What video game are you playing?

There are some old ones...unless I'm wrong those are C64 games (at least Space Taxi was).
My favorites were M.U.L.E. Sword of Fargoal and the ultimate baseball simulator (can't remember the name). Wow that takes me back. My buddies and I had a book with every baseball stat for every player going back to the early 1900's and we'd draft players put them into the sim and then play games against each other.

Those were good times.

Favourite Atari game was Kaboom followed closely by Adventure.

Favourite Commodore 64 game? Didn't really have one.

I remember wasting countless hours of my youth on Qbert, the games package (Summer 1&2, Winter, World, and California), plus as well Test Drive, which has definitely come a long way since the Commodore 64

Anyone play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer? I've heard good things and was thinking of picking it up just for the multiplayer. It must be pretty cheap on Steam by now.

They also just released a Vietnam expansion pack for the multiplayer.

I've heard good things from people, but have never played it myself.

What makes them unique is that the environments can be destroyed. This apparently discourages campers since you can blow them up, along with the walls of the corner they are hiding in.

Those of you who have a PS3 should be warned that Sony recently got hacked.

Careful making blanket statements. It's still not clear if that information was stolen for all users or a select group of users. This statement is vague and can be intrepreted to mean that only a group of users had their information stolen. Also it appears that only credit information that was stored on the server may have been taken, if you've used a credit card but not stored the info (which is just silly to be honest) on the server then you're likely fine.

Sony is giving PSN members 2 free games out of like 5 as well as some other stuff. I just applied the firmware update and had to reset my password but the store is still under maintenance so I guess you can't download anything yet. And there's not much communication about it on the PS screen.

Well, something is always better than nothing! Unless we're talking STDs, I guess.

Oh and I am playing LA Noire...

Not as good as RDR or GTA, so far not as much free roam functionality, though I have no idea if that changes/opens up after beating the game or getting past a certain point.

Nice graphics. Story is pretty easy. The most challenging can be distinguishing between if a person is telling the truth, lying or you doubt their story. Successfully determining their story's accuracy rewards you. I also find it frustrating that if you wish to restart a certain part of a mission (which involves interrogations, driving, etc etc) so it is time consuming and would be nice to replay just one specific part and not the entire story.

I think I'll start playing FInal Fantasy Complete Saga or whatever for the PSP.

Anyone have the PSP BTW? I re-discovered it and am really enjoying it.

So far, I have:

Thrillville
God of War - the old one I think
Hot Shots Gold Open Tee 1 and 2 - 2 is SICK
Pirates - cool game so far.
Untold Legends or something like that

I have an older one, bought it about 5 years ago, and I pretty much used it primarily to play poker. Haven't played it in over a year or so now.

I'm desperate to find a PS3 MMORPG.

Since I finished Infamous and God Of War II I'm left feeling meh with the recent releases. I hear Portal is good, but I'll be honest I get my butt kicked by oodles of kids each night playing MAG or COD Black Ops.

MAG is sort of like a MMORPG, and I hear DC Universe is decent, but leveling is very quick and there are lots of glitches. ANyone hear anything about a true MMORPG for the PS3 or due to the type of game system it is, (IE unilke PC) it's not likely to happen.

You may be interested in Final Fantasy 14 then 22, its a MMORPG, has to have a paid subscription though I believe, unlike other PS3 games. If any of you guys are on the PSN and want to play sometime, provided we have any matching games lol, my PSN id is Kratos17nb or Kratos71nb, for the life of me, I just drew a blank and have no freaking clue, pretty sure its the first one though, I never talk to myself on the PSN lol. I finally got Black Ops, not very good at playing online, way more deaths than kills, but am always up for playing, and if I could ever figure out how to get my bluetooth headset working, might be able to take advantage of that as well.
