    I quite like Energy drinks, it is a fitting substitute for alcohol.

On all the game sites I have been on, the critics have given it a bad review. But why? to me the whole Conflict series is original and fun. true, they are not without their faults but the overall game play and story of the games are pretty good. I have been playing Conflict Desert Storm 2 and Conflict Vietnam for a while now to try and see why people dislike the game, and I can not find a big reason. Gamespot said the original Conflict game was a 4.7 out of 10 which I just find stupid. Sure that was the worst of the Conflicts as they were still perfecting the game, but the over all game was great.
So what do you think of this? is the Conflict series bad or good?

I don't know, but it seems whenever I log in there are no good threads anymore. It is probably just me because I must admit I have been neglecting this place a lot because I have now created my own union on Gamespot so I have been spending most of my time there. I keep trying to come to GB everyday but I wish there was a Roll Call here like their is on Gamespot so I could have a proper conversation and not just post in a few threads then leave. The only thread I like on GB right now is Comment on the user above you, which is a thread that is pretty cool and it never dies.
~does anyone else feel the same way?

I honestly never would have thought that GTA on the PsP would be good. I rented the game thinking that it would be a washout and a waste of money, but then I could atleast say I played it. But when I got around to playing it I found that it was very well done. Liberty city on the PsP is a lot better than the Ps2 version I think, and this surprised me, becuase I really did think that this game would suck. So...yeah I found out that this game rocks, exept there are a few minor annoyances like how hard it is in the PsP version to get 4+ stars and, but driving etc I find a lot easier.
So if you have a PsP and have not got GTA, then get it!

Well right now I am atually playing a heap of games on and off.
I am playing...
Final Fantasy X, which I find an extremely addictive game, with a great story.
God of War 2, Finsihing Titan mode is harder than I thought...
Prisioner of War, Not many of you may know this game, but it is a classic in my opinion that is still one of my favorite games to play all the time, it has a good story, but can get boring after a while.
Shadow of Rome, A great game to let of steam in, if you are angry then this game transferes your anger into the game, which I love.
Pokemon blue, a classic of epic proportions, I love this game and will play it for many years to come, but it still eludes me as to why i still love it:P
God of War Chains Of Olympus, a tad short, but it makes up for this with a great story.
And last but not least...Syphon Filter Dark Mirror, Which is in every way like Metal Gear solid, but as bit less violent.
So that is it really, so I have a lot fo games to play and a lot to finish as you can see.

well For the past 2 weeks I have been playing and clocking every rockstar game I can find. Why do this you may ask, because I am Optiow that is why. I have played and finsished these games so far...
*Bully
*The Warriors (my fave game out of all I have played)
*GTA SA
*GTA VC
and I am waiting to play GTA LC as well, I think all of them are good, but Bully and the Warriors are the top two, mainly because of the fighitng combos you can do, but all Rockstar games have good storys and I love them!!
That is all.

Chains of Olympus does not dissapoint. (PSP)
When I first got CoO I had read heaps of Gamespot and IGN revews saying how dissapointing this game was, so when I got it I had my doubts. But when I started playing CoO those doubts vanished. I will tell you why...Like all God of wars so far there ...

Syphon Filter Dark Mirror. (PSP)
This game is hard to describe.If I had to discribe it in one word it would be surprising.When I got Dark Mirror, I was expecting a short, no storyed, broken PsP game that would keep me occupied for a few hours.But when I started playing, I could not stop.The gameplay ...

Mercenaries 2. (PS2)
This game is the bomb.It is like the first one ( Mercinaries, Playground of Destruction) but a lot better, the map is bigger, there are more enemys, more guns, more add-ons and more explosions.I honestly do not know why Gamespot rated this game so low. It is a great game ...

Shodow of Rome. (PS2)
This game can be discribed using one word, gory.It is one of the best gladiator games ever created. and I will tell you why.This game is good becuase it combines stealth, with fighting, with thinking.There is an exelent story in Shodow of Rome. It is set in the waning days ...
