The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames)

[Hypnagogia]

traded in Borderlands, Infamous, and Little Big Planet for a cherry but used copy of Heavy Rain last night.

Got a whopping $8 for LBP & $10 for Infamous; should have kept them.

Borderlands at least fetched $35.

But I also learned of LA Noire, which sounds like it could be great.


how reliable is Game Informer?

Splinter Cell Conviction demo is on XBL. Pretty sweet.

last one I played was the 2nd one, and it was getting kind of tedious...
He was old then...who's this young guy w/ the same name?

but will check this out if it's on PSN.

I have no idea, never played a SC game before. I don't think this is coming out on PS3 btw.

they're owned by gamestop so impartiality is questionable.

on the other hand they sometimes get news and previews earlier than others

Don't forget the pretty pictures. It's not a bad magazine, toilet reading wise, I guess. Not something I'd ever pay for though.


I'm about to pull a Spacehamster and play Uncharted 2 before the first one... I hope it doesn't try to import my character from the previous game, because I don't need my PS3 to create a black hole near my couch.

It'll probably make one anyway since you're playing a game on a system with no games!!!1

I wish I had a ps3... FF Versus XIII Demon souls Chubby Precipitation

Wish I had a PS3 to play Yakuza 3.

You should own one just to play GoW III on a big full HD screen TV.

The scale and visual quality of this game are just stoopid.

You should own one just to play GoW III on a big full HD screen TV and through a bitchin' 7.1 surround sound system.

The scale, visual quality, and audio quality of this game are just stoopid.

TV speakers alone do not do the game justice.

True - I took that part for granted.

So I guess Jamie Foxx is playing Lynch in the Kane and Lynch movie. What the fuck?

Gay. That article was right on about Kevin Gage aka Waingro being perfect. It's not like this is going to be some artistic statement movie.

I finished Uncharted 2. Awesome game, they improved a lot. The final boss was kinda disappointing, I think they took too serious the complains about "the twist" in the first one. FFS, it is a video game.

I still can't believe Nate fell for Elena, come on, Chloe is 1000 times hotter.

This weekend I am traveling with the family, so Mass Effect 2 will have to wait until next week.

[BroMan]

So I blew my first paycheck (it was the only small one I'll get) on GOW3 today. I can only say two words about it HOLY FUCK! I have never played a game that detailed, or that nice looking. I thought Uncharted looked good! Wow and I like how they added the new addons with the weapons. Zeus is still a cheater just like in gow2. Anyway One of the best games I've played and everyone needs to see whats after the credits.

That blood trail makes you wonder what game Kratos will be in next. Considering God of War was supposed to be a trilogy, and they love saying we'll see him outside of GOW eventually.

If they ever do a God of War IV, Kratos should go after Asgard.

I hope they're playing Street Fighter or Tekken or something like that and the loser has to yank.

Switzerland's about to pass a ban on violent videogames. The definition reads something like "any game where violence contributes to success in the game". Fucking brilliant. Super Mario Bros.: cause of school shootings.



Thank God I'll still be able to import UK games, but now they'll probably start castrating the Swiss PSN store and XBL marketplace like they do in Germany.

[spacehamster]

They should ban that next. But from the looks of things, the next thing will be drinking in public. Because, you know, we Europeans are so much more enlightened than those stupid, conservative Americans with their restrictive puritan laws. *barf*

By the way, importing from the UK will be illegal, but I don't expect that to be a problem.

EDIT looking further into this, I get the impression that in its current form (two contradictory motions, one with a vague definition that can never hold water legally), this is never going to work, and they probably just passed something overly convoluted so that it won't be resolved until the next elections, at which point everyone will conveniently forget about it.

Well, you still have Krokus and cave cheese.

Going back and forth between New Super Mario Bros and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I haven't been on Xbox live in a while so I may just have to fire it up and play some BC2 online tonight.

I saw that porno... I think each of those girls nonchalantly do sex stuff with the stunt cock while the other two bame... so the GIF is pretty much truth in advertizing
