'Its got to be MarioKart Wii,
What other game can you use skill at getting to pole position and then losing by a bombardment of shells? NONE I SAY!
I then curl up into a courner... and weep'

Wow, that was fucking ages ago man.

Tell me a nerdy/dorky fact about yourself.http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.122617?page=3#2473239

"I play Runescape, visit Lolcats, I own 3 snorgtees, I still have some Yu-Gi-Oh(did I spell that right)and Pokemon cards and several pokemon games, I bought a Sonic game(although I didn't like it), and I have 6 swords and 2 shuriken. TOP THAT"

Ah, where do the 25 days go?

Spoiler: In a thread titled: Best 360 Game? Not Including Halo in the title

Fallout 3: The PC version barely froze up on me, and I played that thing CONSTANTLY, 90 hours plus, so I don't think it was too bad. You can still get the achievements for 360, and you can have mods and even enter cheats (if thats your sort of thing.) All in all, it's a larger amount of stuff for the same price, so as long as your machine is man enough (this game is a beast, albiet nothing like what Crysis was on my rig), I say go for it! Only for fans of Oblivion-esque gameplay, although many elements have been improved. It strikes me more as a refinement of Oblivion than anything else, but it's still a nice game.

Hmmm....a lot of my faves were already posted. Mass Effect is supposed but be better on PC due to the fact that they streamlined that awful inventory system (the one thing that stunk about that game.) I'd probably get it for 360 anyways, just because of the "no achievments on the pc version" thing, but do yourself a favor and do not get the DLC. It's a waste.

Gears 2 is worth it if you thought Gears was ok. Gears 2 has loads of improvements, not only new weapons and junk to use. My favorite is the filler bots they sub in until players join the game. They're not BRILLIANT, but they do the job for average folks. Oh, and the plot ain't half bad, for a second installment in a trilogy. Horde is also well worth it with friends.

Lost Planet is an OK pick... but there's better fish to fry, especially if you don't like to game for long sessions. It takes a LOT of time invested into this game to beat it, simply due to the fact that it's not easy and somewhat exploration-based in it's nature.

FEAR is...interesting. Get it if you feel the need for some horror-shooty action, but the achievements are damn hard and the gameplay is no chump either. Good for the experienced 1st person player though.

I thought Prey was fun, I'd recommend playing a demo first though to see if you like it. Everything about it was fun in some strange way, although you do have to be a bit forgiving about certain parts. I would've appreciated some better weaponry in particular.

BIOSHOCK... it's just a must have. Any minor flaws you might find are offset by the fact that you have to be incredibly picky to find them.

Rock Band 2 over Guitar Hero, if only because the difficulty is still scaled better, and you have access to all the previous songs in the series.

I'll add on my thoughts as they stir up.

My first post, and already this much writing... I'm sure that this will be fun.

I look at the last line of that these days and LAUGH.

 

[Random Argument Man]

From ZeroPunctuation: Painkiller

"

That was fantastic. I enjoyed the review and hope that he goes back to review older titles instead of giving in to the massive outcry of Mario Kart fans and other such popular games...

I dont think that Yatzee will review Mario Kart on wii. Why?

1st Because we will have the argument "Nintendo tends to wack their own franchise too much" (Nothing personnal just using deduction).

2nd Just watch the Brawl review and you will have something quite similar for Mario Kart...

3rd When there's a review about a game that fanboys cried about, after the review, we will see the "OMG YOU SUCK, THAT GAME IS SO GOOD YOU HAVE NO TALENT, bla bla bla" argument...oh wait I mean the idiotic ranting.

(Sorry if I made some grammar errors in this)"

So....Grammar errors and fucked up the quote thing. I feel ashamed of myself.

[theklng]

in advance i want to say that this is a logical riddle, unlike the usual trick question riddles posted here. dont read between the lines because it wont give you the answer.

you are in a room with three switches. in another room, not visible and unreachable from your room, there is a light bulb. once you enter the room with the light bulb, you cannot go back. which of the switches switch on the light bulb?


hint: you can assume that this takes place on earth.

 

[Ranooth]

Yet another awesome review.

Going to annoy you now and say REVIEW FALLOUT 3!!!

 

[the captain]

My first post was in the How do you want to Die thread.

I would want to go as a very old man in bed with 3 women whose combined age is about half of mine. what can i say, i'm a dreamer.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

My oh so polite first post on the Escapist:
Do console exclusives piss you off?

Nice run-on.

Anyways, no, I don't hate them.
It's called competition, it's what economies are made of.
That's what makes games better. So be grateful.

I started on the right foot, for sure.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Apart from another Bioshock, Zelda and Animal Crossing (Which I'm pretty damn sure are in production now); Amped 4, Crackdown 2 (with better graphics and a better story) and a big 3D Pokemon for the Wii (Maybe based on Kanto or Johto). Oh and a remake of Pokemon Silver, Gold and Crystal for the Gameboy Advance or DS.

Ahh, memories.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

Aww look my very first post, back when i was a baby here at the escapist. How much ive grown...and grown to dislike all of you...ok well maybe not all of you.

I was about to say... Something... uh, along the lines of, "NOT ME TOO!!! *sobs*"

Glad I don't have to now. Y'know, just throwing myself in there with the exceptions. Of course.

& Also, Umbrella is evil BECAUSE IT'S EVIL!
And makes some crazy drugs.

Mine was from a thread named "How should we name planets?"

Name it after the star it orbits. For example, take a planetary system that orbits the star Polaris. Just name the planets Polaris I, Polaris II, Polaris III etc. If they're eventually colonized, I'm sure the people who colonize them will eventually come up with unique names.

 

[wewontdie11]

From "Top Ten Hardest Game Characters":

"Can't be anyone other than Duke Nukem, I mean he has balls of steel AND he would rip your head off and s*** down your neck without hesitation, while shooting aliens in the face.

That's pretty hard if you ask me."

That was a looooooong time ago now...

 

[Rascarin]

Mine is from the thread "Nine Year Old codes iPhone App". My post is as follows:

If Ding Wen can, so can you

I want that on a T-Shirt.

(Hi, i'm new here ^-^ )

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

lol i almost have no idea what this last post was all about. Youre lucky youre cute! haha.

No there are plenty of people i respect and enjoy talking to on here, you are in my cool book...for now.

I was responding to your first post, of course! I mean, that's the rational thing to do, right? ...Right?

For now!? Oh, I'll always be there.
Unless your book simply cannot handle my awesomeness that is.

 

[bodyklok]

My first post was some fanboy comment in a thread called "What headlines would you like to see?" I like to think that I've grown up a bit since then. Though some might disagree.

 

[Hippobatman]

Topic's along the lines of "Which games are you most looking forward to?"

Fable 2
Spore | I've downloaded the Creature-creator-thingy and I'm having a blast ^^
Starcraft 2
Rock Band (hasn't been released in norway yet -_-)

Yup, back in the day.
