Video Games?

Shadows i loved the twist in Bioshock. If you found all the audio diaries and really pay attention to them it kinda foreshadowed everything that happens ... in particular listen to Jasmine Jolie's journal when you find her body.
John Doe if you liked Oblivion then you will love Fallout 3 as they were made by the same team , and Fallout 3 is pretty simply Oblivion w/ guns ... but it's so much more too.
On to Bioshock 2's multiplayer ... it's the reason the game was delayed. I prefer single player mode.

I wonder how many differences(besides the Achievements) there are between the PC version and the console versions. Did you play it on the PC or on a console?

(besides my PC all I own console-wise are a Gamecube and a PS1. I don't even play either of those.)

I'm a console only gamer. Gaming on a pc can get very expensive quickly.

Well, I agree with you somewhat. If you purchase a half-decent rig you will still be able to play the majority of games with all the bells and whistles and the computer game is cheaper to purchase(on average) than the exact same game on a console.

Of course, both consoles and computers always seem to be on a never-ending cycle. You purchase the "new" machine and it rocks! Then in only a few short years you have to fork out more money on a new system because the old one isn't good enough any more. If all console systems were backwards compatible so that all the games from the older systems were playable on the new one(because a classis is a classic after all) then I would be more apt to purchase a console system.

Nothing wrong with consoles, though. I am not one of those computer owners that look down upon console users.:D I just wish that the ports of games originally from consoles wouldn't suck so bad sometimes. I pay hard-earned money just like a console gamer, so why should I get an inferior product?

The 360 is backwards compatible w/ alot of old X-Box games , and the Wii can play your Gamecube games. One of the launch model PS3's was b.c. w/ ps1 and ps2 games ... it had a bigger harddrive and extra usb ports and had silver detailing but Sony removed the chip from all the following PS3 models. I have just always favored consoles as my gaming platform.

Thanks for the tips, rockabilly. I guess I'll hold off on getting PS3 then(to play the PS1 games I have) since they will no longer play the old games.

And consoles can be a lot of fun. I remember hours and hours of multiplayer(and single player) gaming with Goldeneye on the N64. One of the best games EVER!

And at a friend's house we used to play WWE(WWF back then) wrestling on the console(the N64 as well, I think). Four player gaming at it's finest.

PS3 does have alot of good exclusive games and more coming ... oh and they plan to release God of War 1 and 2 w/ enhanced graphics and resolution on PS3 when God of War 3 comes out. Maybe they will release more enhanced PS2 games at a bargain price. I'll get a PS3 later , maybe when it hits $200.

And the Fallout 3 dlc is worth picking up. It fixes the game ... by that i mean it raises the level cap , has new perks , new quests in new areas , armour , weapons , enemies , and opens up the wasteland for exploratpion after finishing the main quest. :D

I hope they release the GTA IV goodies for the PC(as it would mean more money in their pockets!). However, I still have to pick up GTA IV.:D

I'll pick up the Fallout 3 dlc later. Thanks for the tip.
