[DynoMite]

Yeah tons of games come out around this time of year. I'm always out of money by the end of November.

EDIT: Who are Zazu and Medic! Also, welcome Cody.

[IsaakFenris]

Zazu is starfyre.

[Medic!]

I'm me. :x:

Heh, I'm guilty_spark.

[Grey Angel]

FABLE. Where the hell is grey angel?

Also dead space.

Im going to be POOR.


Don't fear, Fable is here! LOL!

But no, really, Fable 2 is awesome, and now that I'm back, I won't leave you hanging, I got you.

Anyways, from what I understand, NFS: Undercover is based in this huge city that'll take about 8 minutes to explore, just by following the outrims of the city with the fastest car. Sounds a little weird, but basically, it's huge. STory wise, they said it's suppossed to be the deepest storyline of any NFS game thus far, spinning you in the middle of this huge undercover deal, more than likely you being the undercover cop trying to bust some major bad dude, or you could be that major bad dude, so yea....

And for October, I say... I have no idea. I have WiFi for my Wii, but I never am able to play against others, probably because I've tried open lobby battles and no one joins. LOL!

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Hehe, split. (http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=572924)

[Cody!]

I'm just wondering, who is going to get Socom: Confrontation? I think it's gonna be a good gamem but I'm still waiting to get a PS3 to get it. If you guys get it let me know how good it is.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I know I'm not a member here but I saw the question. I played the beta version of it and it seems like a cool game. I've never really played a Socom game but do play Counterstrike and it seems like a fun game. The graphics are awesome and the level they let us play was awesome in an urban desert type city. A couple of people on my PSN friends list have the beta or whatever is out now and they play it all day long. It must be good.

[Blue Phoenix]

Fable

Shut up.

I think we need a Game Title Hangman for October.

It seems like a really good game. I have Socom: Combined Assault for the PS2 and i love that game. I don't play it online much anymore because most of the people that play it now all use cheatcodes and it's kinda dumb when I'm getting one-shotted everytime and they don't die.


I think we need a Game Title Hangman for October.

I think that would be cool. That sounds like a good idea to have a Game Title Hangman

[DynoMite]

No hangman (http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=445131) But we could do something with game titles.

[Grey Angel]

Shut up.

I think we need a Game Title Hangman for October.


Hey, I take offense to that! Fable is freaking awesome!

Anyways, I think the Hangman idea is a little restricted. You'd have to make it fair for everyone and make it very difficult if everyone is going to participate.

[Blue Phoenix]

Unless tht's been updated recently, there's no ban on hanman, just hangman style posts. It's the players' responsibility to make sure they have more post content to avoid SPAM.

But if you still say no I'm open to other ideas.

Hey, I take offense to that! Fable is freaking awesome!

... Shut up.

[Grey Angel]

... Shut up.

For that, hecks no. I will not tolerate being told what to do. And for that, I'm going to tell you straight up, there's a reason Fable is talked more about than SOCOM. Only reason people are talking about it is because you brought it up. No one knew about it, and yet, everyone knew about Fable, does that tell you something? If not, then maybe you should learn to pay attention.

The worst part is you are insulting me because I am expressing my devotion to a game in a thread where what we talk about is games, not even just a thread, a club, the entire site is based off of games and yet you tell me to shut up. That my friend, is very wrong, and you still have the gall to tell me to shut up. I will not shut up, I will express myself freely the way I want to, and if it's about a game I have a great passion for, then so be it, but don't descriminate me man, I'mn not trying to sound mean, but dude, that is totally wrong.

Excuse my rant, but I am not going to take thatm, especially after I've already been banned, no way man, no way.

[DynoMite]

Well, I guess we could try the hangman. I really have very little confidence that people won't post spam, but it's their warning.

[Immortal_Knight]

Hmm....how about trivia? Like we could go console specific or something, but as far as i know there isnt alot of video game trivia currently active (unless the fighting games trivia thing is still around...)

[DynoMite]

We've already done 2 Trivia things and I was going to save that for January. I think Hangman is fine. So, I would have the blanks, and do I give you guys clues? The more clues, the less points? I never play hangman in FOG.

[Blue Phoenix]

Oh hell no. You just caught me at the WORST time.

I'm not going to sit here and take sh*t from you just because you couldn't tell a bit of goddamn sarcasm. Maybe you should get your head straight and think about who I am, they way I act, and do I really mean something I say before you ever confront me again.

I already have a thing against people being a bitch towards me. It's one thing to do that, its an entirely other thing to do it while I'm pissed off. And yes, I'm extremely pissed off at the time of reading that post.

