What video game are you playing?

You could probably find one fairly cheap…or there’s always the EB Games used section as well (although the discounts there can be minimal).

I just finished GOW III and loved it...I play the typical COD, but online i seem to get outmatched and have chalked it up to people using aiming bots rather than me sucking (how else do you explain a guy seeing and killing you from 1/2 across the map).

I'm playing Gran Tourismo right now with my son, and searching for that next game to captivate my attention.

I had an Atari 2600. Represent.

I am also old enough to vividly remember the CollecoVision and the Intellivision. Still for me, the best two systems ever were the NES and the SNES. Games today are way too damn complicated. NHL 11 has like 70 buttons (or button combos) to remember. What the hell ever happened to 2-3 buttons? Shoot, pass, change player. That's all you really need!

still have my SNES at home in working condition, but missing a lot of my games now, lost between moving and such, still remember nhl 93 though, with that one wrap around move that worked every time, you don't get anything like that anymore.

I had NHL 95 for Sega Genesis. With a left handed shooter you could break down the right wing and cut into the middle around the top of the circle and score with a slapshot EVERY time.

I still have several classic SNES games, like Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, and Aerobiz Supersonic. Nothing on these new systems are like these classics sadly.

that you are right on, the video game makers just don't care anymore, thank goodness for emulators though, if I ever need a fix, I can just play them all on my pc, wonder if I can download them to my ps3 and use a controller instead of the stupid keyboard lol.

My favourite game in a looooong time. There are downloads that have come out recently to go along with the main game.

Have you played the expansions? Are it worthwhile?
