    Ugh, Wii Fit, alongside Brain Age the only games that actually irritate me rather then not being my cup of tea.

    I don't play that many games, and I finish even fewer, so the size of a game library means nothing to me. I'll happily buy a game system that only has 4 or 5 games I want to play, as long as I know that they're really top-tier.

    So this Wii bitching doesn't really apply to me.

    I am disappointed that the Wii doesn't support HD, but whatever.

    Basically I am disappointed with the Wii because I had a DS and around 18 games. I have never had a game system and owned that many games before besides the PC. Usually I only bought 3-4 games for a system or maybe rented most of my games. So when the Wii came out I thought it would be the same thing, where there would be 20 top-notch titles for me to own just like the DS. But really all that's worth buying to me are Nintendo's high-profile titles because I have so many systems and I can only afford to buy the very best. But I'm kind of tired with the Wii anyway and I haven't even picked up games like Super Mario Galaxy 2.

    Didn't I tell you from the beginning that Gamefly was terrible!

    yes but my main problem is that I don't like video games in general I think

    like I like the idea of them

    but I haven't turned my xbox on in months and I use my PS3 for DVDs and I play TF2 (and recently magic) on the computer and that's pretty much it

    Alright, quick poll... The mass effect game the wife and I play is a female Shepard that we carried over from one to two.

    I'm starting a new game with a male shepard to do the guy stuff. So start a game all the way from ME 1 or just start one up on ME2.

    Answer now!

    do both. I find it doesn't really work any other way.

    Actually I have beaten or at least put in 6+ hours on every game I have on my ps3. I should finish Valkyria(second to last mission) and FFXIII which I have probably 30 hours to go.

    Oh yeah, your PS3 might be as decent as an Xbox 360 or PC in due time. Maybe. That's a pretty great thing. Meanwhile, the highest selling game on the Xbox 360, Halo 3, has sold about one third as many copies as a game like Mario Kart Wii. People will complain that the top 10 sellers for the Wii involve games that aren't really games, but then I would discount half the Xbox 360 list as well since half of that list is things like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare, World at War, etc.

    Let's not even get started on the PS3, which has sold dick for games and the only entertaining game I played on it that I couldn't play on any other system was entertaining for a few hours at best.

    Nintendo might have made you angry. It might have made a million of you angry, but they have pleased a good twenty-fold of that amount over the past few years. You're expendable.

    This is my list of PS3 games I want when I eventually get a PS3:

    PS3:
    Uncharted (1+2)
    FF13 (+Versus)
    Team Ico game
    God of War 3
    Ratchet and Clank
    The Last Guardian
    Sorcery
    Heroes on the Move
    Infamous 1 + 2

    I'm excited.

    Little Big Planet is probably the best game I've played on PS3

    it was really fun and cute

    this magic game is really really frustrating. I am having a lot of runs where it seems like there was honestly nothing I could have done better, given the cards I was drawing. meanwhile the enemy computer just, goddamn. it always seems to have the right card in its hand to counter every single thing I do.

    The difficulty level I figured out was not that the computer plays better, it just gets better hands and you get worse hands.

    It happens. In real magic it would be a sign of a deck building issue but since our choices in DotP is pretty limited, there isn't a lot we can do.

    Yeah. The green deck they start you off with has issues. Use it until you unlock something better, then shelve it.

    SRPGs are half the reason I own consoles. Which kills the x-box for me. Actually one of my best friends who owns all system recently sold all his x-box games but ME, ME2, Street Fighter and one more to pick up like 3 more ps3 games.

    Basically if you want srpgs or jrpgs get a playstation. Want 3rd person and first person shooters get an x-box. Well that is if you don't play your fps on your pc.

    I only have green and red right now, still working against white. maybe there is a way to unlock some other decks, I will look around.

    I have been trying red though since it has more fliers...terrible fliers, but fliers none the less.

    my last game, the enemy got out two 0/4 flying walls at the start that paralyzed any offensive attempts I could make for a while. I finally got two 5/4s out. Then she buffed one of her walls to be 1/6, and pacified one of my 5/4s, rendering my set impotent...once again!

    after that it was mainly her getting one of those bloody retarded +3/+3 +Flying until end of turn cards and slowly whittling me down.

    Yeah, I know what you are talking about she took me a bit. I think I finally beat her with the starting green deck just because it got rolling and I had 3 or 4 creatures out an played an overrun. Not much you can do verse an army of 5/5+ trample creatures.

    I have been playing the elf deck recently that I unlocked. It gets rolling and man its insane. I think the blue deck out of the mono-colors is the most powerful of all of them. Which isn't surprising since it is a flying creature/control deck which is a good combo.
