Console Gaming Flying At The Moment?

[ekundo]

Just bought myself a second hand Gamecube and donkey konga, first console i'v bought since the original playstation and worth every penny.

you wouldnt believe the fun with 4 sets of bongo's can bring, and if you havnt seen the game, find someone with it asap.

but I think what Vaul means is that the wealth of quality games being thrown at us it pretty high ad therefore maybe better, on the whole, than PC's

Exactly, I was thinkig just how long the whole Half Life II build-up and hype was going on, and the quailty of the game when it arrived; in that time, how many brilliant games were released on the various consoles?

Whats about to come out or has just come out on the PC? Resident Evil 4, GTA:SA, Metal Gear Solid 3, Halo 2, all these and many more have been released in the not too distant past on the various consoles.

They are throwing out quailty games all the time, and they are rarely as over-hyped as Half Life II, rarely as dissapointing as Doom III.

Right, now to read Rouge Sabers post.

EDIT - Ah, House of the Dead II, I remember it well.

PC game I'm waiting for is World of Warcraft. I like RPGs and..er..a bit of RTS and FPS I guess, but then the last RTS I got was Warcraft 3 and the last FPS was Quake 3 (last year, for a tenner, because I was into Unreal Tournament not Q3 when it was released!).

Console? Got a UK and US PS2. Suikoden 4, soon, please. Ordered. Mmmmm. Also Growlanser Generations. Okay, but not up to Final Fantasy Tactics. Neither was Disgaea. IMO.

Dreamcast is sitting downstairs...better fire it up and play Shenmue. Never did get too far in it!

I really enjoyed Shenmue, but 2 has lots of slow down on the DC so I will probably invest in the Xbox version as well some time. Its going for £8 second hand at the moment.

I enjoy both PC and Console gaming, some genres are just better suited to one or the other. I've partially gotten off the 'next big thing' merry-go-round and I now play games that only interesting and enjoyable for me rather than some how 'worthy' or 'hardcore'. PC gaming does seem to have gotten back into its FPS/RTS rut again, hopefully mmorpgs and a few good titles for other genres will help.

I miss Segas masterpieces like Shenmue, I had it on the Xbox but didnt get anywhere near the end in it.

Ekundo - Donkey Konga is one of the best examples of Innovation from Nintendo for a while.... I had much fun on this and would have loved to play it "party style" with 4 Bongos... Pitty i dont have enough friends lol...
