Running video games (and consoles) thread

I was a Sony guy from the start, but switched to XBox rather quickly -- especially considering the XBox was $100 or more less expensive than the PS3.

 

Anyone bought/played MLB 2K11 yet? I'm thinking of getting it tomorrow, but reading some reviews online leave me hesitant to drop 60 bucks on a game that really didn't change much from last year.

 

The few reviews I've read haven't been good. The AI isn't very good. In one game, it left Johnathan Broxton in for six innings of a 13-inning game.

Also, 2K didn't give out any preview copies to reviewers, which is usually a bad sign.



Personally, I'm going to wait for Tiger Woods: The Masters on March 29 instead.

 

I may just go out and get a copy of 2K10, since I still have a dynasty saved that I haven't touched in months.

 

Yeah, I'm going all in on the Tiger game this year. Haven't bought a next gen golf game yet and Augusta National sold me on the new game. "Can't wait." -- Bart Scott

 

I preordered TW:12 I was so stoked about the National being on there. I have never preordered a game before.

I just finished Fallout 3. Great game. Still working my way through Gran Turismo 5.

Should I get Fallout New Vegas?

 

Yes.

New Vegas has good replay value because you can align yourself with three or four different sets of people and go back and play all of the missions with the different alliances in mind. You can probably find a used copy now for a decent price, too.

 

I think New Vegas is down to $29.99 at Target now.

 

Still going to be full of bugs. Amazing game, but I still haven't finished it because I can't get by the damn bugs.

 

True. The freezing thing frustrated me to no end. I've never played a game that locked up as much as New Vegas did.

 

I'm more mad about what happened with Boone. They give a sniper character the greatest follower in the history of gaming, and there comes a point when he will just stand still and stop following you. I love my character, and I deal death from 1000 yards, but without Boone taking shots along with me and lighting up enemies on the horizon it just lacks a little awesomeness.

 

OK, I dove in headfirst. Picked up XBox 360, Kinnect and Homefront in one fell swoop.

This is not the Pong, Intellivision nor Atari of my (misspent) youth.

Now, if I can decipher all the how-tos. ???
