I'm sure you'll find a group. It's generally a good time for a mixer.

Not knowing the game, but judging by the convo and pic I'm guessing fps. I'm not really an fps player, I mean I beta tested a couple back in the day, but I'd rather watch. I'm only good at sniping and just don't have the coordination for a moving kill.

Now having my kids cheer (like cheerleaders, hand motions and the works) while I took out monsters in the Necrol of Nabudis in FFXII on Sunday, that was a very awesome gaming experience!

its not exactly a fps. its more of a first person puzzle game. if that makes sense. precise aiming is not entirely essential to succeed.

Ah. . . I like puzzles, no sound at work though.

I am not kidding when I say I have a stack of videogames that I haven't had time to play that never seems to get smaller. . .

my gaming computer is also almost 6 years old - saddness.

there will be a rainy sunday someday when you will be alone with nothing to do. video games have a way of finding themselves played if you give them enough time.

Sort of...but sort of not. It's on a FPS engine, but it's really more a first-person puzzle platformer. For the most part your enemy is the environment. Your sole "weapon" creates portals on the walls, blue and yellow. Walk through the blue portal, and you come out the yellow one.

LMR has seen my stack of games, and I'm the kind of gamer that has to do every bleeding thing in the game before I call it done (hense why I don't finish most of them). I'm about halfway through FFXII - about 250 hours in.

I have tons! Want a recommendation? I think my next wii game will be Lego Batman, I got it for my birthday. Still haven't finished either of the Lego Star Wars, they are Orc's, but we have them on the PS2 not the wii.

I know!!!! That teaser was excellent!

I haven't been playing much on the PC. . . I have Spore, but my graphics card is maxed out with it (sad huh?). Maybe LMR has a suggestion.

Last game I played was Crysis. That maxed my graphics card too. But the graphics was excellent. I'm always nervous since my Dell box warms up to around 70-80C when I start taxing the graphics. Ouch. Need to figure out a way to keep it cool.

Like the others pointed out it's more platforming and puzzles than FPS, although there are a few moments where having some run-and-gun skills help out. I actually bought the Orange Box collection (PS3) just to get Portal. Still haven't gotten around to playing any of the other games on the disc yet, but Portal was a blast from start to finish.

The other great thing about it is that it isn't a terribly long game that requires hundreds of hours to finish.

Unfortunately, I don't have a PS3 (we thought about getting one, but haven't). I'm not sure my computer will meet the graphics requirement, and it's an AGP card so upgrading is difficult.

I love love love half life. In all its incarnations. Sure, it's a FPS, but it's a gorgeous one. When I upgraded my graphics card to a (now outdated) NVidia 7900GS, the high-dynamic lighting just blew me away. IT's like really being there.

Can't wait until Half Life Episode 3 when they'll release the new Portal game.
