Yeah! They are making a new NBA Jam (2004) game.
This was one of my favorite games/series: NBA Jam, NBA Jam TE, NBA Hangtime. Then they changed the looks with NBA Showtimeand I wasn’t all that impressed.
The new game looks pretty nice though, and should be lots of fun!
NBA Street and NBA Street Vol 2 are great games, but slightly more “real” than NBA Jam. While Street lets you break the rules of the game, Jam lets you break the laws of physics!
I like Star Trek and I like video games. However, I’ve never played a Star Trek video game.
I’m told Bridge Commander is good, Elite Forces 2 is good, Away Team is good.
I’m curious what other Star Trek games there are and which ones are good. I’m mostly interested in games that follow “The Next Generation”, but I will consider others as well.
Thanks
I downloaded the Tron 2.0 Multiplaye demo.
I was very sad because my computer is not fast enough to run it! *CRIES* I had to turn the settings down to low detail to be able to move.
Its a very cool demo, lets you play light cycles and Disc tournaments. I had to run a server because every time I tried to connect to someone else’s server the game crashed to my desktop. Other than that and the sound not working for a tournament (went off at the end of the 1st tournament, and magically came back on at the end of the 2nd tournament) it was pretty smooth.
I bet it looks REALLY nice with a fast computer and a nice graphics card. I think it supports some new DirectX 9 features that should make it look really cool.
If you’re a fan of the original movie, I suggest you check this out!
We have 4 dance pads and only 1 works!
I got one for christmas, nice and big MadCatz (although a little thin). It was our first one so I had no idea what to expect. Worked great until I took it to my dad’s house. Either being folded or something killed it. Just dead.
I ordered one from RedOctane. They came highly recommended. However my experience was less than great. The first 2 pads they sent the Start button was stuck on. Finally the third one they sent worked. Its nice and thick (doesn’t bunch up as much as the MadCatz one did). They did send the other 2 free of charge, but I’m still very sad about their quality control.
So the MadCatz one dies and I decide to take the ones that have the stuck Start button apart to try to fix it. The inside is very interesting, but so far I’ve had no luck fixing it. I was hoping there would be something obviously stuck together causing the start button to always be on, but it must be more serious than that. I put a piece of paper between the 2 layers that must come in contact to register a step, but it was still stuck on. Must be in the circuitry or something.
Another idea is to make the 2 layers touch so as to make the “always on” be “always off”. It would render the start button useless, but hopefully make the pad useful. We’ll see what happens.
DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) is great at making exercise fun.
I don’t understand the “secret” to this game though. My guess so far is to master it, you need to memorize all the steps for the song. Right now we (my wife and myself play versus, at the same time) play 4-5 songs, on light and standard difficulty. Therefore I’ve only memorized 1 maybe 2 songs on light.
Light is pretty easy now that we’ve played them through a few times. We can get the “AA” score which means we hit every step (either Perfect or Great) and a combo with every step in order without any misses.
Standard on the other hand is HARD! Holy crap! Well, it depends on the song, but usually it involves 2-3 times as many steps as the light version, the steps now fall in between the beats (syncopated) and its usually FAST!
Seems this country likes to sit on its ass and watch TV, play video games, etc. Luckily this game involves exercise, allowing you to “have fun” by playing a video game. Works good at distracting my mind away from the fact that I am exercising. I’ll never go to a gym just to work out. I have to be playing a sport or in thise case playing a game so I’m not JUST exercising…too boring.
