To answer any confusion, Nintendogs is basically a Tamagochi for the Nintendo DS, where you raise a dog. MO: Welsh Corgis are the best! -------------

It's like a Tamagotchi, but infinitely more
realistic/interactive... you do the whole thing with
touchscreen/microphone, it's got a ton of depth.

Actually, it was original

care of a real dog... and I don't know *too* many businessmen
under the age of twelve. It became a huge hit, selling millions
over a month or so, so they translated it to English.------------- https://soundcloud.com/erin-susan-jennings" rel="nofollow - Bedroom guitarist". Composer, Arranger, Producer. Perfection may not exist, but I may still choose to serve Perfection. Commissions considered. |

perhaps a silly, cute dog simulator with realistic behavior.

I'm not as much as a gamer as I once was... I'm doing well if I get 4-5 hours of playtime in a week.
I'm into Nintendo's stuff, but that's cuz of my age... when I
first got into gaming, Nintendo was the only worthwhile system in
town. Years later, the Genesis hit, though it didn't appeal to
me, and while the Playstation was a great system, the PS2 has a severe
lack of good games... not that the Cube had too many either, but
handheld gaming's where it's at for me now, it's much more like the
stuff I grew up with, gameplaywise, but with better graphics.

Well yes, there's the Metal Gear Solid games, Prince Of Persia stuff, ICO, and the unforgettable Silent Hill 2.
I just muchly prefer the PS1 classics: Xenogears, Silent Hill,
Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Tactics, Lunar 1/2, Vagrant Story, THPS 1,
Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night, and the original Metal Gear Solid,

No kidding! SNES is my
favorite system of all time, which is why I'm into the GBA/DS stuff
(it's like the SNES era all over again... hardware of the GBA is
comprable to a more powerful SNES, and developers see that... DS
is like the N64's hardware, but with SNES-style development). Ah, the memories... the games you mentioned, as well as Contra III, Zelda III, Castlevania IV, Tales Of Phantasia, Mario World, Mario Kart, SUPER METROID, Secret Of Mana, hell... even Mario RPG was good. ------------- https://soundcloud.com/erin-susan-jennings" rel="nofollow - Bedroom guitarist".

I have 7 100% games in GTA San Andreas.Some of the missions were a breeze,some were a pain in the butt**coughSupplyLinescough**.I just went through a long long period where I played nothing but GTA 3,VC and SA. I didn't experience any major game glitches,but the draw distance was a pain sometimes.I think Rockstar squeezed everything they could out of the PS2. I am anxiously awaiting GTA:Liberty City Stories which comes out on the PSP soon. Just got The Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction and it is hands down the best super hero game I have played,slightly better than Spider-Man 2.One of things I love about it and SPM2 are that they are free roaming like GTA.And the city in the Hulk game is like 3 times bigger than New York city in SPM2. ------------- |

I like Xenogears and Final Fantasy VI a tad more than CT. Actually, I'm replaying CT right now (on an emulator, sue me) and I forgot how awesome it is. I would play it on my SNES (which is somewhere in the basement, dusty as anything I bet), if only it hadn't broke some time ago.  Well, to be on topic, I don't have a DS so I won't be getting Nintendogs. I did play the demo at Wal-Mart a few days ago and it surprised me, I thought it wouldn't be that great but it was impressive. I'm thinking of picking up a DS sometime soon, only I'm broke. |

games they like, even if they aren't the cool thing. The same
crowd who were playing RPGs pre-FF7, or survival horror pre-Resident

Not a huge gamer myself. I don't have a console, because it's very seldom that I find a game I actually like. I'm looking forward to Fable: The Lost Chapters coming out for PC, though. Fable was such an awesome game, and the new version is going to be longer! Oh, and I've just gotten into the Myst games. I recently beat the first one, though I rushed through it and didn't take much time to examine the scenery. I just wanted to get to Riven, which is where I am now. The visuals are quite impressive, even today! -------------

One thing that turned me off about GC was the controls I'm waiting until fall when RE4 comes out on PS2, I love my PS2, best games out of the 3 newest consoles, best controller, and compatability with PS1 games (I could never abandon FF7-9 and such). The new Zelda will be, in fact, released for the Gamecube: If any of you haven't seen screenshots of MGS4 for the PS3, do yourself a favor and find them, they're amazing, though I know I definately cannot afford a PS3 when they come out, so I am sad. ------------- "It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years.

zelda was supposed to come out before the end of this year (before the revolution would even have a chance of coming out) but it got delayed to around April. i still doubt it will go on to the revolution. i've played a lot of those "run around and kill innocent things" games like San Andreas, and i'm done with them, though it is fun watching media watchdogs get riled up over them (i'm nearly 17 and haven't killed a cop in my entire life. i'm so odd but what made me turn around was halo 2 on xbox live. some people take that game so f**king seriously you wouldn't want to know. that's why i got a cube. i just want to get back to having fun. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

The GC is great, really people who just dismiss it as a system for the younger crowd don't know what they are missing ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I haven't really dismissed the GC.I have 2 children that are gamers and me and my wife are hard core gamers,so we have 2 GC's,2 PS2's and an XBOX,in addition to 2 GBColor,2 GB Advances and 2 DS's and 1 PSP. Nintendo wore thin with me because most of their titles are geared towards children,and they are the last to do everything.They stuck with cartridge games way too long,the GC has no hard drive,no backwards compatibility,no dvd player. Their handheld units used to really get on my nerves just because of the simple fact that the screen wasn't backlit.Genesis' Gamegear had a backlit screen,but I think Nintendo intentionally doesn't put that kind of technology into their units so you have to buy the peripherals(for example,a light that shines over the screen,which SUCKED. I think the best console,with the best controller and largest catalogue is the PS2. And honestly,I am a huge Star Wars nut and only got an XBOX so I could play Knights of the Old Republic. ------------- |

KOTOR alone is reason enough to get an Xbox...and KOTOR2 was even better, IMAO.

I don't think the XBOX's controller is the worst,that honor goes to the Game Cube controller.I just prefer the PS2's controller.For me personally,the XBOX's controller is a little bigger and bulkier,and I don't like the offset dual analog joy sticks with the D pad in the middle.My hands just feel really comfortable holding the PS2 controller and the configuration of all the buttons,joy sticks,d-pad,and shoulder buttons really suits me. ------------- |

^ I just picked up an Xbox controller S the other day...I've been
trudging along with the original for a long time, and the S is smaller
and much more comfortable. The right analog stick now feels a little
bit out-of-place to me, but in a better way than the old one (if that
makes sense). Anyone ever use an X-arcade controller? Those things are monsters. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

DAmn, Any PC gameres around? HL2 & FAr Cry are damn ovverrated, imo... Both the games are quite long... but when you finish 'em, thhere's nothin to come back to... Thats why i like games that have, lets say, random map creation... or at liest an easy way to create mods, like FC ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ed_the_dead/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">
