Starcraft: Brood War
I don't even want to know how much of my life I wasted on this game since 1998, and the sad thing is I still play it regularly. To me, it's the perfect game.
Apparently, 18+ year old men are supposed to get up early, drink coffee and read the morning paper, work a 9-5 job, come home angry, eat dinner, then sit in a recliner drinking beer while mindlessly watching TV until they go to bed only to repeat this process until they retire. On Sundays, they do yard work and watch football. Once retired, they are in a perpetual state of TV watching and yard work.
Yep, my dad's generation were REAL MEN! Personally, I'd rather escape the monoton...
Omega Boost is also a great game, very underrated. I'd definitely buy it if I didn't already own the original.
Eh, achievement points are a good way to get some replay value out of games you've already bought and enjoy, but ultimately worthless since they don't really show what kind of gamer you are, since getting 1000 points in Dead Rising is worth the same 1000 points you get spending 5 minutes on Avatar. Clearly one is difficult to achieve and the other requires no skill in the slightest. Without browsing everyone's list of games you cannot distinguish achievement whores from legitimate gamers who ...
Your points about blu-ray and hd-dvd are spot on, it's a new technology with a lot of problems, but I believe once it becomes mainstream it will be just as reliable as DVD which will offer me high quality video at 1080p at a very high bitrate, a problem DD has due to size. Resolution is meaningless if it lacks in bitrate, IMO. Price and special features of HD media will no doubt decrease and increase respectively when it becomes the norm.
The DRM on discs are not quite as problem...
God forbid I didn't take a position at McDonald's as soon as I graduated high school, get married, and raise kids in poverty, instead of relying on my parents to better myself in college and make them proud.
I was a gamer when I was 4, I'm still a gamer now that I'm 20, and if there are games worth playing when I'm 80, you bet I'll be playing them.
If that makes me a "man child", then I don't ever want to be an adult.
As already precedented with music and video currently, all we will be getting is low quality files with obtrusive copy protection at ripoff prices. Doesn't the future of DD sound great?
Give me a disc any day!
Sweet, hope this is good game.
LOL
Is this a remake or a sequel/prequel to the 360 version?
I'd like to see more games that never made it to the USA and/or Europe like they did with Sin and Punishment for the N64.
EDIT: Just realized I didn't answer the question the article posed since I obviously wouldn't have played games that never came out in my country as a kid. Oh well, lol.
CJayC retired months ago.
I'd like to see Pokemon Snap 2 for the Wii. Imagine the potential!
Where have you been for the last decade or more? It is a worldwide gaming staple spanning nearly every, if not all, competitive games...
Anyway, competition is already fierce between the established names in gaming, so unless Apple are willing to pour in literally tons of money buying exclusives and developers, and somehow miraculously appeal to the gamer demographic at the same time, I can only see another N-GAGE.
That's what crossed my mind as well.
Haha, me too!
LOL, caught me off guard.
These commercials are pretty awesome.
1. This is an unfair statement, since any chains that were better than Gamestop, like Funcoland, were bought out by Gamestop already.
2. Exaggerated, but for the most part true since Gamestop bought all the competition. Personally, I use ebay's half.com to buy all my used games.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R had one of the best single player experiences that I've seen in a shooter for quite a while. I must have put in at least 100+ hours...
Hopefully, Clear Sky will be even better.
