I got out of gaming after my first PS died on me years ago. Soooo... I believe its time for me to get a gaming system. Any thoughts on which one people prefer. I have played alot on both systems, its just everyone I talk to is either one system or the other. One is better then this and the other yada yada, I want info that only xda can provide. Like say if I wanted to tinker with it. What do you guys think, which system would be the best for me?
for me , i play alot of with xbox360,
b/c live network is very tight for me
I would go for the PS3, because playing online with your friends is free there. On the xbox360, you have to have a Live Account which costs money to play online...And the PS3 has got the better exclusive Games (Killzone, GoW and so on ) and it can play BluRay's...

I agree, PS3 is the way to go. I have both but my 360 just sits there collecting dust.
And with the recent release of Gran Turismo 5, PS3 has been getting consistent use. Lol.
Blu-Ray movies are a huge plus as well.
Ps3. I regreted my xbox the first week. It blows!

Microsoft did research and found the controllers to be more comfortable and fitting to natural finger techniques.
Also, the game engines show up a lot better.
Yeah, you pay for the online experience, but it's worth it. As a result of your payment, they invest a lot more in the online experience and content.
Plus, what games does PS3 have going for it? GT5 is about it, and even then, the Forza series competes nicely.
I personally won't bother with a PS3 until they fix the controllers and Sony isn't such a douchebag company.

Hmm..Still,PS3 for me!!!
I have Forza 3 and Gran Turismo 5 and GT5 crushes Forza.
PS3 games that are worth it for me would be:
Uncharted 1 & 2
Infamous
Killzone 2 and 3 is coming soon
Resistance 2 and 3 is coming soon too
I also prefer the PS3 controllers, they feel more comfortable in the hand during long periods of playing time.
Definitely PS3! especially if you're into racing games, GT5 is hands down the BEST racing game I have ever played.

I can't tell what you're arguing?
Kinect is the first mainstream attempt at controller-less gaming. That deserves 400% credit. In the same realm, PS3 is a hi-def Wii (Wii sucks).

Don't get me wrong I think Android is great but I think it lacks a lot compared to the games for Iphone.
Why havn't the Devs come along and built the same type of QUALITY games for android that they have done for Iphone?
I have just sat for about an hour and hunted in the Android market for games similar to games ive just searched for on the itunes store, and all I can really find is cheap nasty replicas with bad graphics,shocking reviews and even scamming copies of certain games Zombies WAW is one thats on the market now.
Does anyone think/know if the gaming quality will be ever be as good as the Iphone, becasue I hate Iphones and it would kill me to get one to just play decent games.
Hmm, doubt it.

Why searching the same games? If I want to play iphone like games no doubt the best choice is....iPhone.
Android is the first operating system on phones in the world, and if you want good games you can have plenty... Android is not ios so don't think you'll find the same apps.

+1 for that. Android has many great games. for examples, games made by gameloft have nice graphics. Or from Pocket Legends. Cut the Rope (similar to iOS) also nice, angry birds, etc. Or my other favorite puzzle/mystery games such as mystery of the crystal portal, paranormal agency, etc. Many great games. Maybe it's because there are many more free games in android, many developers just upload crappy games. But if u want to search games that may (or may not) resemble iphone, u'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. Some android phones have better hardware than iphone. So, I guess there'll be many games that u'll love as long as u can find them.
The iphone is the most popular phone in the world.
Game companies want to make the most money possible.
They choose Apple over Android.
...
mega profit?
That is the only reason. That, and the fact that they only have to make one version of said game that will work on pretty much ALL apple devices, whereas, a decent looking Android game wont work on phones without GPU's, which is probably around 40-odd% of all Android phones on the Market.
Eventually, android will catch up with games and apps, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller all the time. It wont take long.

