Hiller, if you make music with software, you're basically playing a videogame. |
||||||||
|
|

I disagree- you wouldn't call scoring a piece by hand to sheet music "playing a board game" would you? That said, videogames are great :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

not a "board" game, but a game. Kinda more like sim city or doomcad, because it's fun comes mostly from creation (not really competition etc). That'd be cool if there was an "enemy" of destruction constantly battling you and destroying your creations. |

Damn, I missed it! we could have spoken about our pretty gamecubes! |

Gamecubes are sooo adorable! Even if I didn't play games I'd buy one just to carry around with me as a fashion accessory! |

I just got my son (aged 8) a Gamecube for his birthday last month, and with it I got SSX: Tricky (which he had already played as a rental on my PS2). Awesome game, very deep, long gameplay value, and killer music and graphics. As for other GC recommendations, I recommend Mario Sunshine (awesome, can't say enough about it - Cabbog - those backpack-less levels are easier if you rotate the camera ABOVE the area - much easier to judge distances in pseudo 2D ;) Super Monkey Ball 1 or 2 are awesome games as well...super deep, long and totally fun mini-games. Unfortunately, I forsee Nintendo dropping hardware development once the GC's life cycle (about 2-3 years) is run it's course, and Nintendo takes Sega's position as a top 3rd party software maker. They'll still support the Gameboy Advance - I bet that sucker is around in 10 years from now, just like the original Gameboy is. |

why would they do that nintendo s still making good games and making profit? (unlike micro$oft w/ their xbox) |

"Super Monkey Ball 1 or 2 are awesome games as well...super deep, long and totally fun mini-games. " I've really been wanting to play these- are they like marble madness as I've heard them described? |
||||||||

marble madness !! hahahaha :D I played that game a bit when I was 4-5 years old! |

i keep on my computer, i had so much consoles and the differences are horrible..... computer still rocks more than everything else. |

I'm not agree with you, PC games hasn't soul, imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im undecided about that... But Woofer makes a good point, and I would much be sitting on the couch infront of the TV playing a game rather than by the PC. |
||||||||

nah, computergames have the nicest flair i've ever seen, especially the old ones, monkey island, sierra series, and yeah, you are much more flexible than on a console, console games have no souls, they're almost the same, fight, race or jump n'run, it's a medium for peoples who just want have fun on standard games. you buy it, game it, fin. but you have all these things on a computer- princo; just plug in a tv card and you have the same fun on a tv screen. look microsoft, they ruin the whole computergame scene, every game will be releases first for the x-boy, then for pc. |

oh my god! I love the Sierra games! :D |

I had it on the spectrum, it couldn't handle the arcade levels, but it had a level designer :) The music to the arcade version was great! |

I'm starting to think that computer games are going to be where all the great obscure "autechre's" and "otto von schirach's" are going to be. It has the best control pad (or CIN "see in"... that's c++ speak for people who are EXPERTS in it, people like me) since it uses all the normal fingers to push buttons instead of one single thumb. in doom2 though, you had to "waste" 4 entire fingers on the directional pad... so i think the best joystick would be gripping it with all your fingers (8 buttons) and 2 d-pads or analogue directional pads for your thumbs to maximize possible simultaneous button smushes. |

I've never enjoyed PC games. They lack the magic. Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Sonic, Resident Evil, Castlevania, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, these series are mostly console based. I can't name any PC only series that have the cool fresh feel of those games. The top PC games always seem to be generic multi player first person games. I'm just no interested in that stuff. Strategy games can be nice, but again, it's just... no match for Mega Man. Consoles forever, beyotches. |
||||||||

side scrollers rawk. 3-d games all seem like doom or doom rip offs to me. Consoles rarely crash too :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the GC has a few great franchises but in the long run it will be the poorest of the 3 consoles...xbox = DC's spiritual successor, anyone who wants to dispute that fact i'll gladly argue with them :) |

