I may pick up the first one. I think it's around $4 at gamestop.

UT? its old enough, i could probably email it to you :)

Thanks, but I'm going to get it on PS2. My computer just crashed again, and I lost everything. I can't even open zip or rar files anymore. :(

Question:

I know there are several games in this series, but looking them up has me confused. A lot of them are labeled different. Here is what I know exist:

Unreal Tournament
Unreal Championship
Unreal Championship 2
Unreal Tournament III
Unreal II: The Awakening

Edit:

I found these:

Unreal
Unreal Tournament 2003
Unreal Tournament 2004

Am I still missing any?

What I find strange, is there is Unreal Tournament, then Unreal Tournament III. Was there ever, actually a second one?

Not counting an expansion pack or two which may have been released this is the order of the series...

Technically it should be UT 4 though... weird naming system.

Unreal (1998)
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament 2003
Unreal Championship
Unreal II: The Awakening
Unreal Tournament 2004
Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict
Unreal Tournament 3

So basically, somewhere along the line, the company making these, messed up the names? lol

Yeah they just like to confuse people I guess. Not the first time this has happened... the worst is the Rambo movies though. Rambo comes AFTER Rambo and Rambo III while there's no sign of Rambo II.


First Blood
Rambo: First Blood Part II
Rambo III
Rambo

No. It should actually be unreal tournament 2003 and 2004

That's weird. Why not just call it Unreal Tournament II?

I have:

Unreal Championship
Unreal Tournament III
Unreal II: The Awakening

Would it be worth it to check into the other ones?

Rock Band: Track Pack Vol. 1 on Wii.
20 more songs to play for the "already" $170.00 dollar game. :rolleyes:
You can't download songs for the Wii version, so they're putting them on disc's instead....for $30.00.
I had to get it for....
Queens of the Stone Age - "Little Sister"
Smashing Pumpkins - "Siva"
NIN - "March of the Pigs"

I find it funny how people go crazy over the Rock Band/Guitar Hero franchises, yet no one really thought that much of Amplitude or Frequency. I thought those were a little cooler, because you change the whole song.

I hear ya, Vamp....I just want to make my own set lists with Cd's...so I could play TOOL or The Misfits...like you can with a modded PS2.
I like RB because I've been a drummer for 23 years, and I had to try the drums....needless to say, I was playing drums on the hard level the first day....and I now play on expert.

Lots of cool music games that have been overlooked out there including the amazing Rez but when you get down to it Rockband is an AWESOME party game. I had five people over the other night playing Rockband and three of them weren't gamers in the least but had a BLAST with Rockband.

Lets see....work gave me a ps2 game (some ATV title #4), a PSP equivalent but-slightly-different version of the same, the ps3 singstar, PSP echochrome, and the one of the bunch I actually WANT to play - Secret Agent Clank

Still playing The Orange Box...Though I'm starting to get bored with it, so I'm taking a break.

I plugged Dead Or Alive 4 in and got a bunch more of the unlockables.

Then I played Dead Rising....And remembered that it's annoying because when you have to leave to go somewhere, you can't turn the game off.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots.

Just got passed level 5 on Condemned. I missed one bird somewhere. But I don't feel like replaying that level just for one bird. :mad:

Half-Life: Source
Homeworld
Return To Castle Wolfenstein


Kicking it old school :)

The boyfriend started playing Turok for the Xbox360 last night. It's a beautiful game, but pretty mindless. Controls also seem a bit sketchy.

I'm pretty disinterested.

The game sucks.


NEXT!!!

ha

See, I'm being the good girlfriend by keeping him company and sitting beside him while he plays his little video game.

I can't wait for Condemned: Criminal Origins to come in.

i've stockpiled a bunch of good 360 games - but i cant for the life of me get interested in playing them ... i dont know if it's because it's summer or what - but i just cant sit in front of the xbox for 10 seconds.... other than the occasional tune on rock band - but even that bores me now.

i have no business being in this thread for a while ..


i miss Halo :(

I forget - Have you picked up Bioshock yet? I definitely recommend it. Kept me absolutely riveted.

And, honestly, Condemned 2: Bloodshot was pretty damn good, too.

I hear ya.

