I was looking at most of those "fill out surveys and get money" programs and they are all crap.

IPB is just as good as a normal CMS. Its amazing. I mean the bfarber portal is so powerful and has so many plugins it is equal to nuke. IPB also comes with an IPB board unlike nuke which comes with a PHPBB board. I personally think IPB is the best script ever written and its mods are so advanced and fantastic. I personally think the IB pro arcade and the iB store are well written mods. Also such mods as custom page and article mods which allows you to add comments and ranks is also pretty nice as well.

Well its playstation2 most popular game so thats why I said it. I beleive it should have its own sub forum. Sorry if you do not agree with me. If we all had the same views there would be no point of these forums anway. LOL!

Online Play on Ps2 has become an annoyance and im going to rant about it right here. I am pissed with the way PS2s approach with online play. They have no ranking system and also they have *BLEEP* laggy servers. I am pissed, they dont even have a bungie based server running or a clan match program so people can organize and make clan battles which is available for the Xbox play. Xbox might be jumping ahead of the next consoles "war" because of how great LIVE is and they have better graphics. But when it comes down to it, the XBOXs main reason why its less to the PS2 is the controllers. The controllers on the XBOX are huge heavy joysticks....but now back to ranting on the PS2 online play..I was playing Socom yesterday and I was lagged out 4 times on 6 different servers. And this wasnt me because others were experiencing this. Most people have had enough of PS2 online and have switched to XBOX and I have done the same as well. The PS2 needs to do some real upgrading before the PS3 comes out for its online play.

We have all noticed such new features to Madden like the quarterback controls. I honestly htink being able to throw up top or onto the side or be able to throw behind the receiver is great but I think personally having to change views for a reciever is just plain stupid. And the fact that if the receiver has gone down 30 yard and is out of your view is stupid. I never knew playing quarterback was all about how great your vision was!

I made a little review from a bunch of sources on the GTA 5 teaser for PS3. I also have some pics as well.

Gran Turismo For PS3

Gran Turismo 5 Stuns Us Again

It was some time in late 1999 we had our first glimpse of seeing consoles get upgraded. When the Gran Turismo 3 trailer was released most of us were stunned and shocked that the images we were looking at were actually video game graphics. Like we were wowed away last time, we are doing the same again as the official GT5 teaser was released. The GT5 graphics for PS3 is a key example of how much the PS3 has advanced from PS2. Before such graphics as explosions and fires were without depth and very undetermined. The GT5 pictures show us show three-dimensional the PS3 has gotten with now explosions looking like the ones you?d see in the movies. Also something that has given us another reason to go buy Gran Turismo throughout its existence is the wide range of automobile they released. Even though it wasn?t a huge leap from the garage in GT4, there are still some nice new models we saw in only a 90 second glimpse.

But the one thing that caught the eye of everyone at the trailer viewing was how detailed the environment and the objects were. Scenes that showed glimpses of fans and tire crews were very realistic and seemed like you were playing a movie. Each character had cloth movement and lighting effects, something never seen before on the gaming screen. No more are faces simple eyes and noses, more has been taken effect into facial hair and skin texture. Also the background was luckily just as detailed as the people?s faces. In some parts of the trailer you can literally count the blades of grass! We also got a glimpse of some Monaco streets and some canyon courses that looked amazingly realistic.

The Gran Turismo series throughout its franchise history is one of the best ways to look at the next generation of gaming. It was one of the first games previewed for the PS1 and now after 10 years of dominance over other racing games, it comes back with the PS3.

To get your own glimpse of the GT5 for PS3 graphics look down. Images are thanks to IGN.

I think PHP Nuke might be the best web development CMS ever. It is so advanced but why didnt PHP nuke make some bond with IPB or VB instead of cheaping out and going with the free phpbb. If it figured somehting out with IPB, that would be awesome. But now most of you know about IB2nuke.com. Where you can add PHP nuke to IPB 2.0 or IPB 1.3 to PHP Nuke.