I really do hope they catch up, this is my list of PAID apps which are great but i'm a little disapointed at the THD games there are so few to choose from, I thought that the Nvidia Tegra Zone would be packed with great games, and at the moment there are only appox 15 games avaliable and it's been out quite a while now.
Sentinel 3: Homeworld
Samurai II: Vengeance THD
Airport Mania 2: Wild Trips
Sprinkle
Reckless Getaway
Cut the Rope
Fieldrunners HD
Guns'n'Glory
Bang Bang Racing THD
Fruit Ninja THD
Moto X Mayhem
Trial Xtreme
Pinball HD for Tegra
Guerrilla Bob THD

I know it's a pretty broad topic but I wanted to see what are some of the communities favorite games.. I never use to play games on my phone until recently and I must say, some can be kind of addicting lol.. I am by no means a "gamer" so that's why I thought it would be nice to get a conversation started regarding people's favorite games
Free or paid, it doesn't matter. If possible, post a Market link to the game your referencing and maybe a little description on why you like it
So, some of my favorite games thus far are pretty general
Battle Bears: Zombies
-I loved this game on my iPod.. The android version is pretty good.. Who doesn't love popping heads off pink bears?
Ninjump
-Simple and addicting. Love the simple UI
Angry Birds
-I don't really know why, but this has to be one of the most addicting games I have ever played..
Well so far those are the only games I've really played.. Your turn!
Asphalt 6, NFS:HP, Riptide GP, GT:Racing, Fingerboard, TrialX2, Spiderman, Minecraft.

very little.
I was making some wallpapers from some pics that caught my eye and a lot of them happened to be from classic video games: Mario, Zelda, etc. I just got to thinking that while a lot of today's games are widely-played, they just don't have that lasting value that the games of the past had, the games that appealed to everyone.
I know there are a few like Little Big Planet and what-not that still do something for everyone, but it's titles like Dead Space and Mass Effect are what move units now. In the "What are you playing thread" Skyrim and BF3 are tops. Halo inspired some cool things like Red vs Blue, but are any of us going to look back a in years to come and really feel like any of today's games are anything more than hours of well-designed time killing? Even one of my favorites in Ninja Gaiden Sigma makes me wonder if I'll see it as great down the road. I don't think Ocarina of Time will ever be a let down, or Mario Kart, or the old Metroid games.
I know this is a little disjointed but I just wanted to get it out. What do you guys think?
I see a field of fps & mmorpg. Not any that draw you into them. None like the classics. You're right.
Casual gamers are into graphics, real gamers play Gran turismo 1 into the night

Bugaboo the flea really did it for me too. I lost many nights' sleep over that game.
Also, pretty much anything by Ultimate - Jet Pac, Trans Am, Cookie etc.. They were all classics.
Most games today get played till completed then put back in the box until they're sold a year later. I do revisit portal and the most recent Assassin's Creed that I have at the time. Some modern games still have plenty of staying power, but I don't know if they'll be remembered in 30 years.
Yeah...definitely true OP. It seems as technology gets better, we only get better with eye candy (with some exceptions of course) But now a days kids think a game is good because it looks good.
I mean, i get it. I get caught in the whole graphics as well, but the content needs to be there also.
That or maybe i'm just getting older and thinking back on simpler times just seems like it's more fun.

Precisely, I don't like playing online with a bunch of people, just give me a good game I play at my leisure and have fun.
Excitebike, R.C. Pro Am, Maniac Mansion. So simple yet they felt worth the time.
Contra III, Golden Eye, the good old days.
The best games are always going to be the ones you played when you were around 10.
Twenty years from now there will be a holographic thread about how awesome Cut the Rope was, and BF25 is nothing in comparison.
It's not age, it's content. Maybe the whole thing with the games that feel that way is that they "take you somewhere else." It's fun to play BF3, but when you play Mario 64, or the Final Fantasy series they are their own experiences. Maybe it's just that I feel like I get enough death and mayhem on the news and I feel better when playing games that are just games, nothing too heavy.

Dude, I remember some of the old 007 fps games and they had killing, but they were great because of the stories or multiplayer action, in your home.

I do have to say I think I will always remember the Metal Gear Solid series favorably.
missing the "epicness" in today`s games. baldur´s gate 1 & 2 for example was sooo awesome. with more than 120hrs of epic rpg experience (if u fance the genre of course), proper characters and brilliant dialogue wrapped in beautiful visual art. imho there are but a few games on the market nowadays to rival games from the 90´s, such as bg1&2, where more quality games have been produced.
just my 2 cents

Hi Everyone! Can anyone recommend me best 2 player board game? My cousin came from abroad and we both wanna play board games. Can you guys tell which board game is best?
There are many best board games. You can choose any of them. I would recommend you to go for chess. It is just amazing if you know how to play.
I don't like chess. Any other recommendations?
Snakes and Ladders is my favourite board game if you're looking for a board game that won't make you think much. It's just an exciting game of going around the board, going up on ladders and sliding down on snakes.
