Has GTA IV Lived up to ALL of your expectations?
PaperBowser0 | 4:09 PM on 05.07.2008 13 comments


Okay, so I'll be the first to say that I haven't played the game yet, but am planning on getting it and playing the hell out of it soon. I don't have a lot of money just now buying my new laptop which makes me sad, but I have a question for all of you people in destructoid land. has GTA IV really lived up to all of your expectations? I mean the game has been in development for a while, tons of expectations were set, graphics, game play, and other stuff, but was it really want you wanted and hoped for in the end, and is it definitely worth the money that you shell out for it? I'm going to get it and play it no matter what and I'm sure that it's going to be great, and I'm never going to go outside for a week, but what do you guys think?

Would You Buy a PS3 or 360 for GTA IV?
PaperBowser0 | 3:49 PM on 05.01.2008 14 comments


Okay, I've yet to actually play GTA IV, but I had a couple of friends and people that I knew said that they were going to buy either a PS3 or an Xbox 360 JUST for Grand Theft Auto IV. Is it really worth it seeing how much you'd spend on the whole console and then just one game? I definitely know I wouldn't if it was just GTA IV. I guess with how good the actual game is suppose to be, and the good graphics and length of the game, it would probably be worth it, but it's just a lot for the average person or student to spend. Would you guys pay for a PS3 or Xbox 360 just to get GTA IV?

What necessary foods or drinks do you need to game?
PaperBowser0 | 3:45 PM on 04.28.2008 33 comments


I was thinking about this the other day, and what was necessary for me to actually game, or be a gamer. You have the stuff like the consoles, games, place and all of that, but what foods or drinks do you guys need to play games and be a gamer. For me I need to have at least 4 four packs of Monster in the fridge, a whole container of life water, and orange soda. For food, I need chips, any microwaveable foods, and KFC food. So what foods or drinks do you guys need to game?

Mobile Phone gaming...popular or not?
PaperBowser0 | 5:50 PM on 04.26.2008 7 comments


So there's tons of different types of games coming out on mobile phones, and there are a lot that are obviously not really good, but there are some that ARE good, if you give it a chance, but is mobile phone gaming really that popular, or are developers just putting games out on mobile phones to help make that extra cash? I just downloaded my first mobile phone game officially a couple days ago, and it was "Tower Bloxx 3D". I heard it was a pretty popular game, and that it was fun and addictive, so I decided to check it out. You just stack blocks on top of each other to make a tower, then you place it on a square in your town, your population grows, and your town status goes up. That's the only game that I've bought, and I don't know why, but DDR and Final Fantasy don't seem like they'd work really good on a mobile phone. What do you guys think about this? Is mobile phone gaming actually pretty popular, and are any of you guys mobile phone gamers?

Is anyone here excited for The Sims 3?
PaperBowser0 | 3:45 PM on 04.23.2008 18 comments


Okay, so I know it's probably one of the least hardcore games, besides like brain training games, but is anyone here really excited for The Sims 3? I bought the second one because it was the first one that I've played, and I liked it and still play it today, but it's just not a game that you can play for a short amount of time, you really have to put a se hour or so into playing it and advancing in it. So is anyone here going to buy or is excited for The Sims 3? I'm kind of excited, and the game looks great and I'm sure is going to be fun, but I probably won't buy it for a couple of months after it comes out, as I'm just buying it as a casual game. What do you guys think? Are you excited, does it interest you, and are you going to buy it?

Next Golden Sun - DS or Wii?
PaperBowser0 | 10:36 AM on 04.22.2008 19 comments


So which console do you want the next Golden Sun game to come out on (if they make one)? More than likely it will be either the Nintendo DS, or Wii, but which one will be right for the next installment in the series? Personally, I think that the Wii would be great with the motion control, but I don’t think that It would work to well going around the over world all the time with just motion control. On the DS, I’d like it on there because obviously it’s portable, and you can take it wherever you want, and I think that the controls would lend themselves perfectly to the DS. I personally think the DS would be a better choice, but either way, you still get a new Golden Sun game out of the deal.
