currently got quite a few games going

for PS3
COD Modern warfare 1 and 2. the second one was a little disappointing. it was short and easy to beat. only took me 2 hours on legendary.
i'm completely hooked on the need for speed games. had all of them since the original. right now i'm fooling with undercover
Borderlands-weird game
Gran Tourismo 5
and a few others

for XBOX360
assassins creed 1 and 2
Halo odst
Forza 2
and both Gears of War games
and a mishmosh of games i don't play but my sister enjoys.

I've been kicking some dust with Dirt.  The physics are pretty good.  Reminds me of GT as you can set the camber, caster, gearing, downforce and everything in between.  Although I still can't beat the 'World Record'.  I've got within 2 seconds.  The tracks are cool though.  I really like teh Japanese tracks as they are tight.  If you have your car setup right you can skate around the 3's and 2's easily.

ive been playing Ricochet the last couple of days... basically because i don't realy have time to play games but needed to do something to relax and its an old enough game to load and play for only a few minutes. although there is only a total of 10 servers for it and there is only 1 with people on it every time i play.... never realy caught on and most the people that play it are insainly good.

Dirt sounds good.  Jeffy, what do you use for a controller with it?  Are you using keyboard, joystick, something else?

The game was designed with the console in mind so I use a 360 controller.  (I don't own an Xbox)  Works great and its way better then any PC specific controller.  I used the older wired controller since I don't really care to worry about batteries.

I'm waiting for MW4 to be released as an exe.   http://mtxgear.mektek.net/MW4/

Free MW4 http://mtxgear.mektek.net/MW4/download.html

Would actually be worth looking into if MTX wasn't currently such a piece of utter crap. Good luck getting it to connect to the master server, and if you get that far, good luck getting it to download anything properly via torrent.

The X360 controller IS an excellent controller ... IF you have an X360. However, on PC, it's not so excellent and has quite a few issues. The drivers are basically worthless, for starters. You can't set deadzones, which is a MAJOR problem in every racing game on PC that doesn't support XInput (read: damn-near all of them.) You can't turn the triggers into 'buttons' which is a problem on most of the games you'll find. There are 3rd-party drivers (XBCD) that try to work around these limitations, but they don't support XInput (which is necessary for the controller to work with 'Games for Windows Live' games) and the drivers currently have a major bug where they don't report the stick inputs properly in most games you use it with, so you get really sporadic movements or none at all. It does work extremely well for emulators, though. Also, Xpadder is an absolute necessity if you have an X360 controller; you should check it out if you haven't already, Jeffy.

Using a wired controller is obviously the best choice for the PC player because it saves them an additional $50 that they would have to spend on the X360->PC wireless dongle. I mean, if I were gonna spend nearly $100 on a game controller for PC, I'd buy something pro-grade instead of the X360 controller. But at around $40 for the wired version, it's not bad at all.

They are working on a non MTX version.  I have an actual copy of MW4 someplace.  I'm not sure if it will run on W7.

How about Diablo II or something?

Yeah, I read that somewhere. I'll definitely get the re-vamp once they release a non-MTX version. I do already have an official copy of MW4 but damned if I know where it is :biggrin:

Huh? Diablo II was an awesome game, yeah. It's a bit dated now, unfortunately. You should know that there is a new game out called Torchlight and it is set in the same vein as Diablo. The game was developed by Runic Games, which is made up of ex-Blizzard employees that worked on Diablo I and II. The end game is VERY similar. However, Torchlight is awesome because it uses the more modern 'WoW' visual style, and it has a full 3D engine that absolutely rocks. They also added a pet system that simplifies certain boring tasks like constantly warping back to town to sell off loot. It's a low-budget game, and as such, it's very cheap. The only drawback to Torchlight is that there is no multiplayer; this is because Runic wants to turn it into an MMORPG a couple years down the road.

I'm just throwing out titles of older games so if we do a get together, we can all play without having to shell out $50-60.

Oh. Right on, then. I can't even play any of the newer PC games right now; my system doesn't have the spec for them. And I don't have an XBox Live gold account because I refuse to give Microsoft $50 a year just so I can have the 'privilege' of playing games I already spent $50+ on.

I used to have ReVolt on Dreamcast...

Any other games anyone can think of that allows multi-players?
