The Video Game Thread

The "Re-Elected" version comes with "Gat Out Of Hell", I believe, and all the other DLC from the game so far.

I loved GTA up to 4, when it became a bit...serious? Probably the wrong word, but if one more person had asked me to go and play darts with them, I was going to lose my cool. 5 has an enormous world to play around in, and it's fine I suppose, but I've got zero desire to ever play it again.

I love Saints Row because it's just fun. If you've not played it yet, and have a console (the PC port is rubbish) I'd recommend picking up SR 2 as well. Some of the things you do to other gang leaders are just horrible.

MS just announced for the holiday's they're slashing the price of the XB1 by 50 dollars, including bundles. That means you can get an XB1 with at least one game for 350. The Assassin’s Creed Bundle comes with two games. Very nice.

Available on Nov. 2 in the U.S., the Xbox One Assassin’s Creed Bundle for $349 ERP features Assassin’s Creed: Unity as well as Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag on Xbox One.

Xbox One Assassin’s Creed Bundle with Kinect for $449 ERP features Assassin’s Creed: Unity as well as Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag on Xbox One. The Xbox One Assassin’s Creed Bundle with Kinect also includes Dance Central Spotlight.

The Xbox One Special Edition Sunset Overdrive Bundle, available in limited quantities now, features a sleek white console and wireless controller, a digital copy of Sunset Overdrive, and special Day One edition in-game items – available for $349 ERP.

The Xbox One Limited Edition Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Bundle for $449 ERP available starting Nov. 3, features a 1TB hard drive, custom console, custom controller and Limited Edition exoskeleton, plus a digital copy of the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition.

Did you buy an Xbox One at some point in the past two weeks? Well, Microsoft's got some fun news for you: they're dropping the price yet again.

That's right, after selling the Xbox One at $350 late last year and then hiking it back up to $400 on January 3, Microsoft is now offering another "promotion," selling their new-gen console at the now-normal price of $350. Despite the fact that this is labeled as a promotion, the folks in Redmond haven't given any sort of end date or duration, which is suspect. Incredible. R.I.P. $400 Xbox One (1/3/2015 - 1/16/2015)[/quote

I'm finally playing Minecraft and it is beautiful. The level of creativity and freedom is wonderful. It's easily one of the greatest games ever made. I regret taking so long to get to it.

I just saw that Google's game "Ingress" is going to work with AndroidWear watches soon and while I've never gotten into that game, it did make me realize something I do want to see.

One of the first games for Android was Zombie Run and it was so much fun when it came out. I never really played it myself but it was hilarious to set up a game, explain it to one person and then let them go without telling anyone around what was happening.

The first time I did it was after a softball game while the next teams were warming up. We were all on the third base bleachers having a beer and I selected the goal out in right field, handed the phone to a friend and explained that he had to get to the flag on the phone without any of the 'zombies' catching him. He bought right into it and just took off running and weaving all over the place, including through the people playing catch, to avoid the zombies that were chasing him on the phone screen. The rest of the team thought he lost his mind and the few of us who knew were laughing hysterically at their reactions and him running around in the middle of the field. Everyone really lost it when he just started jumping up and down right in the middle of a group of people because he won.

I haven't messed with anyone in awhile with the game because I'm afraid that they would drop the phone or something and break it. But if they can make it work with my watch then I wouldn't feel nearly as reluctant to strap the watch on their wrist and put my phone in their pocket so they can run looking at something that they can't drop.

I'm going to have to try that soon. My only knowledge of the game is seeing Conan's Clueless Gamer cover the game and hearing that people's kids are obsessed with it and I just never gave it a second thought. Probably is something that would be more my speed though. When it comes to video games the GTA series is my all time favorite and I can play forever but in general I'm not a fan of first person shooters or fighting games. That leaves sports and things like my current addiction, Civilization: Revolutions where I am not on the top difficulty now after having won all four ways with every civilization on the other levels. I might as well find a new game now because I am nowhere near being able to get a single victory on the Deity level.
