Running video games (and consoles) thread

Ah ... 100 percent in GTA IV. Oddly satisfying achievement. Ended up saving the random characters for last, and the Eddie Low thing was the creepiest thing I've ever seen in a video game. Gross.

ANYWAY ... NCAA 10 out tomorrow...who's pumped?

I am and I'm about to go out and get it right now. It's officially football season!

Do you have a 360?

I'm on PS3.

Anyone have NCAA '10 and want to give their opinion? I'm dying to get it, but I want to be damn sure it's worth the money, seeing as I should probably be pinching my pennies.

I'll be requesting it from Gamefly just as soon as they send me The Bigs 2 & I get through that.

I'll give you an impression in a few ... finishing up the VT roster. I was going to do rosters for all of my opponents, too, but I just realized that I don't feel like it. Four years into the dynasty, all the names will change anyway.

Wait a few days Cosmo & someone will have them done. Then you can go to their EA Sports Locker & download them.

I don't have that sort of patience.

First impressions ... (last college game I bought was NCAA 08 for the PS2).

-- The recruiting is just so incredibly detailed and deep. It's almost overwhelming at first. But I'm starting to get into a rhythm with it in the preseason. But no, EA Sports, I will not dole out extra cash in the PS store for an extra pipeline state or a recruiting advisor.

-- Gameplay is sensational, graphics beautiful. The stadium details are amazing. Decided to play the Oregon-Boise State game just to get used to the controls before heading into my dynasty. Details like the mountains behind the stadium, the late day sun splashing shadows on the field, etc. Makes it really fun.

-- I'm not the one to ask if this is any better than NCAA 09 for the PS3/360, but I'm loving it so far.

It's definitely better than NCAA 09, but the recruiting is by and large the same, which is OK with me, because I was a fan of the recruiting.

Like you said, though, the gameplay flat out rocks.
