Playbox 360: Gamers HQ

[Keeper]

It doesn't seem completely out of the realm of possibilities that some TTPers may own and feverishly play either a Playstation, XBox, or both.

Perhaps, then there may be a demand for reviews, or maybe even some trades, exchanges, or rentals between TTPers.

Feel free to list any games/systems you may own and enjoy. If you're open to trading or lending any of your games out, mention that too. Or, just take a moment to review any games you may have had the opportunity to experience.

------------------------------

To start:

I've got a PS2, but only own 2 games.

1. Grand Turismo 4. Great game, but only about 55% through. Can't lend this out for another year or two.

2. James Bond: Everything or Nothing. Picked this up just after Christmas, and I quite enjoy it. It's a bit reminiscent of Nintendo's old Goldeneye. Only $25 new, since it's been out for at least a year and a half already.

PS2 for Christmas...

Carpel tunnel developing in both thumbs and wrists and I'm I'm only 5 games in to my Madden 06' season. Fifa 06' tops my list of wants as does Tiger, tiger woods ya'll .

Zenga any chance of an EA hook up?

I had both until my PS2 crapped out. Now I'm stuck with my goddamn X-Box and, I have to say, what a load of bollocks it is. And X-Box 360 ain't no better. I go to Blockbuster and stare at all the rad PS2 games that aren't licensed for X-Box (Socom, etc.). Then I go home and cry myself to sleep. Why me, why me? Can't wait 'til PS3 is out then I can go all "office space" on my X-Box in the middle of a field somewhere. Piece of shite.

Allright, I'll admit Fifa 06 for X-Box ain't bad. As you can imagine, my Liverpool squad is pretty successful.

Dap, i cant believe what Im reading! By the time your PS2 loads up I have played four FIFA games on my Xbox. Xbox load times are way faster and the games look and play better!

But I have to admit working in the industry has killed my gaming, before I started working at EA I would play every night, now I hardly play and the only game I do play is NHL 2006.

We do get the odd CounterStrike games going at work! Thats my favorite PC title.

KNVB if your squad bottles a few games and lets us catch up Ill get you the EA 06 line up, deal?

Zenga, I've only said this to a hand full of people in my life time as well as a couple of pets, mostly goats, but I think... I love you.

Lets talk fella.

I own a PS2 and an X-box. I bought the PS2 a few years back and decided to go with that one at first because it had more selection of games. However, last year i went out and bought an X-box because of some of the games that the PS2 doesn't have. Mainly: Halo, Halo 2, Fable, and the Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic ( excellent games not playable on the PS2). Now the only time i play PS2 is if it is a game that X-box doesn't carry, because I agree with Zenga that the X-box has quicker load times and the games generally look better.

Cheers, jr.

PC gaming all the way!

Call of Duty 2 - get it, love it, pretend all the German soldiers are TR and Keeper... gets me through the day, let me tell you

 

[knvb]

That's all well and good, but if you're me, (1) you're much better looking, and (2) your cell phone has more memory than your computer...

 

[Argyle]

SOCOM, SOCOM II OR SOCOM III played online is the only way to go!

 

[zenga]

PC gaming is the way to go for the first person shooter games.

Consoles (Xbox, PS2) for sports games all the way.

Loving this thread!

 

[Argyle]

I have played the Medal of Honor games online for the PC, but what are some other good ones?

 

[LION]

Fifa 2006. PS2.
anyone play online? lets battle!

 

[Keeper]

I don't know too much about SOCOM besides the fact that you can insult each other over the headset you wear. On the other hand, it sounds like a great multiplayer game except the fact that you have to wear the headset.

As far as PC games go... I can't even begin to estimate the number of endless hours I wasted playing Diablo, Diablo II, and the expansion pack. Good times, man, good times.

 

[trece verde]

I vote for Pong. Why doesn't anybody else play it anymore?

 

[Dapotayto]

Zenga, yes X-box load times are quicker and the games may look a little better (a little better) but the X-box variations are Microsoft products and as such are glitchier than hell. And for me the titles and style of games available only on Playstation smoke X-box's lineuup. Halo? Gimme a break. I've never been so bored in my life playing that game. I can't wait 'til PS3 is here.

Click this link to see a nice video of Guinness playing Football Manager. He takes his footy seriously, I tell you.

What the hell kind of commercial is this?
