Seeing as you're all console freaks thought I'd make you a thread.

Me? I'm a PC whore waiting patiently for Wolfenstein mmm wolf. Used to be a big fan of ISS and ISS Evo on PS1

Anyone who doesnt like COD4 will be banned. It is simply unacceptable behaviour.

I hate the entire cod series. RTCW was always superior and always will be. Just got to pray that Wolfenstein takes it on a notch.

I have an Xbox 360 and a US, NTSC region Wii.

I've had the 360 for 2 years and haven't bought a new game in that time. I got it with Lego Star Wars, PGR3, Viva Pinata and PES6. As you can guess, it's mainly for my kids - I don't think I've played it for over 6 months, apart from helping my younger lad get his way through menus and things...

I think it came with GoW 1, which I played for about half an hour before selling. My problem is that I played far, far too much of the original Doom and Wolfenstein in the early 1990s and it's burned me out from FPS games like that. Also, the controls are too complicated for my elderly brain to deal with.

We only got the Wii for Christmas so the novelty value hasn't worn off yet - playing Mario Kart, Wii Sports Tennis, Mario & Sonic olympics, and occasionally some PES8 and Super Mario Galaxy.

So, strictly speaking not a COD4 fan, sorry. er no

I traded it in a while ago  :thumbup:

Not that I didn't like it tbf, I'm just shit at FPSs so the online was pretty redundant for me and the single player wasn't worth keeping the game for IMO.

I dont get how anyone can play an fps on a console anyway, a mouse and keyboard are just perfect for me (I may or may not have played an fps game at a high level...gone to the US to play...)

Oh I'm with you Danny (well, about the quality of the game, haven't played online). I had just said in the 365 thread that for all the other games I have I can't stop playing Fight Night. I accidentally retired my first boxer so I had to start again from scratch, which was fantastic.

Firstly, alot of you are getting banned  lolbut...

A mouse and keyboard is better than a joypad but using the Wii controls are definitely the best method of control I've used. The wiimote for aiming and nunchuku thing for moving = poundit

It was the main reason I completed Res Evil 4 on the wii all the way thru and did all the extra levels and stuff

Never liked the Halo games but I hear this is similar to the C&C games.

Would that be correct?

I was waiting ages for this to come out and then I never bothered getting it as it came out with that glut of games around Christmas. I take it you'd recommend it?
I still have GoW2, Bioshock and now The Orange Box to get through. I've seen Dead Space for €30, Mass Effect for around the same and I'm seriously tempted by Fallout 3.

And now here comes Street Fghter  scouser with all the games

She's gonna get it for me for Valentines Day  bunny

I imagine she's said that cos it gives her an extra week to get me summat but that means I can spend my money on the SFIV controller  poundit

Everyone getting the special edition version? What with the two figurines, anime movie and no doubt pointless strategy guide?

Saw it in gamestation if you pre-order, not sure bout anywhere else though.

I dunno what it is about SF4, I think it's the funny looking graphics - they look really 'bubbley' if you know what I mean? Just doesn't look very next-gen, although I suppose it'll all be about how it plays.

Do you not think the graphics look a little rough round the edges though? I wouldn't want it looking Tekken-esque, but the graphics just don't look very sharp.
