The need to make the game longer. Has anyone played the prince Caspian one. Is that any better?

If you're talking about the Prince Caspian DS game, I don't think it's much better. The actions are so repetitive that it can get really boring, and the graphics don't compliment the movie at all. Once you beat it, you're done. I didn't want to beat it again; it was so repetitive.

Do you know if Part 3 of the Half-Life 2 expansion comes out any time soon?

This may sound like a stupid question but isn't Half-Life 2 an FPS? I love FPS especially the Battlefield series.

If any of you like FPS and also want an amazing play-for-free game then you should tryout Battlesfield heroes. It is a third-person-shooter but that didn't make any difference to me. Being an exclusive PC game it is not much good to any console lovers but to PC geeks like myself it is ridiculously fun. The feel of the game is more casual than other shooters so it rocks for the casual gamer well. You don't have to pore your heart an sole into the game to have fun and enjoy yourself. It is definitely a fun game and further more is the most fun free-to-play game I've ever played. You can check it out here.

Why yes it is an FPS (that's "First Person Shooter" to those of you not in the know ). I have Battlefield 1942 and have enjoyed it a great deal in the past. I love the Wake Island map best of all, and the Battle of the Bulge map isn't half bad either. That Iwo Jima one was a beast, wasn't it?

There's precious little news is out there about HL2: Episode 3. This is the only news item I've been able to find regarding it. Apparently they're going to put a deaf character into the game who uses sign language. But since Gordon Freeman never speaks (mute?) I kind of find that ironic. No news yet on when it will be released.

Yes Iwo Jima was a beast! The airfield was it's crucial point. Whoever had the airfield basically controlled the battlefield.

Battle of the Bulge was a beast if you were fighting on the American side. If you were fighting on the German side it was easier.

And now, the most popular map in Battlefield franchise history: Wake Island. It really is an awesome map, so much so that they re-made it for Battlefield 2 and again for Battlefield 1943. That's how good it is.

By the way, if your into FPS and like the good old days of single player then you should check out the 10th Anniversary Edition of Medal of Honor. It includes all the Medal of Honors in one whole package. The old original was rather hilarious as far as graphics go but shooting pixelly enemy's turned out to be a riot anyway.

Oh Wake Island (the game, not the historical) was a blast. BF1942 was a real pain to run on my older PC and it was sluggish at best, but I used to like to make it as difficult as possible just to see how long I could hold out. Due to the graphics burden on my old PC I could only play solo but I didn't care. I used to just climb into the shore battery and blast away at landing craft and the destroyer patrolling just off the coast. And this was one of the games that made me fall in love with the M1 Garand. I also have quite a soft spot for the BAR, despite its 20 round capacity. What a machine!

I have Medal of Honor: Allied Assault on CD somewhere. That was a very fun game, although a bit dated by today's graphical standards. For my money it didn't get better than the Omaha Beach portion of the game. I've never, in all my PC gaming life, flinched and ducked so much from a computer game. Every time those MG42's would light up on my position I'd hide behind a barricade afraid to peek out. I mean I was literally flinching.

I think the original Call of Duty was a bit better than MoH:AA (the two were bitter rivals at the time as I recall) with a much better storyline and definitely more unique missions. The one that stands out in my memory was when you and a group of US GI's comandeer a French civilian car and ride around the countryside trying to make it to the rallypoint with the passengers (including the player) hanging out the windows Chicago gangland style and blasting away at Nazi positions. It's like Hitler meets Al Capone, and Capone packs a big punch.

As far as pixelicious WW2 shooters I was playing the original Wolfenstein 3D on my PC waaaaay back in 1991 and loving it. It was a blast back in the day but the game is almost painful to look at now. The newer Return to Castle Wolfenstein they released back in the late 90's was a really, really fun game and thoroughly underrated in my opinion. I loved that archaic night vision rifle that the Brits give you about halfway through the game. And the mixture of WW2 action, horror, and the supernatural blended together quite well. Have you played this newer Castle Wolfenstein that they released recently? If so is it any good? I saw it at Wal-Mart and almost bought it but didn't want to slap down my hard earned moola for a game that may not be up to snuff.

You were flinching eh? I wasn't that bad, once I realized I actually had a bit of time to go from cover to cover before the enemy started firing at me I was fine.

So you have played the original Call of Duty? I haven't had that pleasure but I would like to try it one day just for kicks.

I have not played the latest Wolfenstein but I read an article on it and they gave it about an 8/10 so it is probably not bad. What the reviewer did say is that it would take about 48hrs to beat or something like that. I'm not sure though so don't take my word for it. He also said that there was allot of mindless shooting involved (i.e. target practice). However he said that the way the enemy's died were very satisfactory and entertaining (i.e. shooting of arms and legs ect.). If I were you, I would buy it when its the 20 dollar special at Wal-Mart but not before.