All of you are insane. Halo2 was terrible and besides that it was online and the first one wasnt is the only true reason Halo is even consider a great sequel. GTA 3 might be the best game of all time. It had the best plot, best maps and everything was good about it..unlike Halo2.....But Maybe you can consider Madden to be sequels. I will go with Madden 2005, as the best sequel if you include sport games. Otherwise its GTA 3.

Yeah Disney has made some great rides and really unique ones but they have never made any true real Scream Rides like six flags has made. They have no 200ft roller coasters and MT Everest Expedition is only going to be like 90 feet high, nothing special. Rocking Roller Coaster is more of a fun releaxing ride..by the time it was halfway done I was jamming my head to the music rather then the roller coaster itself. Also such rides as Splash Mountain are for kids and Space Mountain is one of the most overrated rides ever. But most people dont go to Disney anymore for thrill rides or the theme parks more for all the other *BLEEP* they have their like Downtown Disney and all 5 million kadrillion resorts they have there. I wish Disney had some good thrill rides, that would be great.

Zelda the windwaker...destroyed the zelda franchise... Ever since they made zelda cartoony its sucked. And everybody lets talk to the magic rock instead of a magic fairy. Wow Nintendo sure knows how to destroy its best game.

Sorry, don't mean to be hostile or anything, but I suppose you're talking about sales, rather than "best games", in which case it may have been better to say "Which of the highest grossing games for each console do you consider to be the best?" - and if you're not talking about sales, and not talking about console specific games, then... well I don't know.

 

Zelda has the best story? I imagined it had the best gameplay in terms of the freedom and innovation. I haven't had the most experience with an N64 though, so I probably wouldn't know.

OK....Zelda the Ocarina of Time without a doubt was the best game Nintendo Had. Counterstrike was the best PC game. GTA is the best on PS2 and might be the best of all time. Halo is the best XBox game.

There!

Goatse and tubgirl scare me very much. Whenever i think of it i get scared.

I just meant best games for each console. Yes GTA is out for xbox and PC but GTA seems to be known as Playstations number 1 game because it grosses twice as much with Ps2 then xbox does with GTA. Zelda the ocarina of time can be considered the best story of all time. So it crushes a fat plumber with a mustache. Yes it seems that they can be categorized like that as you showed before, but it can also be shown as the best games for each console.I never said flagship.

I took the best games from each console brand, XBox, PS, NIntendo, and PC, and put them on this little poll. Which one do you think is the best?The Best Storyline and Skill game of all timeOne of the Most original and fun games of all timeMaybe the best shooter of all timeThe Best Online Play ever

You guys are so insane! GTA: SA cannot compare to GTA 3. GTA 3 might be the beest game of all time! Its definatly in the top 3 with Zelda the Ocarina of Time and of Course Halo!

I visit everyday. But I dont post everyday. I post when I need to, I have to keep my hosting alive and honestly that is more important than me chatting in this forum. Sorry but tis the truth. Id say an hour a day, 5 posts a week. Around that.

OK, enough is enough. I have put each category of handheld and compared them.

Graphics

PSP: The graphics are equivilant to the graphics on a PS2 or XBOX. Also it looks like a High Definition tv screeen with it huge widescreen ..umm..screen. LOL. It is probably the most advanced to go console ever made and perhaps because it is a handheld, the best gadget of all time.

Nintendo DS: The graphics are cartoonish Nintendo Style.....The same as the Nintendo 64 and maybe a lil worse. There saving "dual" screen is over rated, it does nothing but show maps or a car driving wheel. The touchpad can only be used for moving the menu, or drawing to no one.

Features

PSP: It is basically an IPOD. It is able to store 1 GB of Music. You can download any songs from Napster or PSPs music program. Also it uses headsets, not a jukebox. It also is able to play movies,a nd now nearly 50 movies have come out for PSP, all being huge hits. This makes it everything in one.

