HL2 ep2
TF2
UT3

that is all

The best part is I won't be able to run UT3 and I won't be able to get ep2 because it'll most certainly come only on dvd in retail. To hell with progress I say!

Wow, that's quite a list Crono. There's no way I could be anticipating that many games for a half-year span. Beyond the economics of it, I wouldn't have enough time to devote to each game. I'll probably buy that many more CD's before the year's out though.

I'm starting college in the fall, so I won't be able to get as many PC games (and my PC will need an upgrade to play Bioshock and Crysis, anyway).

I'll still get the orange box, though, and then I'll make some portal maps.

If anything, I'll upgrade my PC to get Unreal 3.

I'm limited to just my PC:

Gears of War
Unreal Tournament 3
Crysis
Half-Life 2: EP2/TF2/Portal
Call of Duty 4

However, I don't have any money left to pay for these games after upgrading my system with the 8800 GTS, the AMD 4800 X2, and two new monitors!

Take a look!: here

Multi-media goodness! Company of Heroes looks excellent btw!

For sure Halo 3, and also Bioshock and Grand Theft Auto 4. But Halo 3 for sure.

Valve stuff allows you to use the keys now over steam and just download it.

No. It's a more-classic style adventure game about pirate gold ... but fun.

CCS, yeah, it's a lot of games. I'll most certainly not get all of them. Which makes me sad in a way. But there's just a lot of really good looking games coming out this year (I have been looking forward to many of these games for well over a year). Pretty much every game I listed on the PC are games I really want to play (Kane & Lynch is of particular interest since it's made by Io Interactive and taking that it has the same play style as one of my favorite games made by them: Freedom Fighters ... well you get the idea).

I think the stuff I listed on DS and Wii are games I'll get over time, like the next 2-3 years.

There's just too many coming out, I'm not even listing stuff that I know comes out next year.

Natus, I'm interested to hear how Fury was. I picked up a key for the beta, but didn't have time to check it out. (A friend of mine told me he didn't get to play it because the f-ing updates took too long to download)

OMG Crono have you playen Metroid Prime on DS. Seriously worst game ever on any console in the last say 200 years. And it scored like a 9/10, are you kidding me. The game is so boring and the mutiplayer is like the most unbalanced thing ever. There is somthing wrong there.

Riven, since when is Gears of War on pc?

Consoles didn't exist 200 years ago. Your attempt at exaggeration is annoying and has utterly failed.

Worst game on any console? Are you retarded? If we're comparing, just in the realm of FPS', I can think of a worse console FPS' ... hmm.

It's a really well made game ... especially considering: IT'S AN FPS ON A HAND-HELD. You want to see a bad DS game? Pick up Lunar. (F*ck you UbiSoft!)

Gears of War has always been destined for the PC. Why? It's made by Epic. What is Epic? A PC game developer. Unreal Engine 3 was running on PCs like three years ago they just weren't finished with any games.

They just released Gears of War on Xbox first to get sales (and money from MS for moderate exclusivity, I gather).

Lionhead Studios does the same thing. Fable exclusive? Yeah, sure it is.

Not that games on the Xbox stay exclusive anyway.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

? quoting Crono

No way! I guess I don't plaster it all over the place like in the past but I (still) have a 24kbs dialup connection, which means not only can I not use steam or digital distribution but I can't even play any source game online cause I get autokicked for too high a ping. I love that server setting so much Even better is when they lock the rate really high and won't let you reduce it, which makes your high ping even higher.

Oh and Metroid Prime1 is worse than Halo1. If I wanted my hand held through a 3d regurgitation of Super Metroid where I wouldn't die even if I tried I'd go plug in the SNES, use a game genie, and take some LSD.

Golden Eye: Double Agent
That's a much worse DS game (and it's an FPS to boot) than Metroid Prime for DS. It was like playing Doom on a screen that's too small to see any enemies that, incidentally, have no problem seeing and shooting at you.
My only problems with Metroid were how tired my hand got after holding my DS in one hand for half an hour. That and the story sucked, but gameplay was good...for a hand-held FPS.

Crono - I hope you get to play Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. We're working hard to finish it right now. I designed 3 levels for the game and am currently scripting all the gameplay for 4 levels. It's been a fun project and the game is looking more and more beautiful every day!

Stadric, The two DS games that make my hand cramp are Metroid and Star Fox. SF, of course, is substantially better than Metroid (even if the plot is worse).

Finger, cool.

Are those weird break-lines gone from the building collapsing in the city (I don't remember the name ... the big one). I saw a video being demoed by some Insomniac-type, where Ratchet was grinding down a rail while the city was being destroyed. While it was pretty nice, overall, at one point this building begins falling in the background ... and it looks terrible. There were some serious graphical errors (surfaces disappearing). Do you have any idea of what I'm talking about?

The only bad news I have for you, is I'm not going to play the game any time soon. I don't know anyone who has a PS3, and I'm certainly not buying one for a couple years, and even then, not new. It's got to drop 5 pounds and $350 for me to even consider it.

I've got hand cramps from Brain Age, holding it above my head and writing in the numbers with the same hand. (Yes, I actually did that.) I never played Star Fox because I heard it was a b**** and a half to control.