Also, note this.

after I've already been banned

You've been banned before, huh? Well atlease I know how to follow rules.

Bottom line, don't f*ck with me unless you're sure of what you're doing, and even then know that you're getting yourself into something.

I'm done with this. Take it to the thunderdome or PM if you want but I won't respond to anything else about this you post in this thread.

[Coleman]

Take it down a notch, Phoenix. Next time you post something like that, you get a warning. In the future YOU take it to PM or the Thunderdome.

[Grey Angel]

I just though of something! A Halo 3 tourny! But then I also realized that I wouldn't be able to participate anytime soon considering I need to buy something to hook my Xbox up to the router downstairs.

But yea, personally, still pretty iffy on the hangman thing.

[GwJumpman]

Speaking of which, I'm back.

[Immortal_Knight]

WB jumpman. And I can't also believe i'm saying this, but i totally agree with something colemans done.... and thats rare.

[Grey Angel]

So... Fable 2 this upcoming Tuesday! WHOOO!

Anyways, on a different note, I heard Dead Space was supposed to be awesome, but honestly, that game scares the **** out of me. They say it's supposed to be the scariest horror survival game thus far, and I never did so well with any type of game in that category, but who knows, it might break that wall down for me.

[DynoMite]

Dead Space looks interesting, but I have limited funds. I am only getting about 3 , maybe 4 games this year. Those are Gears 2, Fallout 3, and maybe Fable II, and maybe Mirrors Edge.

[IsaakFenris]

So... Fable 2 this upcoming Tuesday! WHOOO!


Hells yea.

Dead Space looks interesting, but I have limited funds
I shat my self. I was like, pshaw this game isnt scary. Then it was 7pm and it was night time and all the lights were off and i became, "F*CK F*CK F*CK! GET OFF ME, SH*T! Melee MELEE MELEE!! SH*T NO GRENADES?!?! ARRGGHH!!"

And the only reason im back is just that i wanted to tell Grey angel that i might be able to play with in fable once midterms are over in about a week.

[DynoMite]

Is it really that scary? I've played Resident Evil and Silent Hill, is it worse than that?

[IsaakFenris]

yea. Not as bad as condemned but when you die, its like. . . damn .. . . .

[Cody!]

dang. What happens when you die?

[Blue Phoenix]

I'm sure it wouldn't bother me.

Hell, if I can watch Final Destination in sheer darkness and not get scared then I'm prettu sure a horror game wouldn't bother me either.

[Grey Angel]

Aww, that movie was awesome! I saw all 3 (or 4) movies so far, I love them! It's just the fact that they all try to escape from death, but he gets them all! LMAO! Nice try kids, but Death kills all who need to die.

But yea, I actually saw the comparison between the 360 and PS3 version of Dead Space, and the game actually looked really cool, I mean, still scared about it, but dude, I am willing to crap my pants every night to play that game. LMAO!

Oh, and about my Xbox live, just to let everyone know, I need to buy a wall converter so I can convert my wall jack into an ethernet jack, so yea, hopefully when I buy fable 2 i'll get it. But man, i got lucky! My friend ordered me the Limited Edition since I was looking for it, so i'm going to pay him back when he gets it from the mail, and after i cancel my reservation at gamestop. Those losers.

[IsaakFenris]

dang. What happens when you die?

Its How you die actually.

there are some parts where you are grabbed by a tentacle and dragged to a hole. The second one really disturbed me because you are dragged to hole so you have to shoot the tentacle in a specific spot before you reach the hole. If you fail to do it. . . well. .. . lets just say you try to escape but you are dragged in the hole and die.

The final boss. . . god damn. . . was like played like a mouse played like a cat, then eaten and ripped apart slowly.

[Grey Angel]

LMAO! Man, I think you have just convinced me to get the game, thanks Isaak, now I'm gonna cr@p myself every night I play the game. LOL!

[Cody!]

haha. that sounds crazy.

[Grey Angel]

Yea, I finally picked up my copy of fable 2! Limited Edition! FREAKING AWESOME! I just can't play it fully until I hook up my interent for Xbox Live. So, if I do play, I have to delete the data to start over. LOL! That's possible, right?

[DynoMite]

I've decided to get Fable 2 if I have money after I buy everything else I want. I want Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Guitar Hero: WT, and Fable 2. In order of importance.

What is everyone's favorite game of the past year?
Favorite console game: Call of Duty 4
Favorite downloadable game: Portal <3

[FalconZero]

Favorite console game: Brawl
Favorite downloadable game: Mega Man 9 <3

[Blue Phoenix]

Favorite console game: Brawl
Favorite downloadable game: Mega Man 9 <3

This, since I really haven't bought/played many others that came out this year.