Since we are on the subject of older games, have you tried Nerf Arena Blast? That is an awesome game! It came out 1999 and was the precursor to the Unreal series. You should really check it out because not only does it have decent graphics and game play but there is something cool about pointing Nerf guns at people.

That's a good score. I'll definitely be checking it out, although it'll be some time before I do. I definitely need a computer upgrade as my crate has difficulty running top of the line stuff anymore. I loaded up Bioshock and thought my PC would have a coronary, so I ended up having to drop everything to mid-range quality.

I'm not familiar with that title. I've of course seen Unreal Tournament here and there but never picked it up. Most of the games I own are typically combative in nature, even the RPG's. I have a few of those, several RTS's, and a slew of FPS games. If you have a slightly older machine might I recommend a couple of titles you can probably get for pretty cheap now?

First off give Far Cry a look. This is an excellent game filled with incredible theme and atmosphere. The tropical Micronesian islands seem almost life like and there's multiple ways to finish the game. The draw distance is amazing and you can view islands miles away and pick out targets. In this way scouting ahead is made a whole lot easier.

Also check out F.E.A.R.. If you're of a gentle disposition this game will scare the socks off of you (I don't play this one at night, that's for certain ). Far Cry will take roughly a week to finish if you hammer away at it and FEAR slightly lesser, but they're both excellent games.

Nerf Arena Blast is a FPS as are the Unreal Tournaments. If you have never played them then you don't know what you are missing. They are awesome. In both the Unreal series and its precursor the bots that shoot at you are not idiots. In fact there are some levels of difficulty that you can set the bots to on Unreal '04 that are almost impossible to beat. You haven't gotten a well rounded FPS experience if you haven't tried Unreal.

My computer or should I say my parents computer is not a bad machine. I can run Battlefield 2 no problem and I have have all the HoH loaded onto it as well so not half bad. It has a Nividia GeForce 8600 in it so I can still squeak by on most top of the line games. Thanks for the recommendations though. I will definitely consider checking those out one day.

Edit: I would like to point out that the 8/10 rating for the new Wolfenstein is the best I have seen. There are a few ratings that give it a 7/10. Just so you know.

Speaking of oooold, the P.O.W. video game and Super Mario Bros 3 (NES) are what I remember from when I was 5 or 6. There was also this pc game, I wish could remember the name, but it was a very simple ping pong game I used to play all the time, the opponent was always saying "good shot!" after every point lol.

How about Mike Tyson's Punch-out? Does anyone remember that one? Perhaps you remember the old PC game Stunts? Both of those games were hilarious.

Battlefield 1942 is awesome. I should play it sometime soon, haven't played it since before we moved. I hate the Battle of the Bulge map, I never win on it. I can't remember which map is my favorite, but I know I had one.

Call of Duty- I have played either Call of Duty or Call of Duty 2 on the PC, not sure which one. And a little bit of CoD 2 online for my brother (during his Snickers-and-milk breaks). I have played CoD: Big Red One and CoD 3 on the PS2. Big Red One is the best of the Call of Duty games, IMHO.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is one of my big brother's favorite PC games. I have played it some, but I'm not very good at it. I like Spearhead, because I can play it all the way through.

My favorite video games are Rainbow Six 3(in CO-OP), Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and Medal of Honor: Frontline (all on the PS2). I'm better on the PS2 than the PC.

My brother is hoping to get an XBox 360 soon, then we can play Rainbow Six Vegas and the Call of Duty games. And maybe, just maybe, Battlefield Bad Company! Maybe after Thanksgiving. *is very hopeful*

I remember Mike Tyson's Punch Out (currently known as Punch Out featuring Mr Dream). I actually have it for the Wii VC (Virtual Console). I was a master at Super Mario 3 (NES). I even remember when that came out for the first time (I also recall when SM2 came out as well). Talk about Old School.

I am currently playing Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. I got stuck on one star and I finally got it, so now I am playing it through on the 2nd Quest.

Got to run to class.

I have played many super mario games but if thats for the super nintendo i probalay haven't played it. I love yoshi. You say it like yo she and i say it yoosh e. Probalay just accents.

Watz, I remember playing Nerf Arena Blaster on my friend's computer back in the day. I loved it. It was clean fun but really intense. I saw it for sale 5 or so years ago (for $5) and didn't pick it up at the time. I'm bummed now because it's impossible to find (or you have to pay big money for a second-hand copy).

Assassin's Creed 2: Bloodlines looks great but considering my current computer can't even run the first in the series, there's nothing do but cry. Wah! But seriously. My computer can only run Bioshock on medium system requirements.
Otherwise, new games don't interest me all that much. I want to see a return to innovative ideas, great game-play and story, instead of just great graphics/physics.
