That is a good idea. I played the first two and they're on what, the fifth? I'm a really big fan of the series so it'd be cool to see where it went. I haven't really heard much about the later games because nobody I know really plays them anymore. It'd probably be a decently cheap route to go as...

Yeah, video games can do a ton for improving hand eye coordination which is something we definitely should encourage in our children. It's easy to say that kids today need to go outside more but a lot of kids today don't even really have that option. In some places it's way too dangerous. A...

The thread asking if kids play video games too much made me wonder how much of a problem video game addiction is in general. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people who thinks people who play games for a few hours a day are absolutely addicted to video games. I'm talking about addiction...

I wasn't sure if Diablo was a little complex/had too many RPG elements to count as hack and slash but it was what popped in my mind. I did play tons of beat-em-up games as a kid though and always had fun. It sounds like this is a genre of games I could be interested in checking out. I'll have to...

I figured that new versions of The Show did a lot more than just roster updates. Roster updates were just the bare minimum of what I want out of a new baseball game. I did get to play it on my friend's PS4 though and I think it's the game I want. It seemed a lot more intuitive than 2k13 was so I...

I'm not really talking about games necessarily. For example, the original Gameboy had the Gameboy Camera and printer which was a lot of fun. I loved messing with it in the 90s. I skipped the GBA but I did have a DS and used the Korg MS-20 program for it. That thing was really cool because you...

I had the Tony Hawk game on Dreamcast. That game ruled so many of my days when I was in middle school. It was so fun though I wasn't that great at it. I honestly can't get over how good the soundtrack was though. That game totally turned me onto a lot of good bands. I think the soundtrack is...

I don't think they're pricing young people out as much as maximizing their profit potential over multiple demographics now. Consoles are more expensive partially because of inflation but mainly because they do way more things. You can stream movies and tv on it and even buy music to listen to...

I wonder what the deal with 2k Sports is. I've always heard their basketball and college football games were good. I know baseball is completely different in terms of game dynamics but why not at least try to capture fans of one of the major sports especially if you're the only game on the...

I definitely need updated rosters. I usually try to do a more realistic play through and then a fantasy based one and I really need the updated rosters for that first option to work out. Buying a new game every year isn't really that big of a deal. I think you definitely persuaded me to get a...

This game just seemed so epic when I was a kid. I remember going to Walmart and playing the demo for as long as I possibly could. It made me want the N64 so badly. I played it all the time after I finally convinced my parents that I needed it. I never got all the stars though. I always thought...

Yeah, having the ability to update rosters for the current season is basically a dealmaker. Reliving past seasons is fun but it's kinda pointless to buy a new game if it's not the current teams. That basically sells the PS4 to me. I still can't believe Xbox isn't going to have an MLB game...

That's a really good suggestion. I used to play Diablo and Diablo 2 a lot so unless I'm mistaken, I have a little experience with hack and slash games. A low learning curve would be great starting out because I haven't really played a lot of complicated console games. I'm definitely a casual...

Really? Wow, that seems like Microsoft is dropping the ball by not having at least something passable. I actually played 2k13 a lot because my old roommate used to have it. It's the only modern game I've played. I thought it was pretty fun but I wouldn't rave about it like I've heard people rave...

Thanks for the suggestions. I wouldn't worry about overwhelming me. I appreciate having lots of options. I actually heard Dark Souls 2 was great. I'm all about hard games since I'm looking to pass time so really easy games always seem like a waste of money to me. It's an RPG right? One of my...

Super Smash Bros Melee by far. I spent hours playing it after it came out with my friends. It might be the only game I can reasonably claim to be good at. I like how the game seemed somewhat balanced as everyone in our playgroup played different characters. I always kinda liked fighting games...

As you can probably tell from my avatar, I'm a huge baseball fan. I've been wanting to get back into modern gaming a little bit since I have a decent job now. Back in the day, I used to play RBI on the NES but I want a game from this season. One thing that would get me to buy a newer console is...

Every console I have still works. I currently have a Dreamcast, N64, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Xbox and Xbox 360. I'm tempted to get a PS1 because I keep seeing them at thrift shops and hear that their CD players actually sound really great for music. My favorite is definitely the Dreamcast. I...

I used to play video games a lot in the late 90s-mid 2000s before I got too busy with school and work. I feel like I've missed out on a lot and assume with technology improving that there must be some crazy good games out there that I'm missing. The only friends I have that play games play...
