Red Dead Redemption--I also mentioned in my last entry that this could be my first game for the PS3 and it was indeed. I have only played this for a few minutes (lots of stuff going on)...I arrived in town, took a horse ride to an abandoned fort where my bad brother had taken it over...and then my cat brushed against my system, pulling the cord out of the wall. Bad cat! But I enjoyed what I saw and I plan to get back to this game very soon.

The next two games were Christmas presents from my nephew Derek...

So the system will serve two purposes, as both a game playing machine and an upgrade in my movie-watching system. I ordered a PS3 on Wednesday and it could arrive either late this week or, probaboy more likely, early next week. I forget how it's coming.

Of course, this brings up the question of what will be my early game purchases for this system. I may not actually buy any PS3 games until after Christmas. I told my family I ordered this so they could get me either PS3 games or Bllu-ray movies for it for Christmas. If they don't get it for me, I imagine my first game for it could be Red Dead Redemption...]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2010 13:56:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7658-surprisingly-a-new-system/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7610-feel-like-a-million/ Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? This is yet another in the subset I have going of DS games based on TV game shows. I also have Family Feud, The Price Is Right, 1 Vs. 100, and two editions of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? I guess I should get Jeopardy! next. The Millionaire game arrived yesterday but I couldn't play it until this morning because my unit needed recharging.

I deduced that Meredith Veira (the host of the show since it began airing as a daily half-hour edition) was not involved with the game since they did not use her likeness on the case. Instead, they have some guy doing the talking. The game plays like the daily version before this season...three lifelines including Phone A Friend, Ask The Audience and Double Dip.

Batman Forever: The Arcade Game (PS1)
Batman: Gotham City Racer (PS1)
Aquaman (XBox)

I have heard that Aquaman is one of the worst games ever...as bad as Superman 64? Never having played Superman 64, I guess I'll never know. I was thinking the other day that there was a Lobo game and I'd need to get that if I'm to have every DC Comics video game that was made for my systems but it looks like it never came out for the SNES though it did apparently make it out for the Genesis (which I don't have).]]> Tue, 02 Nov 2010 05:18:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7605-mondays-arrivals/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7598-catwoman-first-thoughts/

Catwoman is a game for the Nintendo GameCube system...it probably also came out for the PS2 and original Xbox which were the other consoles it was sharing shelves with at that time. I had some time to kill this evening so I put it in for about a half-hour and fooled around with it for a bit. One thing I found out is it's virtually impossible to get killed in this game. There was gunfire all around me and it knocked me back here and there but my character never fell down and died. Even a fall from a fair height didn't faze her...but then, that's true of regular cats, too. Camera angles can be a problem in this game but there's a control you can use to swing the camera around so it usually isn't that big of a problem.

The first part of the game isn't so tough. You are placed in the middle of a heist and you have 2 or 3 other thieves to dispose of which you can do easily. My problem came with the next segment (broken up by an origin sequence). Here...]]> Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:10:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7598-catwoman-first-thoughts/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7593-and-now-the-real-gaming-begins/ Batman & Robin for the original Playstation. This is the first game I've gotten for the original Playstation in quite awhile. I have no idea what the last one was. I actually have 3 more coming, though...all Batman games. Of course, the only unfortunate thing about getting this game finally is now I have to actually play it. ]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 21:36:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7593-and-now-the-real-gaming-begins/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7590-and-then-it-was-five/

Catwoman for the GameCube

I have heard this is a pretty bad game but I've also been trying recently to complete my collection of all the games featuring DC Comics characters for systems I own. That means I even have to get (shudder!) Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis! So now I have this game. I think about all I have to get to complete this mini-collection now is that Aquaman game and the Batman games for the original Playstation...and they are coming.]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:40:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7586-fourth-day-in-a-row-ive-received-a-game/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7583-todays-games/
1. Superman: The Man of Steel
2. Madden NFL 2009
3. Major League Baseball 2K7

I believe the MLB 2K7 was the last baseball game for the Xbox and I think Madden 2009 was the very last game for the system period.

Added note: I have now double-checked and only one of the games, the Superman one, was new. The two sports games came used but they seem fine...and include the manuals and everything so I'm happy with them.]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 18:52:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7583-todays-games/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7579-todays-game-arrival/
Superman: Shadow of Apokolips for the PS2

I usually try to be careful when I buy a used game through Amazon...most sellers will tell you if you get everything. Once in awhile, I forget...or the description is lacking any information of what you get or don't get. This is a used game but the disc looks to be in very good shape and the case is in great shape except for one small sticker on the back. Unfortunately, the one thing missing is the instruction manual which was not included. It's not a big deal unless it has complicated controls. I'll find that out when I get around to playing this, I guess.

I also got a DVD today...the eighth season of the TV sitcom Scrubs.]]> Tue, 26 Oct 2010 17:25:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/191/entry-7579-todays-game-arrival/
