Halo Wars is not as complicated as most RTS, but this is it's strenght. It reminds me of the simple fun that can be had with Star Craft. The single player story is OK. I spend most of my time in multiplayer, as most of the guys here that have me on their friendslist I was actually stuck on Halo Wars for months. I must warn you, multiplayer is though. You have people who don't know what to do and people who quit once their rush fails. My favorite is 3vs3. The game is very good IMO.

...you make me want to play Halo Wars, but this game is the main reason I suck at Halo 3( for the moment), since I was playing Halo Wars too much instead of playing Halo 3.

Someone loan me a 360 so I can just buy a game where I can get my 240 and go ka-t and stuff, and just leave my baby alone

I'm gonna have a game made.. Call of Booty: World of Whores

I would explain the game's idea, but I probably better nut ^I mean "not"
But they'd be hot of course.

That'd be badass..

I'm sorry but that has got to be one of the stupidest posts I've read in a while.

I have Halo Wars and played the heck out of it. I like the game, but then again I like RTS games. Halo Wars was made by Ensemble Studios the makers of the Age of Mythology series, so you know the prodcution is top notch. This is actually their last game before they closed up shop. They had a farewell message on the credits. Halo Wars is not as complicated as most RTS, but this is it's strenght. It reminds me of the simple fun that can be had with Star Craft.

I'm not a Halo fan boi so I'm absolutely horrible on Halo 3 MP, I own all 3 Halo's and actually enjoyed the MP on Halo 2, but the MP on Halo 3 just doesn't do it for me. Besides the people who play the multiplayer in Halo 3 are even bigger jerk offs than what you come across on COD 4 and COD WAW.

To be honest I'd get C&C for the 360 but I just never got the hang of the originals and as much fun as I would probably have I'd probably get reeeeallly pissed off about 1/4 of the way through and put it away forever, kinda like what I've done with several of my games, Kane and Lynch and Army of Two to name a couple (though I did beat them on their hardest difficulty).

I have however put End War on my xmas list, I played the demo before it dropped and why I wasn't entirely impressed (or was even able to figure out what to do) I did enjoy playing it. The main feature about End War that I would really like to utilize is the voice commands for your units, but I'd look like a complete retard to anyone who happened to walk by my room to go to the bathroom.

I've also put BF:BC on my my list of games I want, I'm hearing rave reviews all over the net even to this day, especially in all the chatter about OFP:DR, some people are saying that the gameplay of the 2 will be similar and others are saying that BF:BC's MP will turn out to be better, I just want to get them both and make a comparison of my.

For you PC gamers out there can I get your opinions of ARMA 2? I played the demo and my opinion was that it's a buggy game and they should have finished testing it before they released it, which also happens to be the feeling I'm getting from anyone who has done a review or played it.

The voice commands are some of the best I have had experience with (and I've messed with a fair amount of voice software, including the amazingly horrible early incarnations of IBM ViaVoice). The system still isn't perfect, though. It uses a rigid syntax structure that expect orders to be given in a specific format. If you try and circumvent that format, it'll get confused. But it's a very logical format and feels natural, so that's not a big issue. The main problem I had with it was getting it to recognize the supposedly supported shorthand commands, like selecting "all units." Fortunately, the controller interface is simple but still effective, and it can be used to fill in where the voice commands fall short without being awkward. The game uses a sort of "dashboard" unit/group selection system And you can input most commands with just the d-pad and face buttons.
You feel a bit silly shouting voice commands for about the first 30 seconds, but after that it's just fun. And if you still feel silly that makes it all the more fun.

One of the other cool aspects about EndWar is that you don't have a full omniscient view. Your view is attached to a unit. You can cycle your view from unit to unit and you can even use special command units that give you special abilities, but you can never leave the view range of your units. It gives the game a very up-close and personal feel and sort of enhances the battlefield commander feel. You're not just some disconnected guy tossing out orders...you're THERE in the thick of it.

As for C&C, C&C3's interface for the 360 was actually fairly decent, and Kane's Wrath's interface is fantastic (a complete redesign and entirely different from the C&C3 interface). Even though neither comes close to the speed and ease of use of a keyboard and mouse for that kind of gameplay, the games are still very very playable on the console...which is saying a lot.

There's a demo for C&C3 on the marketplace you should check out. Sadly, there's no Kane's Wrath demo for you to sample the even better controls.
If you're going to get one, I strongly suggest Kane's Wrath, as it's the superior game of the two even without the improved control scheme (though C&C3 is still great).
But if you have a PC that was built within the last 5 or 6 years I'd recommend the PC version instead, as the games are just so much slicker to play with a keyboard and mouse.

I can't get the damned Arma2 demo to install properly. I have the version on the PC Gamer demo disc and the smegging thing keeps crashing on me.

I downloaded it and was able to install it just fine on my laptop which is running Vista Home premium x64 Bit, my problem with the demo was that though my laptop isn't by any means a powerhouse it still is running a x64 Bit OS with an Intel Dual core processor and even at the lowest possibly visual settings it was still impossible to play, the amount of lag was disgusting, it was like I was trying to run it on a computer running windows millenium with a Pentium 3 and a 128MB video card. After 5 minutes I gave up and haven't tried it again, I'll try again at some point and if it still doesn't work right I'm deleting it.

im playing on extreme, but still I just cant keep the zombies away... great game

I used the Steam portal. it's a 2.6GB file and that's before you unzip it. installed it's like 5 or 7 GB file.

Just got that preordered, i was gonna start a thread but after seeing how the Marvel get bought by Disney thread went i realize there probably arent too many Marvel fans on NICO.

Nonetheless, if you are looking for a decent beatemup with some RPG elements that has 4 player coop(local and live) and lots of fanboys look no further than

the mvc2 hyper game was just a test to see how people would respond.
and to pursuade capcom there's an appetitte for it.

the licensing is still in the air.

MvC3 isnt something i see coming any time soon.
Unless they completely reinvent it like they did with SFiV then i think its gonna be vaporware forever.

But it would be awesome to have a new MvC game.
Molly Hayes FTW

But for now ill have to live with what Vicarious Visions and Raven can put together.
Raven is supposedly making a Deadpool game.

MVC2 is the best and most talked about marvel game ever.
I havent played most of the newer titles, but I know they dont compare.

capcom is also a juggernaut.

Most talked about YES, best NO.
Xmen Legends I and II were better.
Also the Punisher game was just straight up badass.

But I can garauntee you, that people wont be playing it 10 years from now...
MvC2 is in every major fighting game tournament world wide. and its made a handful of professional players famous.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 was to fighting games what Quake 3 was to first person shooters: A gem for the ages

best marvel game without question.

The running joke with a couple of friends of mine is to call it DNF.

Duke Nukem Whenever is what it goes by around here.

bad news is that this bundle is only available in PAL

Need for Speed Shift and Dirt 2 looks really good. I also read that Critereon is working on a remake of the first Need For Speed. Anybody else owned a 3DO?

I couldnt play them on Xbox, but I played them on PC...

Man I always wanted a Neo Geo but it just never happened, I never even got to play one at someone else's house or at a store.

That's probably because when they were out they were pretty much the most expensive gaming system out running between $300-$500 and back in the early to mid 90's no one wanted to drop that kind of loot on a gaming system except the rich and the hardest of hard core gamers. I only saw them in a small handful of EB games. I believe you had to order them direct from Japan through magazine ads.
