Wow Outlaws is definitely a blast from the past! Great addition to this thread for sure, and it's making me want to go back and play it too. I always had a fondness for the FMV games like Rebel Assault and Rebel Assault II, those two Star Wars games were actually pretty decent for what they were.

Xbox Live Gold offers you a lot of benefits for your console, the same way that PlayStation Plus offers benefits for PS owners. First of all, you get Games with Gold, which is two free games every month, so right there you've made up for the yearly $60 subscription. You also get Deals with Gold...

You totally just reminded me of the times as a kid where I'd print out step-by-step walkthroughs, and you'd always get to a point where the walk-through was so vague or not clear enough and I'd get so mad. I did recently print out giant maps for DC Universe Online; there's Gotham and...

I haven't seen anyone mention Midnight Club: Los Angeles, which was developed by Rockstar San Diego. I played it on the Xbox 360 and it's actually a decent racing game. You can see where they used some of the driving mechanics for Grand Theft Auto, or maybe it's the opposite...

This thread has made me change my answer about three times as I read everyone's response. Skyrim is a solid pick, and considering I have about 200 hours in it, and could easy put in another 20000+ (especially with mods, as what mentioned). My other option would be an MMORPG, for example I'm...

I'm guilty of using walkthroughs and YouTube to help me with gaming, but it's purely a time issue. It feels like there are so many games that are constantly coming out, and I feel like I have a lot less time that I can allocate to my gaming. I'll still have gaming marathons once in a while, but...

I love Saints Row! I'm almost afraid to admit it, but there are times when I think it's more fun than Grand Theft Auto (although I respect that series immensely). SR2 was amazing, and I played the crap out of it, but I'm surprised to hear that you didn't like Saints Row: The Third, I thought it...

Sam & Max was awesome! Telltale Games actually released a sequel of sorts a few years ago (along with Monkey Island) and they were outstanding. In fact, I need to dig those up and play again. Full Throttle was also excellent (that opening theme song was killer!), and so was Grim Fandango (that...

The most memorable boss fights for me have been from the Legend of Zelda series. Ever since the very first game on the NES to the last one released, these are games that were defined by the boss fights, especially before the Internet. From feeding bombs to the Dodongo in the first Legend of...

If you want a good fighting game on the Wii, look no further than Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For something that had a real chance of being really lame and just a cash grab, it ended up being a very solid (and fun) fighting game. In terms of beat 'em ups, the TMNT game was fun for a few hours of...

Sounds like your roommate had other issues that just happened to manifest themselves with his gaming. Are the video games to blame for his behaviour, or is it that he already had some deeply rooted aggression issues? I'm not a psychiatrist and I've never met him so I couldn't tell you for...

"How appropriate, you fight like a cow!" Haha I loved the insult sword-fighting, what a inventive way to add some action in an adventure game. I don't know about losing their element, I played Costume Quest recently and was blown away with how fun it was. I didn't think it would be that great...

I'm not one to say who should play what. The beauty of gaming is that there is such a variety, and being a gamer myself, the more people that play games, the better the industry will be. The thing with Minecraft is that it is very accessible; pretty much anyone can play it because the controls...

I know it may not be the popular opinion, but $60 for a game is more than fair. The retail cost of video games has actually gone down (if you count inflation), but the quality of the games has gone through the roof. I paid the same amount for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES that I did...

I've been gaming since the Atari days, but I'll admit that I don't consider myself to be that good at games overall. I'm OK with FPS shooters, adventure games, sports games, etc. but what I really struggle with are fighting games... I just can't get the stupid controls to work for me. The last...

Rockstar is without a doubt one of my favourite video game developer and publisher. They've come out with so many amazing games, it's almost a given that any new R* release will be a hit. So, let's talk about which Rockstar game was your first and which game is your favourite. My first was...

@mtayp01 I'd suggest just going with an Xbox 360 controller. If you have a wired one, you can plug it in directly into a USB port and Windows will recognize it. If you want to use a wireless controller, you can get a wireless dongle for the PC from eBay for fairly cheap. I've been using a X360...

The Legend of Zelda, all the way. That shiny gold cartridge! The magnificent music! The open-world excitement! You can't beat that in my mind. It was the first Nintendo game I've ever owned and played, and it was glorious. It's also the very first game I've ever beaten, and listen kids, this was...

I've definitely played Neverwinter Nights (for the PC) the most out of all RPGs, I think... But then again I've sunk in a ridiculous amount of time in Skyrim, as with most people who've played that beautiful delicious marvel that is that game. That's a really tough question to answer. Dragon...

Back in the late eighties/early nineties, LucasArts could do no wrong with me in terms of adventure games. Game after game was released, and I enjoyed each one more than the next. It truly started for me with Maniac Mansion that introduced us to "SCUMM", which was the scripting language behind...