Vote me for poorest person who has to stay retro because he can't afford new games. (Not that I don't love old games ;o )

[IsaakFenris]

Fave: None


Im going to pick up fallout 3 tonight.

[Grey Angel]

I have to say... either COD4 or Brawl, both very good games in my opinion. Yea, that's it for me.

[DynoMite]

Im going to pick up fallout 3 tonight.

I have too much schoolwork to go tonight, but I'll definitely be getting Fallout 3 tomorrow.

[Cody!]

I'd say that COD4 is my favorite game. I do't own a system that I can play it on but I borrowed my uncles PS3. It's a great game

[IsaakFenris]

I have too much schoolwork to go tonight, but I'll definitely be getting Fallout 3 tomorrow.

Did you ever get fall out?

My small arms is at its maximum and nothing can kill me. Except for the occasional mine or huge ass boss monster.

[Haze]

I've been playing a free FPS Multi-Player online game lately. It's called Combat Arms, you guys should try it out. :^:

[DynoMite]

Did you ever get fall out?

My small arms is at its maximum and nothing can kill me. Except for the occasional mine or huge ass boss monster.

Yeah, I have it. But it picked a hell of a bad week to come out. I don't have any time at all to play it. I might get some time in tomorrow, but I don't really want to start it until I have time to devote to is.

[FalconZero]

So my dad found an assload of Xboxes where he works, and he brought one home (he's allowed to, the stuff has been abandoned for months), so I finally got one! He also found a few games, so it's not just sitting there. I plan on selling it soon, though. I'm gonna use the money to buy an Elite. How much do you think I could get for it?

Note: The ORIGINAL Xbox, 2 controllers, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Madden 07, and Tony Hawk's Underground 2.

[Grey Angel]

I'd say enough for at least a regular 360, and maybe a game or controller, but I'd bring some extra cash just in case. Since they're pretty old and not high for demand now, they probably won't give you too much for them.

[DynoMite]

I've started playing Fallout 3, and wow, is it great. The only reason why I'm not playing it now is because it crashed and I'm hungry. But really, I recommend it to everyone. Amazing game.

[Medic!]

Hey guys- I've probably been kicked out for inactivity by now, but I want to make a quick announcement.

I've been grounded from the computer for the past month, and I don't see that ban lifting any time soon. So, in any case, this is going to be my last post for a very long time. As soon as I'm able to, I'll be back, but don't expect to hear from me for a long while.

You guys have been great. I'll see you all when I get back. :)

-Mike

[IsaakFenris]

I just beat fallout 3.



God i need a life.


Also, i beat all the good games for xbox 360 currently. Now for gears of war 2.

[Grey Angel]

I technically beat fable 2 about 2-3 days ago, I was just bored because I couldn't find my wife, and later on, she appears saying she divorced me, total bull. Anyways, I finished the Archeologist quest, and I swaer, she better be happy I'm good, or i would've kept that gem for myself, so lucky.

Hey you should probably see if your dad can bring some others home and stuff. Sell some of em on ebay y'know? Prolly make more money that way.

That and i could use an xbox XD

He actually brought home another, but that one's heading towards Honduras right now. My brother always wanted an Xbox, so my dad looked for another one. He's found TONS of stuff worth selling, but that's going, too. -_-'

We could've made big money at the flea market or something.

I like to take RPGs slow, so it'll probably be a while before I beat it. I was going to try to beat it before Gears of War, but that isn't looking like its gonna happen. Oh man- too many games!

[White Rose]

Um... wow. Haven't been to GW in ages. >_>

I guess I'm just popping in to say hi, and I'm alive. (can't believe I haven't been kicked out for inactivity, lol)

I'm also still Wii-less... And the last two games I've gotten in like an eon were Castlevania: Order of Eccelsia, and Atelier Iris 2: Azoth of Destiny. I started OoE, but I'm not that far at all yet.

So uh.. yeah. Hi peoples. ^_^;

These games sound weird. Since i never heard of them.

[Grey Angel]

Agreed. If you have money, why not order a Wii online? They're all back in stock, from what I've seen. If you don't have enough money, then I'm sorry, because it sucks to be broke, I know exactly how you feel. The sad thing is it took me almost all year to save up money for Fable 2. LMAO! That's what happens when you go over on texting, and your mom finally offers you the option of unlimited texting on your last 2 months of service. LMAO!

[IsaakFenris]

Well its official. Im bored with video games.

