The Video/PC Game Discussion Thread

I used to spend waaaaay too much time playing this.

And if I ever find my copy of Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth in my pigsty of  a room, I'm not coming out for at least two weeks.

I beat L.A. Noire (2011) earlier today and was blown away by the ending. The cinematography, voice acting, and dialogue are absolutely superb, and I felt like I was playing in a real 1940's crime drama through the entire thing. I wish it had a little bit more diversity and action, but this is still an excellent game. If you haven't played it and have any appreciation for film, you should love this one. 

I also started playing this game today... I'd imagine all the regulars in this thread have probably heard of it...


Super Mario 64 (1996)

This was one of my favorites as a little kid, but I never was able to beat it. I got stuck at around 20 stars I think (I was probably only eight at the time), so I have the intention of revisiting the game to beat it. I have fourteen stars right now, and it's an absolute blast. It's no wonder this is considered such a timeless classic!

I keep forgetting to post this, but I beat this game about two weeks ago:


Medal of Honor: Heroes (2006)

It was a good PSP first-person shooter for sure, but the controls were a bit awkward and the campaign is EXTREMELY short. I beat the entire campaign in under 90 minutes. Definitely not worth paying full price for, but if you can get it for $5 like I did, it's worth it. A quality entry in the MOH series for sure in spite of its brevity.

Started a new character on Fallout New Vegas yesterday. Honestly going to ignore the main quest after a point, and just look for side quests. I'm sure there's still many I missed before (in fact, I already found one). 

i have been playing this


k

and god of war 2 on this

probably because shooters for psp are terrible

learn to analog stick sony

Had a Steam trial of Saints Row The Third this weekend. Not my usual sort of game but I got pretty hooked on it and will definitely be buying a copy sometime.

I still need to get that, I'll wait for a steam sale or something though

I really didn't like the Legion (or NCR for that matter), and I think putting Vegas in the hands of House probably wasn't a horrible thing. That being said, some of the things he forced you to do were morally questionable. Especially blowing up the Brotherhood of Steel. By the time Mr. House had asked me to perform that task, I'd already joined the Brotherhood and really taken a liking to some of their leaders. I felt like a douche while I was stealing the keycards to blow the place up, but I guess it was for the greater good. Anyway, this was an incredibly deep game, and I had a total blast. I think I slightly prefer Fallout 3, but both were undoubtedly excellent.
