The Video Game Thread

[Meowi]

This thread is dedicated to Video Games. I don't care what people say, they are awesome and they aren't destroying society.
So, are you more Xbox or Atari?
Gush about it here.

I never even mentioned the stuff packs lol. Stuff I have Family Fun, Glamour Life, Teen Style, Kitchen And Bath Interior Design and Mansion And Garden. The Sims rocks my toe socks. I can't wait for Medievil because finally the neighbourhood I've been trying to build on Sims 3 can be a reality

Oh my god, I admire you for this. You're so into it. If I had the money, I would have all these packs & versions of the Sims too. A lot of people I meet only casually play this game, & their Sims are a product of this, which angers me, but I bet you actually take good care of them ...idek

[amberlemegan]

Never much of a crazy video gamer, but i remember being like 8 years old playing Mortal Combat and Sonic with my 7 year old sister on sega. Those were the days

Believe me, this was the result of a LOT of self deprivation to attain these games. No busses to school for a while for me, or lunches for that matter. All about the addiction I do take excellent care of my Sims and spend alot of time manicuring my neighbourhood (A Georgian town based on the Twinbrook map named Illume) and my characters are my beloveds. My main character is one of my own construction named Neva whom I have been RPing on Harry Potter websites for years up until recently. She's a teen at the moment in a band with *ahem" I'll give you a clue: Starts with L and ends with Indsey Their band's named Buckingham Amos and they're currently working their way through the seedy bars while at high school and trying to make it. Even though I'm not a lover of children at all I do fully intend to allow them a large family once they're settled and on their feet in the industry. I even have their names picked out (Lilac, Milo, Poppy, Georgie, Harry and Vianca). Yep. My Neva and Lindsey are broody as anything already. It's lucky that teens can't breed in the game. That's all I'm saying lol. Gah...I need help But really...Sims is one of my biggest loves. It's grown up with me and given me friends where otherwise they were absent. I can still see me playing and loving in years and years to come

[Meowi]

I was a bit of a gamer over the years and I still am now. From Sega Genesis to Wii and DS (my current consoles), I've played a lot over the years. While I do play modern systems, I've been having some throwback fun recently, like playing SNES games on the Sci Fi Forum's 3-way console (I will make some progress on Super Castlevania IV...one of these days ) and my old Game Boy Color, which I just found today

[Mac_Man_Dan]

funny enough had a discussion about this with a top mate today.
i currently have Xbox 360, ps2 and N64...

N64 though is my favourite console and always will be. Was my debut console as a kid and to this day, its still plugged in ready to play. Im a fan of car racing games(big car fanatic so explains 99% racing game collection) but n64 is to this day the only console i have played varied games! plus it has my all time favourite game on it which was also the first game aswell i had. to list the n64 which are more interesting anyway

N64
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Zelda Ocarina of time
Goldeneye
The world is not enough
formula 1(various titles)
and a few other boring ones!

my favourite being Banjo Kazooie. after all these years, never get bored of it even though i have completed it many many times

i did have a gameboy aswell which i played all my Pokemon games on, that also had many hours of my life and many batteries being used !

This was totally deep But really...it's just so intriguing to me as well...something I can actually control in my life. I just made Stevie & Lindsey not too long ago and tried to decorate their house the way I thought It would look, but it was a major fail. I need the Sims 3, might be able to do more stuff with it in the Stevie/Lindsey aura.

[TerraRhiannon]

I'm not a huge gamer, but I do play these games regularly:

Sims 2
Guitar Hero 3 + Aerosmith
New Blood (Surgery Game)
Hells Kitchen ^_^
Raving Rabbids
Spyro
Crash
Mario 1,2,3...

& my favorite of all time, that I had for xBox.... Prince of Persia, sands of time It was the only game in the genre I was kick butt at.

I'm surprised that, since you had a N64 that you didn't have the original Super Smash Bros. I loved that game when I was little. Brawl is good, but not quite the original

You would really love The Sims 3. The graphics are amazing and there's so much more involvement with the neighbourhood and more things to do. I found really good Lindsey and Stevie premade Sims to download (Lindsey's Tusk era and Stevie I think is around Big Love era) which are absolutely fabulous to use as bases. I always mess with the Lindsey though and take him back to his White Album/Rumours Days (The outfit is modelled on the blue jeans and shirt look with the burgundy waistcoat thingeh and sock with sandals) to fit better with my Neva's age.
