I am addicted to the new Call of Duty game. I hope my headset is delivered today or tomorrow. My headset broke and I hate not being able to talk to my buddies or call out where I just got shot at.

Wow, guess I'm old school. We have a PS2 and Wii. Back in my PC gaming days I was heavily into FPS, Doom, Quake, Half-life. Now I'm more into games requiring a little more thought.
PS2:
Gave up on TW PGA Tour when they dropped Feherty and McCord.
Love Madden, but refuse to play 2010 with the Anti-Christ as the QB for my Vikings. I know I could change the roster, but I like to play using the actual roster for the current season.
The SOCOM series is one of my favorites on the PS2. FPS elements, but on a lot of missions, you can't just blast everything.
The wife and I had a lot of fun with Gladius. It's a good mix of RPG and turn-based arena combat.
Champions: Return to Arms was fun, but suffered from occasional lockups.
Hot Shots Golf Fore is fun, but frustrating playing the higher level NPCs.
GH 3, Aerosmith, and Metallica are great. I suck, but I'll play until my hands start cramping.

Wii:
We haven't bought a lot of games, as they're more expensive, but Wii Sports is a lot of fun, as well as Deca Sports I & II, although I detest Curling and Petanque :rolleyes:

Any suggestions? Might be open to trades for smokes if any of you on PS3 are looking to offload some PS2 games, too.

Recently picked up Borderlands(360) and super mario brothers (wii). Both are fantastic games.

Played mario last night with two other friends and had a blast! If you enjoyed any of the old mario games for the nes or super nes you will love this one. :tu

Yep, both great games. Borderlands i've had a ton of fun with and will probably pick up the DLC after the holiday season. And the New Super Mario Wii game is fantastic, excellent gameplay and fun multiplayer.

I'm getting close to the end of Assasin's Creed 2. This is a huge game. I am trying to get all the extra goodies done before the end, but I can't find more than half of the feathers. It has been an interesting story line but I have a feeling there will be no end to set uo AC 3.

I finished it, there will be :tu It is a massive game, I took my time with it, prob a good 40 hours total to finish. Really awesome though, I like the fact you can freeplay when it's done to go back and do the things you might have skipped or missed.

You need to collect 50 feathers for the last weapon and 100 feathers for the Auditore cape. And that last tomb was tough, took me a few tries. There is a neat easter egg in that last tomb, if push the switch and look into the water for a moment a giant squid shows up :r

If you ever get out to california I will let you get that last seal for me. Tomorrow I will look for more feathers and finish off the assasin contracts. Those are fun.

An easy way to find feather is to find a high spot and switch on the eagle vision. They have a gold blur, makes it easier to find.

Mass Effect, from Bioware. Sci-fi RPG, but without a doubt the best RPG I've ever played, hands down. And I've been playing RPGs for years. I've gone through the game 3x now, playing 3 different characters. About 40-50 hrs game time each run through. Each was a different experience. Awesome game, and relatively cheap now since it's over a year old.

DragonAge: Origins is out now, also from Bioware. Supposed to be even better than Mass Effect, but the system requirements are too high for me right now. :(

I think I will pick up Dragon Age today.

I downloaded the Dante's Inferno demo on PSN and it is sick. I wasn't too interested in it before but now I think i'm definitely gonna pick it up. It's pretty much god of war meets the crusades.

Seems a friend of mine didn't take kindly to the fact that I hadn't picked up MW2 for the PS3 so he's mailing me a copy :r

Whats bothering you about MW2 multiplayer? Is it the insane amount of glitches and hacks? The patch that broke more than it fixed? The infinite ammo and no reload virus?

Truth be told it's starting to lose it's luster for me too. Just got the GTA Liberty City stories, gonna take a break and work through that for awhile.

You nailed it!
And for one I'm not a guy to sit and play it Everyday, All day, every chance i get... the hell with that dedication lol, I would rather rock some Borderlands a bit here or there, etc.

ME2 should have similar requirements. May be time to upgrade the vid card, there are plenty of deals on good cards right now.

My vidcard (GeForce 8600GT 256MB) & RAM (3GB) should be good, it's my processor: DragonAge says it needs dual core, and all I got is Athlon64 3400+. :( From what I've read, ME2 is on the same engine as ME, right? I'm hoping that's the case...!

There is a demo available for Dante's Inferno on both xbox and ps3.. I was on the fence too, but after giving the demo a go I was sold. Plus it's made by the same studio that did Dead Space, doubt it will turn out bad.

Red Dead Redemption and Splinter Cell: Conviction are both coming out in the next quarter and will be def. titles I pick up.

Been a while since I've been on CA..

I can't get into Borderlands. Just isn't any fun. Hooked on MW2 but as others stated there's too many glitchers and boosters.

I WAS playing it until my Mac's HD went out on me. I didn't have the Windows partition backed up and there went my progress. I finished the game and did plenty of side quests with a level 40+ Hunter. When I get another copy of windows maybe we can get in a match?

Well then, maybe I'll need to pick up a copy for the 360. What else do you play on the 360?

Also, are the bugs I've read about in online play for Borderlands fixed yet? I read that people were losing their stats when going online in multiplayer matches.