I've also got the newest of the newest in PS3 games and non of them, except for Metal Gear solid which i finished 2 weeks ago, speaks to me. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but first time i die or lose i turn of the console... Man, maybe i'm just not 16 anymore.. :(

Now i'm just here, doing what i do best. Poking people. hehe. :)

Is Condemned: Criminal Origins the first or the second?

i picked up Bioshock a while ago ... a friend at work has been raving about it - and from what he said i need a bit of time to invest in it.

here's the thing - Halo was perfect for me ..
it had frequent saving points - the story was linear - just run and shoot ... no thinking required ... I really liked the music and the visuals - and the vehicles ..

but most importantly ... the saving .. if i died i only lost a couple of minutes and i was back again.


these other games seem like too much time and effort is required - thats really not what i'm looking for .. i just want to run around - find cool stuff - not have to figure crap out - because i really dont want to invest any effort at all into any game.

i probably will check out Bioshock at some point ... maybe this winter .. hopefully i can stay interested for more than 5 minutes because none of these other games have grabbed me :

Assasins Creed
Fear
Quake IV
Prey
Gears of War
Clive Barker's Jericho
Dead Rising

a few others i cant remember ...

I get bored after 10 - 15 minutes.

If fear bored you, then it may not be for you. Bioshock is cerebral even if you are playing just run and gun.

see thats something i like when watching a movie or playing a book ...
i'm just not into it when playing a game ..

dunno why ..

or maybe i do ..


playing a game has always been my last choice for things to do ...
(i'm not putting down anyone who likes games - they just arent my thing)
so when i'm in that frame of mind .. i guess i just want to run around - see cool art (landscapes) and shoot crap .. i'm not interested in working at anything ..

If i was - i'd be doing something else ..

i guess that's the deal

Criminal Origins is the first.

I'll take some of those off your hands. :D


Better than The Darkness?

If you're looking to sell games this may be a good place to do it... ;)

I'd buy some.

This isn't a bad place for it.

Yes, actually. I thought that the UI was significantly smoother and I thought that it was a little more complex than The Darkness. I thought that The Darkness controls were a little sketchy (especially when using the "creeping dark" - this element should have been better executed) at times while Condemned was pretty smooth (with the exception of the CSI element; I thought that that could have been done a little better). I was more interested in the Ethan character in Condemned than Jackie Estacado in The Darkness. I thought that Ethan was a bit more complex than Jackie and that there was more to the plot of Condemned than with The Darkness. I also really liked the investigative element to Condemned, which added another level to the game. It made the game seem less linear and streamlined than The Darkness. Also, I thought that the side quests for The Darkness were silly.

Don't get me wrong - Your recommendation of The Darkness was a great one. It was definitely enjoyable, clever, and different. I could just run and eat people's hearts out over and over again... I just thought that Condemned had a lot more going on (plus, the Big Bads were a little more varied and creepy; if The Darkness had more scenes in WWII, I think I would have enjoyed it more... I also really enjoyed the investigative element to Condemned). HOWEVER, from what I've heard, there are some plans for a second Darkness game. I will most definitely pick it up (I hope that it will clean up the sketchy UI in the first one).

As for Condemned, I'm honestly psyched to get and play the first one. And, well, it seems obvious that the second one is opening to a third one, which I'll pick up right away whenever they release it.

How about you? Which one do you like better?

I thought the darkness was better than condemned 2, but that doesnt mean Condemned 2 wasnt freakin awesome. its like playing out a movie, the graphics are flawless, and the characters move so smoothly, the level with the rabid bear practically made me shit my pants, and the level on the boat when you get chased by the giant robot thing was awesome

however it was too short.

I really can't say at the moment. I only have the first Condemned, and I'm not quite finished with it. I played a short demo of the second one, and I thought that the graphics were incredible.

I think the fact that the first one moves rather slow, and that you can't always have your guard up, is one of the downfalls for me playing it. I'm one of those people that when I play, I am constantly spinning in a circle with whatever weapon I can use, always drawn. I don't know if the second one cleans that up any or not. But being on the cell phone with maniacs running around you, that just doesn't fly with me.

Condemned is a great game, don't get me wrong. I think I'm just geared more towards the action, mafia and faster walking in The Darkness. And the WWI segment just blew me away. It was atmospheric, creepy and very disturbing. I still think about that horse. And the more open-ended gameplay of it, really set it apart for me. I like my freedom in games. I don't like to have to be confined to do one thing. One reason I like the Elder Scrolls series. Yes, some of the side missions were a bit dumb, but it gives you something to do for added gameplay.

I really can't see myself playing through the first Condemned, more than once. The Darkness, I'd play again and again. Maybe Condemned is just too slow for me or something. I mean, the atmosphere is awesome. But when you move like a dog with a bad leg, it gets annoying.

both games are equally great and have things in thme that set them apart from the other but the on thing they have in common that makes me not want to play them is the multiplayer.Both games online play is pure garbage and because of that simple little fact both games lose alot of points for it.

Ahh. I don't really bother with the multi-player, but that's a good point if multi-player is what you're after.

Playing some more old school Mechwarrior 3. Tearing up other mechs with my souped up Supernova (I call it the blue Giant.. get it, stars... nevermind... Im too geeky for geeks...)

I have learned to aim for the legs and not let up until one of them blows off. center mass is for losers in this game.
