Has anybody played Prototype for PC or console? The idea of free-roaming Manhattan with bladed weapons formed of your own biomass has a certain appeal.
Prototype is ok but if you have a PS3 InFamous blows it away. I have played both and Prototype seemed to be a little bit of Spiderman 3 mashed with the last Hulk game with a touch of GTA4. I am not saying it was bad but to me InFamous was the much better game.

Anyone try that Street Fighter 4? I'm not big on fighting games, but Street Fighter 2 (which ever of the 1,000 different versions) was always fun. I like the cell-shaded look it has.

Anyone else looking forward to Dragon Age?

The spiritual sequal to Baldur's Gate. Neverwinter Nights was good but not great, Dragon Age does look more promising. Hopefully they can combine the depth and freedom of BG with new graphics etc.
I'm looking forward to it big time! Probably my most anticipated game release of the year.

What I'm playing now: Beat inFamous and God of War. Just chilling with my #1 game IL-2 until I decide what to play next. Probably God of War 2.
I don't even like those types of games (nor do I have a 360), but I may be getting a pre-release copy of Dragon's Age. My brother-in-law is looking forward to it :lol:

I borrowed all the Splinter Cell games out for PC from my buddy and giving them a shot. So far the first one is very cool.

Yea it doesn't seem easy. You get spotted by a camera and it's mission failed. I thought it would be hard to play on a keyboard but it doesn't seem as bad as I thought. The newest one is coming out this fall for 360 and PC so if I like all these I just may get it because it looks awesome.

I can't always play them, generally if i'm bored i'll play a video game. I really have to be in the mood to play a stealth game like that though for some reason.

I've killed so many zombies.
A month!? I beat that game in exactly 2 sittings. :lol: :lol:
Spoiler:
I only did that cause I was doing it co-op. That game is very fun co-op.
I have been playing a BF-109 campaign in IL-2 and trying to polish off Ninja Gaiden 2.

I found it for pretty cheap and may pick it up today. It looks like fun. Something to just kill some time. I also found the LEGO Star Wars: the Complete Saga for pretty cheap too, so I may pick that one up.

The other games I may pick up for my Wii is Mario Galaxy, Zelda: The Twighlight Princess, and Metroid Prime 3.

Anyone play any of those games.

Has anyone tried Battlefield 1943 yet? I've heard mixed things, but for $15...

I might try the PC version this fall...

I was a huge fan of the original (and sequels) for the PC. Still play 'em from time to time.

Mario Galaxy is freakin' amazing. The only thing that really makes me wish I didn't sell my Wii.

Mario Galaxy is alot of fun. I really enjoyed it. It't no Super Mario 64 but it is very fun. Metroid is also great.

Digital Gypsy, they have a 1942 demo for 360 if thats your console.

It is pretty decent. However the FREE version on PC is much better (in the sense that you have Call of Duty style levels and unlocks).

I just started playing Fallout 3 last week for Xbox 360....up until this point, Half-Life 2 had been my favorite video game of the last 10 years. Not anymore...this is easily the most compelling, complete, and addicting game I have ever played. Perfect combination of first-person shooter/RPG...I can't wait for the sequel

Lego batman is pretty cool if you can get it cheap.

Mario galaxy is pure win.

Zelda is kinda meh. I loved it the fist time through, got bored after the 7th temple and never played it again the second. Some epic boss fights though to be sure.

MP3 is pretty awesome, HOWEVER I recommend not picking it up just yet... they are releasing all 3 MP games on one disc as a trilogy later this month. (with the MP3 motion controls - which are ftw btw)

I'm hooked on Fable II for the 360 right now. I came to the party late but I'm glad I did. I'm not usually an RPG guy but for some reason this one has grabbed me and won't let go. That said, NHL 10 is probably going to consume my world in a month.
