Games Options

Anyone here a bit of a computer/console game nerd? I fell out of playing games a few years ago, I guessed I was just kinda "over it" so speak. Of course when GTA 4 was released this year it was something I had to play but just recently I've found myself getting right back into them when I have a spare hour or so with nothing to do and its been awesome. A few I've been playing just recently are:

Fallout 3
Fable 3
Dead Space
Red Alert 3
Quantum of Solace

Anyone have any all time favorite games? Playing anything cool at the moment?

No More Heroes was a damn good game. Definitely room for improvement, but I really enjoyed it. I'm partway through my replay on the Bitter difficulty. I'm really excited that they announced a sequel (NMH: Desperate Struggle). If they can fix the minor issues the first one had, it'll be gold.

Since I'm a Wii nerd, I'll make some recommendations. Don't know if you already have any of these, though.

Definitely pick up Zelda. Though the formula is getting stale, it's still a solid game. There were a few dungeons where I got stuck for a little bit. Makes you think.

I'm also going to recommend Super Mario Galaxy and Zack & Wiki. You really can't go wrong with Mario and Galaxy is just a blast. I was so into it that I completed it 100% after just a couple weeks--121 stars each with Mario and Luigi. I did nothing but work and play that game.

Zack & Wiki didn't really seem like something that would have interested me, but I bought into IGN's hype and I'm glad I did. It's a point-and-click puzzle-solving game. It gets pretty tough and REALLY makes you use your head. It's pretty cool if you're playing with more than one person. It's a one-player game, but having more than one person there trying to solve the puzzles really makes it more fun.

The other two games I have for Wii that I haven't mentioned in either of my posts here are Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Paper Mario. Both good games, but after I finished them, I never really touched them again. I was actually never into the Smash Bros. series, but I again bought into the hype. It was fun, but didn't hold my interest after I'd unlocked most of the stuff. Super Paper Mario, I'd say it's worth a play-through if you're into platformers (it also has RPG elements), but I wouldn't pay full price for it.

And if you download WiiWare and like multiplayer games, check out Dr. Mario Online Rx and Bomberman Blast, especially the latter. I've always been a fan of Bomberman.

These are all games that kids can enjoy, too. Zack & Wiki gets extremely difficult, though, and Super Paper Mario is really text-heavy.
