It's funny, I recently played a 6-player X-Men game with a bunch of friends. It was awesome. I don't believe anyone can beat that game without having at least $5 in quarters with them.

Ah! The old dual monitor X-Men 6 player cab. Any old Konami brawler is pretty much the same way as far as difficulty goes. But they're so damned fun, you just don't care. I regularly blow $4-5 bucks every time I see a Simpsons or Turtles in Time cabinet (which isn't often anymore).

My favourite 4-player arcade beat-em-up is still Dungeons & Dragons: The Tower of Doom. Getting that Dragon Slayer title next to your name in the High-Score screen once you finally kill the Red Dragon is too awesome.

I miss the old X-Men Arcade game. Just using Colossus's special attack always got a chuckle out of me and my buddies.

Hell yeah man. Capcom made the best arcade games ever.



I also always loved Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Deka. Looks like complete ass now, but it's still fun for a buck or two when I see one.

Ah, we played that game, too! Now that is an amazing game.

Just played Moonwalker the arcade version, and beat it! I haven't played a game that stylish and fun in a long while. It was dazzling and badass. And what happened to Michael Jackson at the end of the game totally took me by surprise.

Sorry, I had to chuckle at that obvious plug.

Been alternating on playing Altered Beast, Stryder and Super Smash TV on the Genesis after finding them at a thrift store for like 2 bucks each.
I've made it to the Last level in Stryder and to some wierd dragon thing in Altered beast. Smash TV just straight up kicks my ass. I make it to the Mutoid Man and it's all over. But Smash TV is so fun to play with another person, even if you get your collective ass kicked.

I'm still working on unlocking the characters, but it has already been a lot of fun so far. I'm glad to see that it still looks, sounds, and plays like a Street Fighter game despite how long it has been since the last one. Definitely a great game all around.

I forgot to mention I got Noby Noby Boy as well. Nice relaxing little 'game' and supercheap too. From the guy that created the Katamari series so you know it's going to be weird.

Just got a complete Street Combat for Super NES. It's a pretty bad versus fighter, but I have fond memories of it from years past.

Halo Warssssss

[Brodie]

Halo Wars. Anyone else been playing this? I'm really enjoying it, but I don't usually play RTS titles

I've actually been playing a bit of Halo 3 at my cousin's place lately. It's alright I guess. It's not all the hype that people are making it. But then I guess that's because I haven't tried it online with a bunch of people, as I'm sure it can get really crazy then.

But one shooter game I also tried recently that actually was alot of fun was Gears of War. The movement system is really slick. The buddy-revival thing is cool. One nice added co-op feature. And the game looked and felt pretty realistic. There was a couple of times I got spooked.
It's also the "manliest" game I've played. It's literally packed with testosterone. lol

Oh! I also finally got to play Street Fighter IV! I'll take it over to the other thread.

*sigh*

Non-gamers talking about games always makes me cringe and/or cry.

I love you! Finally, somebody in here who will take Gears over Halo. I admit, I missed the boat on the Halo trilogy, but the learning curve is so bloody steep compared to Gears. Every time I've ever tried to get into a Halo match, I wind up getting sniped about twice a minute. When it gets to the point that I'm getting sniped by spawn campers, I just throw down the controller and quit.

Gears on the other hand I was once a pro at with the chainsaw. Ninja-sawing people's ass and abusing the bullet lag were so awesome. Pretty much was the only thing I played online (nonstop) throughout 2007, but all my friends bailed when GOW2 came out because the physics were different and you couldn't abuse the shotgun.

This whole post shows how f*cking delusional you are. Gears is absolutely impossible to get into after the fact. IMPOSSIBLE. And why? Because if you don't play it for a week, you'll come back to an absolute disaster area of people abusing the 1,000 different glitches that are present in the online play. If you haven't been paying strict attention to every exploit these lifeless virgins abuse, you have no chance of even getting a kill. I can not play Halo for a year, come back and still get kills. Just because you suck complete f*cking sh*t at FPS's doesn't mean the game has a steep learning curve.

And I doubt she was talking about online play for either game. And really, comparing them is not only difficult to do, only a complete idiot would do it.

F*ck I hate you people.

Nerd fight! Nerrrrrd fight!

Peanut is right, I'm not a huge gamer. So what I say won't hold much weight here, I'm sure of that. But from my experience, Gears of War was alot more fun than Halo. And correct, I didn't play either online.
