Are you from the future!?

you would think he would come back with more pertinent information than about 2k8. How about some lottery numbers???

360:

College Hoops 2k8
Madden 08
MLB 2k8

Had been playing franchises in all the games, but have become sadistic and taken to getting my butt kicked on live with the same games.

I'm playing lots and lots of Mass Effect. And then lots more.

Also FIFA online team play. Single player sports games just don't work for me, and while head to head is fun, teamwork is my favorite, so why compromise?

A little bit of WW soccer manager on the laptop, too.

That pretty much sums it up.

Haven't had much time to game lately but when I have it's been mostly Rock Band or Tiger Woods on the 360.

Brando70 · Post by **Brando70** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:43 am

All 360

First string:
Rock Band -- alternating between drum and guitar solo tours. Love, love, love this game.

Mass Effect -- Absolutely terrific, rivals BioShock for best single-player game I've played on the 360. I'm taking my time doing side quests.

NBA 2k8 -- Playing a Bulls franchise even more horrifying than the real thing. I'm almost to Dec. 25 when I plan to fire virtual Scott Skiles

Second string:
COD 4 -- This cooled off after I got Rock Band and Mass Effect, but the urge to kill should return soon.

Guitar Hero III -- I have played some of this, but I really think it's not in the same league as RB. Still, plenty of good songs so it will get some time.

Bench warmer:
PGR 4 -- I haven't played this in weeks, but I'm keeping it because it's a very good game I know I'll play once I get through the A-listers above.

Cut from the team:
Madden 08 -- So disappointing. It does a lot of things right, but what it does wrong eventually ruined the game for me. The patch helped with fumbles and reduced CPU interceptions slightly, but did nothing to fix the defensive TDs.

Halo 3 -- I really liked the single player, but COD's multiplayer is more my style.

JRod, I have a question I'm asking completely seriously: what's the last console game you played that you really liked?

I have to say I was really on the blah fence earlier, with Guitar Hero II the only game I really got excited about, but the fall 360 releases completely re-energized my enthusiasm for gaming. I think August-November 2007 was one of the strongest series of releases in gaming history.

Wilk5280 · Post by **Wilk5280** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:59 pm

Picked up TheShow07 new off ebay for 18.99 shipped. Very good game, but really all they did is upgrade the graphics a little bit from the PS2 version eh?

I've only played one game so far, but it just seems that other than graphics PS2 users are aren't missing anything else correct?

Airdog · Post by **Airdog** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:26 pm

Right now:

Wii
Super Mario Galaxy
Wii Sports (Mainly bowling when I get together with friends)

360 is in the shop, but when I get together with my friends with working ones we usually play NHL 2K8, Guitar Hero III, and Rock Band. But mainly NHL 2K8, we are Canadian after all.

Gangrel · Post by **Gangrel** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:32 pm

Well, I'm settling in with my 360, and haven't really touched my PC lately...... (my upgrade of my PC is on pause, as we are house shopping)

On the 360, I have
NHL2k8 (if only there were a few tweaks here and there, it would be perfect)

NBA2k8 (i suck at basketball, yet every year I get NBA because I think it's one of the best 'sims' of it's sport. And the graphics? Oh my!)

Forza2 (came with the 360. Anyone still play this on Live?)

Marvel (came with the 360 too, haven't played it much)

Smackdown vs Raw 2008 (yes, wrasslin..... I'm not ashamed to admit I'm trailer trash.

I've also had Dead Rising on rent.... very cool game.

Post by **Jared** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:36 pm

So little time for gaming lately, but when I have been playing:

College Hoops 2K8, post-patch
Orange Box

And I'm hoping that the next Worldwide Soccer Manager patch fixes MLS enough to start playing it.

And the upcoming baseball games on the PS3 (The Show, Pro Yakyu Spirits) are REALLY tempting me to get a PS3......

JRod, I have a question I'm asking completely seriously: what's the last console game you played that you really liked?

This is old trying to say I hate everything. How is being burnt out with console gaming saying I hate gaming.

Let's move on on the old and tired assumption.

Post by **Jared** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 5:02 pm

Brando's not saying you hate everything...otherwise he wouldn't have asked the question.

You're burnt out with console gaming...so that implies that there was a time that you liked console games. Hence Brando's question....and it's a valid one.

And I think it's interesting to see what people's opinions are re: the state of console gaming right now. My (totally unsolicited opinion) is that non-sports console gaming has been excellent lately (e.g. 2nd half of 2007), whereas console sports gaming has been stagnant, apart from a few exceptions.

What does everyone else think?
