I've heard that's a good game, but that's not my style of gaming really, plus I don't like fantasy based games as in mythical creatures and dragons and such

Re: need help (game buying)

Here's a suggestion: Get Rayman 3 for, well any platform. I got it on gamecube for 5 bucks, but it was worth so much more then that.

Um, Street Fighter isn't anything like a fantasy game with dragons and such. Unless you are talking him going to mention some Final Fantasy game or something.

Re: need help (game buying)

Im not sure what to recommend ^^'

If you like cleaning, then I recommend Chibi Robo(gamecube) .

Tales of Symphonia (gamecube)/Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World(Wii) is a pretty good game if you want a adventure type game with pretty good anime graphics.

(Im not sure if the PS3 can play PS2 games..But if it can, then id recommend Kingdom Hearts since it's a pretty well-done game)

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) is also a pretty good game if you're a nintendo fan. ^^'

^^' I hope this helped a little? And sorry that this is so long DX

If you are going to get a tales of symphonia game I recommend the first one, I own both of them and the first one was a pretty sweet action adventure type game but the sequel for wii made me feel its audience was more for girls.

Re: need help (game buying)

If you want a really good DS game, get Metroid Prime Hunters. It's an FPS, and it's better than a lot of FPS' on XBox 360 and PS3.

Re: need help (game buying)

DONT GET A TALES GAME
SERIOUSLY
DONT DO IT
some of my friends have them and they are obsessed but it bores me so much i almost fall asleep while playing
if i were you i would wait for november and get a 360 cuz its the best platform out there
and then get left 4 dead 2
OR
if you have something against xbox 360 you could wait and get COD Modern Warfare 2 for the ps3 when it comes out in november, honestly it looks awesome
OR
you could get prototype for the ps3, honestly i prefer it to infamous because i can run up walls, i was all surprised when in infamous i couldnt, i was relaly * actually, plus i heard about prototype online befoer infamous, im pretty sure they came up with it first  smile   also infamous was so intimidated by prototype that they changed their release date to earlier cuz they were scared of getting out-sold  smile

How could I forget No More Heroes.
Also, if you have played No More Heroes and think it's awesome, then join me in the hype for No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.
Because it will be awesome.

Fallout 3 is pretty fun. So much to do in that game.

Oblivion is way better though.

Re: need help (game buying)

Try half life 2. Maybe half life first, just to know the facts. I have HL2 for xbox and pc, and it's a really good game. The graphics are awesome, and the gameplay is good. You should try it out! You can get it at www.steampowered.com I got it for xbox at a used game place for 5 bucks, but the graphics aren't as good as it is on the computer.

Re: need help (game buying)

wait 'til September 15. That's the day Scribblenauts comes out. In it you solve puzzles by typing in any word you want and it appears on the screen to be used.http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=RTEUbtgpIgo
Check out this video to see an example!
