That game is fun man. I tried being evil, but I felt to terrible just jumping off of buildings and exploding everyone in the street. Hah, I swiftly redeemed myself.

Here is an amusing editorial of why Prototype is blatantly better than inFAMOUS.

I’m an Infamous fan…and I have both games. That was a little funny, but truthfully speaking, the extreme powers they gave you in Prototype is why it isn’t as good. There is little need to go through the story much at all when you start the game off already strong enough to kill everything and destroy everyone. You can only run around destroying shit for so long before you start wondering why other aspects of the game are so weak…like the way the people respond in Prototype on the street. No humorous remarks or interesting comments…just calmness or outright terror if they know its you. The buildings are also made like paper cut-outs. That has to be the least inspired replica of New York in a video game in ten years or more. It is like they rushed on the environment.
Games like Assassin’s Creed did well because they spent so much time on the environment that simply walking around made you feel like you were experiencing something. There is none of that in Prototype. I give most people 2 weeks before that game gets put on a shelf only to make rare appearances during leap years.
They should have spent another year or more on that game just working on the population and the buildings.

I think that may be my favorite part of Infamous, some of the things people say are really funny, and the voice of survival on tv is pretty hilarious sometimes.
I would like to hear if anyone has anything to say about Fight Night 4. I have the demo and it seems ok, not sure if I want to buy it though.

Im not a fan of shooting games at all,they bore me to tears.
The kinda games i love are
Resident evil
So any suggestions would be appreciated
Resident evil is a Survival Horror game that involves shooting…[/quote]
OK i should have explained myself a little better
Not a fan of game’s like Call of duty. Just bores me to tears.I have no patience to sit and wait for a enemy to stop shooting at me or hide in the grass…whatever.i just go all guns blazing and die quickly haha.Games like doom,COD and any games when u just see your gun and shoot just isnt my thing.

I would suggest Dead Space over Resident Evil…that is a survival horror game. Resident Evil has lost that moniker,imo.
Y’know, I have to agree with that. RE just doesn’t have the special something it once had.[/quote]
I agree as well
Resident evil 1 back on the PS1 was one of the best games i ever played.The game actually scared me when i played it as a teenager by myself at 1am in the morning.
RE2 was also good but not as good as RE1
RE3 was just getting a bit silly.Not enough scare factor.
Never played RE4
Played RE5 the other night.Not a bad game BUT something about it that just didnt feel right.Great visuals and the zombie’s are ruthless but i dont know just didnt feel like a RE game.

Aren’t you guys a little old for video games. If my girls saw me playing video games they would think I was an immature geek.
The average age of video game players today is 30+ years old. Considering how games have advanced into complete entertainment “events” and not just absent minded repetitive action like PONG, why would a girl today be surprised that her man plays video games?
In fact, if seeing that you play video games by itself is enough to cause your girl to lose respect for you, then you clearly don’t have much else going for you.[/quote]
Well said X
Im not a drinker or smoker,i dont go out very often but the one thing i enjoy in life is video games and big screen tv’s. Does this make me a big kid? Im the first to admit that i am a HUGE big kid. Video games are all about fun for me.If its fun ill do it.
Im happily married with kids and never has my wife had a problem with me playing video games.
What does the great winkroar3 do in his spare time.Id like to know what u do that u enjoy.Im guessing that u come into threads like this and post when really u didnt answer the question that i asked.U just came in a made a silly post that was uncalled for.Why did u even open the thread if u thought video games were for geeks?

Question on the PS3 (and XBox, and other similar).
I’ve been a PC gamer forever, and still active in a clan that’s been together going on about 8 years now (incidentally, the average age of the clan is mid-40’s and includes 2 police officers and an airline pilot)
Is there a pretty good online community with the game boxes? How do you interact vocally with others or type messages real time?[/quote]
no where near the same level as the computer… xbox live can have its moments for as a whole the computer gamer groups are a lot better… my 0.02 anyways… as for how they interact, they all have headsets / mics… kinda like vent or the retarded brother of teamspeak (which was already odd to begin with)…

Agreed - incredible game.
The story is awesome - it feels totally apocalyptic, yet strangely isolated and intimate at the same time. Probably because the city is under quarantine by the federal government, and the way your heroics affect things in the hopeless weeks following the big blast which plunged the city into chaos and gave you your powers is just perfectly tuned.
People take my picture now and call their friends on cell phones when they see me, or after a crazy battle with some Reapers or Dust Men in the streets they start cheering and clapping for me taking out the trash…
Once they even threw rocks at the enemies I was brawling with to help me out - fucking sweet…
And the way the game just has that exacting balance of cool locomotion and random battles breaking out as you traverse the rooftops - it’s just everything you got in the best of comic hero stories and it just feels awesome.
The way you can go from climbing a building to gliding across telephone lines and other electrical wires strung between the high-rises - coming flying off a wire and using the hand repulsion to glide across to another roof or float down to land perfectly on top of a lampost, or on the train tracks where you can ride like a human locomotive at top speed …it’s completely addicting.
Oh, and I disagree - Xbox Live is an awesome community, and the tools, like the chat, work pretty flawlessly.
As long as you get together a good friends list, it’s fantastic.

Multiplayer CQB type games is where it’s at for me, but seeing the trailers for Assassin’s Creed and Infomous could sell me for PS3 on those alone.
What platform has the best sports games?

Don’t forget God of War isn’t even out yet. There is no doubt that game will break the bank.
It takes more than shooting to keep me interested in a game. I was originally into Tomb Raider when it first came out, but most recently, it is like they just ran out of content. The puzzles used to be challenging and fun to play…now they are just tedious.
Infamous was probably the best blend of fighting, shooting, figuring shit out, and random free roaming action that I’ve played. The ONLY thing I hate…is that after beating it, because you took down so many enemies, there isn’t much of a threat after that. I have to play the game again to really get back into the action. While playing it, you can’t go for too long before someone takes a shot at you.
I liked that Spiderman - Web of Shadows also. The premise is "Venom infects a large population of New York turning them into “venom-zombies” which causes all of New York to fall into chaos. The ability they give you to fight in the air is impressive.
I liked Assassin’s Creed because of the time spent on the environment. It is meant for exploration and random missions. I think some people didn’t like it because it wasn’t just a fighting game. I think the point of the game was to get you to experience that time period more than it was to fight all of the time. I hope the sequel is better.
X - You should pick up Prototype - you’d fucking love it!
A similar sandbox anti-hero/superhero game, but far more violent and over the top than inFamous - absorbing monsters into your own skin = fucking awesome!! : )

I have it. I got bored in 2 hours. You see, I have both Hulk video games from the PS2 and the PS3…and that is all that game basically is. I can play Hulk and destroy shit…and I can play Assassin’s Creed and run from the enemy then blend into the crowd to escape. I think playing INfamous first ruined that game for me.

God no! Too much talk- too many interruptions from the colonel. Way too much dialogue. The best PS1 game was Syphon Filter

I’m reintroducing myself to console gaming after having mostly played Real-Time Strategy games on my PC for the past decade. Basic hack’n’slash games are ok, but I tire of them easily. How would you compare the depth of Assassin’s Creed, Infamous, GTA, and Spiderman with one another in terms of story line and side missions?
