I have a completely unrelated question.

 

What should I spend my money on?

 

Recently I've been getting bored, with nothing particularly interesting to read (sequels, new books in a series, books by favourite authors and such) and with games that are beginning to become stale. I've been a GameInformer subscriber for the last few months, and there's not much I care for that has an acceptable rating (damn big-budget companies only churning out M-rated games...) in their magazines, at least nothing that will be out in the next month or two.

 

I've been considering a few things, but keep getting distracted. I've been pondering renewing my Runescape subscription as well as buying World at War, though the former isn't a permanent attraction and the latter has likely declined in players. What I want to know is what games you guys enjoy outside of the usual free text-based, browser, or download games, because I'm obviously only looking at a small portion of the market. Right now I have a Wii, PS3, and fairly high-end custom Windows XP computer, so if anyone recommends Halo I will just get agitated.

 

So, any suggestions?

Well you could download the Halo: Combat Evolved Demo, for the computer. The total war series is great, if you like seeing huge numbers of soldiers kill each other. For a decent computer, Medieval 2: Total war is good, but if your computer can take it, maybe the newer Empire: Total war or Napoleanic: Total War.

 

Age of Empires is an old favorite.

Runescape has not been worth playing since 2007, its lost its feel and ethos.

 

If I were you I'd probably get into sim city, these games literally never ever get old; you can play and play and play and it will always be fun, otherwise Gmod, God of war, Diablo 3 (which is coming soon) and Red Dead redemption all look good.

 

Also, has anyone seen this trailer for bioshock 3, its set in the sky citys of Russia now I think and has new big daddys with beating hearts, it looks fantastic.

Can't, tried/don't really like it, and already have it in that order.

You're probably right, I have Sim City 2000 which is awesome if a bit old, Gmod I hate, God of War is damned inappropriate, Diablo 3 does look awesome, Red Dead is probably a no go with my parents, and I WANT Bioshock. Any Bioshock, to be honest. Why are there American flags if it's in Russia, and I don't think those are Big Daddies. I believe the Bioshock 1 & 2 Big Daddies were alive as well, as for the new golem things extra points for guessing the weak spot. :rolleyes:

The newer Simcities are really great. If you search for mods, you can add all kinds of useful roads and stuff, including light rail. Lots of fun. :thumbup:

I have sim city societes and to be honest I don't really think it adds up to sim city 2000.

 

If red dead is a no go with your parents than bioshock will go a lot worse, but it is a very good game, bioshock 2 has a bit of a [cabbage]ty storyline (first big daddy awakened at a later time, its too much of a 'your special' feel instead of a 'you've got to battle your way out of here' feel. Bioshock 3 seems to be returning to a thought provoking game.

And its not a big daddy but it is like it, just serving a different function. I think that big daddy is a member of the thought police.

 

Diablo 3 seems great, really addicting though: if there is multiplayer and map designers than maybe the tavern could play games there.

 

COD is plain, boring and not changed very often, it has nothing thought provoking and no fun weapons and its just a fail.

Sim societies isn't part of the Simcity series, imo. Go with Simcity4, deluxe.

Simcity societes

 

Or do you think its really bad? I enjoy it but I prefer sim city 2000. Sim city 4 looks just like 2000, therfore it will be like 2000 but better :)

 

Sorry, I mean 3000, that is the best sim city. I bet Archi likes it :P, it uses his type of humor.

If you don't enjoy it don't do it. Fund your money elsewhere like learning a new language; that would be a lot more useful.

World at War is actually quite fun, and Nazi Zombie mode is just plain awesome.

 

*Etienne and I are standing on the teleporter in a factory holding brownings, not knowing it requires someone to activate the other end to work*

"Teleport! TELEPORT!" *falls under a sea of hellhounds* "GOD HELP ME, TELEPORT!

________

 

*Etienne and Bernard are standing in the middle of a horde of zombies, all ammo gone but one grenade each*

*Both grab grenades and remove pins simultaneously*

Bernard: "One! Two! Three!" *lobs grenade*

Etienne: "Three! Two! One! Uh, FOUR!" *lobs grenade*

*Bernard's grenade hits a zombie in the head, causing the zombie to flinch, and then ricochets off a wall and lands at Bernard's feet*

*Etienne's grenade flies about a foot from his head before exploding simultaneously with Bernard's*

________

 

There were lots of other incidents, but it's not really funny unless you were there.

Seriously Iconic, I would advise you back off. As someone who thrives on music, you are insulting more than just Earth here.
