Star Fox Command is really good. It's very fun and has very strong multi-player. It has the same control technique as Metroid Prime Hunters, but you only need one button on the DS it self (shoot), which makes control easier and very intuitive, actually.

I'd rank that game up with MarioKart DS and Dragon Quest Heroes (which are arguably, the two best DS games to date).

The only bad part is the actual plot is so-so, and the game it self is pretty short, but there is actually replay value, since there are paths you cannot go down the first time through. The game also has a tactics element which is pretty well done.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

assassins creed looks sick.
GTA4
MGS#
Halo3

I may get a Wii so I'll get excited about those games when it happens.

But #1 is EP2, thats all I need. TF2 and Portals are just 16 pounds of icing on the cake.

Crono Crono shhhhhhhh. Take a Chill Pill, have a panadol.

I just find/found it the most boring game ever. Go through a level killing un-challenging enemies, get to the boss who is like the same every time. Move onto the next world and do the exact thing again. And apart from the intro and ending movies (more on that later) the rest is just seeing the boss explode. They re-used the exploding sound effect in every movie :o.

I promised that we would get back on the topic of movies so here we are. The ending movie was like, wtf? Anyway, it was probably a game for the fans to enjoy and say (as you did) an fps on a hand held console.

Crono I think that I should give you my freind "Nick" 'z email adress so you two guys can talk about nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto all day :P. No really I should.

BioShock
Crysis
Half-Life 2: Episode 2, TF2, Portal

They come just in time for their required hardware to become affordable.

I heard that the playable version of Crysis at E3 wasn't running at it's highest settings and the machines were high-end (Like, 4GB of memory and a GF8800GTX) and there was still some lag issues. I imagine those will be taken care of through optimizations, however. (I hope they are)

Will I need to upgrade my OS to run any of these? I have Windows 2000. (No, I don't give a sh** about Halo 2 on Vista, Aaron <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif">)

Any of the DX10 only games, you will need to upgrade to vista.

F***, that's right, DX10 is Vista-exclusive.

Crysis runs on XP and Vista as does Gears of War. There are cracks out right now that get Halo 2 and Shadow Run to work on XP as well.
Lost Planet supports both operating systems too.

There's nothing "good" that is Vista only at this point in time.

Halo 2 for XP already?!?! Claims that nothing "good" runs on Vista?!?!

Would you like to "Cancel or allow?"

Hmm, so games in the near future will only run on Vista because Vista will be the only operating system supporting DX10, and the games will require DX10?

That kind of sucks. Most of the "XP games" have support for older operating systems like Windows 2000, right?

I was playing around with my dads Vista Laptop earlier today and man, Vista is a piece of crap. I installed a game than some dumbass window came up and said that the setting's that I used "May" not be compatible with Vista and there was a button on the window that says "Re-Install With recommended settings". OMG.

But we will all have to one day resort to Vista or move onto another OS like mac. We can't just stay in the dark ages.

And as far as I know, all games that work on Xp also work on 2000.

Thanks to the wonderful irony of monopolism, the only games I have found not to work for Windows 2000 are games from Microsoft Game Studios. AoEIII even does work fine for Win2000, but you have to hack the installer to avoid an incompatibility abort.

What forced me to finally... "obtain" XP was that they are using an obscure and obviously unnecessary network feature that is - what a coincidence - only available on Windows XP.

They're perfecting their technique with DirectX10 now.

I wonder how many people, like me, are determined to never buy Vista. The last poll steam said only 6% of people have downgraded to vista... but that was like 4 months ago.

Well, I'm thinking of buying a full PC system next rather than building it myself so it might have Vista pre-installed.

So many games will need DirectX10... it sucks :/

There are a lot of people who don't ever want to get Vista, I know heaps. I don't ever want Vista but my next pc will probably have to be Vista.

Anyways I think Xp is the best Operating System out of em all.

I'll probably use it but never ever pay for it, I can tell you that. I hope other companies and operating systems will make their way into the OS market and make it more competitive. With only one major OS, and 95% of all popular games being playable on it alone, it isn't easy to just switch to another one for an average user, and M$ can make it as crappy as they want.

May I ask what different OSes you've tried? Just out of curiosity.

I have my current build set up to dual boot between XP and Vista. I haven't booted into Vista in about a month. Vista is bloated with all these "security" features that overall make the system harder to use. On top of that, figuring out how to disable that garbage is a job in its self. The control panel is crippled, even on classic view. Also, it doesn't even work correctly. Vista does not recognize what type of video card I have (Geforce 8800GTS) and refuses to let me install the correct drivers for it. I have tried everything from updated mother board drivers to BIOS updates, all amounting to nothing. I gave up and have yet since booted into Vista. Its trash at the moment. </rant>
