any of you dudes that have a Wii, give me your console numbers so we can be Wii friends.

i'm picking up Tiger Woods 07 today, that shtein looks fun.

I've been debating on Tiger Woods 07 or SSX Blur for a few days. Although, between Trauma Center and Madden, both of those are keeping my interest.

[phattymatty]

i haven't played Trauma center.  it's fun?  but yeah i'm still loving madden.

[Beermonkey]

you're right, packing that thing up will be next to impossible.

yeah, that would be a problem.  not to mention I don't have a TV to plug it into...

I have a very nice Sony Trinitron you can have at a bargain.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just came out yesterday on xbox live for the 360!  Its the nintendo version from '89

i beat Rainbow Six Vegas, it was an awesome game.  i think i'm going to try out Ghost Recon 2 next.

i also bought MLB 2K7 which is pretty cool.

I like it. It's a puzzle game more than anything. I skip past the stories at this point. It really helps getting the coordination down from both hands of the controls.

It's pretty fast paced and sometimes infuriating, but addicting. To me anyway.

played  ps3, resistance fall of man , just 2 player head to head. pretty awesome. much easier to get used to being a ps2 player. nice graphics, crazy sound effects. also played the off road racing game for ps3, can't remember the name. pretty cool, challenging. can't wait to see when they start making games that can really take advantage of the ps3/

Let me know how you like GWAR 2, first one was good but difficult. Might pick up Rainbow 6 if I can find it at a decent price.
I replayed GOW on Hardcore and beat it. Its just as easy and short but the end boss is a little harder.

I'll throw this out there to anyone who has a thought about it:

Suddenly, my PS2 stopped being able to connect online.  No idea why.  So, I deleted the online configuration, and tried to do a new one.  For some reason, the "auto detect" options are no longer working (it used to).  When I input the IP and DNS information manually, I'm able to successfully complete the online test on the config screen, but when I try to use Madden online, I get hung up at the DNAS screen, and finally get a -603 network error.

I called Sony and EA, and they were useless.  Told me to open ports, blah, blah, blah (which I never had to do before); trying that also didn't work.  Same result.  -603 error.

I even reset my router (linksys) to the default settings to scope it out, and no dice.

Anyone here have any ideas?

you can download all the old school nintendo games on the wii and tecmo bowl just came out this week.  $5.  i don't know if it uses the motion sensors though, it's probably just a regular remote.

Resistance is really fun online. Glitchers are starting to get out of control though.

what@! oh im buying a wii now

[Feva]

so how is it Feva?

In-farging-credible.

I picked up GOW 2 last night & played it until 1:00 & am very, very happy.

In the the first 30 or so minutes of the game, you're fighting a 200 ft tall statue, banging 2 large-breasted girls in a bath & getting a glimpse of what I thought was shaved hoo hoo during a cut scene.

If it wasn't for my job getting in the way, I'd have beaten this thing by now.  I told Mrs. Feva when I bought the game, I was gonna be useless around the house for a while and dammit, I'm living up to my word.

The game just keeps getting better and better.  I just had a battle with "kid" Icarus (which was tight as hell)... and have plummeted underneath the Earth which happens to be resting on Atlas' shoulders.

Incredible game.

I've played it until 1:00 am the last 2 nights & I feel like I'm a frigging high school kid. I'm more of a child than my 9 & 11 year olds.

I got to the part where you have to fight the "Horse Keeper" last night. I was literally like a retard staring at a ferris wheel when you beat him & get to smash his head repeatedly between two doors.
