Just curious, but why the 3D Mortal Kombat's over the 2D ones?

Really I just prefer those over the others because I like konquest mode and the chess. I liked the new spin it gave while keeping the old. Plus my favorite is Kenshi and I don't remember for sure but I don't think he was in the older games.

Oh I see.  I actually liked the 3D ones alongside the 2D ones (most people tend to pick one or the other from what I've seen).  They each have a different feel to them.  The 2D ones are faster and more intense, but the 3D ones are kinda slower and you have to change your strategies for them. I liked Konquest mode too, never completed any of them though, I should probably fix that  .  But to clear it up for you, Kenshi was introduced in Deadly Alliance  . 

I have an NES, SNES, N64, gamecube, and now a wii [well its my family's... we got it for christmas the others are mine]
I also have an original gameboy [<3 it was a high school grad present] a gameboy color, a game boy advanced, a game boy advanced SP, a broken DS, and a DS lite.

... If you can't tell I'm a Nintendo kid.  Very loyal.  About all I'm missing is a top-loading NES, a virtual boy, a game boy pocket, and a mini game boy advance. 

As far as the newest games I have... we got super mario bros wii for christmas as well as DK country returns, twilight princess for wii [though its long beaten on my gamecube] and a marvel universe game...
At the moment I'm more involved in my phantom hourglass game for the DS [though I've had the game for over a year school and other games distracted me]  I'm also enjoying replaying Majora's Mask on my N64.... I'm also slightly Zelda obsessed. 

I'm not a huge gamer at the moment, though I plan to expand my (very modest) collection of games this year, and actually finish the ones I start.

Can someone quickly give a suggestion to this wannabe gamer for fun entry level game(s) I can play online or download on computer? Don't want to spend $ on a gaming system yet.

I 'think' I would like action/shootem up types, or fantasy/role playing.

Some PC games are really cheap.  My mate bought Left for Dead for like $20. Same price for Arkham Asylum. Both great games.

Sorry but I don't know much about downloading modern games. Only games I play on my computer are ROMs for the NES, SNES etc.

newest game - Donkey Kong Country Returns & Epic Mickey
console - wii, PS2, PS3, gamecube, nes, gameboy advance,
favourite game - Kingdom Hearts
favourite type of game- adventure -- but doesn't really matter -- just love veggin infront of a video game -- when I was in college (early 90's) I was the only female in the dorms who owned a video gaming system.

I have a wii & have several wii games as well as PS3 games if anyone wants to exchange #'s and want to challenge each other in games

Thanks, Xander. I see you started the other thread, and that will totally hit the spot.

newest game - Rune Factory 3 DS
console - DS, PS3
favourite game - Tale of Phantasia and Chrono Trigger
favourite type of game: Harvest-Moon Type, or turn based RPGs, or Pokemon games.

Seriously, it's like I'm 13 or something. (I'm actually twice that, fooooor the record.)

So I'm actually pretty addicted to games like Harvest Moon, Rune Factory and Luminous Arc, where you pick a girl to court in the midst of your adventuring and fighting.  I don't know why, because I'm a gay guy. Chalk it up to life's little mysteries!

I can't play shooting games or anything like that.  Nothing that requires me to react and aim!  My boyfriend can take care of those games!
