ChiSox_Sonix Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 08:27 PM) For anyone who's got FIFA 2008, apparently Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is better. FIFA's been getting in the high 8's, Pro Evolution's been getting around 9.5 out of 10 for its reviews. Not sure if it's called that or Winning Eleven Soccer International or something like that. The only thing about it that annoys me, they only have official licenses for the EPL with Tottenham and Newcastle I think. But they still have all of the right players. I bought FIFA though b/c the lack of licenses that PES has bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 is there a way to be able to tell what type of graphics card my computer has right from the computer without having to search through manuals and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I've played about 15 minutes of that MLB Power Pros game for the Wii, it's awesome. The hitting system is similar to the hitting system used in Ken Griffey Jr's Slugfest. The pitching is similar, too -- you can move the pitch's location all throughout the windup and a little bit after it. I've only played the exhibition mode, but fingering through the instruction booklet, the game looks incredibly deep, too. I saw there's free agency, trades, AAA call-ups/demotions and even a June draft. The Sox roster includes guys like Nick Masset, Ryan Sweeney, Boone Logan and THE Gustavo Molina. Very fun game, best $40 I've spent in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) I am very anxious to get Assassin's Creed. This game looks awesome. Edited October 28, 2007 by EvilJester99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Okay, would an Intel® 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family (graphics card) be good to run computer games with, such as the upcoming Gears of War game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about it specifically, but integrated graphics are generally on the weak side. My guess would be no. Look on forums for the game you are interested in.

BearSox Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I just found that place like 1 minute before you posted that... and no, I can't. That leaves me with a bit of a dilemma now. My graphics card needs a serious update, and I need to add some extra ram. That's about 120+ dollars right there. Then, there is the problem with my processor. I have a pentium 4 processor, which is above the minimum requirements for such games as Gears of War, Crysis, or Bioshock. However, Core 2 Duo is the recommended I should have. Now, if I update my graphics card and improve my ram, all my requirements will be above recommended EXCEPT for my processor. Now, I ask those who are computer savvy, would my computer run the game smoothly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sports games are better for the 360 right now. If you're a Final Fantasy Nut...then you may want to wait until after XMas and get a PS3. I just bought a 360 last month and bought Halo 3 and NBA2K8. Both games look amazing on my 1080P TV and I can't stop playing 2K8. Probably the best basketball game ever made. As far as Halo 3 goes.........good god it's unreal. PS3 has the better potential, but much like the PS2 did...it may never live up to it's potential. You can always pick up a PS3 NEXT year when it comes down to around $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I've made up my mind. I'm not gonna get a 360 nor will I upgrade my current PC. Instead, when I get my laptop (which won't be for at least a year), I'm gonna make sure it's loaded w/ close to top of the line stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonWeltall Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 The male singer in the PS2 version of GH3 is the most frightening thing I've ever seen in a video game. He looks like one of the Goombas from the live action Mario Bros movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 For those who either own or have played MLB Power Pros, how do you advance only the lead runner? I've hurt myself out of many runs because I can't tag up with a guy on third because the guy who is on first or second will also try and advance.

I wouldnt do that, first it costs more because its a labtop... 2nd they get to be big that they might as well be desktops lol.. 3rd ofcourse everything breaks down once the warranty runs out and they arent easily upgraded. You can build a PC with same or more power and buy the 360 with your total cost being smaller than the labtop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Beat GH3 on Medium, I enjoyed it. Its catching A LOT of flak because I guess people hate change, but the Battle modes to me are real fun. You could really hear the Rage/Audioslave sound in the Morello battle. As for The Devil Went Down to Georgia.....wow.....I thought my hand was going to fall off after playing that, AND Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce right after it.

Yeah I agree on the online battles - very cool idea. It took me like 10 tries to get it to work (kept getting "failed to connect") but eventually I battled a guy through 7 songs - good time. What "change" are people talking about? Besides from a few graphical changes the game is the same, if not better in some ways. The pull off/hammers seem to be a lot smoother/easier in this version.
