maybe its time to stop playing games, maybe do somthing a little more productive and meaningful.. in life.

AdolfBinBush6359d ago

kk, try to put this meaningful Creativity in somthing more constructive like a degree or a cure or a book or an enhancement rather than waste hours in playing.

Graphics Whore6359d ago

Everyone has a different way of expressing whatever it is they do. A degree? Institutionalism? Let me put it this way, you've probably learned 50x more from learning to use the internet as a tool than you have from established government institutions both privatized and public.

Anyway, most people treat this as a hobby, you have to shut your brain off sometimes.

Close_Second6359d ago

There is nothing clever about being good at a game. Games are for fun and should only provide a distraction from living for a short while. They should not become your life.

It's like being good at playing sports in your backyard - maybe fun and the neighborhood kids might look up to you but in the greater scheme of things it means nothing.

Graphics Whore6359d ago

The diversity in dedication is broad, some people take things more seriously, In hindsight some one takes this seriously either because they're getting paid for it or it relieves stress. Clearly game studio's make this their lives and depend on people to help them make it that way.

Besides there's nothing else more creative than participating in some one else's imagination.

Everyone is good at something and if they have a problem then that's their problem.

Stoked? Is that a 360 exclusive I see? Nah, can't be cause the 360 has no games in 2009.

Skate 2 is a given.

iNcRiMiNaTi6359d ago (Edited 6359d ago )

but are there people who really want it? tbh i havent even heard of it until i clicked the link. and yea skate 2 is a definite must buy. i already have the 360 games i want for the first 3 months this year

Jan - skate 2
Feb - splinter cell conviction (if release date is true)
Mar - RE5

Graphics Whore6359d ago

I can't stand sports games, why play a simulation of it when you can literally go outside and do it yourself, I just don't understand people.

However skate has flawless execution, I myself a skateboarder for 2-3 years skate feels very fluid.

InMyOpinion6359d ago

If it turns out to be good I think it will have a chance of selling pretty decent.

Most of the games I want this year are multiplat, like Brütal Legend, Fight Night round 4, UFC: Unleashed, Deus Ex 3, Street Fighter IV, Prototype, Skate 2 etc.

Splinter Cell will probably be awesome as usual. I'm also looking forward to Alan Wake(if it gets released), Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Fallout 3 & GTA IV DLC, APB(?), Forza 3(?) and Dead Island.

I'm sure there will be a couple of surprises as well.

Graphics Whore6359d ago

Splinter Cell? I have my doubts since they went back to the drawing board, maybe MGS4 scared their pants off.

You're seriously not advertising GTA4 DLC? That's true fanboyism right there.

jahcure6359d ago

Of course most of the games you are looking forward to are Multiplat..you only own a 360. That kinda limits things going into 2009. I own both and a PC and i will be buying most for the PS3 (because of trophies mainly) and anything that's on PC/360, i'll be getting on the PC because the graphics are better through MY eyes.

I don't have any 360 exclusives on my list YET. I'll have some later when they announce them...if they do..but as of now, PS3 and PC are pretty much enough.

Eiffel6359d ago

Its worth playing for all those people who wasted money on Shaun Whites Snowboarder.

Stoked at least looks appealing.

InMyOpinion6359d ago

I like GTA IV and I think the biker gang twist looks cool. Splinter Cell hasn't disappointed yet so I don't see why the next game should be any different. That MGS4 comment is just silly.

Maybe you should check yourself before you start calling other people fanboys.

@jahcure - Good for you. Personally I don't enjoy playing games on PC as much as on consoles. Not the same feeling imo.

InMyOpinion6359d ago

Let's hope it's better than Shaun White's. There hasn't been one good snowboard game this gen so it would be nice if Stoked was above average. Skate 2 looks to be the safe choice though.

kewlkat0076359d ago

I'm so backed up though with games..I'm hoping I get through 2 RPG's this month.

jahcure6359d ago

The next new AAAA title for the beginning of 2009? I haven't heard about this game but hey, maybe we can hype it to hell now since all we see are PS3 exclusives on board for this year.

Stoked..10/10 best game this gen!

IzKyD13316359d ago

Like OMG!
I cannot wait for Paws & Claws Pet Resort!

The_Firestarter6359d ago

I'm definitely getting Skate 2.

The 7 Best Skateboarding Games

Since the mid-90s, skateboarding games have remained a popular past time. But which are the best skateboarding games?

MasterChief36241041d ago

There is no way in hell they put the cover of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 as the thumbnail for "best skateboarding games." Good Lord.

ChiefofLoliPolice1041d ago

Not the game that needs to be the thumbnail.

ChiefofLoliPolice1041d ago

Oh dear God the OG TH games are amazing. THUG 1 2 and THAW were badass. It's hard to pick. The EA Skate games were amazing too especially Skate 3.

Never got the chance to play Session or Skate XL but I want to try.

As far as classics...the THUG games and Pro 4 were my favs. I still play those games on my OG Xbox to this day!

Abear211041d ago

Smh still no Skate on PlayStation 4 or 5. All these new budget skateboarding games are glitched trash. The new Skate will be good, but nothing will give me that crazy feeling like OG skate demo, that was a revelation

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia1422d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

InklingGirl1421d ago

Same, great group of titles.

Mobis-New-Nest1422d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo1421d ago (Edited 1421d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up21421d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.

Game awards skate gameplay? I’d be hyped. All I’ve asked for over the years from EA is a skate sequel and a dead space 1 remaster. If they nail these games me and EA are cool. Clean slate, no hate. Do they make really dumb moves all too often? Yes. But It’s not like they are activision blizzard.

Michiel19891660d ago

throw in battle for middle-earth 1-2 remastered with multiplayer servers running and im game

sourOG1659d ago

For those games you would clean the slate with EA you mean?

I said I’d never forgive them for what they did to visceral and black box but the visceral guys are making a “dead space” sequel anyway and they are free from EA. And a skate is being made. If they ruin dead space 1 I will never forgive them lmao. If they bang these out with fire? Even Steven.

Michiel19891659d ago

there is no cleaning the slate with EA anymore (in the short term), but bfme 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, I just want to play them online again with a decently sized playerbase. Ive been hoping for a remaster for these games for years now, but WB has the lotr license now, so there is basically no chance of it happening.

Profchaos1660d ago

On the same day they announced backwards compatibility ouch

Servbot411660d ago

Leave it to EA to be completely tone deaf morons.

AnotherGamer1660d ago

Wow wut, but they announced backward compatibility just today.

Amplitude1660d ago (Edited 1660d ago )

lol what a hilarious day to announce this

Props to them for keeping them up as long as they did though
