looked like a spaceship made my a retard.

For action RPG's I wanted to throw another vote in for Champions of Norrath. Surprisingly, LOTR: Return of the King was pretty good too. And yes, Final Fantasy X.

Aaaaaan since your PS2 is backwards compatible, I would say get some PSOne FF's as well. My vote goes to FFVIII, my personal favorite, and FF Tactics.

[QUOTE="Ilovegames1992"]

I just realised that even though Resident Evil 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, i'd class Dead Rising as my favourite zombie related game.

What's yours?

So you have an advance copy of Resident Evil 6 I'm assuming?

If it matters at all to you, Trilogy for PSX can be problematic if you don't actually have a PSX. Maybe it's okay on the PS3, I honestly never tried but on PS2 it freezes and glitches a lot. The worst instance being when you beat the game and if I remember correctly, Trilogy was harder than any other version of MK3. It took me so many times to beat Kahn and then the game just froze. It happens in some of the other modes as well, but that was the worst one.
