I really don't know. I do know we have gone through many of them, my dog likes to chew them up.

Nice. I'll ask my brother. I know some of the fancier ones are expensive. I'm just tired or getting kicked out of games for not having a mic. :x


And the Call of Duty thing reminds me of the episode of Office where one of the branches plays Call of Duty as a team training thing, and Jim had no idea how to play, so he was killing his own team. :lol:

I love read about adult people who play console games! it means have a great time in my opinion.
I advise you to try also the ps2; my favourite game's Project Zero, called Fatal Frame in the usa.
If you'll do, I hope you'll enjoy it!(:

I play video games, mostly computer. I've played WOW and most other MMO's. I play Lord of the Rings online currently. Video game addiction is something that will have to be addressed by society with these types of games. I have a personal rule of not committing myself and only playing casually. Sometimes at night I'll play for a couple hours, but never into the night. I've played Call of Duty and Halo, and many Wii games. Suzanne, pick up Rune Factory, a Harvest Moon style game. It's one of my favorites. I enjoyed it more than the new Zelda. If you substitute video games in place of television, it's very good for the brain and takes up the same amount of hobby time.

PS2's a good system. It has RE4, but I think that's for the Wii now. It does have the Sly Cooper games, which I love.

good games for beginners, though you may not have heard of them:


Looks: Rediculous.
Is : Completely awesome.


Pikmin, for the Wii.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZTa-WdR ... re=related
control a horde of cute, but blood-thirsty pickmin as you ravage the country side in search of space-ship parts.
Tiny, cute, ferocious bugs be ware!
check about 7 minutes in, where the bloodshed begins!

Katamari Damacy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0pvSlRx ... re=related

Even weirder.
Roll around a katamari ball, which picks up things smaller than it, like a snow-man ball, and it grows bigger and bigger until you can roll up whole buildings, and beyond. Skip through the video a couple times, see the madness.


Legend of Zelda Twighlight princess (or any of them. They are all excellent.)

If you are successfully navigating resident evil games, though:

Dead rising
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd6dLVSl ... re=related

Soul Reaver 1 and 2, also Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Some of the coolest story telling in video gaming.

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

I went through a year where I played a lot, surprising it was because I was between jobs (go figure), now I am pretty busy going after some work things and am back to playing very little again, goes in and out with me.