I beat dead space, fable 2, fallout 3, and just yesterday, i beat gears of war 2.

[Grey Angel]

Hey, I beat Fable 2 as well. LOL! We should play online together and mess around. besides, it gets boring playing by yourself after a while. LOL!

Anyways, I'm going on right now since there's nothing else to do, later peeps.

[Cody!]

hey, I was wondering if any of you guys are getting NFS: Undercover. It seems interesting and I'm just wondering what your guy's opinions on the game are. Do you guys think it looks good, or not?

[Grey Angel]

As of now, it looks like the best NFS thus far, but I've heard that there are unlockables for the game already, or downloadables if you will. My friend went to the Playstation store the other day, and saw they had unlockable features for like, $2 each, which makes you think they invested alot of time into this.

Other than that, it seems to be a great game, story wise, I could care less, but they seem to have up-ed it a bit, you know? Overall, I think it'll get at least a 7.5 but with the downside of buying new cars from Xbox LIVE or what not.

[Cody!]

I'd have to get it from the Playstation Network. I only have a PS2 for now. But, I never knew the thing about the $2 unlockables.

[FalconZero]

I plan to get it as soon as I get my hands on a 360. I hate to say it, but if they have a Wii version, it's not worthy.

[Grey Angel]

That's only for PS3 and the 360 from what I'm awAre of, and I doubt it'll be on Wii, and if it is, I mean, c'mon, the kids need more mature racing games too you know.

[Cody!]

That's only for PS3 and the 360 from what I'm awAre of, and I doubt it'll be on Wii, and if it is, I mean, c'mon, the kids need more mature racing games too you know.

It's for the PS2, Wii, 360, PSP, DS, PS3, and PC. So ya it's on a lot of systems. I got this information from http://www.gamestop.com/browse/ProductMerch.aspx?groupid=279

[DynoMite]

I like racing games, but I don't have enough money to buy them. I only buy stuff I really want nowdays. Maybe someone will get it for me for Christmas?

[Grey Angel]

Man, I haven't received a viedeo game related item in years now! Ok, maybe not something big, but I've never gotten a game since I was a freshmen in high school, really sucks. I mean, I'd rather get NFS than GOW, in my opinion. Besides, I'm due for a racing game for my 360.

[~Black Dragon~]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Woah, am I really still a member in this clan? I haven't been active here since June or July... But anyway, have I missed a lot?

[Mr. Blue!]

Hey guys, Happy Turkey Day! Glad to see I'm still on the list, I figured I'd be off for inactivity. Anywho, I'm hoping to get a new generation system this Christmas, but until then I'm stuck on an old PS2 and my handhelds...

[Cody!]

Well, When I went to go get NFS I Found Call of Duty: Worl At War for the PS2 so I decided to buy that instead. I didn't even know they made that game for the PS2. haha.

[Grey Angel]

I'm too broke to buy games, but hey, I'm cool.... Okay, not really, but if I have money by Christamas shopping time, I'll be happy. I love splurging for present on my family. LMAO!

[FalconZero]

I just hope my parents take advantage of some sales that (hopefully) convince them to get me that Elite I've wanted for like a year now.

[DynoMite]

Okay, I got Gears 2 and now I am asking for Left 4 Dead for Christmas. Gears of War 2 is great, but after spending 10 days of my life playing cod4 online, it leaves a lot to be desired. The single player is fantastic though, but the online seems so archaic. If they did it like cod4 did, it would be the best game ever. I am feeling guilty about not wanting COD WaW. I just don't want to be sucked into it to tell you the truth. :P

The Game of the Year Event will be going up sometime this weekend, sorry for the inactivity.

[Grey Angel]

It's cool. I have yet to get enough money to buy present for my family, let alone get myself a new game. It's going to be a sad christmas for me. *sigh* Maybe next year I can get more games.

[Cody!]

I personally don't think COD WaW was that good of a game. It was fun but it's just not one of those games where u want to go back and play each level multiple times.

[Grey Angel]

Hey, how's everyone doing? Vacations are going well for you all I hope?

Anyways, just trying to spark this place back to life again, you dig? Yea, also, any suggestion on what game I should get before the year ends, or should I just wait until next year? I can probably afford one game, or if I'm lucky, my bro might chip in for something like say, Rock Band 2, any advice?

[Mr. Blue!]

Just an idea, but do you think that we should list the people who play WoW on the FP? Like they're server, main characters, etc.?

[FalconZero]

So I FINALLY got a 360 Elite. Kung Fu Panda is installing as I type this. I only have the games that came in my holiday bundle.

Recommendations?

