As all Playstation users know, the PSN has been down for quite some time. The reason, it's been hacked and a lot of our personal information has been compromised. This may or may not include credit card information. Please take the proper precautions, fuckers.

I haven't played RS in awhile though.

I've been playing swords and sworcery on my iphone...pretty damn cool

[boost]

I often think, "hey, I should smoke some bud and play video games.. that would be awesome!" But then I smoke some bud and I just get stuck being high on the forums or watching tv/movies...

Boost, do you have an iPad or iPhone? Swords and sworcery would be pretty awesome high. It's 2.99 for iPhone and 4.99 for iPad/iPhone.

So you should at least check out the soundtrack...it actually costs more than the game if you buy it...

I haven't played it in a while. But if you can find a server with some cool people, it's a whole lot of fun.

It's sad that I want to buy a new, more powerful comp just to play a lego-graphics game.

Portal 2 is the best thing to happen to Sunday morning since God said that Sunday's were for doing shit all.

Is this something that translates well to console or do you need a pc for it?

L.A. Noire has been excellent. It could easily be a game that you'll start playing and be through the first disc (for Xbox it has 3 discs) several hours later without ever thinking of the time.

[BennyLaRue]

So many Google articles on this, don't know where to start...does anyone know if there are release dates for either PS4 or Xbox720 (yes, I made that shit up)?

[bigred]

Oh shit, xbox720? I must inform the masses!

[triumphant cracker]

i just recently found this. yes sir its old...however, it is funny.

oh benny!!!!
Xbox 720 - Google Search
it's coming soon.....how soon? um..well i'll get back to ya.

[BennyLaRue]

Wait, I...didn't...make that shit up? This is really what they're going with...720?

That's either lame or clearly I'm so fucking good at branding I can't even help myself.

[bigred]

wait wat

Just got an email from Playstation saying that we get two free PS3 games, two free PSP games, and some other stuff as a way of saying thanks for our patience.

For PS3 we have to choose between these games:

Dead Nation™
InFAMOUS™
LittleBigPlanet™
Super Stardust™ HD
WipEout® HD Bundle

Which two should would you choose? I have InFAMOUS and I think LittleBigPlanet is an obvious choice.

[lolzzz_321]

i played me some mutuant league football and hockey

[BooG690]

Get LBP. Stardust is pretty good as well.

YouTube - ‪Battlefield 3 - Full Length "Fault Line" Gameplay Trailer‬‏

Battlefield 3. Anyone else getting this? It's going to go head to head with Modern Warfare 3. Modern Warfare 3 is still using the same basic engine from Call of Duty 4 and will probably look dated compared to this, I think.

Dude, you only had it up for 40 minutes.

Pretty sweet though. Would of course need to see the game graphics but the potential is there for an amazing storyline.

This is another example of why George Lucas needs to have all things Star Wars pried out of his grubby fingers...other people would take it to awesome places.

The trailer's amazing but it's an MMO. No thanks.

MMO? I just thought it was an RPG like Mass Effect. Please say its not MMO, please please please.

Tomb Raider: Official Trailer (E3 2011)

Tomb Raider may have finally gotten awesome again.

I suggest watching this in 1080p.

[lolzzz_321]

lets play some ops, BR

[bigred]

Won't be anywhere near my xbox until Tuesday.

Vegas!

[boost]

ya, I'm pretty sure its an MMO... Star Wars Galaxies was a pretty big flop considering the intellectual property it is based on... so I'm not surprised that they'd give it another try.

[bigred]

Fuck. I am sad panda.

Star Wars TOR is an MMO.

The new Bioshock looks absolutely awesome.
I am reserving judgement about Halo as all I play for is the damn story line. And tbh the story line went to shit after the first 5 mins of Halo 2.
WTF @ the new fable having that much kinect functionality.
I'm pretty sure I saw the new w/e Skirim with a bunch of kinect function as well.

[lolzzz_321]

BR, just play KOTR if you want a good Star Wars RPG.

Halo... They are remaking the first Halo and making Halo 4; however, neither is made by Bungie so they'll probably suck.

[JL]

I downloaded Dead Nation for PS3 as one of my free games, and it is surprisingly good. Co-op mode is a lot of fun.

[bigred]

Anyone have any xbox live arcade multiplayer recs? Basically I'm looking for some simple 2d 4 player games to smoke with some friends and play. Already got n+ thanks to Gabe.

[BooG690]

I have an Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception multiplayer beta voucher code if anyone's interested. Send me a PM.

Get me five green boxes and the code's yours (looking at you Bigred).

[bigred]

haven't played one of those games...or care. sucks for u aryan!

A reminder to any PS3 owners out there, if you haven't already claimed your two free games you only have about 48 hours to do so

I got Infamous and Wipeout

[bigred]

[BooG690]

They extended it a couple of days I believe.

this game is so much win - glad they finally did the orignal some justice with a follow up after the crap 2nd

[bigred]

Bought it. Great purchase. I love this game.

[lolzzz_321]

so it's like a platformer?

[oskar]

When did jump-and-run games become platformers?
But it's not really a jump and run game.
You don't so much run as you do waddle, and you don't jump as much as you hop into bear traps.

It's hard to describe. Play the demo. It's in a league of its own.

[bigred]

I believe platformers were always jump and run...no?

[boost]

I believe platformers were always jump and run...no?

yes, as in you are jumping and running from platform to platform.

For those of you who don't remember, Syndicate was one of the coolest fucking games ever... and it looks like they are doing a quality remake/spin on/of the original. I mean, they even got he music right...

Did anyone watch this? It's worth 3 minutes of your life for some lafs

[bigred]

Ugh, I miss first person shooters with a mouse

[oskar]

Of all the shooters Battlefield is probably the one that suffers the least from console gameplay.
When it came out on the PC it was swarming with aimbots and wallhacks - I think that is mostly resolved, but you can still get an advantage by just tinkering with your graphics for better visibility.
There is no mouse smoothing option, it's just permanently on by default. If you're used to playing without it, then it's really hard to hit anything. - That's my biggest problem with it, because it's so unnecessary.
On a console those are non-issues because everyone has the same graphics settings, and aiming is as shitty as it can be, and it is equally shitty for everyone regardless of personal preferences.

[boost]

You can still tweak your TV's settings to get an advantage.

[oskar]

That's one sick killstreak.

[boost]

I watched, it's pretty funny. Reminds me of fat on skype.

As a huge fan of the first game I am really looking forward to Arkham City.

Also, Uncharted 3.

[bigred]

I haven't played either Arkham's (except for a quick demo of the original) but I agree. It looks awesome!
