Running video games (and consoles) thread

As long as you pay for the Gold membership for Xbox Live, you can over online. No need to upgrade from the arcade edition. Does it come with a hard drive?

 

Just finally got through The Bigs. It took me more than two months. That's the Halo affect for you.

 

had the bigs for the wii -- it was awful. mlb power pros is fun, though

 

Picked up Guitar Hero III today. Awesome stuff!

 

There's no hard drive on the Arcade version. It's not a bad deal, but more than likely, you'll want/need that hard drive sooner rather than later. Go with the Premium.

 

The game got pretty solid reviews and I had a hell of a time playing it. I wonder if that was the Wii affect. Maybe they didn't take full advantage of the controls.

 

the controls were awful... and they didn't do what power pros did, which was make it so you can play without the wii controls

 

That's probably the problem. I thought it played pretty well, minus a few fielding hiccups which cost me the perfect game achievement on 360.

 

I'm looking for a controller for my PC games I play with the keyboard. Any recommendations? I don't have Nintendo, Xbox or any other consoles.

 

I just saw an ad in a magzine that allows you to use a Xbox 360 controller for PC Games. Goal, when I get home, I'll forward you the information.

 

Anybody besides me excited that Manhunt 2 is FINALLY being released on Tuesday?

 

The best PC game controller is the Xbox 360 wired. Or wireless if you have Vista and the wireless adapter.

Comfortable, versatile and officially supported by a lot of games. The d-pad isn't fantastic, but you can map the left analog stick to be used as a d-pad if you desire.
