I really wish I had a Kinect for the dance games, I would lose SO MUCH weight if I had one of those bad boys - I love dancing!

That's a good point. Do any of you have Dance Central for Xbox/Kinect, also have XBL, and want to play together sometime? I always want to try it with a friend via XBL, but none of the guys I game with play Dance Central... lol

I've also been thinking about picking up Zumba fitness for the ps3. Has anyone here tried that?

Sadly no xbox or kinect here.

My husband is a huge gamer, but I'm a pretty good one too. My absolute favorite game is Chrono Cross. Silent Hill 2 is a close second. And Dragon Quest VIII is just insanely fun, so it's a game I play when I want to just have fun. I mostly just play RPGs and Survival Horrors, but I also love playing the Left For Dead and Mortal Kombat games with the hubs. :D Oh, the dancing games are pretty fun too, but I'm awful at the DDR games, so I just stick with Just Dance and Dance Central. The Michael Jackson game is awesome too, though.

I've always preferred TimeSplitters to Halo ;) That's my FPS of choice.

Best decision you could have made. Once I put that game in my Xbox, it was game over. (See what I did there?). Its a great game, amazing storyline and really fun unlockables.

My summer school grades, however, didn't agree with how awesome it was.

Riestrella: Plants V Zombies is SO addictive. Survival Endless gets so intense too. I've gotten through 63 waves and that's when those stupid Zombonies come plowing threw... ugh!

I also really like the Borderlands, any Final Fantasy type game (I'm a 7 fan girl... but Balthier on XII Was SMOKING), Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Dragon Quest, Disgaea, Fable, Mass Effect, Mario =3, Old school games like freaking Echo the Dolphin, SO many... Tecken, Soul Caliber, DDR!!!, Just Dance for the Wii, Xenosage, Torchlight, Diablo II, SIMS!!!, Kingdom Hearts (it was fun...>.>).
I use to play more often. College takes up time now and I've become far more social. I use to stay home, read, write in my journal, play games all day.
These days I go out, hang out, go to coffee houses to enjoy the public with my dog (outside of course) and I'll read or write there on occasions. I go to parks, camping, biking, a LOT of work, and I hate to say it... but Netflix has taken part of my life with wonderful shows like Dexter, Castle, Firefly, ... Buffy the Vampire Slayer..., etc...

Canadian Netflix is about as entertaining as watching paint dry. So jealous of the selection in the USA!! :( My Xbox bros have all these fantastic shows to watch and I'm stuck with crappy C-List movies and sequels that no one has ever heard about. Hahaha

kurisitaru 06-26-2011 04:32 PM

There are a lot of C-list movies and sequels (like the Titanic 2?) that no one has heard of on ours as well. BUT there are some really great things I find on there. I do mail in as well, so it's not all streaming. All my mail is bills...vote for this douche, and ads, Netfilx is something I actually LIKE to find in my mail.
Too bad they don't add video games to their selections...

sarcasticpanda 06-26-2011 04:36 PM

Up here in Canadaville we can only get streaming :( Gamefly has the same mail service as Netflix, by the way! :).

kurisitaru 06-26-2011 04:44 PM

I know about gamefly, I just can't afford yet another subscription, especially when I don't game as often. Just the occasional game thrown in would have been nice.
I'd love to live in Canada though... or Australia...

sarcasticpanda 06-26-2011 05:15 PM

And Canada is an awesome place to live! I just wish our Netflix didnt suck! Hahaha :):)

I'm 'gamer lite' :) I don't have a lot of time to game anymore...and while I've had old systems and many old computer games (LOVE Phantasmagoria from the late 90's! still my favorite game ever) I JUST bought my xbox in February. My friends taught me to play Halo.... basically I was cannon fodder but as my introduction to FPS, any kill is a kill. Unless it's your team mate. My friends love to get together and talk smack and shoot each other :)

Over the past 2 years I've been a Guitar Hero addict and that and HALO are the reasons i bought my xbox. I recently downloaded Magic The Gathering (the old one, not the Planeswalkers 2012) and am totally geeking out on that. I play MTG offline too but when I can't, at least I can get my MTG fix on my xbox.

I've played a little COD... shot some Zombies. That was hella fun. I plan to pick up some FPS games to play at home after work in the evenings so the next time my friends have a gaming night, I can kick some arse!

SpangleMagnet 06-26-2011 07:15 PM

gothik- Yay, another MtG player! :D

I always wanted to create an Edea costume for Mardi Gras. :)




Wow, that is a list of my all-time hit parade of games right there. I still replay Baldur's Gate and BG2 every once in a while. Another game that I still return to again and again is Elder Scrolls: Morrowind. Sure, Oblivion was good, but it just didn't have the hypnotic, haunting quality that Morrowind does. (And I'll bet that any of you who ever played that game now have the incredibly awesome music running through your heads at the mere mention of the title. In case you're now craving it, ya go. Best. Game. Music. Ever! :D)

The eventual release of Skyrim is making me light-headed with delight. Ditto Diablo 3 and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Going to go listen to the Morrowind music a bit more and think about rummaging around in Dwemer ruins. Man, I loved that game's atmosphere. <3

Oh Skyrim looks fantastic and I will be buying it as soon as it comes out. I just need to remind myself to finish a game before I start the next new one. I think I'm afraid to finish them because then they are over and I get a little said. I get that way about books too.