Kings Quest V and VI by Sierra were amazing. Playing them as an introverted little boy completely changed my perception of reality... I also liked the Space Quest series but I tried desperately not to relate to Roger Wilco. I think my favorite one was the fourth.. Time Rippers was it? Never played Leisure Suit Larry or Quest for Glory. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I became a very adventures young lad after playing the sierra games! Kings Quest 3 was my Favourite Kings Quest....... I really liked the Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and Space Quest Series!! Damn they were great! As a young boy, I remember school holidays that would seem to last forever and I would play sierra games with a good mate! |

Sadly, Nintendo is in 3rd place, behind Microsoft and Sony in terms of consoles sold, and in profits. Microsoft loses the most per console, but Nintendo has shipped fewer units than MS has, and certainly less than Sony (but they had almost a year head start). I can see how Super Monkey Ball can be compared to Marble Madness...but infinately more detailed and fun. |

PC games don't lack the magic, you lack the patience and depth! Have you ever played Master of Orion or Civilization? |
||||||||
|
|

|

Kings quest 5 and 6 were good, the rest sucked, 8 wasnt bad though. I only like strategy games and fps on pc. im mainly console. and Microsoft is and has been in 3rd place from the getgo. Nintendo is not behind xbox at all. |

last week or this week gamecube sales were higher than PS2. although thats just for a little bit because of mario its still significant. xbox was not even close to even nearing ps2 by a longshot |

Get Eternal Darkness. |

There's exceptions, of course there's some great games for PC. But there's so much derivative crap on them, too... for every great FPS, there's 500 crap reworkings of some other engine. As for Gamecube... the selection sucks right now, but in a few months there's going to be like 5 games I need to get... there's very few PS2 games that I'm looking forward to. |

Devil May Cry 2...corr blimey can't live without that one %o |

"There's exceptions, of course there's some great games for PC. But there's so much derivative crap on them, too..." It's like that for every gaming platform you quack! For every Mario you get, soon afterwards you also have a Bubsy, Crash Bandicoot, Blinx, Rocky Racoon, Jay Lesser, Bonk the Caveman, etc, etc, add nauseum. It's a fundamental law. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

..That's what I thought. So what's the opinion people? PC or Platform? |

Ophecks you have time to be a moderator, gain points & play games ? must be nice :0) im only into old arcade games, the kid who i do big brothers, big sisters with, i gave him my tony hawk #2 to, got it for birthday, played it less than 10 times on the computer, its GREAT to watch him play it, he just learned how to do a DARKSLIDE (invented by rodney mullen, freestyle skater). the game is way funny, those tricks are IMPOSSIBLE. i tell him he can play the game a little, but we always go outside and have fun, ride bikes, skateboard and rollerblade KILL YOUR TELEVISION !!! have fun with the gamecube Ophecks !!! |

I like luigi's mansion =oDD mario sunshine aint out till october here, but I've orderd it =oD we got super monkey ball too |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
What's Luigi's Mansion like? I heard it was quite short and more geared towards children. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's cool =oD It is kind of a kiddies game, but not too kiddie (I've been stuck a few times, but that doesn't say much =o\) I havent finished it yet though, but looking at the map it's not that small. Not as big as some mario games tho. I'd give it about 6 1/2 - 7 out of 10 |

What about Pikmin? Have you played that? |
||||||||

i think the most never enjoyed pc games, they just played the original "woah looks nice games" but then it seems to be hard to configure the computer and you go alternative: consoles. but when you grow up with pc games, then it's so more MAGIC in it. |
||||||||
|

xbox have the best exclusive fps such as halo 1 and 2 and Domm 3. Gamecube have Mario and Zelda and rare.Ps2 have alot off good games and gta3 is the best Ps2 game.All off these consoles are good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gamacube has exclusive for Mario, Zelda and... Resident Evil... don't forget ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're "big brother" to a kid like in that simpsons episode where Bart gets a top gun pilot as a big brother? Cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I like the new metroid game and get a gamecube, I will def. get monkey ball, any idea whether 2 is (will be?) significantley better than 1? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
