Gaming is something that needs to be done in moderation of course, as it can take away practice time! But after nailing that impossible solo, you deserve a break! What's your pleasure? Platformer? PC? Thought I'd start a tread in my forum on Games that I"m playing/played/wanted to share/learn about/ask you guys about etc. A bit of gaming is good for the soul!
THIS POSTS BIG QUESTION: MASS EFFECT 3 ANYONE? The Demo for MASS EFFECT 3 is available for Xbox360. PS3 and PC. Here is the link. If you see me online my XBOX live id is RG560 http://masseffect.bioware.com/about/demo/?..._BPOxGiB8f9HDaK |

It's been a long time since I used to play video games at home, that passion was changed by guitar when I was around 13. However I played Wii for the first time yesterday and it was awesome. I played Houses of the holy and Resident Evil. Great ones!

Since I just got a beefy computer I have been gaming on it. Last game I beat was yesterday, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, currently playing Crystalis.. So demanding of my pc. After I get done with some old school NES games I'm going to play Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning tho.
I may pick up twisted metal for the ps3 next week just to play with some friends online. -------------------- Guitars:

PS3 here.
Though I din't play much for months, I'm now having a great time with Kingdoms of Amalur. For my taste, the best RPG on the platform, and even the best RPG I've played, not counting MMORPGs. This post has been edited by Fran: Feb 16 2012, 05:19 PM -------------------- Guitars:

Yeah I kind of agree with you here. Shadowman is a really old PS1 game with awful graphics and controls but the storyline is epic. Nightmare Creatures is another game with dated graphics and dodgy controls but the atmosphere on that is incredible !! Me too. In fact I decided to invest in some nostalgia and bought Tekken 5 off Amazon a few weeks ago. I never played that one before so I thought I'd give it a go.. was surprised how hard it was. The end boss is just a b*****d No epic story lines? Guys! I'm guessing neither one of you played the original BioShock game? I have to say, killer story, plot twists, epic drama, just amazing. Almost sounds like "They don't make make em like they used to...." etc? I actually try to share games that I think are actually worth anyone's time in my game posts. A bit ago I played through a game called ALICE which was a dark, twisted take on the Alice in wonderland story and it was just amazing. The writing was awesome, story was compelling and game design was some of the best I"ve ever seen and I've seen quite a few games The art design, sound design, graphic design, all of it was just epic/mind blowing/awesome. Better than any movie/game/anything I've seen in years. There is some amazing, inspiring, game content out there guys. Games have taken over for movies in terms of original story telling/new music IMHO. Movies seem to have gotten stale, boring, while games (the good ones) still take chances. I"m not saying you should skip practice to play games. Never. Just that if you are going to play a game now and then, pick a good one Which is why I review games here on GMC that I think are worth a darn. Here is a link to my ALICE review and a few pics for starters P.S. BEN: Tekken rules! My fav was Tekken Tag Tournament where you could tag out and switch to a fresh figher mid match! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=40917 This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Feb 21 2012, 12:10 AM |

My fav was Tekken Tag Tournament where you could tag out and switch to a fresh figher mid match! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=40917 Wow ! Just checked out your other thread about the Alice game.. looks amazing ! I guess you're right about the storyline stuff Todd, it's not true that they don't do epic anymore because they do. I guess what I feel is that everything is so impressive with graphics these days and there's so much 'crash, bang, whallop' that nothing impresses the kids anymore and they take it all in their stride. All the COD games ? They would have blown my mind if I'd seen those about 10 yrs ago.. but people are quite nonchalant about stuff like that now. However, the action is almost too relentless by trying to mirror real war scenarios that you don't get that atmospheric vibe that was in the very first Medal of Honour game, for example. |
