The Game

I JUST LOST THE GAME :0
What is The Game?

The Game is an abstract concept. It involves no tangible objects, nor is it played on any physical medium. It exists in the minds of those who play it, and it never ends. That's right, you can never win The Game (though this is debatable). To learn how to play, visit the rules section.

Online Games

Some of you might be interested in massively multiplayer online role-playing game, they are large online societies which provide chances to meet new friends from the whole world.

The two above MMOs are examples of monthly subscription based online games. There are also many MMOs out there that are so called Free To Play. For a list of free MMOs, http://www.onrpg.com/ is a great source. Hope You find something that you enjoy!

Remember that when you play PVP (Player vs Player) oriented games such as EVE Online, people will be trying to kill you for no other reason than because they can. A main rule of thumb for MMO's is trust no one.

  • Runescape is a fun online game to play. visit it here at runescape.com. This game has both a free and members version.
  • Click on the link to see Facebook games.

Defense of the Ancients (DotA) is a custom scenario for the real-time strategy video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for StarCraft. The objective of the scenario is for each team to destroy the opponents' Ancients, heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". As in role-playing games, players level up their hero and use gold to buy equipment during the mission.[1]

PS2 Games

Here are some PS2 games that no man should go to his grave having not played:

  • Gran Turismo 4 - One of the best driving games ever. 700 cars and 50 tracks. Get to it people..
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (yes I know they were ported to Xbox but that was pretty late in the day) - These games are quite possibly the best satire of contemporary culture in existence as well as being immensely fun.
  • Metal Gear Solid 4 - better than Splinter Cell, a must for the cunning among us.
  • Tekken 4 - Amazing Graphics, nuff said.
  • Call of Duty 2: Big Red One - Personal favourite, all that CoD goodness on the PS2.
  • Final Fantasy X: One of my favourites of the FF series, second only to VII. Brings in many unseen features: Voice acting, Conditional Turn-Based battle system, and the sphere grid. It was the first PlayStation 2 game to reach two million and four million sold copies. Great storyline, beautiful & smooth graphics, and a fresh new leveling system(which takes a little getting used to at first). Official US Final Fantasy X Website
  • FIFA 2009 - Beautiful game, such good graphics and game play options, it is highly recommended to any budding football fans out there or any one who just wants to have some fun.

PS3 Games

Fat princess is a fun new game that has recently come out on the playstation 3. The goal is to feed the princess so she becomes fat and can't be rescued. For more information, see Fat_princess.

PS3 games can also come in the form of downloaded network games. As the network for PS3 is known as the PSN they are often referred to as PSN games. Multitudes of downloadable games have been created so far including the likes of Savage Moon, a tower defense/strategy, and Crash Commando, a person versus person 2D shooter. These games are thoroughly enjoyable and make for cheap, convenient gaming.

Handheld Game Console

[edit]

GameBoy

If you're like me and you love fantasy/tactical style RPG (role playing games), here is a list of games that you might find interesting;

(Note: All links lead to corresponding Wikipedia.org pages). I prefer tactics based games simply because they allow more time for the player to think things through. We can plot and weigh the pros and cons of every action, without worrying that the enemies will come charging recklessly toward us.

Nintendo Dual Screen (NDS)

Information about Nintendo Dual Screen click here

Here's the Wikipedia introduction to the NDS:

The Nintendo DS (ニンテンドーDS, Nintendō Dī Esu?, sometimes abbreviated to DS or NDS) is a dual-screen handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in 2004 in Canada, the United States, and Japan. The console features a clamshell design, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP, with two LCD screens inside—with the bottom one being a touchscreen. The Nintendo DS also features a built-in microphone and supports wireless IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standards,[4] allowing players to interact with each other within short range (10–30 m, depending on conditions) or online with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, which launched later in the console's lifespan. This was the first Nintendo console to be released in North America prior to Japan.

Pokemon

Nowadays, NDS is commonly used to play any Pokemon games, like the recent Pearl/Diamond versions.

PSP

In recent years it's become obvious that technology is becoming smaller, and gaming is no exception. What started off as the PS2 soon made the leap to the PSP, a hand held version of the PS2 Console. Although unable to load PS2 games straight off the bat, the PSP is a first for Sony's PlayStation franchise, and has become hugely popular in the gaming industry. Should you wish to 'jump on the bandwagon' the following link should highlight to you the cheapest price available for purchase of the PSP console.

A newer version of PSP called the PSP Go is due to be released in 2009. The PSP Go will be smaller and lighter than the original PSP but it will not be equipped with the standard UMD Drive found on the original PSP. As oppose to using UMDs as storage media, the PSP Go will be equipped with 16gig internal memory as well as a Memory Stick Slot. All media and game contents will be purchased online through the Playstation Store.
