What summer games would you recommend?

[clh3785]

So its summer, i have a job, but i also have more free time than usual and id love to play some new summer games or some older ones i never got the chance to play.

what would you guys recommend for me to rent or buy if its worth it.

right now im playing bully for the 360 which is pretty fun, but the new maddens coming out soon along with a few others. what are you guys looking forward too though?

I didn't complete bully - It was a bit too pedestrian and repetetive. Other than that, Rockstar did a decent job.

No idea for summer games though, and I don't really know what's due to be released soon. Summer is hardly a good time for games though, with no Xmas and the good weather, not much decent stuff gets released.

[clh3785]

well a lot of games get released but majority are crap. but usually you get a few gems (along with the maddens and ncaas and such)

i am on the 3rd chapter of bully. im not sure if i will complete it im already getting kind of bored with it but idk. I also think rockstar did a good job on it considering its gta but for teens.

[clh3785]

scratch that, 4th chapter of bully.

since you have a 360 id suggest Dead Rising, very fun zombie game.

[clh3785]

hahah it was very fun, but i played and beat. and man i love your avatar. is that zombie flash? like marvel zombies but dc i guess. im a huge zombie and comic nerd so when i saw those it made my life.

im kind of excited for mortal kombat vs dc comics (although i hate superman. i like batman and the flash and others)

[Dazzla]

Well, I am still stuck with a PS2, haven't moved up yet. However, even though I have beaten these two games over and over I keep coming back to them...God of War & God of War 2. I never really get tired of those two. What I am really looking forward too is the Mortal Kombat vs. DC (heard announcement that the Joker is going to be included) that will be coming out later this year. Only thing, don't have a PS3, which sucks.

Playing games in the summer is harder for me, with the kids home and their friends always over so they control the game systems (Dreamcast, Gamecube, N64, Atari, PS1(2) & PS2(2), Gameboy Color, PSP, Gameboy Advance SP(2) DS) all day. Not all of those are hooked up at the same time and one is only truly mine and that is the Dreamcast. Now, from my son's point of view (he is 6) a good game to play is the new Indiana Jones Lego's game.
What I need is a Summer Garage Sale!

[clh3785]

dude i truely recommend once you upgrade to upgrade to 360.
that too is getting motral kombat vs dc. but theres so many more quality games than ps3
and i used to be a sony fanboy b ut the 360 really changed things.

My wife wants a Wii, my 6 year old wants an XBox 360, my oldest wants a PS3, and I want a PS3 (mainly because it plays Blue-Ray DVDs). Now, out of that who do think will win out? I know the answer: My wife. It is a fact in this family, by the cheapest one first, then buy another system the next year. Also, my wife is a fitness freak. Thank you, Wii Fit!!

[clh3785]

but see, the wii is really not as great as it seems.
why not spend 100 bucks more (if that) and get an xbox 360.
a wii cant play dvds, cant play music.
and its game selection really isnt that great (even for kids, the 360 has more variety)

and i know ps3 has a blue ray player but there is rumor of the 360 supporting it or soemthing of the sort. i would recommend just getting a 360 anda ps3 the next(if you want the blueray) because the wii really isnt worth it,
the only times i played it was when my 360 broke.
and since then its been collecting dust. and my 7 and 4 year old cousins had it and played their gamecube more, and my exgirlfriend played it but not nearly as much as she played my 360. and my 14 year old cousin doesnt play it nearly as much either.

it seems lke a great inovative system, but with a lack of variety of games, no dvd support, sometimes annoying controls, it really gets boring and will collect more dust than your atari in the long run.

i just think it was one of the worse investments ive made, besides the psp (which that too is a great idea, but a lack of games really was its downfall)

[clh3785]

but for summer games so far ive played
guitar hero aersomith and the incredible hulk.
i havent been playing too much games lately though due to work and seeing old friends.
