I just got Crimson Skies and wow

[I just got Crimson Skies and wow]

Kisrael I would agree with you there.

 

Left stick handles all flying, I did not use the right stick during the entire game. Only time it was needed was on the initial mission when they are taking you throughthe paces.

[I just got Crimson Skies and wow]

I see what you mean about that level.

 

I finally got past it, but not after a few hours of trying and a bought with motion sickness.

 

Good game overall but there is not reason to ever play it again.

[Bad luck with the Xbox]

My XBox usually works pretty well, never had to many problems with it. Ocasionaly freezes when trying to save a game of GTA but thats about it.

 

Ditto to the above.

 

Of course I have never had much problem with any system I have every owned. Other than the NES of course.

[I just got Crimson Skies and wow]

What part would that be? I am at the part in the lost city were you have to go up against the tourists for the two skill tests. Is it after that?

[I just got Crimson Skies and wow]

Little late on the topic but I just got this game and WOW.

 

I would agree with the on par with HALO quote because this is the first game since HALO to have me hooked. Played it for a solid 5 hours last night.

 

Good stuff all around. I am on the find the titanium mine mission and Have just upgraded to the next level of plane. Cool stuff.

[Game and console sales for March]

The box seems to be doing much better! Hurray

[Halo 2]

Jeepnut,

 

Pretty sweet avatar. I have a blue 97 wrangler and an Xbox. I like it.

[unreal tourney 2004]

Anyone play the demo that is out yet?

 

Probably, I am sure. I am usually late on this stuff but I just played a few rounds. Pretty cool, but is it me or is the demo super easy?

 

I havent lost yet.

[What are you playing? (week of March 21 - March 27)]

Raijin, Agreed.

 

I am almost already sick of it.

[What are you playing? (week of March 21 - March 27)]

Playing GTA Vice city right now.

 

I am at the last Club mission where you have to rob the bank. I have been logging some serious time on this game and I am not really that impressed with it.

 

It was fun at first but seems more like work at this point. Also there are times when you are running and get stuck in nasty jaggies in corners. Not fun when you have 10 gang members plugging away at you.

 

At this point it is not so much fun as a mission to beat the thing.

[Crazy deals at blockbuster!]

I got Vice city of 24 bucks, not a scratch on the disc and the original case. I would have gotten NFL 2k3 too but couldnt find a third game I wanted.

[Pitfall the lost expedition]

Anyone play this on the box yet?

 

What is it like?

[Whats the bestworst looking console design?]

Why would someone race a Civic against a Camaro?  Why would someone race a Civic period?  

 

I high end Civic will beat the pants off a Camaro any day in a street race. Didn't you see the fast and the Furious?

 

Depends on whether you are talking about a quarter mile or a longer race but back on topic.

 

I love the Dreamcast design but it is not very sturdy so I will go with the Xbox, ugly but damn strong.

 

As far as best of both worlds, 2600 6 switch woody. Nice looking and long lasting.

[What "Mid Gen" games would you PAY to have remade]

Twisted Metal 1 and 2. Same levels, but better graphics.  

Best. Games. Ever.

 

I will second that suggestion.

 

I spent many, many hours in college playing multi player on those. The twisted metal black was a huge disapointment on the PS2

[Sony: Playing favorites and screwing customers]

Owned it....Played it....Sold it.....

 

Bought an Xbox and I am much happier

[What "Mid Gen" games would you PAY to have remade]

Didnt realize that it was out on the GBA. I do not have one of those. I would like to see an xbox verison of it.

[What "Mid Gen" games would you PAY to have remade]

I would love a remake of the following:

 

Cobra Triangle

1942

Altered Beast

Rush n Attack

[Halo]

I will tell you the only thing I could not sing praises for with Halo was the jumping.

 

I think it sucked. Drove me insane in places.

[Just finished Link to the Past, wow.]

Very good game.

 

I still like F-zero for the SNES. So much replay and two player fun.

[Halo]

I agree the repetiveness was never a factor to me.

 

I wanted more levels though.

[Video games are doomed]

I do not agree that video games are doomed but I do believe they will leave alot of gamers behind with this next gen release. I for one will not purchase a new console for a long time. My Xbox will keep me occupied for many years to come.

 

But there are plenty of people that are just chompin at the bit to get the newest console they can.

[Halo]

Beat the game this morning!

 

I played it on Normal mode and was not very impressed with the ending. All the levels were super fun and that last run through with the warthog was very cool but the end cut scene just seemed rushed and wasnt much.

 

I also did not expect that to be the end of the game, I was expecting another level or two.

 

Very fun overall though. When you play it on legendary what changes. Is there less ammo/guns around. Smarter AI plus more opponents? Less time to do things?

[News about Nintendo's GameCube plans...]

"And I don't like the fact that I grew up with Nintendo, but they won't grow up with me."

 

Nicely said. I agree with most of your post. If you are not going to try and be number 1 and go all out. You are not getting my money. No matter how much I enjoyed/enjoy you systems years past.

[Hidden test level in Goldeneye found]

I think it is pretty cool that they found this and it is cool that there is hiddedn stuff out there like that but what practicle application is there.

 

Can someone hack this and complete the level so you can play it?

[Will today's systems become tomorrow's collectibles?]

I believe the rare stuff will remain collectable as well as mint in box items.

 

As far as them not being collectable because they cost so much. I believe when the 2600 came out it was pretty damn expensive as well. Maybe not 200 bucks but when you take inflation into account, it was basicly the same.
