Couldn't be a contender till I get a wheel & pedals - though if I get Forza I'll get them for the XBOX instead of the PC.Thanks for the offer on the paint scheme - that's cool.Anyone know if you can drive a Vibe GT XRS in Forza or GT4?

PC: World of Warcraft. Really nice for the casual gamer. The hubby and I played EQ for several years but can't commit the time anymore. WoW is great: you can log on, complete a quest in less than 30 minutes and get experience in the process. Our favorite board game is Imagine If.... Very funny with a few players, even better if you know each other well (or so you think!)....

Lets see, my list of games would have to be.PC: 3+yrs EQ1 , 3 months EQ2 , 6 months WoW -- The classics that I still play to this day can be UT2K4, CS, and WC3.PS2: Last game touched was like a month ago and it was Kingdom Hearts.Xbox: Did some Halo 2 (Live) which I'm canceling here soon.GC: Last used unknown, was Skies of Arcadia.PSP: I really haven't used my dad beat down on some Untold Legends.GBA: Breath of Fire 1 & 2 (playing as I talk)DS: I play Mr. Driller not a big fan of it I'm thinking of getting Yoshi Touch and Go or the Kirby game.I actully prefer hand-helds or the pc over any system that way I can more or less watch tv and game when I auto fight long battles.

I was always a console player, I liked relaxing on the couch with a controller in my hand and the tv in front of me with the surroundsound blaring in my ears... But there are some good PC games out there not on the consoles which means I gotta sit at my desk with a keyboard... lol so lately, I've done a lot of PC over console games... Ah well.

Myself: NR 2003 and Thunder 2004 on the PC.My wife: The Sims(1&2 with ALL the expansions) Tropico, and Sid Myers Pirates.

in Forza there is no vibe at all but they have the mazda 3 5door instead which i found out when i got the game i went to see what cars were available and the vibe was not one of them.

yeah GT4 has the most cars any racing game to date has ever had. I just wish since the game came out in 05, they had updated the vibes from the 03 to at least the 04 and were monotone instead of twotone... Still though I bought a black one and tuned it up pretty good with turbo and nitro. Not a bad little car. No lift though...

we should have everyone get the vibe on gt4, customize it then race them online with each other!!

I haven't installed that link system to do that cause the online function is not available but there is a program to get around that and do it anyway. We should though sometime for sure.

I'm actually pretty sick of racing games lately. I've been addicted to Puzzle Pirates for about 6 months though (http://puzzlepirates.com). If anyone joins up, look me up. My name on there is Bostonian.

Now I know a lot of members have eachother on msn, you guys play msn games together? I used to play checkers and stuff with my friends on msn.

I just picked up Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 last night. If you are a fan of the first 2 RCTs this one will blow you away. You can create your own fireworks displays for your park and the graphics are 100X better than the first 2 combined.

Quote, originally posted by GMJAP »Anyone know if you can drive a Vibe GT XRS in Forza or GT4?Sadly, neither a Vibe nor a Matrix are in Forza, but you can drive a few different Celica GT-S's (stock, APC, etc)

Was out shopping last week and bought Joint Operations and the expansion pack "Escalation" for the PC. Up to 150 people in a SINGLE map. This has to be the most fun I've had with an FPS in a long time.

Hope bought me the collector's edition to Resident Evil 4 released for the PS2 which has bonus features and levels above those on the Nintendo version released earlier this year. Been playing that a lot lately and have been unable to put it down. Games don't usually scare me or get my heart racing but RE4 certainly has a couple times. Its almost fun to die because of all the horrible new ways from the older RE games had. Usually you could die by taking damage from zombies to the point you died. Now there are traps, ambushes and simply some of the most twisted weird ways the undead try and kill you this time. They got smarter... some come armed with dynomite and chainsaws...I want to try out the western called Gun from the makers of tony hawke skateboard games. Its like GTA only western. Looks amazing and I've never played a western before.

Gun (removed) i am at the final boss now its AMAZING game, i would recommend renting it as its sort of short but you can do tons of side missions and just ride a horse around finding things and exploring. otherwise the new matrix path of neo is sweet. i have a ton of new games but im to drunk to remember atm

If I ever get the chance to play anymore I like to play some older games or games that are not so popular but still gotta love GT4!!!XBox- Speed Kings (not a big fan of XBox but I got it with my Pepsi point a long time ago)PS2- Kingdom Hearts, SuperBikes Isle of Man TT. GT 4

lately i've been rethinking my games collection. so i decided to sell my PC games. this damm chair is messing up my back.lol i'm a bit of a cheap skate when it come to myself. most of my xbox games came froma pawn shop. the last one i finfished a UNREAL 2. the game wasn't that bad. even cheap, got it for 7$ at a jard sell. anyways... it's really short and the loading times were mind painfull. i mainly bought it for online. i'm done with it now since one else is playing it online.i guess it's back to TOCA driver 2

