Sadly the console RPG is all about dead thanks to FPS games being incorporated. I agree the PC and handhelds are where the old school RPGs and turn based ones are.

If you're into D&D then PC is your best bet, honestly. There are several AD&D games for the PC, such as Baldur's Gate I and II, Icewind Dale I and II, Torment and Neverwinter Nights. Arcanum is also great and made in a similar style, though it isn't actually an AD&D game. They're older games, but they're still pretty awesome.

I don't think any of the current generation of consoles really offer that kind of game play. I remember there being some Baldur's Gate run on Ps2, but never looked into it. Fable I and II, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Arkham City/Asylum(more action and detective-y, but still has some RPG elements, kinda) are really great modern RPGs that are multi-platform (including PC) that may strike your interest if you want something newer.

The Super nintendo had a ton of them if you're into retro. The genesis had a few good ones including some strategy/RPG and a Shadowrun game. Xbox and 360 don't have much old school style. Sadly turn based RPGs are a dying thing in the US other than some on the PC.

I rented the game and actually enjoyed it quite a lot. It was pretty linear and wish it had more content but it was a fun experience. The game gives you the entire city to run around in but there it can get repetative because you get pretty much the same type of side missions (thug stealing a purse, catch a guy in a car, etc...) and the story missions are simple enough, go here through a one way path and fight the enemies and fight a boss. The mechanics are very similar to Arkham City and at times you it feels like they just slapped Spider-Man in Batmans boots (but just not quite and fun as Batman lol).

Out of 10 stars I would give this a solid 7.5, not great, but a fun game to pick up for cheap and kill some time with.

If you haven't played this, it really is good. And since it's been a few months, the price has actually dropped a bit, so it's more worth a play. Has a lot of aspects of Arkham City in it. There's a lot you can do, and you can keep going even after you beat the game. The story is very well put together, too. And follows right after the movie. So, watch the movie, then pick up the game and continue the story. The comic book pages are the only irritating portion though. There are sooooo many of them to gather. And you don't have maps with their locations like the Riddler Trophies in Arkham Asylum, or people to interrogate like in Arkham City. But, aside from that, I found it very enjoyable. Even has some nice alternate costumes, including Future Foundations which I don't recall appearing in ...

thanks for the head's up, mate! I was on the fence about picking it up and actually can to the forums to see if anyone played it. you sealed the deal for me!

I'm picking it up this week and going to the midnight premiere TONIGHT!

THWIP IT!

I kept my shadowrun stuff incase I need ideas plus I have all the Fallout PnP game stuff and a bunch of stuff for battletech mechs. There's tons of groups looking for players online but nearest to me is 2 hours one way. Bit far for me lol

I don't play them with others (mainly because I don't have anybody to play with), but I have a lot of the rule books for various tabletop RPGs that I use as reference and recreational reading material, particularly 2nd Edition AD&D.

I also used to play quite a bit Magic: The Gathering with my younger brother years ago.

I had tried getting a Shadowrun game going but pnp games seem to not be as big. Most of the local groups don't accept new members.

ah. good enough for me I suppose. weird though.

They came back during the Chaos War event in the Hercules comics. Sorry I don't know anything beyond that having never read Chaos War myself.

anybody know?

Your making it hard for me to like you DT.

1.Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Brett Heart, Stone cold, Cactus Jack, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, LOD, Bushwackers - no particular order

2.Cody Rhodes, THE Brian Kendrik, Gangrel, Viscera, Tugboat when he became Typhoon, X-pac, Shane Mcmahon, Steph McMahon.

3. Repo man?, IRS? ( think they were the same guy??)

Not heard anything about it at all , but would love to see more episodes of the animated series

I always liked the X series probably the absolute best due to one key feature... DASHING! The dash ability introduced by Megaman X made the whole series adjust to a completely new level of control for me.

Misadventures is the one Legends game I never got to finish, and the worst part is... Its apparently NEVER ran well on any emulator. I'm seriously almost entirely out of luck in wanting to play and beat it.

I plan on getting the originals and the collections for the newer systems. Can't believe Misadventures is that expensive, then again some games just get that way for whatever reason.

I'm a big fan of Mega Man as well--I like the classic games better than the X, Zero, Legends, etc. spinoff series, but I own, or have played, most of them. Mega Man 4, on the NES, is probably my favorite out of all of them.

wth really?

It's a very sad thing indeed. Watched every episode myself, and very much appreciated the show. Very sad.

I grew up watching the andy Griffith show, and to this day its still my all time favorite show..RIP andy ,youll be missed

WTF! No way! that is so sad. He will be missed. May her R.I.P

Nice!
I bought an X-Men #2 for 99cents at goodwill, Bummer is it doesn't have the cover but the rest of the book is in fantastic condition.
When I was really young I found a Wonder Woman #28 at a thrift store for $19.99, Being so young $20 bucks was big money for me but it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen (LoL) and I kept talking about it and my grandmother broke down and took me over to buy it.
Bummer here is I remember there was 2 other old WW's, Possibly lower numbered, But the one I got was in the best condition.
