Gaming chat in general

[Noptraptor]

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping it is okay for me to talk about this here, as I'm not trying to take any posts away at all. I've started a blog where I'm trying to write about games that are really good to the point that they are either "must buy" or "must play" type games (and yep, CoX is going to be on my blog soon, I just got started and all). I'm hoping to earn extra income from the site, since I have some ads and all and get paid if someone clicks on an add and more if they click and buy something from some of the links.

I think it may be a good site if some of you with your own experiences wished or would like to leave any feedback on how you thought of the game or such, and definately leave me a list of the games you feel are great to own and/or play here (or there, but I really do like chatting here, and will likely spend more time here than on my own site unless it starts really paying, ah to dream lol). I'd appreciate the help, discussions, and such. I also offer game tips (what I know) and such at the site (I'd give them here as well if someone needs ;) )

My site is called Video Game Diversions and it's basically to try and share good games for people that don't have the most time to play everything, and with the economy and all, hopefully steer people to good games. It's located at:

Again, I hope it's ok for me to put that here, not trying to move any conversations at all, just hoping to help myself a bit both with word of mouth from you guys maybe helping me and I DEFINATELY could use some games to discuss if you care to list them here...assuming this post isn't deleted or such. Ok, that's enough of me blathering, and hope to see you all in-game soon. I think I'll pop in now, actually. *grabs for his cape, but then realizes he only has female chars and looks horrible in heels, so he puts it back and just grabs a soda*

Thanks a lot, you two!

Basically ANY game that would be likely to find the game and the console for, though even that won't matter too much, just nothing that would require say, an Atari 2600 for hehe. I'm basically just trying to write about games that are good for people that don't have enough time to really grind on for hours but can maybe set aside an hour or two a day max, or even just make a weekend "gaming day" and the most important thing I'm trying to do is help others that can't afford to have their money stolen by greatly over-advertised games that turn out to be flops be certain that I recommend the best ones for the dollar. That's a big reason I'm planning a CoX review soon, since it doesn't take forever to get into or to even level up (especially with the AE missions heh) and you can still enjoy it casually and set up maybe a weekend to do a TF instead of trying to be online all day (which I REALLY wish I could do lol).

As far as examples, I'm going to likely be writing about Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the PSX/PS3 (it's a dl-able for the PS3 now though I have the disc...and soundtrack, which is great for Halloween!), then I'm thinking of doing a couple of PS2 games that are pretty easily found in bargain bins but are fun (like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and perhaps The Thing that was based on John Carpenter's movie and I love and get scared when I play that one, but the latter game isn't as easy to find).

So pretty much any game that would be a great buy for someone, though I am trying to stick to games I have a system for, which sadly I only have my PC, PS3 (technically I have a PSX, PS2 AND a PS3 heh) and a Game Cube (oh, Eternal Darkness is a must own!) so I could use some input for games that are multiplatformed. I've so far only done for testing and becuase I got them recently the reviews for Infamous and Prototype.

I'll add the site to my signature, too...should help. Thank you both!

Well, the site is starting to get some games listed, and I've found mostly some good ones to recommend and am in the works to likely get a free gaming rental system for my reviews, etc...

More importantly, I reviewed CoX! There really was just too much to write, but hopefully what I did write will have other gamers joining us soon, or at least help some people not sure if they should skip it for Champions. Personally I'll have to wait for Champions since I need to upgrade my computer again, ugh, before I can run it after they released the tech specs, but I'm going to be sticking around CoX for a long time now, especially with what I16 will bring!

Hope the reviews help you all, and I found some great games that help beat the summer heat, as well as the summer slump that usually happens with games around this time of the season.

Soon I'll be reviewing Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, and it actually may surprise you that it has some pretty good things in it, though I didn't fall in love with it, but others certainly could! (either way it's a TON better than the first one, but the multiplayer is where I found people having more fun than is legal in several states hehe)

Have fun all, and see you soon!
