OK I bought Splinter Cell PT last week, great stealth game for sure, some of the best lighting I have seen in a video game by far.

Is it as good as the trailers and commercials say? It looks beautiful...

I recently ordered FFXI, so when I get it I'll see how it works out...

I've heard that the online component for Pandora Tomorrow is horrible and buggy. Somehow I'm not surprised.

No kidding? I want to check that one out. Is it better than the original? For some reason I could never really get into that game.

the first one was so unbelievably awful... it just lacked funness. If you got inot a fire-fight, forget about it!

[mrtimp]

graphics are great for sure, gameplay is really the same although i havent really had to do as much trial and error as with the first...god that pissed me off!!!!!!!!!! I too am hearing alot of problems with the online play which makes me happy that I am not into the online aspect of gaming, overall I would say give the game a shot, a solid 9 IMO

............and those lighting effects........good god just flat out awesome.

World of Warcraft will be the biggest game of the year, barnone. I want to buy it, but I'm a little hesitant. I've never played a MMORG before, I hear they are violently addictive.

Anyone here ever play a MMORG? Like everquest or ultima?

I would like to hear what you think about them.

Ultima Online, 4 years ago, was the best thing on a machine.

That was the ultimate MMORPG. But then Origin(The Company who made it) Got complaints upon complaints about the PvP aspect and how newbies kept getting killed.

So they turned the game into the most worthless piece of trash.


Grrrr.

I loved that game.

MMORPGs are very addictive. I used to play Runescape all the time, but its graphic (and how crappy they were) caught up with me, and there were too many new players because it was a free RPG.

I recently got Final Fantasy XI, and since I have it all hooked up, I would play it if it wasn't so damn late...

I'll play it tomorrow and see what happens... lol

Well, I've played EverQuest, and in my opinion, it's just about the most boring game on earth. It reminds me a hell of a lot of those old stock MUDs where you kill the beastly fidos and there's no depth to the game at all, ya know? Has anybody else MUDed on here?

My friend is obsessed with EQ, bought FFXI, and trashed it because he already has uber chars on EQ, and didn't want to put in more game time with the same stuff.

Diablo 2 is simple but lots of fun.

I was looking forward to Pandora Tomorrow's multiplayer mode. It looked totally badass in previews. The story was the same boring blah I've come to expect from Tom Clancy novels/games. I'm more of a Metal Gear fan methinks. Twin Snakes was spiffy, although I've never played the original MGS, and it was very short.

Silicon Knights has said they want to do a realistic, mature take on Zelda, so I'll be waiting for the awe that is that, if their idea ever comes to fruition.

So in short, to me, MMORPGs are nothing more than lots of unrewarding pointing and clicking mixed in with ambiguously gendered characters who can't seem to spell correctly or show even marginal intelligence half of the time. However, I never played Ultima, so I dunno what that's like.

Gasp! It took you guys four posts to mention Silent Hill 4? Shame on you.

DDR Extreme's gonna be my pick for this year...although I've already played the arcade version enough that it really won't be new anymore. Inspired by a news article from last year, I'm going to try and beat the DDR marathon world record...I'm aiming for a good fifty hours of play. Guiness requires me to have a medical doctor present for the whole time though, which is the opposite of awesome. Do you have any idea how much it costs to buy a doctor for fifty hours? It's a lot, that's how much! :angry:

Good luck.
I'd challenge you, but I cannot.

The next proper Commander Keen game is about 12 years late...
