Everything I've ever imagined about the jerrod lifestyle, right down the drain.

That's fine by me though. I thought it was stupid to average "sound and music" in, since rarely does that impact the quality of a game very much, except in a few instances where the soundtrack is excellent. (I thought the music really made the atmosphere for Diablo 1, and some of the Final Fantasies).

I think they paid everyone off to give them a 10.

GTA is really a sweet game.

I have another 30 day free trial of Live too, so I will have to try some online action this weekend.

Yeah. Apologize to him. I'm the one who has to endure the raw cuts. :-?

I played it the first night I rented it, but I haven't picked it up since. Like Bioshock, it just seems like one of those games you have devote some serious time into before getting rewarded with a great experience.

I'm going to re-rent it over the phone and give it more of a shot this weekend.

Nah no need to kill, just use the patented Bobby Simmons hooker punch. That should make him fall right in line.

That sounds good. I think im finally gonna use that 48 hour trial card thing then. After that I suppose im gonna have to pay for xbox live gold. Just never got around to it since I didnt play as much and it would have been a waste.

I never exactly thought to look in this thread since I, you know, don't have an Xbox. But that's okay...

So how far is everyone in GTA? Or are you too busy playing online? I haven't tried out the multiplayer yet.

So I really haven't liked a Nintendo product since the SNES, but the Wii seems to be pretty fun in its own weird way. Anyone here own one?

I'm just not sure I'd play anything besides Mario Kart and maybe that Mario game that everyone loved.

Yeah, Wii is pretty bad ass, I bought one about a month or so ago. Mario Kart is fun, I picked that up on Sunday when it came out. The cool thing about Wii, for me, is I'm playing different types of games than I have in a long time. Guitar Hero is a must, there's just no arguing with that. Obviously, you wouldn't get it for amazing graphics, because they aren't, but they're still pretty good. You'll end up, most likely, playing more "fun" games - Mario Kart, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, Guitar Hero, etc. are all good. It's also really cool that you can download all kinds of old school Nintendo, Sega and arcade games. That's a really neat feature. There are other quirky things about it that are cool too. You can't go wrong picking one up.

How much are the old school SNES and NES games? To be honest that would probably be the biggest draw for me.

I really miss the old-school side scrolling platformers. Two weeks ago my brother and I spent maybe eight hours going through old Castlevania games. There's a simplicity yet severe challenge that 3-D just can't match. If a good side-scrolling Castlevania or Ninja Gaiden or Mega Man came out today on one of the Next Gen's I'd be the first in line.

Games start at 500 points (generally $5, unless you get points cheaper, like at Sams for example, but you can even just use your credit card right through the Wii) and range up to around 1,000.

http://www.nintendo.com/wii/virtualconsole

That talks about it, and there is a link to the games that are available.

Looking quickly, I see Castlevania and Castlevania II and Ninja Gaiden II and III available (all are 500 points).

Post #79 » by **ReasonablySober** » Sat May 3, 2008 6:21 am

Awesome. I'm sure I'll pick one up in the near future.

What makes Guitar Hero more fun than playing a real guitar? I haven't played the game yet, but I always hear about how great it is. I just don't see the point of practicing on a guitar that has buttons for strings. I have already bought pretty decent sounding guitars for $50 and $100.
