Yep, I don't play video games anymore because I'm not willing to shell out 300 bucks for a new system. I'll just take my real car out on the road and drive if I feel like it :approve:
 
you can get a gamecube for $100

Gamecube don't have these graphics.

I've heard that the upcoming PS3 is going to cost about 600$ and it comes with a 60 GB hard disk. With that much money I guess you can almost buy a used car !

I personally love the Grand Theft Auto series from the third installment onwards . Has just the right mix of everything.

To run the graphically intense games shown above on a PC, I guess you need to buy good graphics cards as well, which can still cost a fortune .

Do they still make games for my Megadrive?

:-p

edit: my girlfriend wouldn't be too impressed if I came home with a PS3 :-p

I have been astounded at the pace of graphics development recently. I wonder if its anything to do with all those Shrek type movies. Anyway the best looking I found so far for all you FPS fans is the new Crysis game. if you google that I promise amazement will ensue.

  • #20
Super Mario 3 was the best

My niece brought a nintendo DS to my house the other day. I thought it was like, a earring holder. Then i saw gameboy like cartridges and realized i was holding onto the downfall of western civilization.
