Ok so I've been reading some random things online and some of it bugs me. Even the game review writers are being ignorant about some of the facts and histories of games.
I hope you all know that Need for Speed Underground wasn't the first Need for Speed right? It's actually like the 7th, and the origin of the series was to make a fairly realistic game rather than an arcade-style one. And that the 3 PS2 Grand Theft Auto games were each based off of a city in the original GTA? all pretty trivial stuff but it just bugs me that people don't know some of this stuff  -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

I think that gaming is becoming too much of a pop culture thing now. All the most recent games I've played lately SUCK. That includes Halo 2, Half Life 2, Doom, etc. The only game i've enjoyed of late was gta: sa. I'm getting tired of playing some of the same things over and over again, at least rockstar continually mixes it up now and then.

I still have a copy of GTA2 for the PSone and Need for Speed 3 for the PC. I even have the original Warcraft some where. My opinion on gaming I am more into FPS and racing games now, since the RTS genre is thinned out to only a few decent titles, I remember when Starcraft, Warcraft, Total Annihilation and Red Alert were the s***. I like the advancements in FPS but it is starting to lag a little, the new game Black is suppose to revolutionize the FPS genre by making the bullet damage more realistic, like being able to shoot the s*** out of the floor and drop to the next level like in Underworld or being able to put a bullet from a high powered weapon through the wall and kill an enemy.

[right][snapback]300460[/snapback][/right] I totally am with you about Red Alert and all the RTS games, there just are no good ones out lately. I have Warcraft 3 but that seems to get old after like 20 minutes. I mostly play RPG's and racing games anymore, and not even that often bc it's hard to find a good game. Hopefully Advent Rising will be pretty cool. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

I still play StarCraft. And that game's been out since 97' or 98'.... If you go on StarCraft Battle.net you could still find SH!T LOAD of peeps playing against each other. Seems like the newer game can't really replace it......

nah bro the colecovision hahahaha, but seriously theres to many games out there made by too many companies and at least 50 percent of them are either alike or crap, To me the best video game developers are nintendo, cause they can make anything into something real good... systems like xbox, to me its like there trying too hard to beaT sony.... but seriously no game revolutionizes games like mario 1 did cmon...
