Gibson 12-03-2005, 12:13 PM Everquest 2.
Diavolo 12-05-2005, 03:33 AM There is a free Spongebob game with Cheerios! I played it today; it's fun!! :D But you're in Europe, so you might not be able to get it. :(
King Kong for X-Box looks pretty cool! :nice:

Diavolo 12-05-2005, 03:35 AM Oh, and those Silent Hill games have nice creepy graphics.
wow that does look cool, king kong.
everquest 2 and silent hill, Ill check it out, thanks.
86Dude 12-05-2005, 05:09 PM Grand Theft Auto San Andreas = most entertaining game ever.
GROFF200 12-05-2005, 05:21 PM San Andreas is great, but like most GTA games I've found that I stop playing long before I finish the game. Of course, it depends on personal attention span.
Lately I've been enjoying City Of Villians. I find it's a good MMORPG you can play as an individual or with a team.
Everquest 2.
he said stunning graphics, not south park graphics. :|
Gibson 12-05-2005, 05:41 PM he said stunning graphics, not south park graphics. :|
PFUAH!!!!
I think you're referring to WoW with it's cartoon-style graphics :p:p:p

today I bought some game called schizm, and it sucked. it was very cheap though so who cares..
jeremix lend me need for speed, which is mildly fun.

Prince of Persia, any of them
TheAmber 12-06-2005, 05:25 PM OK two games come to mind. The first does NOT have "stunning graphics" but it is an interesting new gameplay (compared to any other game) and is pretty fun with great music. Every person I've introduced to this game has become somewhat addicted. It's called Katamari Damacy. The sequel just came out, "We <3 Katamari", and both are pretty freaking cool.
Normally I would suggest various forms of Final Fantasy but it seems you want something a little less strategy oriented. I'm still going to suggest something "Final Fantasy" though. Kingdom Hearts. If you haven't played it, you really should. Yes, it's based on Disney characters (and Nightmare Before Christmas) but I have to say the story is good, the graphics are pretty damn good and running around in various movie areas (like having to shrink and grow bigger in the Alice in Wonderland forest and at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party). It's got a little strategy (you still have to pay attention to gear, and you can use various elemental spells) but it's not so deep into it that you can't just sit back, have fun, and attack things violently with your keyblade.
Monster 12-06-2005, 07:19 PM Kingdom Hearts also has cartoony graphics, and call me crazy but he might not enjoy playing as Disney characters.
If you're looking for a fun game with good graphics, try City of Heroes or City of Villains.
Also, Black & White 2 recently came out, which is supposed to have stunning graphics if your computer can support it. The Sims 2 boasts similar achievements.
For a game that's nothing but mindless destruction, you can get Hulk: Ultimate Destruction for the PS2 or XBox. Fully smash-able environment. Very fun and totally thoughtless. :)
And there's always World of Warcraft, Civilization IV, Elder Scrolls IV, any Star Wars game, and really a ton of other new or recent games that you can look into as well.
TheAmber 12-07-2005, 02:10 AM I'm sorry for some reason I was thinking they were a girl. Forgive me for being re-new >.>
nah no girl here.:)
thanks for teh advice everybody.
monster, I did play one of those new starwars games, and that looked amazing.
is that second myst game any good? or is it boring? I saw it real cheap.
SudruhEsO 12-07-2005, 06:44 AM the best are the old ones... the good old beat'emup arcade style!! final fight series, double dragon, all comic based /punisher etc.../, dungeons and dragon series. capcom rules...
the newer games are mostly 100% cool graphics and zero fun.
TheAmber 12-07-2005, 12:24 PM Speaking of that, every once in a while I go back and play Baulder's Gate: Dark Alliance. It's older but overall a great game.
Ponycar_302 12-07-2005, 12:39 PM I'm sorry for some reason I was thinking they were a girl.
A lot of people think Oki is female when they first interact with him. I did too. :)
Oki, try Rome:Total War. It's a strategy game with pretty good graphics.
Monster 12-07-2005, 12:52 PM I also have to plug the game I'm working on. Just because...well...I have to.
Empire Earth II just came out with a new patch that modified gameplay and made it more challenging, and the expansion pack has been announced and given a release date of Feb. 2006. I'm still working on the expansion pack, though, so I can't say anything more about it other than it's a lot of fun if you like the EE series and RTS games in general.

whats the best game youve ever seen/played/tested?
tams prince of persia looked prety cool too.
the best are the old ones... the good old beat'emup arcade style!! final fight series, double dragon, all comic based /punisher etc.../, dungeons and dragon series. capcom rules..yea well I sort of agree with that, still havent found a singe game that can beat galaga, actually:p but the level of graphics is something that is cool by itself.
so thanks for the suggestions, Im gonnacheck it.

TheNatural 12-07-2005, 09:26 PM heard indigo prophecy was good, that might be up your alley....DON'T get that game GUN.it's pretty dumb.
do play the warriors.
if you dont find anything from us, another idea is to go and look at some gamereviews. as i mentioned before, im a gameflyer and their site has reviews, screenshots, and tons of other informative stuff.
just my $.02

For the X-box, Baulder's Gate.
You won the internet.
Von Apfelstrudel 12-08-2005, 07:04 AM Baulder's gate ?

TheAmber 12-08-2005, 09:45 AM Mep it's Baldur's Gate ^^; not Baulder's. Sorry

the other day I followed your advice and downloaded the demo. but then I started it and it started loading for a freaking 20 minutes, and I ha dto go to work, so turned everything off.
got home again, and started teh game again, it starts updating files. after 15 minutes or so, I gave up, and uninstalled.
is that normal? it did look pretty cool, the pics on the site. but Im not so sure, like apfel said, if its smart for me to get into one of these online endless fantasy games...:|

hmm... Ill give it another shot later then, when Im more patient. :)

Devil May Cry
Kingdom Hearts
Final Fanstay
Legend Of Zelda

I will never buy EQ2/pay to play EQ2 now due to the fact theyve made it near impossible to register for that trial.
