New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

Oh, no question about that. If we are going by consensus Uncharted 2 is top 5 games of all time. But is it fair to say I probably wouldn't like 3? It's not different than 2 right?


I think you answered your own question.


If you don't like chocolate bars you probably not going to like fudge.

I played and honestly I think River Raid is a better game.

Oh yeah, just awful!

I can remeber getting a game and saying gee I hope some day the graphics will be as good as the picture on the box. Boy have we come a long way.

...remember this piece of crap?

There's a fine line between crap and classic. I bought the Intellivision Lives package from XBOX Live. $15 and you get every Intellivision game ever made. I was amazed how bad the "graphics" were but these games will always hold a special place in my heart.

Two of my all-time Intellivision favorites:

Baseball - still probably the best baseball game I ever played

Astrosmash - loved this game, I used to play it hours on end until my console was about to explode

Interesting, COD is starting to feel like Madden with their yearly updates.

WTF? Armed robbery for a freaking game.

This part cracks me up:

Elsewhere, demand for MW3 has been predictably high, with one eBay copy of the game allegedly selling for over $1,700. MW3 officially launches tonight at midnight.

$1700? That person really couldn't wait til tonight to grab it for $60??

Yeah I don't get that either. You have to be some kind of pathetic person if you pay 1700 bucks for a videogame a week before it comes out. At that point, it's obvious all rational, logical decision making is gone from your head.