DS: If you wish to play one on one with another friend but your friend doesnt have the game you can downlaod it wirelessly and play. It is pretty cool....also they have this thing called Pictochat where you can chat with people all voer hte world using pictures. Or so it says........you can only chat with people 30 feet from you which make this features.."worthless".

Online Play

PSP: It has a great online play for all games, you can with your friends using a headset or typing it using the directional pads and buttons. It can be done with a router or modem. It is awesome.

DS: None, absolutley nothing. cant play with no one, just like all other nitnendo games. It will go down just like Nintendo will.

So after this you can make your decision..whether you wish to pay 100 dollars more for one of this best gadgets of all time..or waste 150, on a fun arcade like styyle DS. Its up to you!

This really annoys me alot! People saying IPB is worse then PHPBB is nothing more then the fact because pHPBB is free and IPB is not. IPB has such a huge ACP panel and its acess to the MYSQL is awesome and I love it. I mean you shoudl compare InvisionFree to PHPBB. Ipb belongs with VB. They are the two best boards and now they are great for php portals. PHPBB needs to be good with only one program. NUKE! Without php nuke phpbb is nothing. And now I have seen site swich their Phpbb on their nuke to IPB. Makes sense doesnt it, the best Web Portal, with the best board.

What do you think is the best portal for IPB. I think it is hte bfarber portal. I think it is awesome with the layout and such. It has so many darn plugins for the best mods. I mean, nearly every major ipb mod has some sort of plug inf or this portal. I just found one for the D2 Article System! Plus it is very nice and its an even layout. With the two side of the portal being nice and all. The D2 Portal was my favorite for a while. I thought it was the best. Until I realized the lack of plugins it had and the fact it gives members a way to change the layout. I hate that. The MKPortal gets on my nerves because it is so compact the navigation sides...and the news or articles center is so big. Plus the portal can be very wide and uneven. The Unreal Portal is ok, but like the D2 Portal, just a lack of Plug Ins.

Google is also great because of google ads. I mean my favorite feature is google images. I mean that is awesome. Also googleEARTH is just as good as mapquest and it gives u a real life visual of the place. Also that can be harmful for like hunting down, and stalking and such. LOL.

Why dont u send us a link instead of getting hosting credits?

The PS3 will be the best of the three. With the 550 mhz, the bluetooh technology, blu ray technology, it is no doubt in my mind it will be the best. Also the best games always run to PS3, except for Halo of course.

well its old news, the deal was done a while back and did that make alot of people angry that epsn lost all rights to the nfl liscense.

 

you can say this is the first gaming francise to monopolize a particular series of games can't wait till square-enix takes over all rpgs

This angered me so much. The gameplay in ESPN is so good and the graphics and quality were better then amdden. Plus they had such things as leading and all. It was such a good game! The fact that they were bought out isnt tur exactly though. It was more of a merge because now ESPN video games will have its logo somehwere in Madden06. This means good features from both games. Personally i thought Maddens Hit stick was a horrible waste of time. It was overrated and literally pointless.

 

The whole view and style of ESPN was better then Madden. I mean Madden had slower unrealastic players with their big bulky bodies running all over the place.

 

ESPNs Online play was also set up better. With the friends list, Private message system, it was great. Also with the season play, features and monthly roster updates it rocked. Maddens features werent even as close as good.

 

But hopefully them merging it will be great..and my boy is on the cover!

I never knew sites like that can be so small...wow.

I think that will be cool. I wish you guys got IPB store 3.0 though. That would be great! A store does take up alot of space though . And bringin back an arcade would be sweet as well. I remember there use to be one here.

So do you think that the next GTA will be any good. It will be for PS3 and liberty city stories must be in NYC. After Cali it looks like New York was the only place where they could go. This could be nice with it most likely being set right in the center of New York and maybe having Harlem play a major role.