I just finished Beyond Good & Evil on the PS2 this weekend. Good game, but not great. It was fun, some what easy, but the story was a little generic and you didn't really get to know the characters. I'm trying to go through my library of games and complete what I have. I just started GTA Vice City again this weekend. I bought it 3 years ago, didn't get far at all and it just sat on the shelf for the past 3 years. The Fall and Winter seem to be the time of year that I get back into video games, although the Fall and Winter of the past several years I had always been so busy with combination of college and work so I didn't play that much. Now, I only have work, so I have a lot more free time. Some games I have that I plan to finish sometime are:Metal Gear Solid 2 - got about 2/3 the way through several years ago, but haven't played it since. I'll start over and complete it.Kingdom Hearts - started it this spring, but didn't play much. GT4 - bought it when it came out, but didn't play much.Suikoden III, GTA III, ICO, Ratchet & Clank, Jak II, Ace Combat 4 - bought in the past 2-5 years, played a little, but was too busy with work/school and they sat on the shelf.So, maybe over this winter I'll complete some of these older games.

I love playing on my PC. I picked up a copy of Call of Duty 2 which I cannot wait to play. Also picked up Medal of Honor Pacific Assualt some fun times on line Also playing NHL 2006 and picking up FIFA 2006 next month.

My only complaint is the game is to short. I'm still searching for gold to mine as I got 37 of 44 mounds found. But the final boss was HARD! Amazing game and I hope they make another. I enjoyed the rancher missions, I wish I could have bought a ranch. Quick Draw is an awsome feature... those roaming bandits never have a chance. I wish there was more side missions and things to do. Like hunting buffalo, wolfs and what not for pelts. Ranching... I was spoiled by GTA San Andreas... the game should have been a lot more like GTA as far as things to do and overall size. The game is still amazing, I plan in replaying it on harder settings. Very well done in the voice acting department to. I own Beyond Good and Evil, haven't finished yet but its a pretty fun game though more for kids compared to what I usually play lol.

Check out www.yetisports.orgYou have to register to play, but it's kind of fun. I like CONTRA (penguin tennis).

Anyone play Battlefield 2? I just got a copy of it today and can't wait to play it. After that its on to Call of Duty 2.

After that its on to Call of Duty 2.I downloaded both demos and going to buy Call of Duty 2 and maybe later I'll get BF2. I been playing Joint Operation for the last month. Millster and I team up in the same game a couple times. Lol, I seen a Rebel frag his (removed), so I put the cross hairs on at 200 yards and took him out.

Yeah, that Rasermon... always got my back. I still want to know why I'm not racking up any stats for that game. I played again last night, hit the end and still nothing.

we should all get Battlefrield II or something and have a meet of sorts, I'm not to good at first person shooters. I usually go by the ign of Bulls Eye heh.

Well, Joint Operations would be a good choice. 150 people per server should get a lot of us together.

I'll have to look it up.

Does anyone play Killzone or SOCOM (1st one) online for the PS2? I recently got the adapter and head set, but haven't played much online yet. Anyone want to try to set up a time to all play?

hey justin! heck yes i have all socom's!! i have killzone somewhere ill look for it later today, we should play online

Cool! I need to practice Socom. I only played it online once a couple weeks ago, didn't really know what I was doing and haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Killzone I know how to play, I'm just not a pro like so many people online are. Just let me know when you want to play.Later,

so is Battlefield 2 pretty demanding on the PC?

Quote, originally posted by Mavrik »so is Battlefield 2 pretty demanding on the PC? Yes it is! The load times can be long and the graphics are very demanding. All in all though it is worth while! Played it last night (till 6:30AM lol) really lots of fun.

Quote, originally posted by Mavrik »so is Battlefield 2 pretty demanding on the PC?it really is a cpu and a ram pig....but it really is a wild game to play when u can play the game the way it is ment to be played..with no lag and the resolution at max. .....the longest i have played it was for almost 10 hrs straight.lol......eveyone should try this game.

I bought Call of Duty 2 yesterday. It has the best graphics I have seen for a FPS game. Holy crap! It came with 6 CD's just to install. Very little lag at times with my BFG 5500 NVIDIA card.

Boy was I wrong.It looks great, I wonder if it plays well... Doom3 also looked great, but I felt like I paid $50 for a proof of concept program... Anyway - I'm currently addicted to Civ4... just one more turn.

Anyone watch G4 lv last night with the 360 launch? They previews and reviewed a few of the release games. Looks like most of the launch is first person shooters. CoD2 and Perfect Dark to name a few. I'd join you in Battlefield 2 but I'm not much into first person shooters... I do meet up with some of the genvibers in Guild Wars though. Usually on weekends.

Ive been playing NFS : Most Wanted a lot lately, sweet game, BUT i have a interesting find...the xbox version looked meh, had lots of jaggies, but i loaded ps2 version up and it looked really good....no jaggies. yess, interesting.

No jaggies = dual core video processing unit... it's got good specs. It's just insanely priced.
