Running video games (and consoles) thread

Fallout 3 is crack. I've seriously played that game like 120 hours and I'm not even close to finished with it.

 

Damn straight! Fallout 3 is great. Blowing up Megaton is one of the more surprisingly enjoyable things I've done in a video game.

 

I'm deciding between NCAA Football 10 and Madden 10. I can be persuaded to join your league if I get Madden.

 

Awesome, you will be persuaded if you get it.

 

I just got Madden 2010 for PS3, so if anyone wants to play online, let me know.

 

OK. So I just got the Platinum trophy for Infamous. Talk about a bitch. Woo.

That being said, great, great game. Word of advice though. If you're going for platinum, prepare to spend a lot of time. Collecting 350 blast shards and doing the 21 stunts is not for the impatient.

I have now amassed three Platinums in my relatively brief gaming career (Started playing on Black Friday) and will now attempt to conquer God of War and God of War II. Wish me luck.

 

Just got NHL 2K10 for Wii. It's so realistic that my son thought I was playing the game when he came in the room and I was watching a real game.

It's pretty intimidating to figure out at first, but by day 3 I had it down enough to play a competitive game vs the computer. There are ways to adjust the computers skill level, so you just have to get that right till youre competitive.

 

Fixed to reflect most gamers I know.

 

LOL. That's not me. That's no fun.

As I get better I'll make the computer better.

Most lopsided game I had since adjusting was a 6-3 win. Another 4-1 win. Other games all 1-goal games, including 3 shootouts. Scoring frequency is realistic too.

 

I hate that. I want to win, but I want the games to be competitive. If I start winning like that I always move up in levels. My Caps franchise is pretty good in NHL 10 (as it should be, the Caps are a good team), but I'm winning most games by one or two goals. My only three-goal wins have come because I've hit empty netters. I start consistently winning 6-0 and such, I'll level up.

 

Also, I could use a stalwart ghoul manservant like Argyle. Just sayin.

 

I always went way too far in the other direction. Anything good that happened for my team in Madden meant the sliders got turned up.

I could play 15 minute quarters and get realistic stats, but I'd go 5-11 every season.
