Magnus

Speaking of gigantic mistakes, I played Red Faction 2 a couple of years ago.

That would just be too sad.

Someone had to take the pictures. I guess this is what passes for a date these days.

That has to be Casey Jones, so Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus for 6?

5 is EverQuest.

Did she buy potatoes specifically to throw them at cats, or...?

9 is Neverwinter Nights 2.

You're well on your way to becoming a crazy cat lady.

That's a lot of pressure. You'd best work really hard at being a good homosexual!

Fair enough about the aiming, but in real life you don't look straight at where you're aiming your gun all the time, giving you a chance to put it down occasionally.

I haven't played Halo Wars, so I'm not sure how well the controls worked in that. I'm really not convinced that you'd get the precision you'd want with a pointer, though. Also, there doesn't seem to be much of a market for RTS games on consoles, but I guess that's a different matter. WHY ARE YOU SINGING WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN. Also, games aren't books and I have looked at screenshots/videos and have read reviews. Maybe I should have said it looked really generic and unoriginal instead.

Fair enough, but I don't think the pointer would work nearly as well as a mouse. Not to mention the lack of buttons. I think the pointer could really work for games like Pikmin, but in the case of games like StarCraft, you'd end up with a really watered-down experience on the Wii.

Yes. Thank you. Scores after this round: Magnus: 13 Jonnas: 7 RedShell: 6 Cube: 5 / nando /: 5 Dog-amoto: 4 Deathborn: 3 Hero-of-Time: 1 mcj metroid: 1 Patch: 1 Ronnie: 1 Olly: 1

To be fair, you don't see a lot of RTS games on consoles, period. Also, I haven't played it, but The Conduit looks really, really bad. Certainly not a series I'd want as my headlining FPS if I were Nintendo, anyway.

It's a DS game about nine people who are trapped on a sinking ship. Someone please guess it so I can stop feeling guilty about holding up the game.

I think what you mean is that you're the reason being gay is cool.

Don't jinx them!

I was going to wish you a happy birthday in a fake Italian accent, but that seemed vaguely racist, so I won't do that. Happy birthday.

Eh, you weren't going to get laid anyway. Plus I'm pretty sure it's the thought that counts.

Bioshock's biggest problem was that it wasn't System Shock 3, but I doubt that would have changed the opinions of the people who didn't like it.

Writing like this is the reason the writers at IGN get paid the big bucks. Fake edit: The costume looks fine, I guess.

It's the first game, but the character is in both games (Magnus Armstrong, hence why I said he had an awesome name), so close enough. That just leaves the last game, which clearly no one here has played. To sum up: 016: *Puts on German hat* Nein, you will get no hints for this screenshot. 016: Nein. Nein. Get it? 016: I'm really disappointed that no one's been able to get this one, but seeing as how this game - which was recently translated and released in the US - is unlikely to ever be released in PAL territories, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Also, it's a visual novel and the girl in the screenshot is one of the main characters.

I don't need one special day to show my hand that I love it. It already knows because I tell it every day.

A Valentine's Day thread on a gaming forum being depressing? Who would have thought!

I really enjoyed Mirror's Edge. It wasn't perfect, but I would have loved to have seen a sequel that fixed the first game's flaws. Though it's not really surprising that there won't be a one, considering how badly the first game sold. DICE is going to be stuck making Battlefield games forever now.
