Video Game Catch-All Thread

New GTAIV trailer. WOW. Graphics just so clean and crisp.

 

Only 1 month now.

[SnB]

just won back to back cups with the hawks in nhl 08.........in 2012 and 13. These weren't cups because the difficulty was too low either, both were just a blast to play and back and forth. (I only play saturday regular season games, sim the rest, then play the playoffs). I've had such realistic results with this game it's been amazing. This has gone down as the only videogame where I've wanted my 2nd championship more than the 1st.

Super Mario Galaxy is sweet. I know I'm a little behind on this, but wow.

I hope you have the updated rosters -- By-fuuug-lin's slap shot is f***ing awesome in that game. I score at least half of my goals online with a Byfuglien slap shot that the goalie gets a piece of but it ends up trickling in.

Pre order Metal Gear Solid 4 now and you can participate in the beta.

Haha sweet (for GTAIV);

 

Apparently there's a comedy club in-game, and you can watch real comedians perform routines, including none other than Ricky Gervais of The Office and Extras fame!

Haha sweet (for GTAIV);

 

Hah, thats nice...I'm looking forward to GTA4, I may even break my longstanding tradition of buying games and letting them sit unopened for 3-4 months. I still have Link's Crossbow Training, Ghost Squad, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and Emergency Mayhem unopened for the Wii, and Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and Burnout Paradise for the 360 to open as well.

 

I need more hours in the day.

[Steve9347]

I need more hours in the day.

I too need more hours in the day. I've had this game pre-ordered for a few months, and all signs point to it being one of the best ever. I wonder how many people will spare Gervais's life?

[iWiN4PreP]

the 28x6 idea is awesome lol

[Steve9347]

Holy crap, GTA IV is supposedly going to have the best multiplayer available... along with the best game. I've got mine pre-ordered. The different multiplayer games look awesome and can be read about at IGN.

 

I've inserted the below image to give everyone an idea. 16 people can play online in one environment and raise hell or enforce the law. As you can see below, this group of online hoodlums decided to jump for the water below to escape. The possibilities for the online multiplayer will be endless and I can't wait until Tuesday! (4/29) This is seriously going to be the most immersive and massive game of all time.

 

 

Here's another screen shot from the online multiplayer.

 

 

Also, from one of the developers...

 

How large is this Liberty City compared to the version in GTA III?

 

Garbut: In terms of pure landmass its roughly three times as big. But it's far more dense, varied and detailed. I didn't actually realize how much more dense and detailed until I reminded myself just now by overlaying the two maps. There is so much more of everything in GTAIV.

 

 

BWAHAHAHA, from the Cops and Robbers online game, lol. I don't know which would be more fun, flying the copter to catch the crook or being the crook. This game is going to be monumental.

I pre-ordered it as well and Im not normally one to do stuff like that.

Brett Favre=Madden coverboy

 

 

And it's a tough choice between Mario Kart and GTA4.

Eugh. P0rn for Madden to look at.

 

[Buehrle>Wood]

GTA4 gets the second ever perfect score in IGN's ten year history(the other of course being Ocarina of Time). Meh. No doubt it will be a classic, but a ten? Really?

[BearSox]

I'm going to wait until after school to get GTAIV but it will be certainly tough to hold off on.

no one could possibly have any interest in buying this game!

[Jenksismyhero]

I think im in the minority here, but i just dont understand the draw. I've owned the previous three versions and I always got tired of it after about 1/4 of the way through the game. I'd imagine i'll get it eventually, but i'm certainly not gonna rush out at 12 tues to pick it up.

 

Mario Kart Wii is solid, as to be expected. I really like the online play. Now if only we can get Goldeneye and Mario Tennis on the Virtual Console, my Wii experience would be complete.

[Buehrle>Wood]

Bought Mario Kart today as well and it is indeed awesome.

[Gene Honda Civic]

I played a few MK games online earlier today.... Missed most of the game because of it...

I'm no good yet, but it's pretty fun.

Bought and played Mario Kart today myself. The online playing is pretty good, though I sucked at it. Played the single player version and unlocked a few things, its an overall solid game.

 

GTAIV I will get this week, but I'm in no rush. I have still 5 unopened games for the 360/Wii sitting here gathering dust. It took me 3+ months to open Burnout Paradise alone, which is quite a fun game IMO.

I feel the same way. I can't get into any of the GTAs. I think it's because I have no attention span in that game -- I'll do a mission or two, then wonder how far the bodies will fly if I shoot rockets at people from the top of a building. Or I'll try to drive a car into a police helicopter. By that point I've already wasted an hour.

 

Today reiterated that not much is as fun as Smash Bros. with 3 friends. Picking up Mario Kart now w/ my $25 Amazon gift certificate. Also highly recommend Gamefly for pretty much anyone.
