Video Games Too Addicting??

[Pigskin]

I've got one more character to beat in Hot Shots Golf & I play one game each night to try to beat him. My son has Halo on the Xbox & we stayed up until 4 in the morning playing it.

First, you will not be disappointed with Splinter Cell. Freaking awesome!!!!

Spiderman- never played it.

Ghost Recon- To quote... "Squad-based tactical combat with next-generation military action in stunning 3D environments. Mission-driven storyline with 15 different singleplayer maps (as big as 400m x 400m), and 6 dedicated multiplayer maps. Up to 36 people can play online multiplayer games via internet (TCP/IP) or LAN. Specialist characters that can join your team who add much needed firepower with their own, distinctive weapons. Easy to use on-the-fly mission planning interface gives the player total, flexible control over their squads. Simulates the latest military hardware including the OICW combat systems and the Land Warrior command and control system."

Just make sure if you play it on PC you have a system that can handle it. I personally enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Desert Storm- never played it

SOCOM- Never played it

Soldier of Fortune- It's ok but there are much better games. I found it to be average. Don't spend 50 bucks on it, wait for it to hit the bargain rack.

Silent Scope- only played it at the arcade

Spiderman- Its an OK game, theres a code to play as the green goblin wich is much more interesting than playing as spiderman.

Ghost recon- I kinda liked it. I could never see what my men were aiming at appaerntly they can see much farther than the game lets you.

Desert Storm- Very awsome squad based military game. I think its better than ghost recon, but ghost recon is more realistic(one shot kills on you're guys). I had alot of fun with this game.

These are all the games I have for the Xbox
Desert Storm
Halo
Sega GT 2000
Hunter
Baldurs Gate dark alliance
Deathrow
Morrowind

SWAT 3 is a game I still play a lot. There are always new MODs to download such as new maps and guns.

Desert Storm for PS2 was ok. I do not like using only the analog control, it makes the movement in this game difficult.

Medal of Honor is one of the best out there I think. The expansion pack(Spearhead) was good only wish it had more levels.
I recently picked up the Robotech: Battlecry which is a neat game since I grew up watching the show.

Heh, as if you cops didn't think us firemen were lazy enough as it is. After house chores/training/working out, we still have a lot of time in the day. 6 of the 11 guys on my crew hang out in the "study room" aka "hide from the officers room" and play ps2 4 player games.

As for the PC, I cant stop playing Ultima Online, a massivly multiplayer internet game with no end goal or point, just to go out and do stuff, meet people, build a house, etc. My wife hates that game

Splinter Cell is a great game but unfourtantly I will be unable to afford it when it comes out. Maybe some other day.

Spiderman-- Good graphics, good gameplay really short game, it's a game to rent not buy you should be able to beat it in under 10 hours.

Medal Of Honor--read above except playing on the difficulty levels can make it a challenge.

Solcom---A fair game, I wasen't too impressed until I played it online that is definently where all the fun is.

I have really played the other games. Age of Empires and Age of Mythology are always great time consuming PC games.

Anyone play Madden online if ya do let me know your screenname?

I'm 2/3 through Command & Conquer Generals.I think everybody on this forum should get it as you get to play as terrorist *** kickers in Bagdad. There are 3 teams, USA, China, GLA (terrorists), both US and China are anti-GLA. Its great real time strategy although slightly bad taste, but who cares? Its only a game, isn't it.....

[CinaC]

Half-Life: Counter-Strike is where it's at.

If anyone here plays it, swing by [EGBT] (Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow). But be warned: we play **aggressive**, objective-based (not death match) rounds.

If anyone else on the board plays, my in-game name is Shooter1922{X}. I play bridge mostly and a few rounds of MP every once in a while. And you can find me on HomeLan servers.

Well, not quite free, it cost the tax payer about 20 million bucks (and they're making a second game, FMV role play, it'll stink).

I like the various Half Life mods, myself... Day of Defeat, Counter-Strike, Natural Selection... nothing beats co-op multi-player games!
