The Video/PC Game Discussion Thread

New Game Informer came in today.  Right on the cover: Elder Scrolls online.

Some studio called ZeniMax Online Studios is developing it.

And dammit, Mass Effect 3 is releasing Vorcha classes onto multiplayer and I still haven't been able to get my hands on either of the Geth ones.

Bought a PS2 slim yesterday to replace my old fat broken PS2. Amazing how cheap those things are nowadays! 

I haven't had time to play video games lately, yet I still find the time to pick some up.  At 57 cents, I couldn't turn down a copy of Final Fantasy Anthology for Playstation (FF V + FF VI).

^N64?

Great game!

Although the N64 didn't have as many FPS titles as, say, the PS1, I think the quality of them is substantially better than most platforms. Games like Goldeneye and Doom 64 alone are enough to secure its place as an amazing console for shooters.

This said, I never beat the final boss in this one.  Prefer Echoes personally. I remember having a play through of it last summer with a death metal soundtrack.

I never played Echoes back in the day. Still need to check that one out! I played the original around 7 years ago, and I remember it being just way too difficult and confusing at the time. I was only 9 or 10 years old, so a game like that can be quite a challenge when the only FPS titles you're familiar with are COD and Halo!
