video games?

[kristin?]

Month and a half ago, I lived with my fiancé, and we played games and watched movies all day (when we weren't working). Now I've got no job, no girl, I'm back at home, and my Xbox's disk drive is broken
All I've got now is MW3,Oblivion (which I've already put hundreds of hours into), some XBLA games, and Netflix
Skyrim, Mass Effect, and Dark Souls just sit there on the shelf, taunting me :<

No video games?!?!?! I would just cry. (Then again, I like Nintendo, not XBOX, so  )

I used to be ultimate ninendo whore. I had snes, n64,gamecube all plugged into my zenith tube tv. Good times spent with Resident Evil Remakes , rogue squadron, mario64, super star wars... ok i can type for hours.

Since your a nintendo fan, can you recomend me a good ds game? (or three lol) I bought my ds like 2 months ago, I played it hard for a week (mario kart) and I swear I have touched it since. Im thinking a resident evil game or pokemon (both maybe? ive the budget dont worry... and its a 3ds ive got.) Which pokemon game would you recomend? id prefer something more in line with like gold version (childhood memories, yes!) because I cant take all these new pokemon.

Also, I wanna get a wii but aperantly the new wii is coming out? what do you know about this?

Unfortunately for you, I never liked pokemon. However, my friend does and he wants to get the new upcoming pokemon black 2 game (to be released october 7th in America, not sure about Canada). I would also not get a wii if you want to play the new Wii U games. The wii U doesn't play gamecube games or accept gamecube remotes, so keep your gamecube. The wii U will play wii and wii U games. Keeping with tradition, this new console for nintendo means a new super smash bros game to be titled Universe (wii's Super Smash Bros. Brawl). The wii U will be taking nintendo into a new client base by producing kids' games along with some more adult-friendly titles, including a Nintendo Assassin's Creed. The wii U will be coming out around Christmas 2012, so you'll have to wait.
All games with * are "Recommended with Honor"
As for good DS games:
-New Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2*
-Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass*
-Any Professor Layton game (They all have good puzzles and really nice stories)
-Kid Icarus: Uprising*
-Sonic Generations
-Super Mario 3D land (Definitely)*
-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS*
-Brain Age games, if you're into them. (Wouldn't recommend unless you actually want to use them)

As for good Wii games (Note that I can't speak for Wii U games since the system isn't out yet)
-Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess*
-Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Not as good as Twilight Princess in my opinion, but still good)*
-Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 (Imagine super mario with the ability to use multiple dimensional planes, including UPSIDE DOWN)*
-Kirby's Return to Dreamland
-Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Great when friends come over)*
-Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
-Kirby's Epic Yarn (Kirby is just too cute)
-Sonic Colors
-No more heroes 1 and 2 (If you like gore)
-New Super Mario Bros. Wii*
-Donkey Kong Country Returns

Guys like nerdy girls..., right?

PS--> Note that you should do research and look into game play videos online to see if the games are your style. I am very hard to not please with a fun game. Have fun.

Pant, Pant.. Agh. All right, 180 minutes on the gym. I guess now I can sit down and play videogames without feeling guilty (I am afraid I will get lazy and sedentary again if I start playing)

Now, let´s see. What was I playing two months ago?

- Metroid Zero Mission
- Cave Story +
- Discworld


Probably I will be incredibly rusty,  but having to get and install a new SPDI/F sound cable for the PC across the room... Too lazy for that.


PS: 3DS will be my last console. I used to have all of them and be a collector of retro titles, but in the end it was another thing for filling time. Now only the Snes remains in use (thanks to a Powerpak).

I guess I must have been using games to keep myself from thinking about things as well as to have fun and I have always had an interest in

computer games since I saw my first game on my brothers friends PC ... it was some DOS game I think...

and I've blown a lot of money on them... but PC games are the cheapest form of entertainment out here...

anyways looking at my "small" collection of games I am wondering what to do with them since only a few of them still hold my interest.

ok here goes... *takes a deep breath* :
PC:
games that I still like:
Company of heroes - Tales of Valor, Opposing Fronts, and 1st one - my favourite game ever.
Sims3 + Sims3 Late Night. - the only "girly" games that I've got.

games just lying there:
Modern Warfare 3
Modern Warfare 2
Modern Warfare
Call Of Duty Black ops
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 1 - awesome game - will play it again sometime.
Dragon Age Origins - awesome game - but after loosing savegames thrice and having to start all over I just got fed up.
Escape from Butcher Bay.
Skyrim
Grand Theft Auto 4
Prototype
Assassins Creed
Red Alert 3
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Oblivion Lost
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call Of Pripyat - still play it now and then - good game.
Half Life 2
lots of other games that I don't care to remember, as well as my brother's games.

then 2 years ago - got a good deal on a colleague's Xbox
so got these:
Halo - Fall of Reach - best game I've ever played.
Halo 3
Gears of War 1 & 2
Mass Effect 2

sorry if I am showing off but I guess no-one would have guessed why a girl would like these games.

No video games?!?!?! I would just cry. (Then again, I like Nintendo, not XBOX, so  )

I've still got some video games, it's just limited to my games on demand and arcade games on my hard drive. Traded in like half my collection to get MW3 On Demand just so I'd have something social to do until I get a new system :<
Hopefully that'll be soon, don't wanna miss out on Borderlands 2 and Resident Evil 6 releases >.<