[Grey Angel]

I would suggest halo 3, Call of Duty 4, and Gears of War 2. All are very famous and enjoyable, I also heard the new Call of Duty was better than 4, so maybe go for that one instead?

But, I can't really give more advice based on just that since I really don't know what types of games you're really into.

All those are off limits until I can get my parents to ignore the fact that they're rated M.

Anything else? I don't really care what you suggest as long as it's fun.

[Grey Angel]

Oh, that makes it more difficult. Well, on the Xbox LIVE market place, you can download Aegis Wings, it's free, pretty fun too. Umm, other than that, maybe... huh, thia is pretty hard.

If you can, maybe Rockband, unless they don't allow T, but I'm sure they'll let it slide. There's also Prince of Persia, maybe Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and yea, that's all I can think of, sorry dude.

[FalconZero]

They don't care if it's T rated. It's just the really gore-y games that they don't like.

[Grey Angel]

Halo doesn't have gore, it's only blood if anything. The others, yes, definitly, but not Halo in terms of dismemberment. But yea, other than that, can't think of anything else you can get away with, sorry dude.

[White Rose]

Hey guys, just thought I'd pop in and say hello.

...And uh, I finally got a Wii. And SSBB.

And Metroid Prime Corruption, and Zack and Wiki, and Super Paper Mario, and soon (I hope) Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. (Wii sports came with the Wii, of course.)

So... yay me? lol

No 360 or PS3 though. I do want a 360. For Tales of Vesperia and like two or three other games, but people say the Arcade model isn't really worth it... And I don't really want to buy one for a few games. >_>

[Grey Angel]

Wow, White Rose, still alive? NICE! Those are some pretty awesome games for the Wii, but I try not to get as many games for the Wii since my brothers hog it, besides, I'm happy with MLN Power Pros 2008, it's like MLB 08 the Show, but more anime-like. LOL!

Anyways, if you get a 360, you'd be able to play with us and what not, HALO 3! WHOO! besides, there are some pretty good games for the 360 as well, just haven't been able to afford any myself. Dante's Inferno seems very promising, but I'm getting it regardless because of the fact that I read the poem/story, and loved it. So creative and detailed, makes you want to learn more, heh. But chea....

[White Rose]

Yeah, I do want a 360, as I've said. But I've also debated getting one, because I only want it for a few games, and people have said the arcade model really isn't worth it in the end. You have to buy something separate for it to go online, which costs another hundred bucks or so... and the Arcade is already two hundred... >_>

And then there are the price of 360 games. <_< Tales of Vesperia is still sixty dollars. :\ Same with Eternal Sonata. (at least the last time I checked, it was.)

Also, I'm not really an FPS gamer... I play rpgs for the most part. And all of those being jrpgs. It makes up more than half of my game collection.

[DynoMite]

I'm such a liar, the game of the year thing is actually going to go up today, not two weekends ago. :P

What the hell, no Wii GotY? I realize its library is lacking, but we gotta be fair. I don't think Fallout 3 should be counted as a 360 GotY, since it's multi-plat.

I'll hold off my nominations, since I can't think right now.

[Mr. Blue!]

I'm pretty sure Pokemon Diamond/Pearl was released this year. That's where my nomination for DS goes. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is my nomination for PC. Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii. And then I'd have to say Star Wars: the Force Unleashed for my favorite overall game.

Yeah, I forgot Wii. >_<

and yeah no fallout 3 on 360. I'm not thinking today...

Nope, April 2007. Time flies, I had to look that up, I thought it was this year too.

[Mr. Blue!]

O, since we're doing the Multi-plat of the year, Put Force Unleashed in there for me.

[FalconZero]

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for DS, Mega Man 9 for WiiWare, Metal Gear Solid 4 for PS3, Mario Kart Wii for Wii (obviously), and Soul Caliber IV for multi-plat.

[DynoMite]

My Fallout 3 disc is broken, now I either have to buy a new one or repeatedly rent it until I beat it. :(

[Grey Angel]

Aww, that happened to my Limited Edition Halo 2 2 weeks after I got it. repeated okay takes its toll. Hopefully my COD:WaW won't break. Oh, and Happy New Year everyone!

[DynoMite]

Well I rented a new copy, and I installed it onto the hard drive, so now my broken one works. Before it wouldn't even get to the main menu, and now the entire game plays with no problems. Installing games was a great idea for the xbox. So now I am trying to get 1000 gamerpoints before the DLC comes out later this month. I am at like 890 right now. That shows what a great game it is, it is good enough to make me want to get all the points.

Also more nominations for GOTY please. >_<
