I used to love RPGs when I was younger. Now I don't have the time to enjoy such games, like final fantasy 7 (130 hours) final fantasy 8 (90 hours) etc. Nowadays I play Prince of Persia Warrior within. It is very, very, very difficult! There is little time between save points, and that's sth convenient for me. What else? I used to play Resident Evil 4... until I got stuck in pro mode...

omg, I do not have time to discuss at length the games I like. Briefly, I like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil series, Warcraft3, Halo, Grand Theft Auto series, Mario(ALL of 'em), Zelda Zelda Zelda!, Castlevania series, Wrestlemania, Goldeneye, Blast Corps, Starfox, Tetris

The list is endless. I have been playing since I was 4. 15 years I have been a game fan! It's just a very fun way to occupy oneself, and as my mom puts it, stay out of trouble! I do not have much time these days to play, but I still play a couple hours a weeks.

Which one? 2004? I think that one is the best, too bad the online players are almost invincible when rookies play against them

I just understood that 3 best games that I've ever played (Monkey Island III: The Curse of Monkey Island, Crash Bandicoot, Far Cry) have all same thing: The location of these three games is some southern sea... Monkey Island III is happening in Caribia in pirate-era, Crash's and Far Cry's locations are also some southern sea areas. Maybe that's also one reason why I love these brilliant games so much. I've always love oceans, but I don't have almost ever possibility to see it. And this is almost totally off-topic :lol:

I'd like to dedicate this post to the memory of... my original NES. the little grey box has finally gone to hell. it's dead. it won't let me play super mario 2 anymore, or anything else for that matter.

SO... all my little games, kidicarus, that wonderful car game that i can't remember the name of, etc etc are all just sitting around collecting dust waiting for some nice angel of defunct video game systems to bring me a new old nintendo ;)

Yesterday I found this website of this incredible game.
Anyone here like the Transformers?
Well, I'm totally crazy about them, one of my favorites cartoons when I was a child.
In this site you can find videos, screenshots and also wallpapers and one screensaver and some 3D characters to play online, like Optimus Prime.
Please pay atention when the page is loading... :shock:

Oh my God!
Just amazing!

Optimus Prime rocks! :D

We pretty much have the same taste. I think that MGS is the best game EVER. And Halo and GTA are highly addictive. Zelda is just awesome And Castlevania is totally out of this galaxy. :)

I had TONS of Transformers when I was little. My favorite one was "Soundwave". He was a Decepticon, the tape recorder. He had the cassette tapes that changed into a panther, two different birds, and two different little robots. Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Rumble and Frenzy. See I remember the names. I had GI Joes, and He-Man too, but Transformers were the best. I wish I still had them. The old ones are worth a lot of money.

I heard the game wasn't as good as expected, although I don't know first hand, maybe I'll check it out.

It's ok, I've never played it, I only saw the shots and the videos in the Atari website, but I thought it's a really good game for the things I saw and thank you so much that review, it's great. This guy says it's a good game, hehe!

U know....there's a Transformers movie coming out in couple of years. I think it'll be out in 08. It will be all CGI though. I mean...of course!

A video game is a computer game where a video display such as a monitor or television is the primary feedback device. These terms are not always interchangeable as some games, particularly older games, do not use a video display. Usually there are rules and goals, but in more open-ended games the player may be free to do whatever they like within the confines of the virtual universe.

The phrase interactive entertainment is the formal reference to computer and video games. To avoid ambiguity, this game software is referred to as "computer and video games" throughout this article, which explores things common to both types of game.

In common usage, "computer game" or "PC game" refers specifically to games played on a personal computer, "console game" refers to games played on specifically-designed set top box, that play through a TV and "video game" (or "videogame") refers to any game played on a device that plays through your TV but also includes PC, Console, Cellular Phone or PDA or other handheld device.

I love rpgs , but most of them I had to watch as my brother played them

Chronno Trigger, Secret of Mana, Breathe of Fire (that I'm playing now) Final Fantasy (FF Tactics is one I really enjoyed)
Zelda OT.... what a great superfantastic game! I have the other of the masks but's not as good as the other.... I used to play it real sicko, like most of people allways runs with Link to this place to another, but I used to walk really slow in some parts playing with the camera angles (like in the part of the church).... those where good days with lots of time to waste.

Heroes II and III, Ciilization 2, and AGE OF EMPIRES!!! even now that I'm 20 in summer I go out with my old classmates to play 4 vs 4 of Age of Conquerors!!!!

but my very favourite game that I enjoy playing allways, it's an old SNES game (I have the PSX version is the same but in english) called "Tactics Ogre" anyone know it?

Isn't Tactics Ogre similar to FF Tactics? My friend said, that it was strange in the begining, but he liked it a lot.
