knightni Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 You can download an amateur-made version of "Press Your Luck" to play on your computer. It's pretty fun. If you like PC games, I recommend "Plants vs. Zombies" from Popcap. It's fun and addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Anyone play Tiger Woods 10? (non Wii) I've always enjoyed these games, and I figure I'll have a giftcard to burn and wanted to know if they have online tournaments and s***.

In the updated version, when you win a tourney, you get a free pass to a local brothel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 So I've got a PS3 and barely play games on it. It seems like I buy a game, play it for a couple weeks and then abandon it. Buy another one, same thing. It's like I've lost interest in playing games yet still like them... it's weird and hard to explain. This ever happen to anyone?

It's like I've lost interest in playing games yet still like them... it's weird and hard to explain. This ever happen to anyone? The key is to only buy games with a lot of replayability. I have three games. Madden 10, NHL 10, and MW2 (yes, I caved). Madden 10 has the online franchise, which is phenomenal, and NHL 10 is the most fun game I've ever played. Modern Warfare 2 has such a great storyline it's fun to play more than once, but even if you tire jumping in and playing a quick game of capture the flag is always fun, too. The next game slated for purchase is MLB 10: The Show. I'd probably just keep enjoying fan updated rosters on MLB 09, but made the decision to sell it before baseball season ended a - to get the biggest return, and b - because I knew I'd want Gordon Beckham's face in the game for real. There are GREAT games to rent for a week and beat, or to purchase with the sole intent of eventually trading them in... these games also happen to retain their value if sold on eBay vs. trading them for pennies on the dollar at GameStop. Those games include Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, CoD 4: Modern Warfare, etc etc. In the history of gaming, there has never been a game to completely hold someone's interest forever, it just won't happen. If you pick and choose, however, you can do fine. Edited December 28, 2009 by Steve9347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Nice, I picked up Modern Warfare 2 on Saturday, and Best Buy dropped it to $39.99 today (that was quick). So I got $20 back and put it toward Uncharted so I'll get to check that out now. (The first one, I'll get the 2nd after that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The God of War Collection is a winner. I didn't play the first two games when they were originally released on the PS2 (I have no idea why) so this is a new experience for me and one that I'm thoroughly enjoying. The game looks great in remastered 720p, it almost feels like a PS3 original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been stuck to a single game everyday of the week in a loong time, but that's also because I don't have to time to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like I've lost interest in playing games yet still like them... it's weird and hard to explain. This ever happen to anyone? I am really similar, only worse. I might get 2-3 games a year and play them for a few weeks and then not play again for months and months. A few games I played a lot were Uncharted, Oblivion, and Dead Space. Then I stopped playing almost entirely. I bought NHL 09' and played it for like an hour. I bought Resistance of Man on sale for like $30 and it's been sitting here, unopened, since before Christmas last year. I like games, but I need to be in a certain mood to play them, and once I get out of that mood, it is very difficult for me to get back in it. Maybe I am just growing out of it? I do watch a crapload of blu ray on the PS3 though, so at least I don't feel too badly about it going to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black jack Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I've had the same problem for years. Buy every game and lose interest after a few hours. I cut back to only my annual sports titles. Then after I picked up a PS3 around thanksgiving(plan on finally getting The Show), I went and picked up Uncharted 1 and 2. I solved both in about a week and a half. U2 is really fun, part 1 got a bit repetitive with the shooting, but 2 was unbelievable.... like an action movie. I also got Metal Gear and Infamous out of the bargain bin.

black jack Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 oh yeah, both uncharted 1 and 2 took me about 10-12 hours to beat on normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that myself that I'm growing out of it, but then I hear and see some of these games and I'm like I have to play that! I get it and a couple weeks later... I just lose interest. I know one thing for sure though, learning all the controls and after putting it down for a while I forget and I don't feel like learning all over again. I have to try some of these games suggested though. I'm glad I use my PS3 for movies and netflix as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
