Game Question.

Post by Kurt_ »

I only want to get one new game.

I will be running it on an AMD 3200+ (2GHz) with 1 gig of 400 Mhz RAM, and a $50 Geforce 6200 graphics card.

Or my Wii.

I'm stuck between the Orange Box, HellGate London, or a Wii game (with good replay value).

What would you do?

With that PC...i don't know...Orange Box would have to be run on low to medium settings.

If you don't mind the occasional lag and turned downed graphics I'd go with Orange Box.

Otherwise, go with a Wii Game (Super Smash Bros. Brawl! :P)

I second Brawl completely. :P But if you don't want to wait, get Medal of Honor 2: Heroes for Wii, definitely. It's so great, the campaign's fun, it's got a great light gun game version, and best of all, perfect 32 player online for ultimate replayability. To put the icing on the cake, the FPS controls are even better than Prime 3's; if you don't think that's possible, think again. Long story short, it's great. Campaign's entertaining, light gunning it up is fun, and multiplayer, be it online or with friends, is just awesome. Go try it out! :D

Galaxy is a complete blast too, even if it is only single player. If not, wait till Brawl or Mario Kart Wii. :P

I'm sick of Mario games, to be honest. They're just all the same.

I enjoy games with plots.

Another Wii game is tempting though.

And of COURSE I'm going to get Brawl.

Ummm.... Guitar Hero 3? lots and lots of replay value there.

Though if you don`t wanna drop $90

Medal of honor heros 2, for a Wii fps its fantastic, but only thing I found appaling was the animations, no matter what you get killed by (even a rocket) you fall on your knees then to the ground, its like they ported the animations of EVERYTHING in the game from the PSP version, and it was a neat Idea but looks retarted online is you tilt the nunchuk to look around corners while aiming, but your natural hand position is tilted to the right, so if someone online is running at you then aims, 80% of the time they have their hand in this position and the top of their body will lean drastically to his right making the game and him look retarted. But if you can get by all that its a great game.

Guitar Hero 3 looks tempting, but I heard the controllers really suck.

Accually the Guitars don't suck, people just don't know how to take care of them, or are really rough on them.

The guitar hero 3 controllers are like 10 times better than the 360 Xplorer (God that thing felt flimsy, not to mention I have seen like 3 different whammy bars for the 360 xplorer break, but my PS2 one that I have been abusing since I got it in July still works like the day I got it) but the new guitars feel pretty solid, and the guitar neck problems can be easily fixed.

I found it somewhat ironic that the alternative to turning down graphics settings was getting the wii game, is that not like turning down the graphics in itself?

anyways, I bet theres at least 50 good PC games that will run on that machine. Just because its two years old dosent mean you arent going to have fun beating it :P. even if you have to turn the graphics down.

the best part is that PC games are free.
